I bought this washing machine 6 yrs and experience plastic erosion. Anyone know why or how to prevent this from happening? Beside that the main board also faulty cause the heater not functioning.

I cut my finger deeply whilst cleaning the rubber seal from lint etc. Up the top, if you put your fingers behind rubber seal (as per cleaning with a cloth) your fingers will meet a serrated edge just like a knife blade! I wont add photos as a bit gruesome but I got myself a nasty deep bleeding cut on my finger. Im now sure what role that part plays in the machine but I think it shouldn't be accessible to anyone, especially those with children. Perhaps LG could take this as a suggestion for improvement/redesign of the product?

Worked well initially, although started to fall apart after 2 years and 4 months. Yes, that's right, just 4 months after the warranty ran out. Same happened with our LG TV and DVD players. I will be steering away from LG in the future.
