As far as I can tell, most of there early appliance failure issues can be avoided by not buying Samsung or LG appliances.
29 year old washer died

OUR LG has what is called "Deep Wash" My wife and I use that setting all the time. I believe (EPA) regulations (?) require that the "Normal" setting use as little water as possible and it barely covers the clothes. I have heard complaints (family members) that the new washers do not clean as well (all brands)
So our "standard" setting that we use ALL the time is "Deep Wash". We never use "Normal" The top loader washer fills up all the way over the clothes and washers like washing machines used to wash when using Deep Wash. At the same time, it knows when the water level is nicely above the clothes. So even if you are doing a small load it will adjust to that. Somehow it fills just right over the clothes where plenty of water sloshes around. Our washer has a glass top to its easy to see. {purchased in 2022)
You can't open the lids anymore. They lock. Why you ask ???? So you're dog don't jump in, I dunno...No. The deep fill goes by weight of the load. Fancy, all this computerized washing machine nonsense, until the computers crap out out..LOL....I can look thru the lid and see that it most surely does not deep fill,,,, unless you have a big load of clothes in it. So, it's really not a lie. Just saving water. More soap in the clothes if you ask me. GIMME MY DEEP FILL !!!!!!!!!

Just this morning, I saw an ad on TV for LG appliances and it said that LG was the most reliable appliance manufacturer in the industry.
I got a big laugh out of that because I know better. I posted on this site awhile back about my SIL buying a $3K LG 'fridge and it died after 53 weeks with no factory warranty help on it whatsoever.
ALL appliances are junk, except the top tier chef type ones or restaurant ones. There all the same, just different names. I have Maytag washer and dryer. I service them. EVERYTHING behind those panels is Whirlpool. I have a GE dishwasher. Motherboard died. Guess what the OE replacement was.....WHIRLPOOL.........So yeah, go look at all the different names and prices. Behind all the panels will be Whirlpool. Be it a stove, a dishwasher, a washing machine, whatever. It's all the same junk, just re-branded. The average consumer gets garbage. You want something good ? Go to a fancy restaurant and write down what they are using. Hope you got a lot of $$$$$$....

The lock lid on this new machine is very short duration. At end of cycle it lasts about 10-15 seconds. Washed a load of towels yesterday, The towels smelled fresher than in recent memory after washing. Cycles without x-tra spins or rinses are still 45 minutes in length. The new washer is nice and has meet my expectations. BTW my old White/Westinghouse c. 1996 had a lock feature during spin cycles. The end of load load lock was several minutes.
If the machine says use " AFFRESH" in it, use it. Trust me. It destroys mold and mineral buildup in the machine. I didn't believe it at first, but it makes a difference. My old 2007 GE washer lasted 15 years,and I beat the crap out of that machine. NEVER had a breakdown.. They don't make stuff to last anymore. 5-6 yrs and there done nowadays. Planned absolescence
You don’t mention what brand you have
Our LG deep wash certainly fills the tub up with plenty of water, completely immersing all the clothes in it
