Front load washer

Have a LG on a pedestal. Just place the pedestal where you want it and then set the washer on top. Then make sure the whole thing is level. I can't imagine a reason to lay it down.

And I'll echo the other comment. When this machine dies I'll never buy another front loader.

While you're doing this, go ahead and clean the coin trap. Mine had over $4 in it

you can lay it on it's back.

but if i had my way, i would get rid of our front load and get a top load.

Just get a Speed Queen top loader, official washing machine of TD. We love ours.

Everyone of my friends who have the front loaders were convinced by the wife to buy it because it looked cool. Everyone who has them, both women and men, hate them.
You can wash a folded handkerchief in with the other clothes and, at the end of the cycle, the handkerchief is still folded.

I still use the old 20 year old reliable top loader XL Kenmore and have only changed out the dogs on the agitator as far as any maintenance.
