Got a few bags of those on sale. Effective in loosening and flushing out stuck lint during cleaning cycles.

Had a problem with 2 Panasonic top-loading non-inverter machines. 1 is an 8.5-kg machine that I bought June last year and the other is a 6.0-kg machine that I got my parents last Christmas.

Same problem on both units: a clicking noise every time the pulsator spins during the wash cycle. We're sure nothing's getting caught in the tub.

Anyways, I'm just sharing this info because this may be a problem that is common to Panasonic (at least for the non-inverter line of washing machines).

Customer service has so far been okay. Thank goodness both are still under warranty.

Got a visit from Panasonic tech. Seems the bearing assembly needs replacing. The motor is okay and nothing's jammed in the tub. Bad news is the unit needs to be pulled out. Hopefully, they get the spare part first before pulling it out para saglit lang mawala ang washer namin.

Called it in 2 days before the warranty expires, whew!

Our LG misbehaved again after a month of smooth sailing. Called in techs from a 3rd party service provider and LG PH.

The 3rd party tech was obviously not an expert with my particular model and he couldn't find anything wrong with it. Luckily when the LG tech arrived I had evidence of the malfunction. We loaded the machine for a test run and confirmed that there was an issue with the drying cycle. Pumps, inlets, and heater element were all ok leaving him to conclude that the mainboard needs looking at. He'll be back with the parts and hopefully that finally fixes it.

How old is your LG?

3 years pa lang of almost daily use. I agree too early for a board issue. Usually it's the pumps that go first but no errors were reported and the cycle completed.

Oh my, that young?
The trusty ol' analog dailydrive Whirlpool below is almost of legal age....very loyal workhorse!

Cleaned, de-rusted, repainted...just in time. Models after this are like modern cars...elelectronified & engineered for obsolescence.

Perils of modern tech. Advantage lang ng inverter motor is the fine control it has over tub movements. Never pa ako nakakuha ng tub imbalance error while spinning. It throws the clothes around until it gets an acceptable result.

True, wish we can have everything. The old school mechanical does the job fine + proven reliability/longevity & serviceability ease....can't complain.

I think I finished reading all the Washing Machine threads at the board already.

I can't decide between Panasonic and LG - it's the brand with the most feedback (BOTH positive and negative) from members. What I hate the most is having to repair or service anything.

Sharp - not considering this brand because our Sharp TVs both had problems in less than 5 yrs.
Speed Queen - all positive feedback but it's too expensive
Whirl Pool - Positive feedback for the old models

Below are the factors I need to consider

1. Durability - it would last 10 yrs? It seems like most of the washing machines conk out in 6 to 8 yrs?
2. Size - Is 6 to 8 kg enough? I only wear shorts and tank top and will only do laundry once a week. Different load for fat labs toys, towel and bed sheet
3. Inverter or Non-inverter - 5 to 6 loads a week (we change sheets every 2 weeks and fat labs toys are not washed weekly)
4. Manual or Automatic - I want a washing machine where I will just load the clothes and come back when it needs to be air dried na
5. Front or Top load - I think top load is okay since I read that the price difference is huge
6. Functions - simple and not too much electronics or buttons
7. Budget - P20k maximum

It looks like the pandemic won't be over any time soon and it'll take a longer time before our labandera can report back to work. I really appreciate her more now because I had no idea how hard it was to hand wash a bath towel and clean fat labs toys (it gets so heavy when wet and so hard to rinse clean) I still prefer my clothes hand washed so the washing machine will probably be used just for bed sheets or towels when she's back to work.

1. Lint filter

Be careful sa LG, their lower end washing machines don't have the good lint filter. if you look at their 22kg washing machine duon lng niila na mention yun lint filter.

on the samsung they the "magic filter" even on their lower end.

2. Dispenser

sa LG ko, I use liquid detergent. and the dispenser is a water fall type. panget coz maximum dose yun detergent, some clothes are semi bleached. WTF

on most samsungs its got a proper dispenser, medyo diluted yun detergent. you can avoid the bleaching effect.

[papi smith]

1. Around 5 years
2.-5. you already know the answer
6. All budget washmac have simple controls
7. 10-16k for 7.5kg too load, cheaper for affordable brands like midea, american home, fujidenzo...

I have two 7.5kg full auto top loaders, Sharp at 10k and Whirlpool at 15k

our sharp washing machines lasted so long, we got another sharp to replace her.

our sharp ref was with us for so long, i had forgotten how old it was.
"manang, sino ba na-una, yung ref o yung anak ko?"
"doctor, na-una yung ref."
my son is over 24 years old.
it broke down a few months ago. when i had the repair man have a look, all he did was to re-charge the freon and the ref is back to normal.

i suppose,
it's not only the brand.
it's also the amount of use it gets.

some colleagues got front-loader.
even if they say it is more efficient,
"it would leak after some time."
personally, i wouldn't know.
our WMs are top-loader.
