We bought the top of the line front loaders LG steam washer/gas dryer($3000) less than 2 yrs ago and since then two of the little hoses inside the machine for the water inlet have burst. They are not the ones from the wall to the machine, but inside the machine. They were simple fixes once you took the top of the machine off. But the hoses they used apparently aren't holding up. I was told that to get the replacment hoses from LG would take 2-3 weeks and that I should only use LG hoses. Well, I wasn't impressed with the first set so I replaced them with automotive high-pressure fuel injection hoses. Seems to be working fine now. Other than that, I like em.....
Forgot....one other problem is that the door on the washer is not reversible. Makes it really inconvenient when you have to put the dryer to the left of the washer and the washer door opens towards the dryer....It would take some major work to reverse the connections....
