Having a real problem with the LG Turbodrum recently, load after load of ordinary daily clothes and underwear are coming out with quite a bit of pilling and lint on them.
Not sure what might be causing the problem as we separate all loads into their various batches, do not overdose on detergent, rarely use fabric softener, don't really use too much Vanish type products and do regular warm washes to prevent build up and of course clean out the 2 lint filter bags after each load. I am finding if I over ride the automatic water level selection function and go straight to highest water level, this alleviates the problem a little but does not entirely eliminate it. I am starting to get a bit frustrated with it even though it recently passed it;s 10th birthday, I am thinking it may be replacement time. I do really like the look of the Beko 6.5kg F.L., but also the Euromaid 7kg F.L. and the Fisher&Paykel Washsmart T.L. range. What do you guys think, persevere or time to go shopping for a new laundry companion. Also we gave the Haier twin tub away to a cousin of ours who's machine also bit the bullet and he really wasn't in a good financial state to replace his one, what bad timing. | ||

I'm voting on the detergent side If you are starting to have issues, and the machine worked fine up until recently, you may want to try a different detergent, and possibly more detergent.
In the back of my washer manual one of the problems solved is Pilling and linting. Solution: Add more detergent to help keep the dirt and lint in suspension. | ||

Thanks for the tips
Thanks for all the tips and advice guys, much appreciated, as for the detergent question, we do use various different ones, at the moment we are using Bosisto's Eucafresh, which is a bit different to most others as it doesn't have chemical fillers.
I think it is basically a soap based one infused with eucalyptus oil, I like it as it dissolves completely without any fuss and cleans quite well. I might try a load tonight with the box if Fab we bought the other day with a little more and a higher water setting. Re the question on bearings, I think there might be a bit to that hence why I will try the Dab with more water and see what happens Mind you whilst looking at others online, I have taken a real fancy to the Euromaid WM7 front loader. | ||

Well apparently... OMO is the best detergent you have. [[ It seems identical to our Persil, they even use the same adverts. Persil is an excellent detergent. OMO advert [[ PERSIL advert [[ ]] | ||
