Costly or dangerous
F4Y7ERPY leaves oil stains on clothes, runs loud, drum found broken
Owner of a F4Y7ERPY reports oil stains on laundry and loud running from the first day; service eventually found the drum broken, repaired it, but the faults returned, leading to a consumer-court ruling for a replacement machine that was then delayed.
What to check. Oil stains on clothes plus loud running point to a drum/bearing seal failure. This is a serious, hard-to-fix defect; if you see oil on laundry, do not accept a temporary repair — pursue a replacement while under warranty.
F4Y7ERPYP excessive vibration and water leaking from the front panel
Owner of a F4Y7ERPYP washer-dryer reports the machine vibrates violently on every run and leaks water from the front panel; LG authorised service visited three times, said a part would be replaced, then said the part was not in stock and offered only a refund.
What to check. Before buying, check the unit's balance in the showroom, and be aware that vibration-plus-panel-leak complaints on this model have gone unresolved through multiple service visits. If you already own one, document the leak and vibration with video and push for a replacement or refund while the 3-year warranty is active.
Owner of a F4Y7ERPYW reports the machine walks and shakes starting 15 days after purchase; three service visits did not resolve it, and the service claimed no fault even though the owner had videos of the machine moving while level.
What to check. A machine that walks on a level floor points to a suspension/balancing fault rather than user error. If you see this, keep video evidence and insist on a written service report, since the seller may otherwise claim no fault exists.
F4Y7ERPYWPLTK severe vibration and noise during spin
Owner of a F4Y7ERPYWPLTK (11/6 kg) reports violent vibration and noise during every spin; three authorised service visits delivered no fix, and LG Turkey declined a replacement request while the machine was under warranty.
What to check. This is a recurring pattern across F4Y7ER variants: spin-phase vibration that service cannot resolve. If you buy one, test a full spin cycle before accepting delivery, and treat 'service says no fault' as a red flag rather than reassurance.
F4Y7ERPYP runs loud; service found loose mainboard (anakart) and could not fix it
Owner of a F4Y7ERPYP reports the machine runs loud from installation day; service first levelled the feet, then opened the rear cover, said the mainboard was not secure, and re-secured it — but the noise did not stop, and the seller refused a refund.
What to check. A loose mainboard causing noise is a build-quality defect that a simple re-securing did not cure. If your unit is loud from day one, do not accept a 'no fault' verdict; ask for the service report and push for replacement while under warranty.
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.
