But people with the right skill are less

Install the seal looks like a simple task, but in actual, it is not.
Soda are rubber's primary enemy

Yup, the faster bracing kong also need 7-8 years
While FL's door seal leak can be as fast as 3 years
Now I still looking for detergent that does not have soda inside, then I'll buy the FL

Unlucky or because quality issue?
For me, it is the later.

FL won't wash cleaner than TL, that's just a myth. If a FL states 6kg, the max load you can put is 3kg, nothing more than that. This is how I trash the Samseng's FL in Qatar. Not to mention the rubber seal does not like soda. Now i still looking for detergent that not using soda.
Also, FL's working principle are against Newton's Law, so will it last long like a TL is questionable. Some boasting it can last long(1 week wash once with minimum load) but I tested it is not reliable at all.
The vibration are freaking high when the load is higher, the max distance the WM travel was 2cm from its original location.
As for TL, if you are buying old school design, it is using belt, so motor and drum are separated. And most of the time, is not the motor failed but more on the belt. Change the belt and you are good to go.

Well, I have a 20 years old WM in my old house
But we only use it once a year

I'm given a chance to use Kimchi brand to change my perception, but then it proved to me that, don't jump ship

You need to believe me also, Samseng FL are giving this result on my comforter

Panasonic or Toshiba

You may say Toshiba don't have the brain to make FL if this can makes you happy
I see it this way : they know all the flaws on FL and to keep their head ache less, they don't make any.

Apply some heat using hair dryer

Basically you shall be looking for detergents that does not use soda.

The steam generated by WM are not hot enough to kill gems

Getting front loader for rm2k is like throwing a stone in a pond

Is a fact that you always try to deny

If you want less problem, any FL you shall not consider. Quotes from most people in Qatar(my friends) that are using Samseng 6.5KG FL. Internal rust on the door seal causing leakage and high vibration after 2-3 years of usage.

Yup, forgot that your model does not use rubber seal
My bad, I assume it is using metal as seal

Yup, you are right, that's why I still looking for detergent that does not use soda.

Wet weight means the actual capacity are lower.
Get Toshiba, they can do what rated for. Samseng can't do what is rated.

You can check the power consumption from the WM.
Inverter air cond do help, but not other appliances.

Panasonic and Toshiba.

Low, low low or low low low suds won't protect the washing machine, you need to get a detergent that does not use soda.
That's the only detergent are front loader friendly.
