Costly or dangerous
Recurring motor and main-board failures; 6 service visits in 5 months without a lasting fix
Owner reports continuous motor and main-board faults from purchase, six service visits over five months, the machine fully dead for a month, and four refused replacement requests.
What to check. Electrical failures (motor/control board) are reported as persistent and hard to resolve on this model, with the unit left unusable for long stretches. Factor in the risk of a machine that spends months in repair.
Door bellows (körük lastiği) tears repeatedly and leaks water; 4,000 TL charged despite warranty
Owner replaced the door gasket a second time in two years; the torn gasket leaks water while running, and the service charged 4,000 TL even though the unit was under warranty.
What to check. The door gasket is a recurring, costly wear part on this model. Budget for repeated replacement and expect possible out-of-warranty charges even within the warranty period.
Excessive noise and shaking, machine moves side to side, failing 17 days after purchase
Owner reports loud noise, severe shaking and the machine moving side to side from day one, failing within 17 days, and requested a refund.
What to check. Vibration and noise early in life point to a drum/balance fault. Test the unit's spin cycle at delivery; if it shakes or is loud, reject it immediately rather than waiting for a repair cycle.
New machine shows mold, corrosion and rust inside the drum and hose from the first day
A brand-new 9120 DMX showed mold, corrosion and rust inside the drum and a moldy hose immediately after installation; the complaint thread was later marked resolved by a unit replacement.
What to check. Inspect a new unit's drum and hose at delivery, since mold/rust has been reported on a factory-fresh machine. If present, push for replacement early rather than accepting a repair.
These reports come from the pages linked under each item: owner forums, repair guides and workshops. They are not a diagnosis of any one unit, and a careful check of the one you are buying still applies.
