Can HARD water, or Softened Water with salt pre-maturely corrode an aluminum spider in an LG SteamWasher? Mike |

Would be prohibitively expensive and when you consider most spider failures are caused by gross misuse of the machine and thats not something manufactures test for or care much about. I don't see how one can consider that LG and Samsung are well made durable products when in fact they have no long term history of building high quality appliances and neither company has anything resembling a national service or parts distribution system in the US.

What part of "planned obsolescence" do you not get? A spider made of metal that is designed to corrode over time is a perfect choice.
On the other side of the coin, I own an LG, and, as I've said before in many posts, to my untrained eye, this thing seems designed and built like machines from the sixties. I've used it as my daily driver for 7 years without a breakdown (knocking on Korean wood).I would imagine that a company like LG, trying to break into the US market, would want to make its first runs built well enough to make a good first impression. Almost all of the complaint against the company that I've heard are about its spectacularly poorly trained support/service network. |
