LG WASHING MACHINE WARRANTY, OR LACK OF.
5th July 2019. I have an LG washing machine that died on 30th May . It has a 10 year warranty and was purchased on the 28th January 2012 from "The Good Guys" at Botany. The Good Guy's went bankrupt on 6th April 2018 so I can not return to them to sort it out for me. I phoned LG Electronics when it died but was fobbed of by them because I could not find my receipt though I had my bank statement with the payment on it.
It still has 2 1/2 years left on the warranty.
I was not told by the salesman when I purchased the machine that LG appliances warranty is not a full warranty, LG will only supply the parts for their warranty, and the customer must pay ALL labour costs for LG to HONOUR their warranty.
I approached LGs service agents and paid for a check of the machine. LGs service agent noted on the invoice. "NOT WORTH REPAIR". Seven years only for a washing machine??
The body of the machine had rust around the joins after only two years. The body of the LG machine only has a warranty for two years.
On the 25th June after I had the agents check done, I sent a copy of the invoice and a photo of the serial number from my machine to LG. I received a reply which stated I would hear from the resolution team immediately.
The first three letters of the serial number are 112 which I have been told tells them that it was manufactured in January 2012. The same month and year I purchased it.
I still am waiting for a reply from LG as to whether they will honour the warranty or not.
How long should I wait before I contact the Commerce Commission.
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
