12 years ago when my Miele was brand new I`ve had one of those Alpha flight jackets, they were still in fashion back then. I must have underestimated how sharp edged and heavy the zip fastener was and haven`t closed it before washing or maybe it just went open during the wash I don`t remember anymore, but the result were deep ugly scratch marks in a brand new door glass. So I can feel your pain, but some wear and tear is also an inevitable fact that comes with normal use. It`s annoying but I wouldn`t worry too much.

I thought that too when I saw Mrboilwash's photo. My old AEG gashed its door glass when it leapt into spin on one occasion. |

Never thought of an out of balance situation to blame for the scratches, but it does make sense. It definitely was the jacket but now I`m not so sure about the zipper anymore.
Guess I just denied the thought of the drum hitting the the door because you wouldn`t expect that from a Miele, even less so when it`s brand new. LOL You should be glad you haven`t hurt yourself with a fork in your pocket. It`s almost a miracle no other clothes have been "harmed" and the washer got away with only a few scratches. |

It looks pretty normal to me. Is the LG's drum perforated too, on the front wall? It looks as though there is light shining through between the drum's steel lip and the rubber door seal. |

As a matter of interest, have you noticed any pilling/bobbling of cottons with your LG? Does it rinse well? Member "Dreamclean" in the USA has been having problems with her LG machine. |

I concur. A good sneeze is enough to dent modern metal. If they make it any thinner, it'll be tinfoil. |
