LG ThinQ Care Warranty Promo

Offer Expires: 7/11/2024 to 12/31/2024 Must be postmarked by: 2/28/2025

Purchase a qualifying LG product and register it through ThinQ app to receive a free 1 Year Extension on Manufacturer Warranty, valued up to $185. Rebate form must be postmarked by 2/28/2025.

Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Worn out after 5 years

BigHorn 6/13/2024

I bought this high capacity dryer over 5 years ago and it stopped drying adequately after it was out of its extended warranty so I had 2 appliance repair shops look at it and after they diagnosed it they said it was the vent. I had 2 vent cleaning companies with one repeat visit clean my vent and said was the dryer. I installed a new dryer vent with a short ~6 run out the side of the laundry room and it shuts off within 10 minutes on normal setting and only dries clothes now on Jumbo load setting wasting a lot of time and electricity. I realize this is over 5 years old but it should have lasted longer for the price of this high capacity dryer. IMHO I think one of the seals on the drum is worn out but they could not replace it to get the hot airflow out of the dryer because one technician said it was turning on/off even when the outdoor vent was disconnected and there is some hot airflow through the vent but not enough to dry properly. I would not spend the money on this expensive high capacity dryer because it is not built to last.

MST442 11/8/2023

We bought this 3 weeks ago and are very happy with the actual results seen in our clothing and towels. It is a very quiet machine and handles big loads. Purchased through Costco on-line and the delivery and set up was outstanding

capacity is great

Dog family mom 10/24/2023

Machine is awesome love the quick wash and the kicker too. However I really am not sure what the WIFI enabled system is really for looks like the only thing I can do it run a scan to check for any issues with the washer and dryer well if there was any issues I think I would know when I go to pull my clothes out. I would really like to be notified when the cycle is done or be able to freshen up my clothes in the dryer

Love the Big Dryer

Happy_in_Texas 7/17/2023

Its not just that you can fit more in the big dryer its that it is more efficient. The more space there is the less the dryer load is packed together and the hot air distributes more evenly. It dries *faster*.

Outstanding

Debbulah 4/13/2023

We purchased the LG washer and dryer after much research and conferring with friends and family. All agreed that LG was the only way to go. We were nervous about all the different options but quickly got over it. When we make washes there is still plenty of room to add things. Our old washer and dryer were so much smaller. What a find. Also the clothes seem to come out so much better. We couldnt be more pleased. We hope the LG pair are with us for a very long time.
