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: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.1% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
80.6% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
19.4% No. This would be impossible in practice.
