LG Refrigerators Reviews

We use a lot of ice and the ice maker keeps freezing up and stops working. It is a real pain when you have company. Would not buy another one for that reason. Also it scratches very easy and hard to keep polished!

Most of my family has LG refrigerators. We also enjoy the style that LG has that was why we went with them. We like the whole line, so we got the stove, microwave, fridge, and dishwasher. I like the fridge's French doors and the way they open up to allow us to access the extra-wide fridge without swinging the door all the way open. Also, it doesn’t take up so much room in the kitchen. LG did a phenomenal job, but I had some issues with the black stainless flaking off. A rep came out to replace the doors, and that was phenomenal. But when they replaced the doors, one side doesn’t shut on its own anymore unless I slam it. I’ve tried calling them back a number of times, but there was no response. That part was disappointing, but the product overall, when it’s set and adjusted right, is phenomenal.

Yesterday I stepped into a puddle of water at 5:00 am, thinking it was my puppy that had an accident. I turned on the light to find that my refrigerator had stopped working, and I had a lot of water all over the floor. It is a 2 year old refrigerator, and never expected this kind of trouble with a newer and expensive unit. Either way, dealing with LG, has been a nightmare!! Nothing but excuses, as to why they can’t come out to repair it!!! We not only don’t have a working fridge, but also keep dealing with inept employees that are useless, and scrambling to salvage our groceries!!! Even after an appointment gets scheduled, some other repair place, calls and reschedules it. We will never buy another LG product, this is terrible customer service!!!!

We purchased an LG refrigerator model # LFXS29766s and an LG double oven stove on 9/3/2016 after the salesperson raved about the quality and reliability of LG’s appliances. On the evening of 8/22/2019 the refrigerator failed (just shy of the 3 year mark). The freezer started to defrost and the ice makers stopped working.

We bought ALL LG appliances 3 yrs. ago, including their French door-in-door refrigerator. We’ve been without that fridge for THREE WEEKS now!! LG’s customer svc. is shameful. They think 3 wks isn’t unreasonable to live without a fridge. It took 2 wks & dozens of phone calls, hanging on hold for over 10 mins. to even get an LG certified tech assigned to our case. Took another week for THEIR certified tech to receive the new compressor from LG parts. (LG refuses to expedite shipping even when we offered to pay for it). He came, installed the new one & it’s STILL doesn’t work!!!!

LG is supposed to be one of the top-rated for reliability but I'm disappointed that after two years, I started having problems with my LG refrigerator. I didn’t expect that. It just stopped working and the lead time for getting somebody in here to repair it was ridiculous. I had to do three repair jobs which took about two months. It would work off and on so the food would get all defrosted and I'd throw stuff out. I'd reset it and the fridge would work for a little while then the same thing would happen.

I had a Samsung refrigerator and it last two years. I went through hell with Samsung because it was still under warranty and it took me three months to get that resolved. Then I bought this LG refrigerator and the compressor failed in it. But I called LG and it was handled the best way it could’ve been handled. I was very impressed. And service tech came out and fixed it. He was very professional and very good. He put a new compressor in it and the difference is night and day. The refrigerator has been running great since then and they got a loyal LG customer now because of the way they handled the whole situation. They backed the product, so I don’t have a problem and I’ll buy another one. My wife even told me that I had to talk to somebody and tell them how the experience was and how well it was handled.

I complained to LG customer service about overcooling issue. My tomato will turn into stone, leafy vegetables get spoiled with ice crystals forming on them. So far, I must have thrown vegetables worth $600 plus. My refrigerator was under warranty. Technician would check and confirm everything is working fine, no root cause analysis. After 2 visits, I demanded to have new technician, who said air flow tower needs replacement. After replacement, unit worked for few weeks and again same problem started happening.

We bought our refrigerator 11/26/2017 and it has already quit cooling. We noticed the freezer items were not frozen and had to throw all the food away. We had a repair guy come out who stated the sealant system is leaking and our quote was 2600$ to repair, which is double the cost of the refrigerator new. I called LG back and it was determined that the parts would be covered but not the labor which was $250 and hour for up to 8 hours. Our refrigerator is not even 2 years old! I will never buy any LG product again.

We bought a new LG side-by-side refrigerator less than 4 years ago. The unit has stopped cooling and the LG "warranty" repair is going to cost me at least $325. I will never buy another LG product or recommend one.

WE bought an LG fridge about 3 years ago. It was pretty expensive so I assumed I would get quite a bit of life out of it. Well the compressor just went out and while looking up warranty it looks like my model only has a 1 year parts warranty. Had I known that I would have probably not bought LG. It looks like the compressor is almost 300 dollars and who knows how much the labor is going to cost. I'm may be better off just buying a new fridge. It makes me sick to my stomach to pay almost 3000 dollars for a fridge and only be able to get 3 years out of it.

I’d seen the LG refrigerator in the store and thought it was the perfect size. I also liked that the ice maker was in the door and not taking up space inside the refrigerator. So, I bought it. But it just stopped cooling and they sent out a tech about six times to fix it. They ordered all of the parts, repaired all of the parts, and it still wasn’t fixed. This issue has been going on for four months and now, they’re refunding me my check. I called yesterday checking on the status of it and they said it’s with claims. So I should receive my refund next week. All in all, I would not recommend this refrigerator.

This is my first purchase of an LG refrigerator, and while the reviews were good, my experience has been less than stellar. The refrigerator is less than 3 years old and makes horrible noise when the doors are closed. Last year, I had to pay a professional service person close to $300 to come de-ice the refrigerator and am now faced with the same scenario. LG customer service is no help saying to make sure the refrigerator is level and to call a repair person. I have had several refrigerators ranging from Westinghouse to KitchenAid and never had issues. I am very unhappy and would not recommend purchasing an LG refrigerator.

I bought my refrigerator on 3/1/2016. On 8/4/2019 the compressor goes out and I lost close to 1000$ of food. I called LG and they sent out A&E Factory service, which for one is a terrible repair service, and also sent a new compressor. A&E replace the compressor and left. The fridge then cooled for about 3 hours and then stopped. So then I called LG and they sent out another guy another week later and they said that the refrigerant had leaked out and they had no idea why. So they ordered three more parts and they came in and then another week later another repair guy came out to replace those. Oh, it was the same guy that replaced the compressor, and after that he left and said give it 24 hours, but after 3 hours it again stopped cooling. It has been three weeks since I've been without a refrigerator now and I called again on 8/25/2019 and they still will not be able to get another person out here for another week and a half.

LG has a good product and they have a good reputation, so I went with them. I had a talk with them regarding the compressor which was bad and the fluid which was leaking. I was without a refrigerator for three weeks and I told them that when I bought it, I had the same issue. When their people came, they changed the compressor and it was fine. But then, the technician told me when they came out for the third time that even if they change the fluid, they cannot guarantee that the refrigerator will work. It might work for a year, it might go bad in one week. But overall, everything is fine and I had a good experience with LG. Still, if the refrigerator goes bad again, I want LG to replace it for me.

I saw the LG refrigerator on the store and it was a good size for this particular model. My parents have LG as well. So, I ordered it online and so far, I like the size of it. It has two different store options, but it’s a big room. Also, I don't like the smart inverter technology that it has. It turns off a lot more than it’s supposed to, so the temperature goes up and the cycling of the temperature is probably more than it’s supposed to. The refrigerator goes warm inside and the cooling kind of cycles on and off to save energy. But then, it goes too warm before it cuts off to go back to cold.

Updated on 10/01/2019: My problems are numerous but listed on this site. The customer service at LGs 800 # are inept at best. I have been lied to for over 65 days, the right thing for LG to have done is picked up this piece of scrap and either replaced it or given us our money back. I will NEVER recommend LG anywhere or at any time (which sucks for them because I work where we sell theirs and others). Stop lying to your customers, stop treating us 3rd class. Learn how to manage your service center, make a better product and respect us the ones who spend thousands of $ on your product, which is junk. I'm only sorry there isn't a zero star rating. Try calling me...Gary **.

We saw the LG refrigerator in the store and we were interested in it. It has the French door and the under freezer, and we had a normal purchasing experience when we got it. It's been working well so far but we had to have some work done on it because the compressor failed. They fixed it under warranty though.

My 22-month old LG refrigerator has experienced TOTAL failure - both refrigerator and freezer sections. That was 10 days ago. I have spent hours on the phone with customer service. I had purchased the 5-year extended warranty. No repairman has come. I waited two days for repairmen to come. None have come. I have not received an calls from technician or from LG customer service. I have made all calls and been on hold for hours over these past 10 days. Also, when I call 1-800-243-0000, I reached multiple service technicians that I could not understand. I am beyond frustrated and angry! To have NO refrigerator for 10 days is unacceptable! I would not recommend LG! Debbie ** Sarasota, FL

I have to defrost my LG refrigerator about every 4-6 months due to ice build up behind the meat tray around the vents. This time the ice has built up to the vegetables drawers. How can I remedy this problem with my LG refrigerator? This is the only complaint I have about this refrigerator and I hate having to do this every 4-6 months. If I could send you pictures I would.

We were building a new house and when we were asking around for recommendations on refrigerators, LG was the brand people were recommending. We did have a washer and dryer that was LG, and we had a good experience with those. The refrigerator came with a counter depth feature. We had an awkward space we had to fit it into and I liked that it fit there and I haven't had to worry about it. I had to make two warranty claims and both times, it was pretty easy to go through that process. I appreciated the service people that came and worked on the appliances 'cause they were professional and did a good job. I also didn't have to wait a super long time for somebody to come and help out. I would recommend LG.

We bought a home with an LG French door freezer on bottom refrigerator. The compressor failed suddenly, we lost all of our food. I’ve since learned from other stories that LG compressors are not reliable. When I called LG, I was told that because we did not know when the unit was purchased, they would only honor their seven year sealed system repair warranty from the date of manufacture, which was (drumrolls) seven years and three months ago. Despite the fact that the refrigerator was very likely purchased less than seven years ago, they would not pay for the repair. We decided not to go forward with the repair, as I am uninterested in paying for repairs to a shoddy product. We bought a new refrigerator, naturally not an LG. We won’t be considering any LG products in the future, as any company that would cut corners with a central element of their product, and then treat customers in such a rigid, bureaucratic manner is not to trusted.

My wife liked what she saw in the LG refrigerator so I bought one. But the drawers and the shelves are cheaply made. I've had to replace the drawers in the freezer compartment and the glides on the shelf glide in the upper part of the refrigerator. Those parts are flimsy. But we bought the refrigerator 10 years ago and the refrigerator part of it is working fine. That was until the light stayed on and burned itself up but maybe LG will fix that for nothing.

I have a 3 year old top of the line $3,000 LG Refrigerator. Came home to water all over the floor and the fridge stopped working. Called Orvilles & they sent out a repairman who does not work on LG Refrigerators & said I needed a new condenser. I have made 5 phone calls to the warranty department and 8 phone calls to LG customer service repair. LG can't find anyone to replace the condenser. I live near 2 major cities and no one can fix it for 3 weeks??? Is this their first rodeo with a broken condenser?

When we decided to buy an LG refrigerator, we considered the options they had and the style. We looked at other brands before we decided on this one too. Anyway, I like the French door, however we're not very happy with the appliance because it's only been three years and it's not cooling. There was something going on about the compressor having problems with this particular model that we bought, but the problem we had was a leak on the evap. coil. We called LG directly and they sent someone out to fix it, which is good. The contractor was good and they fixed the problem.

I’ve dealt with LG stuff through the years and the products that I’ve gotten seemed to work very well. Aside from TVs and others, being in the elevator business, I have bought and installed LG elevators, which were good quality products. We got an LG refrigerator and it works well. It keeps the food cool. And when it’s working right, it keeps the ice cream hard, and I like that. I was just having an issue with the food getting warm. Their technician came out within a day and a half and fixed it, but didn’t get it right on the first time.

LG stainless steel fridge extremely discolored. Warranty representative said cosmetic issues are only covered for seven days. When I asked her to show me where this was in warranty she referred to a section regarding damage during delivery. I explained that it was fine when it was delivered and that the discoloration came over time. She kept referring to the same clause about delivery damage and then 30 minutes into the phone call said warranty doesn’t cover it because it must be a maintenance issue. She had not asked me one question regarding how I had cleaned or maintained the refrigerator. And refused to send a technician out to inspect it.

My refrigerator is less than 4 year old and has stopped cooling. It is either a loss of coolant or a failed compressor, both of which are still in warranty. They scheduled a tech to investigate the problem the following day. This appointment was canceled by LG's automated system after the scheduled time for the visit with a statement that they would schedule something within 3 to 5 business days. I called LG to express my pleasure at the level of their customer service and was told that the repair will probably take somewhere between 5 and 7 days IF the parts are available. In the meantime, I am without a refrigerator.

The fridge broke after 3 yrs. Was told by repair guy that LP fridge not made for a "modern" kitchen where it is "built-in". It needs more space to cool. Unbelievable!!! A fridge for $2600. After compressor and condenser were replaced ($250 for labor, part under warranty) one of the two items give away a low but high pitch noise. Disturbing!! The repair guy told me to contact him if I wasn't satisfied with the repair. I called and texted. No Response!! I haven't called it in yet. Will do that but I feel I might just have to bit the bullet and invest in a new fridge (never LG again). A shame!!!

Service call placed for non-working refrigerator; three service appts scheduled, each one canceled without any explanation. Been waiting since August 10 and no one can tell me when it will be fixed. Trying to live out of ice coolers - I have called the company a dozen times and keep getting referred to someone else. Service appt gets scheduled, I receive a confirming email, then no one shows up. I spent good money on this refrigerator and extended warranty.

I've heard the compressor failure is a mass issue with LG refrigerators, but what is worse is the time I have to be without a refrigerator. Mine died under warranty on August 1st. Today (8-19-2019) was the 1st service appointment LG had available which is two and a half weeks after calling LG. One would think that with this being a very common issue, the repair person would already have a compressor with him. No that would be too logical. He left today and now we have another appointment to actually fix it on 9/6/19. No loaner, no anything, but just them saying that's the best they can do. That is very poor customer service. It's really hard with kids and summer to be refrigerator-less for 37 days. This is really unreasonable, but we have no reasonable alternative. Other than this MAJOR issue, I loved the refrigerator.

I liked my LG refrigerator when I bought it about three years ago, but its compressor went out, and I wasn't very happy with it a few weeks ago. I love the refrigerator, the way it operates as well as the shelving, and it's easy to take care of. But then I noticed my freezer things were getting a little mushy soft in the freezer. A few days later, my son came over and we went through the directions on how to restart it. You pull the plug and let it rest, which we did, and we adjusted some other things. But when I got up the next morning, my whole kitchen floor was full of water. So, he said the compressor went out on it. LG then came out here and put a new compressor in. They also sent me a check for the food that I lost, which I did lose a lot. I appreciate that I didn't have to put any money out, but it was very frustrating. A refrigerator should last longer than three years.

I’ve dealt with many terrible companies in my time but never one as bad as LG. I bought a refrigerator with an extended warranty and the compressor (main component) died on me within that time period. Called LG to help. A very friendly agent set up an appointment with me with a company based in NJ called “Rising”. No sooner did I hang up did Rising call me back to tell me they do not service my area and they have to cancel my appointment. This is when the real trouble happened.

Updated on 08/30/2019: The leaked water ruined the chill drawer electrics. it is not covered under warranty anymore. I did talk to LG and they agreed to send me a new "face" for the drawer. Then the tech tells they charge $300 to install it. With LG the hits just keep on coming. Since the tech left yesterday the fridge is at 45 degrees and the freezer is at 20 degrees F. Maybe it will get better later? Consumers deserve better than this.

The good part about LG is that they do try to present a customer service initiative to folks who post on social media. Sadly, it is a hollow effort. As anyone can read on this site, the response is either a really poor AI or worse, a person who types the same thing. Buying a $2,000+ refrigerator that makes excessive noise is unarguably a significant issue. LG claims this noise is 'normal', and I dispute that. Compressor noise that can be heard in other rooms is not normal.

I had heard that LG products were reliable and we considered that when we bought our black stainless fridge and we’re really happy with that color. We used that for the other appliances that we have so it’s kind of a styling issue for us.

LG rating for refrigerator is a disaster. We bought this refrigerator in 5/17/2015. We were told that the compressor had a warranty of 10 years and the condenser warranty of 7 years. We have had two failures in the compressor in 2018 June and now in August 2019. We have had refrigerators (from GE 20 years, Kenmore 12 years) for 32 years from 1981-2015 but never had a failure of the compressor in the entire period. The last refrigerator from LG had two failures of the compressor in 4 + years. The first technician J and Lee said that he changed the compressor.

Updated on 08/21/2019: This is an update to my previous post about my 3 year old LG refrigerator. LG tech was great but could not fix my refrigerator. He replaced the compressor and left saying it will take some time to cool. The next day it was hotter than before inside. I called him and he came back next day to find a clog and a broken pipe. He had me send the original receipt. He submitted it to deem the fridge unable to be fixed and needing replacement.

My LG fridge isn't even 3 years old. The compressor has gone out 2 times. Not even a month between breaking twice. The matching stove broke 2 days between each other. I will never buy LG again or if their parts are used in another brand. I'll make sure to do my research on my next purchase. Hundreds of dollars lost in food each time. This is ridiculous! LG should be offering consumers their money back. I don't want a fridge that will keep breaking. I want to buy from another company but unfortunately I live paycheck to paycheck and had to save for this garbage.

We were at ABC Warehouse and they had a good sale going. We needed a refrigerator and got one. We had our LG refrigerator for a couple of years but I can't believe they would build something that turns out to be unrepairable for something as simple as an ice maker. You gotta turn it in and can't repair it. It had something to do on the inside of the refrigerator that was causing the ice maker not to work, and you couldn’t get to it as it was sealed.

On September 7th, 2018, Home Depot Canada delivered an LG LFXC24726S refrigerator I had purchased on August 30th. I had researched refrigerators prior to going to Home Depot and relied on the salesman’s recommendation for either the LG or Samsung 3 door French style with external water and ice. Periodically during the first 9 months the defrost cycle seemed to run too long and things would be warm in both the refrigerator and freezer. On July 28th the unit stopped cooling completely. 4 hours later it started cooling again. Late afternoon on July 29th it stopped cooling again and I lost the contents of the refrigerator and the freezer that night.

We had an LG washer and dryer and when we were shopping, we liked the brand. I like the refrigerators space, and the reflector under the French doors. But we had to have the compressor replaced twice in like three and a half years. The refrigerator seems to be okay now though. The tech said that when I got the first one replaced, they haven’t actually solved the issue with the compressor yet. He said that now, it has been updated and it should be fine.

We’ve had some LG refrigerators in the past and my wife liked the looks it. She wanted to have the water and ice cube through the door that accessible ‘cause we had that on our refrigerator before. I like the French doors on the one we bought and the door within the door. We had it delivered then there was an installation issue and we had LG come out and fix it. It was just a matter of not getting the refrigerator fully plugged in 100% when they removed the door to get it through the doorway.

After 4 years of no issues with our LG refrigerator, it died one day after we hosted our daughter's bridal shower. Needless to say, we lost all the food. Called a repairman, came out and informed us it was the compressor and it was under warranty. He also warned us that LG has been having issues with the compressors. We called LG and they told us that their repair service (through A&E) couldn't come out until 2 weeks later. I waited ALL day and no one ever came. We received a call and email to call back the next day to reschedule. Naturally I assumed they would come asap. Well to my dismay, they couldn't come out until 2 WEEKS later. Are you kidding me!! We had been without a fridge all this time and they expect you to wait even longer and it's their negligence! We were so frustrated and disgusted we just gave up and bought a new refrigerator, a Frigidaire, since it seems price doesn't guarantee it will last!

After reading many customer reviews I have to chime in. We bought an LG refrigerator 10 months ago. The compressor went out had to wait two weeks for the technician to come out to tell me the compressor was out. I told them when I called, when the technician comes out have him bring a new compressor. No they have to diagnose the problem first. All you have to do is read every review out there and you will know the compressor is the problem. Which brings me to today, yesterday the technician from A&E came out to put in the compressor that was sent to my house. We went to my grandson's birthday party only to come home and find my refrigerator warmer on the inside than I was on the outside. Living without a refrigerator is a nightmare, and then not knowing if it will work after the repair is even worse. So here we sit with a large paper weight in our kitchen!!!

I purchased a LG refrigerator 4 years ago. Besides the fact it takes 2-3 weeks to get an authorized service call (not after a major catastrophe or storm, just in general), it's going to take another 2-3 weeks to replace the compressor. The part is covered under LG's 5 year warranty, but the labor is roughly $600-800!! That's outrageous for a 4 year old refrigerator that's supposed to last 14 years. I will NEVER buy another LG appliance again.

We are an LG household. Washer, dryer, and refrigerators. Our main kitchen refrigerator, a 2016 model, stopped working in July 2019. First failure. LG send out their authorized repair technician who came and changed the compressor. It worked for about 2 weeks and died. That was the second failure. LG sent out another technician who said the previous technician had done an incomplete repair, he said he completed it, and left. The refrigerator worked for a few more days, then died again.

I’ve heard about LG for some years and I opted for their refrigerator as it seemed to have the layout functions that I wanted. I like that it works.

While cleaning my LG’s glass shelf with cool water and detergent it exploded into hundreds of small shards of glass that flew up to 10 feet. It was alarming but I think I was most distressed that when I called LG they did not seemed concerned about the safety implications. I have several LG appliances but I will never purchase another. If you have an LG refrigerator and clean the glass make sure you use safety goggles and keep your children out of the kitchen.

This is the worst refrigerator I have ever had. Customer service is also awful. I would have given this product zero stars if possible. After owning this refrigerator 7 months the ice maker in the top froze and was leaking water. The water was leaking on the floor and also into the bottom freezer. LG solution was to send someone to repair it. So we have had the same problem and it has been repaired at least 8 times. The last technician told me to disconnect the top ice maker when I told him I can’t even put new floor in my kitchen because my floor will be ruined by this refrigerator. Worst refrigerator and customer service ever. I will NEVER purchase an LG product again. This is a very common problem with this refrigerator. The model is LFXS29626W.

Updated on 09/03/2019: Please read and adhere to my review. I have had a technician out now 4 times. They finally decided to replace the compressor. When they did and left, they installed a faulty compressor that made my fridge actually heat up to 85 degrees. I called them and they came out last Friday and said yes, second compressor was bad. So I called today to ask where we go now, their response..."We need to send out a technician to verify that the compressor is bad." I said, "You came last Friday." LG said, "Well he didn’t call us to report it so we need to send him out again and call us when he’s in front of the fridge." Mind you it’s been the same tech all 4 times and they want me to schedule him again, which takes 10 days wait every time. Please read the reviews and see how bad they are. I’m disgusted with this company.

I purchased an LG refrigerator on June 4, 2019. LG delivered the refrigerator a few weeks later and unfortunately, it was severely damaged when it arrived at my residence. The delivery company returned the damaged unit and delivered another refrigerator a week later. The 2nd refrigerator's left door contained the water and ice dispenser of which neither worked. I spoke with LG customer service and they indicated that a local repair company would come out and assess the issue. National Platinum Services was the local company and it took them two weeks to show up and when they did, they were not able to diagnose the problem. There has been no follow up since they left so currently I am still waiting on how this situation is going to be resolved. Bottom line is that LG doesn't seem to value good customer service so in the future I will look elsewhere when shopping for any product that they may market to the public.

My wife did the selection of our refrigerator and she dealt with our son. And they settled on the idea of getting the LG refrigerator. It’s a combination of a refrigerator and a freezer. I really liked that our LG refrigerator keeps things cold.

My husband, who does all the research, said that LG was a good brand, and so we got their refrigerator. We like the double doors and the ice machine on it. However, within two hours after it was opened up, we got an error message. LG replaced it, so we ended up getting a second refrigerator.

On July 17, 2017, I purchased a Sears Kenmore Elite side-by-side, Grab and Go, stainless steel, refrigerator/freezer model 51863. I found when shopping for the fridge, that LG made this model for Sears. So at that time, I thought it was a good thing. Around the first of August, 2019 (approx. 1 month outside of 2 years of my purchase, I noticed swirls of cold air in my freezer. I also remember hearing strange loud noises coming from the unit one night. A few days later I noticed frost followed a few days later by water in the freezer. The freezer was not freezing and was warm. I decided to research the problem online and did find that this product and LG fridges had problems with their compressors.

I bought an LG refrigerator in Sept 2016, it failed April 2019. I have been without a working refrigerator for over 4 months. They have attempted to replace the compressor 3 times, 2 of these times they also replaced the motherboard, each time it's failed. LG told me that they would attempt to repair 3 times before a replacement would be issued. On the day of the 3rd failed attempt I called and was told that they were submitting the approval for a replacement. After not hearing back I called and I'm now being told that each of those repairs fell into the same type of repair and that they will be sending a technician to try something different.

I purchased an LG after reviewing them on Consumer Reports and other websites. I purchased mine from Lowe's in June 2016 but it was not installed until August 2018 due to the delay of my home construction completion. So in service less than 1 year and no longer will cool or freeze as of 8-1-19. After a little research I discovered that the Linear Compressor failure is a COMMON problem with LG. NOTE LG at the time of my purchase had a 5 year warranty on this unit from the purchase date, I believe it is now a 10 year warranty. I called customer service on 8-2-19 to report problem. I was told I would be contacted by an authorized service center within 48 hours. NO CONTACT. ON 8-4-19 got a call from LG indicating I would be provided free service & repair for the cooling issue and would receive a call from an authorized service center with 48 hours (ANOTHER 48 hours with no frig/freezer).

I like how much room my LG refrigerator has inside, and the way it has a double door. I like that feature a lot. Only, the appliance didn't work right when I first got it. It was not making ice cubes for a long time. And so, I finally called LG, and it ended up that my condenser was bad. They replaced it even though it was over five years old, without charging me, which was really great. I appreciate that. They did a great job.

I purchased my LG refrigerator in 2013, 4 1/2 years later the compressor goes out. With the 10 year warranty still on it, I contacted LG. Dealing with their customer service department was a nightmare. To begin with, they had no service technicians in my area, then they give me three authorized service companies to call, all were either wrong numbers or they don't work on LG appliances anymore. LG had service technicians but had none a available. So what's the purpose of a warranty if you can't honor it?

Fridge stopped cooling so we called LG on July 23. They made an appt for their service contractor Lake Appliance on Friday July 26. I called Lake to inquire if they had parts and they said they have typical parts on the truck. When they arrived, Lake's service technician checked and confirmed it wasn't working, and that they needed a part which wouldn't be there until the following Friday Aug 2. On Aug 2 he installed the part and did some other work to clear out the cooling system, but 24 hrs later it was not cooling at all. Room temperature. He said that they would need to get a new evaporator coil which would take a week, so we would need to wait until Monday Aug 12. I called Lake to see what could be done, they said there was nothing they could do -- they need the part and to get the technician scheduled.

I bought an LG refrigerator and it went up in less than 18 months. I called LG and they set up an appointment through Heavenly Cool in Parkville. LG said they would be there Monday August 12th 2019 between 9-5pm. They never called or showed up. I'll never buy another LG product again.

I purchased this refrigerator on 12/07/2018. From day one the ice maker did not work. Upon contact with LG they scheduled repair. First company failed to show twice. Ice make replaced twice. No fix. Then they required a second company to come. Again ice make replaced along with hoses and finally they sent a brand new door. Still the ice maker does not work. Today This repair company contacted the technical center to disclose it was not repairable. Tenth appointment. It is now August 12th, 2019 and I do not have this problem repaired. Beyond frustrated. You do not spend this type of money to have something not function. I would love to understand how this is good customer service.

For more than a week, the LG customer service representatives have repeatedly made mistakes in a simple request form for an authorization to ship a compressor that was under warranty. As a result, a wedding party is arriving and there will not be a working refrigerator. From failing to get my name and address, to failing to get the address of the service technician correctly (they got that wrong twice), and, finally, when they finally did send out the authorization form it was incorrect, it had the wrong technician's name and address. I called yet again, this was after a full week had gone by, to alert them yet again. They said they had fixed it, emailed a second authorization letter, which did arrive. But it also had the wrong technician's name and address. So I had to call yet again.

LG took care of the issue regarding the failing stainless steel control panel by replacing the part. The independent repair company (who did an excellent job resolving matters) could not say why the panels stainless surface faded, however did confirm the issue was not caused by customer abuse or ill-care of the surface. In the end, LG should reconsider their policy of not covering cosmetic issues within their warranty coverage. By training and authorizing their call center to escalate such claims to a supervisor to properly determine if the problem is truly and potentially a factory matter or one of customer abuse. We are pleased with the end result of the repair, yet found having to fight for what we knew was right an event that did not need to occur. We also thank ConsumerAffairs for their forum and help in bringing this matter to a proper conclusion.

I felt really good about LG Refrigerators until mine had an issue. It really was not an issue at all, but the company that they sent to check it out made it into a big issue. I had called and said, "My freezer was frosted over. Did I just not got it shut good or is there something wrong?" There was also a shelf that had a crack. They would need to come out and fix that. And they said they'd take a look at it when they come out. So, the guy came out and fixed the other things, and then he said there were two fans for the freezer and one of them was only working part of the time. He also said he was gonna have to order another fan. And he scheduled to be back out the following Sunday to replace that.

We were building a new house and were looking for appliance packages. We really liked the appliance package and LG refrigerator because it had this cute little window in the door. It was a good price as well, and we liked the refrigerator's features. The little window in the door is my favorite. The refrigerator has French doors and I can open just that part, like a little window door, of the top door and keep stuff in there. We had some issues, though, with the water dispenser on the front of it. The repairman called it a continuous water feature. It wouldn’t shut off when you press your water on it. It kept going on with water or ice until you locked it. So we had to have it repaired probably within the first month we had the refrigerator. But since then, it has worked fine. I’m pretty happy with my LG refrigerator.

We saw LG Refrigerators at the store and we liked the style and the features. I’ve had the refrigerator for two years and the middle door is my favorite where you can put in yogurt and some other stuff. I also like the milk side doors, as far as putting the milk cartons in. It’s pretty big to put that in. We just had a recent repair on the LG and they replaced the condenser because it failed but other than that, it has been pretty good.

I was looking for a side-by-side refrigerator and most of the manufacturers don’t have the side-by-side still but LG did. The unit also fit where my older refrigerator was perfectly and we got a great deal online from Costco. We figured we’d try it. The space that the refrigerator has is awesome. It has plenty of space and it’s great to have that space. We have 12 grandkids and three kids, and everybody’s always here so my refrigerator fills up fast. It’s been the best refrigerator until we had problems.

We just purchased this home and the refrigerator died. It wasn’t covered under our home warranty so we reached out to LG to see if there might have been an extended warranty. We weren't sure when it was purchased so we just doublechecked. They were excellent and we couldn’t believe it. They sent somebody out the very next day. The refrigerator was out of warranty but they said they were going to do a one-time courtesy fix, free of charge, labor and parts. Maybe just because when I googled it, they seemed to have a bad rap and maybe they’re trying to fix things. But they put in a new compressor and the gentleman was wonderful. He stayed around to test it and it’s working great. I assumed they would try to sell us something like an extended warranty but there was no mention of that either. We’ve just had it for a few months and it seems to be fine so we love it.

Class action lawsuit against them for the refrigerators!!! I had them send a company out and the gentlemen came out 5 times to "repair" it. It worked for a month and I then lost all my food a second time. I was told they would have a manager call me about the reimbursement and never got a call, just a check. The check wasn't close to what I lost and now it's still not fixed and lost a second round of food. When I called them today they said they could do nothing for me losing food again, like it's my fault the company they sent didn't do it right!!! Megan (supposedly the manager) was terrible with "helping". I have now called the lawyers to jump on this lawsuit. All this could have been avoided if they would've done it right and said they would help with my food loss again. NEVER WILL I BUY LG AGAIN!!!! GARBAGE APPLIANCES AND CUSTOMER SERVICE.

I was told by a repairman about two refrigerator brands to buy, saying they have less returns and less repairs. And so, I went with the LG. The refrigerator looks really nice and I was happy with it, but it wasn’t even two years old and it broke twice. I’m very dissatisfied with it. It quit getting cold, and ruined my groceries twice. When it started ruining my food, I thought it was just the food. I didn’t notice it as it took a little while to warm up. And then come to find out it would start melting my ice cream. It was a little over a year when it first went out. I called Lowe’s, where I bought it, and then they turned anything to get it fixed. Then in less than three months, the refrigerator did it again. I called again, and then I had to wait quite some time for the parts to come in.

Bought LG LMXC23746S/00 around 4 years ago. Quite expensive, over $3500. The sealed compressor broke. This is what the technician said, "I wouldn't charge you $600 for the Freon if I know your fridge will get the same problem in 2 months." Another company won't even come out to service. This is what that company said: "Sorry, I don't provide this service. I suggest calling LG if under 5 years. If older replace unit. LG is known for sealed system issues. We no longer work on LG sealed system because of their known issues. We can't warranty something that we know doesn't last." Actually, 2 years after we got this fridge, the plastic shelf start to crack and some part broke up like crackers. Well, so much for a 4 years old LG fridge. I recommend to stay away from LG refrigerator.

LG has major problems with their compressors. Do not buy one. We have a 3 year old unit, it is a great design, but the compressor went on it the first time after 20 months (no warranty) and paid over $800 for a replacement which did not work. Got another one installed, then 8 months later it went again. This one is under warranty but we have been 4 weeks without it working. According to the service tech they replace at least 2 of these a day and cannot keep compressors in stock. We have lost all of our food inventory 3 times now because of it and are being told the new compressor they will install is essentially the same as the ones that have failed, it has not been fixed and will likely fail again. Do not buy this!! Not only is the appliance garbage LG customer service is impossible to work with and talk to anyone who can do anything about it. Horrible company.

Updated on 08/31/2019: So the saga continues. Bought the refrigerator in August 2016 and here in August 2019 it's not cooling. August 20th Tech came out after 2 weeks and ordered the parts. Next appointment August 28. New tech came out and they sent only 3 of the parts, no compressor. Was told that there is a new "Universal Compressor" by the original tech that replaces the faulty original compressor with a software update but that did not show up. So the tech got one of the "original" compressors from another guy's truck and went and picked it up. I was not happy and said I wanted the new one but that was all that was available. So he changed the compressor, condenser, dryer and some other part. I called LG and they said they would honor a ten year warranty.

Had refrigerator repaired and when home it makes a super annoying humming sound. Repair shop told me I needed to load it back up and bring it to their shop. Why... can they not send a person to my home. VERY INCONVENIENT ON MY PART. I work 2 jobs and is not easy to find the time. Please advise on this noisy irritating unit.

This problem dates back to April 2019. My 1 yr old LG Refrigerator stopped working so I called LG and they dispatched a Tech from A&E repair (Sears). The tech told me it was compressor and evaporator and would be about 1000 to fix. I told him I would contact LG as it should be under warranty. So he charge me 119 dollars and left. I called LG. They said it was in fact under warranty and shouldn't have been charged. They dispatched the same repair people 1 weeks later. So it now been 2wks. with no Refrigerator. Repair guy came and had to order the parts (why couldn’t he see the first guy's diagnostic).

I like everything about my refrigerator – the style and the features. It had everything that I wanted. That was why I bought it but I will never buy LG anything again. I took out a warranty and tried to deal with LG on that. They sent a service that they use for repair but I went through three months of a freezer and refrigerator that did not work with Jessup’s Major Appliance Centers in Sarasota, Florida. They put in three different compressors and none of them worked. LG knew that they had a problem with the compressors. The repairman had been trying to fix them all over the state of Florida.

When I shopped at Lowe’s for appliances, I heard about LG Refrigerators and I ended up selecting it. I’m not really happy with it. It wasn’t cooling and I lost all my food in the freezer. The technician came out and said that he fixed it but then, it got even worse. It went through a lot of repairs and a whole lot of different parts had to be ordered and replaced on it. There was a lot of technicians coming out here to fix it and delays with getting parts. So, it has not been a good experience for me. I’ve been talking to LG as well as the technician too. They had a contractor come out and he had to make two visits to get it repaired. Right now, it’s working, but I don’t know for how long. I haven’t even had it three years and this happened. I don’t think I’ll buy another LG refrigerator.

I upgraded kitchen appliances provided by my builder 4 years ago & thought I was purchasing quality along with customer service by purchasing the Sears Kenmore Elite manufactured by LG. In 2018, the compressor on the refrigerator went out and it took Sears almost two months to replace. In July, 2019 unit started getting hot; Sears repair service came out, worked from 7pm till 9:45 and said they repaired the unit but the next morning it was still not cooling or freezing. I've had multiple food loss with no customer satisfaction of reimbursement. I've called multiple appliance repair companies and all have said they choose not to service appliances MFG by LG because of poor workmanship! I am so disappointed because I've work too hard to just donate to a mega company's bottom line. At this point I can't recommend any LG product based on my experience. After writing this I'm still without refrigeration & no customer satisfaction!!!

My 3 door French refrigerator decided to stop working after 4 short years. When I moved into my brand new house 7 years ago I wanted to replace my builder grade appliances to new ones, big mistake. The GE refrigerator I gave away when my new LG arrived is still going strong and my LG isn't. I have insurance with a private company for all my appliances and air conditioner. I called them, they came and told me LG has nothing but problems. Bottom line they gave me some 4 oz of r143 with no guarantee it would last until the parts were ordered. The LG refrigerator needs entire sealed system compressor, start device for compressor, UV dryer condenser and evaporate coil, basically rebuilding it. I have been without a refrigerator for 2 weeks and won't have it for another week while waiting for the parts to come. I'm living with a refrigerator my son used when he was in college that holds just about nothing. No more LG for me.

Model number: LFX25974ST. After 3 years, main compartment no longer cools. Milk goes bad after 2 days. Called up LG and said appliance still under warranty so repair no cost to me. Technician diagnosed the damper motor is bad and LG does not cover this part, hell! They don't even manufacture them anymore so it can't be fixed! Now I have to throw the whole thing away! So frustrating! Never buy this piece of crap!

I bought this three years ago after doing a lot of research. I never thought I would need to buy more of a warranty for this unit. Two people and basic regular use it’s not working anymore. I lost all the food in my freezer and likely the fridge. I’ve checked under the unit and checked the coils and the fan is blowing and the air coming out is really not cold. My freezer is approx 40 degrees. Really sucks to spend so much and have nothing three years later. My last was an Amana and lasted a long time! So disappointed????

My wife is Korean and she likes Korean companies. We've had our LG refrigerator for almost three years now and I like that it’s spacious. We recently had some issues with the cooling where there was a refrigerant leak, and we had to get the compressor and condenser coil replaced. But it looks like it’s working okay now.

We were looking around and doing some research a few years ago when we bought our first LG fridge. And in that process, we found that we liked the design and the products that they offered. But our most recent refrigerator has been nothing but a nightmare. It keeps failing constantly. And now, LG’s saying they won’t replace it unless I have the original receipt. So now, we’re stuck with a broken refrigerator till I can potentially find a way to get a receipt. I’m extremely likely to go to a different competitor after this experience. We really enjoyed the product, and they were aesthetically pleasing, but a refrigerator’s supposed to refrigerate things.

We like our Energy Star LG Refrigerator. It lasted us almost five years, but it would break down a lot. That’s I guess the minimum time that they last.

We bought our LG french door refrigerator from Best Buy fall of 2016 to be installed in our new home in 2017 spring. Almost 1 year to the date of moving into the house we had our first complete meltdown. All of the food was defrosted and water was all over the floor. We called LG and a technician was sent out days later. They replaced the compressor and it worked for a few months. Then it happened again. We called the same technician and they fixed it again. Now it's noisy and worked until about a year after the first fix. Then it defrosted. Again same situation. This time it was 9 days before the technician arrived.

COMPRESSOR FAIL - MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I bought an overpriced LG refrigerator ($2500) in June, 2017 at Home Depot. It was broken by JULY 2019. Tough luck for me with no income and late stage cancer...it broke two weeks after the two year warranty expired. The part might be replaced by LG, but I am stuck with the cost and trouble of trying to find a knowledgeable technician. In my area (Raleigh) NO technician familiar with LG will work on them anymore because of these manufacturer defects! The LG rep set up an appointment with a technician - I had to wait over a week, AND they failed to show. I want to join the lawsuit. I get $12/week food stamps and lost all my carefully preserved and frozen food. There is NO WAY I can afford to pay a service tech for this and expected failures of other parts in the future. Watch LG’s “canned” response. They will do nothing.

Worst product. No after sale service. No care by company. Even send email, Whatsapp, talked company officials but they don’t care. I am suggesting to avoid to purchase LG products so guys avoid LG products.

I've the top of the line refrigerator from LG. Which was purchased about 4/yrs now. Recently, the unit broken down and I called LG's customer service. The problems was not resolve immediately. The unit was downed on July 29, 2019. The next immediate will be on Aug. 7, 2017. All the foods, milk, med. for mom and kids all went bad. LG model: LSC22991ST/01.

We just bought our LG refrigerator and sometimes we close the refrigerator door the freezer door opens. Sometimes it closes itself. Sometimes it stays open. I'm thinking this is a poor design. Buyer beware.

Updated on 08/23/2019: After almost two month of not having a working refrigerator, today, finally, LG provided me with a solution. Which I do not satisfied at all. They disregard all the factors that because of their poor product quality, how much time and money I have wasted. It sounds that they were doing me a favor, and I should be appreciated. Again, they do not respect their customers. They do not care if they are going to lose a customer. They are so arrogant and not considerate. Their customer service is the worst of the all. Be careful if you decided to buy a LG product.

Our fridge failed completely after just over a year. While LG's customer service has been polite and pleasant, they have done nothing to help. We are now without a working fridge for a week so far, with no end in sight. We've already had one no-show repair appointment, followed by me calling twice a day for the remainder of the week. Despite an escalation to a manager, I still received nothing but empty promises. I finally convinced a customer service rep to just give me the contact info for the authorized technician and guess what - it will be almost another week before they can get out.

Bought the LG French Door refrigerator in July 2013 after researching and review customer reviews. Last week, we noticed the bottom freezer was working and the food was thawing. The next day, we called a local repair company to come take a look at the refrigerator who came over a day later. At that point, the freezer was not working and the refrigerator was barely cool. All the food stored in both sections had to be thrown away. We were told it was the compressor and immediately called LG helpline. We were advised that LG would replace the compressor but we would have to pay the service charge.

Only had for 2 year and ice maker broke and took 1 month to get part and now whole refrigerator down and it is taking over 1 week to have someone come to look at it. All food going bad. Will tell people not to buy LG as the parts and service is very poor. They don't care about customers. Just wasted 1 month of food and Home Depot won't help out to try to get someone out to help.

Updated on 08/10/2019: UPDATE 08/09/2019 update: For those of you keeping score this is repair attempt number five. We still do not have a working LG refrigerator. We purchased our LG refrigerator in August of 2017 for $3000, stop working on June 22, 2019. THIS UNIT IS NOT REPAIRABLE! This company can care less that we do not have a working refrigerator! This has put so much hardship on me and my family.

Updated on 10/22/2019: My three year old LG refrigerator quit making ice, freezer and fridge broken! Compressor and other parts bad, lost hundreds of dollars worth of food. After several weeks, and repairman just deciding to not show up, repair was made and LG paid for all of it, as they should have. Here we are six weeks after repair and freezer no longer making ice and items in freezer thawing. I had asked the repairman if his repair was going to work since I have little faith in anything LG and he told me “probably not because they send the same defective parts.” Well, he was right! I sent a message to LG and I am being ignored. The last repair would have cost me $1600 for a THREE YEAR OLD REFRIGERATOR! Now, apparently, they don’t want to stand by the “repair.” I will NEVER buy another LG product.

We got our LG refrigerator at Costco two years ago. Then we started having problems with our ice maker. We called it in and LG sent somebody out here to replace it about three times already. They have replaced everything that they could possibly replace for the ice maker and it's still not making ice. It's inconvenient for us. But the technicians have been good and they've helped us with all the questions we've had.

I purchased a side by side refrigerator in Feb of 2015. In December of 2018 the compressor had to be replaced. Now in July of 2019 the freezer is not cooling. We purchased the extended warranty thankfully but cannot get anyone to come out for over a week. Tell why a 4 year old Refrigerator needs constant repair. I am frustrated with LG products.

I have attempted to leave an informative useful & detailed review about the quality (or lack thereof) on LG review sites however as the review was unfavourable for LG I have had the review rejected multiple times citing "does not meet our criteria". Basically I was being silenced. I have an LG refrigerator that is faulty & is still under warranty. I have tried every which way for LG to honour that warranty & they in return have have tried every which way dishonor it. Very stressful & disappointing to say the least.

We called LG to repair a refrigerator that was under warranty. The compressor to the refrigerator is not working (diagnosed by an appliance service that we originally called to repair). I waited on the phone for 35 minutes before someone was able to address the situation. After another 20 minutes I was informed that they only have one service provider in Washington DC and it would be 7 (yes seven!) days for the next appointment. My husband attempted to call again to follow up and was on hold for one hour and 30 minutes (Geisha informed him that he would be transferred to the Executive team) to determine if we could get an earlier appointment or perhaps hire someone else to fix the refrigerator and be reimbursed by LG.

Part# FLB075LANA compressor no good after five months. Not sure about the ten year warranty, but I do know about the, Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act California. LG, please make good on your product. Nothing personal. Just business. So make good on it.

LG refrigerator is not worth it! Before I bought this fridge I only heard good thing about LG! Five years in and my fridge won't get cold. My kids have been eating oatmeal and ramen noodles because WE DON'T HAVE A REFRIGERATOR! Customer service is rude and says I am out of warranty. I bought it in 6/2014 and it stopped working 7/2019! Tech came out and says it's the compressor which is under 10 yr warranty but it cost $529 labor to repair it! I don't have that amount of money to repair a $2000 refrigerator that should last longer than 5 years! How could LG do this to its customers! The reviews are horrible! Who protects us from these scammers! I want in on the class action lawsuit.

We purchased a new LG refrigerator when we purchased our home in 2017. We had renovations going on and our right hand door was damaged/dented by a contractor. The contractor offered to replace the door so I contacted an LG recommend appliance parts and service place to replace the door. A week later they returned with a substitute that did not work so they said they would be back a couple of weeks when the correct door came in, that was October 2018 and I have been waiting ever since. All my phone calls to the appliance repair people end with them saying it still has not come in, it’s on backorder.

We bought a French Door Model with bottom refrigerator. It's dead after 2 years. Customer service awful. And there is class action lawsuit in progress as this is so common. Piece of junk. Do not buy, read reviews!

We bought everything LG in the kitchen. My in-laws have Samsung and they had a lot of problems with their refrigerator. We've had our LG refrigerator for four years now. I like the quality of it, but we've had it repaired eight times. And I thought, maybe after the fifth time, they would say, "Eh, it's a lemon." Maybe they'd give us a new one, but they didn't. So, that was probably 15 hours of my time that I had to stand on getting it fixed.

Customer service number you call for an appliance repair is horrible. My ice maker stopped working and water just kept pouring out onto the floor before I noticed it. Customer service rep. wanted me to turn it back on and monitor it for 24 hours... lmao. I explained it was just running and running and running, like a garden hose all over my floor. The tech that came out was awesome.

Our LG French Door fridge/freezer was fine for 6 years, then suddenly quit cooling in both the fridge and freezer compartments. After 3 service visits over 3 months, it is limping along. The first visit replaced the compressor, the second two fixed leaks. We bought a back-up fridge after the first episode of thawed or spoiled food. According to the technician, the linear compressor does not perform well when the exhaust is in a confined space. Model # LFX31925ST / 03.

Our compressor went out in less than four years of having it and we lost food. It had a 10-year warranty on it and if I hadn't visited the website, I wouldn't have known that they extended the parts and labor from one year to five years. We had to wait for service for about 10 days so that was inconvenient. They were able to fix the issue but in the end, we had it replaced. At less than four years, the compressor shouldn't be dying.

I have a failed linear compressor on a $2500 LG refrigerator after only two years. Trying to schedule service or a claim through LG's website has not been helpful at all. The local repair tech said that they have seen multiple failures on LG compressors and that there are even one or two class action lawsuits against LG for the premature compressor failures. Hopefully, LG will step up and make right on the faulty compressors they manufactured. Until then, stay away from LG appliances. Warranties don't seem to mean much to them.

I purchased my LG side-by-side refrigerator from Best Buy in October 2016. Initially I was very pleased with the unit, no problems until late June 2018. The temperature dropped significantly and the freezer no longer kept food frozen. I was informed after placing a service call that the compressor ceased to work and other updates were needed to the refrigerator. One year later in July 2019 the freezer and refrigerator are again working insufficiently. I have lost a ridiculous amount of food in both the freezer and refrigerator. I am again using a cooler, buying ice frequently. I contacted the LG customer service department this past Sunday July 21, 2019 to inform staff of a malfunctioning refrigerator and to complain that this was the second incident in three years. I was given an appointment for July 25, 2019.

The fridge was purchased new in February 2017. The linear compressor failed in April 2019, and various other parts have failed since then. Every part (linear compressor, refrigerant valve, freezer evaporator) except the fridge compartment evaporator has been replaced, and it still doesn't work after 7 tech visits. Technicians do not bring parts--they must be ordered and shipped every time--adding more time without a working fridge. Though we have not paid for these tech visits, we have lost money on spoiled food and from missing work to meet the repair folks.

Updated on 08/09/2019: I spoke with LG today about my food that had to be thrown away due to this problem and was told that a check would be sent out to me in the amount of $150.00 in 3 weeks. I couldn't believe it. I have a 29 cubic foot refrigerator/freezer which was loaded with food and that all the compensation I was given was 150.00. I was told this was a courtesy from LG and it goes by the size of my fridge not the amount of food that was in it. LG knew about this defective compressor and should have recalled this product so customers wouldn't lose any food or time not having a refrigerator. Instead they wait till it breaks down to fix it and hopefully they pay for the labor and parts. I will never buy another LG product again and will let family and friends know the same.

Scotty the technician was great, very nice, professional, showed up on time, and gave me great advice on maintaining the refrigerator. Would be better to have appointments available sooner and if there was a confirmation call given the day of the appointment, I didn’t hear anything until the tech was on his way.

This is long, lots to cover. When our old fridge died over Memorial Day Weekend in 2015, we were rushed to replace it --- and have regretted that ever since. We purchased an LG French door fridge at a major retailer, with just the one day to do research (because, our old one had died and we'd already lost a couple hundred dollars in perishable food and had kids to feed). The linear compressor promised to be quiet, efficient, and durable - the literature boasts that an "officially proven 20-year-durable lifespan realizes your peace-of-mind."

We purchased an LG refrigerator 2 and a half years ago. It has stopped working. The refrigerator is not cold and the freezer does not freeze. LG has cancelled or failed to show up for 2 scheduled visits. We have now been without a refrigerator for over 20 days. LG representatives are now saying it will take them 7 to 10 days to review our documentation (receipt of purchase). We have called customer support at least 6 times and they lack integrity and empathy. How would one of them feel if they were in our shoes for 20 plus days?

Bought their fridge and within 2 years the linear compressor failed and had to be repaired. LG paid for the repair but the first repair was done wrong and fridge still did not cool. I called back and had to wait another week before they sent someone else out to try and fix their piece of garbage fridge.

I had purchased the LG refrigerator in March 2016 new. After 2.5 years, the compressor died and I had to throw away a refrigerator full of wonderful meat and food. I called Home Depot, which is where we got it from.. They offered no help because we had not purchased the 3 year extended warranty plan (which would have BARELY saved us anyway)...

I purchased an LG refrigerator From Lowe’s on September 13, 2017. I even purchased the extended warranty. With that said I am unable to get ANY assistance!! My refrigerator broke, for the second time, on June 27, 2019. I was instructed to call the service contractor per my warranty. They sent a repair person out BUT for the compressor to be repaired, I would have to wait 4 weeks... No offer of sending me a replacement to use only rent something and you will be reimbursed. I sent a letter to the local LG rep for guidance and support but he never responded.

My fridge stopped cooling three years after my purchase which is a little disappointing. I feel three years is not a long time. In addition all my food spoiled because of it! However every person I talked to was helpful, friendly, and compassionate. Still waiting on my food reimbursement & no one called me back to extended my warranty... Without a warranty this would have been more expensive so make sure you get the warranty.

Updated on 09/18/2019: Update to my prior post of July 2019. It is now September 18, 2019 and my refrigerator is still not fixed. The most recent cooling issue started in June 2019 and it is still not fixed by LG. I call every week and every week I'm told that they are sending my issue to the "Escalation Dept" who will call me in 2-3 business days. No one ever calls back.

We purchased the LG refrigerator in September of 2016. In July of 2018. The LG failed to cool intermittently. Over the course of a week, service was sent and could not find a problem. The issue appeared to resolve spontaneously. Exactly a year later we are having the same problem. We have completed the ridiculous instructions to unplug the power for 2 hours, then wait 24-48 hours to see if cools. We can expect service in 10 days. This is unacceptable, LG knows of the poor performance of this refrigerator and has failed to take appropriate action to resolve the problems in a timely manner.

Updated on 08/23/2019: Hi this is third review about the same issue I have been having for 6 months in that LG is not fixing the brand new refrigerator that only worked for two weeks. I have been trying for 6 months for someone to show up to fix it. They then sent me an email a month ago saying they would call me to arrange a time to replace it. They didn't call. Another technician was scheduled to come. This would be the 19th appointment I have had with them and none they have shown up to. I just received another text saying that my appointment is cancelled and LG are doing absolutely nothing to honor my warranty with them in rectifying the situation. I can not say enough to never buy anything from LG.

Bought our LG refrigerator in Jan 2016 and in February 2018 the compressor died. 2 after our warranty expired. Lowe's extended the warranty to have someone come look and that is when they discovered it was the compressor and it was replaced. July 2019 and it seems to be going bad again. Food in the freezer is not keeping frozen. We are so disappointed in the product after spending 2500. I would expect to not have had any of this happen in just 3 years. Would never buy another again.

All of our appliances are LG. Within the last few months, all of our appliances have started to go out. First, our Dishwasher stops draining water after a wash. The buttons on our microwave stopped working, the stove not only takes forever to heat up but the stovetop burner turns back on by itself after we shut it off. Can you say dangerous! I don't know what would have happened the first time if we had not caught it. We could have all been dead. Now our refrigerator won't keep anything cold but the freezer is still working. This is so disappointing because I was so excited about all of these appliances.

Purchased our LG refrigerator in November of 2014. Compressor went out in July 2019. Two weeks before someone was able to come out to replace the compressor. The Technician shared with me he has replaced about 400 LG Linear Compressors in just the past 12 months. Told us it likely would happen again and to purchase a Whirlpool next. Was so disappointed after a quick google search on "LG Linear Compressors" to learn just how bad the problem is. Calling LG was useless. They offered no help and of course never mentioned this was a major problem. Never again will I own a LG product. Please do your homework before purchasing LG. It only takes less than a minute on google to see the problems.

Was a good refrigerator till the compressor went out. Been out for over 3 weeks and we received a new compressor but when the service tech came out to repair the refrigerator he noticed the wrong compressor was sent. Now we wait again.

We have had our refrigerator for less than three years. The compressor quit with no warning at the end of June. I called LG customer service the same day. At first I was impressed because the rep said someone would be out the next day. Great! Nobody came the next day. I called and said the appointment had been changed and they wouldn’t be there for a week. The repairman came and said yes, it’s the compressor and would have to order it. He scheduled the repair for it for a little over a week from then. Totally unacceptable but what can you do. He came as scheduled but had ordered the wrong compressor. He had to order a new one and couldn’t come back until July 24th.

We had a terrible experience with LG Refrigerators. A couple of years ago, we bought an LG fridge. At the time, we liked the style. Then it went out when it was only two years old and wouldn't cool the food. The issue was the compressor, which had a 10-year warranty on it. They put a new one in, but the new one wouldn't work. It took a long time for them to get back in touch with me.

Refrigerator temp. 52 degrees. Multiple calls to LG, warranty program, waited 8 days for a repair tech. Spoiled food and frustration! Compressor replaced, but waited all day for tech who shows up at 5:30 P.M. Now refrigerator never stops running and is noisy. New repair tech is now scheduled. Stay away from LG!

Purchased a BRAND NEW Kenmore Elite 2014. Within 6 months, had a frozen drain which froze up the food in the refrigerator part. It was under warranty, so fixed without cost. I lost food though. In Jan 2019 the evaporator, compressor and dryer broke!! It would have cost close to 1,000.00 to fix, so I bought a service contract with Sears, monthly cost of 50.00 to cover all the new appliances I had purchased from Sears. It still cost 99.00 for the diagnostic. I lost food again!!! Now July 10, 2019 the evaporator broke again, not even 7 months old and again I LOST FOOD!!! LG you owe me for all the food I lost, in addition to lost time at work to be home so the repair people can FIX MY LESS THAN 5 YEAR OLD REFRIGERATOR.

Updated on 08/12/2019: I reported this product problem previously and a week later, received a response from LG saying they would do something about it. I sent the info next day and 4 days later they responded that they can't find the number. I respond again same day, now three more days go by. They still can't find the number so I send model and serial number again (from the sticker inside refrig). And I added that this is a refrigerator, our food is spoiling, please call me (and gave my number) as if it was your family's food. FIVE days more, another message, "We still can't find the number."

I needed a dishwasher. LG had a whole set of stuff on sale and I thought it looked good. So I bought it all including the refrigerator and the washer. I also use LG phones, so I like their products. Within an hour after the service people left and delivered, I noticed a dent in the refrigerator door. We then had multiple appointments. The guy came out twice and he didn’t have what he needed. Then we had more appointments that were cancelled. Finally, I had one that they cancelled and when I called the vendor that I had been dealing with, they told me that I had to refile my claim. I then got a hold of LG directly and I found out that the vendor had ordered in a wrong door and all this time, they never returned it, so LG never sent them a replacement. So the vendor kept scheduling an install and they expected me to have the door. The vendor was not knowledgeable at all.

Bought this fridge 22 months ago and it’s stuck in defrost mode 9/18/19. Called LG and they can’t send anyone till 8/1!! Who can wait that log!! Wish I could cuss on here. Luckily I have a home warranty and a tech is coming out on 7/22. Cost me $50 ded. Bought dry ice to keep food cool but that lasted only 2 days. Have to through out everything. Evidently this is a known issue LG knows about but will not invest the money to install better parts that matter in their fridges.

Our compressor and coil failed on our 4 1/2 year old fridge. We bought the fridge from Lowe's Canada with a 4 year extended warranty. About 2 years ago the fridge stopped working, all the food spoiled. We called the repair company and they fixed it. Just recently the fridge died. LG said they would send out a repair person in about a week! All the food spoiled. LG said the repair man would call us to schedule when he would be coming. The day before he was supposed to come, LG cancelled our appointment without telling us and said they need the repair man elsewhere and they would reschedule the appointment for TWO weeks later. Who does that to their customers? We called Lowe's and freaked out. They sent over another repairman who said the compressor and coil were pooched.

Woke up on the 4th of July with a house full of company visiting and tons of food in the fridge and freezer defrosted and spoiled. My extended warranty not covered because I was told LG is now covering cooling issues for 5 years from purchase. After extended hold times with LG (over an hour each time) it took them over 2 weeks to send a repair person. Repair finally done on Wednesday, they changed out the compressor. Was told to allow fridge to cool for 24 hours before placing anything inside and 24 hours for ice. It has been 48 hours, shopped today for some food as everything had to be thrown out and the fridge and freezer are not cooling properly. Ice not freezing, few items in freezer mushy and milk and juice barely cool. Will have to get back on the phone with customer service tomorrow.

Purchased fridge 1/1/2016. After 3 months we had to have it repaired because ice was forming on fan, they also had to evacuate the system and add freon. Took a few weeks for that repair. At 7 months old it stopped cooling (compressor went bad). Lost $250 worth of food. We had to use one of their authorized servicers due to the warranty and it took 2 weeks for a repair. Almost 3 years to the day after having replaced the compressor, it went bad again. The part is covered, labor is not. It will cost me $300+ for the repair and another $200+ for spoiled food. I should not be spending this kind of money to repair a $3000 refrigerator after only 3 years and 7 months. I have read numerous reviews and this is a very common issue. There have been several class action lawsuits and apparently LG is aware of the subpar performance of this appliance, yet still sells it.

We bought a brand new LG refrigerator and after only a few months the compressor went out. Called LG and they sent out a service man to repair. That was on July 2. It is now July 18 and after two attempts, refrigerator is still broken. Has been has been on the phone with LG for two days trying to get a repair man out to fix it. Telling us it will be July 30 before we can get someone out here. We have now gone two weeks without a refrigerator and they want us to go in entire month! I will never purchase another LG appliances as long as I breathe!

I bought the refrigerator July 2016 plus a 5 year warranty. The first year the water flow from the in-door water was very slow. I had to call for service and they fixed it. Now July of 2019 (3 years) the whole refrigerator stopped working. Customer service is a joke. I've called customer service three times, speaking to three different reps. The first one walked me through a reset and literally said that she guaranteed me that would fix it. She said check in eight hours. I did and it was not working. This was Friday and they are closed for the weekend. I spoke to another rep the first of the next week and he said that it would take until the following Monday for a tech to look at it to diagnose. That will be the ninth day without a refrigerator and freezer.

Bought a new LG fridge in November 2017 from Home Depot (delivered Feb '18). Fridge was finally installed by my general contractor in January 2019 after kitchen renovation. Almost immediately, the fridge started to make a loud buzzing type noise. The noise is unbearable and can be heard in the other room while watching TV (to the point of needing to raise the TV volume), as well as when we are upstairs. The noise is non-stop and continues even when the fridge door is open.

The compressor went out on our fridge. After calling, LG moved quickly on repairing. The technician was knowledgeable and professional. Soon he made the repair and we were operating again. Great company and great service! Could not ask for more from a company.

Bought an LG fridge from the box store. First one delivered had damage on the door. Delivery driver called and a replacement arrived within 2 weeks. Started having problems and called LG, after 3 LG repairman deemed it unrepairable, LG suddenly claimed it was damaged during shipping! My next step is litigation! DO NOT BUY LG, THEY DON'T HONOR THEIR WARRANTY!

Kenmore and LG refrigerator have known compressors that fail way before the life of these appliances. I know because mine failed today. I talked to LG and Sears/Kenmore and neither cared. They each blamed the other. My refrigerator is only four years old and I paid over $3,000 for it. I know I am not alone. There is a class action lawsuit against LG for this same problem. I advise that everyone that has this problem join in. Don’t let these companies take advantage of us any longer.

I have a nearly new LG refrigerator which is not working. Stopped cooling in fridge and bottom freezer. After waiting on hold for over 10 minutes the customer service rep who doesn't speak English (I kept having to say "excuse me" for him to repeat himself) questioned me about the product itself. Refuses to send out a technician for repair (even though it's under warranty) and has me reset it and then tells me if it doesn't work in 4-6 hours I need to call back. Nope. If it doesn't work, I'll call in a a repair company to come. In the meantime, all my food in freezer and refrigerator will be ruined. Not a great way to run a company.

All my appliances are from LG like the microwave, washing machine, dryer, and dishwasher. Everything was okay so I picked an LG refrigerator too. The experience with the product was good until it started to get some problem. The insurance company refunded the money for the refrigerator but I was without a refrigerator in my house for over a month. After this experience, I should get a Samsung because I don't wanna get another problem like that.

LG: my advice is don’t buy any of their products. 5 weeks ago my $3000 fridge stopped cooling. I had a local company out here, they determined that the linear compressor has to replaced, like most of them after just a few years. Called LG June 14th., filed a warranty claim and got confirmed the part would ship in 2-3 weeks. Coming back from Europe last week no part, no correspondence.

To whom it may concern. My name is Liliana **, I purchased a LG refrigerator in 2012, my refrigerator is not cooling and the compressor is making a loud noise. I’ve called with my concerns on 7/14/19, the CSR was unable to help since the smart diagnostics staff did not work on weekends. Called Monday 7/15/19 spoke with one of the staff members however we tried to get the smart diagnosis to work but “ the phone signal” wasn’t good enough so nothing could be done. The rep. asked me to reset the system but nothing we tried worked, I was very frustrated not only I’ve suffered monetary loss since I had to throw away a lot of the food that was in the freezer and refrigerator. I had to wait on the line for over 30 and stayed with the rep for over an hour.

I was happy with the young man that repaired our refrigerator. He was professional and completed his work within a timely manner. I was disappointed in LG for not trusting me, I told the lady the compressor was not running. The fan and lights were working, just not the compressor. The temperature in the refrigerator was 65 degrees plus. I also told her I had heard the compressor running loud a few days before and now nothing. If the lady at LG had trusted me, the part could have been ordered and here or with repairman when he arrived here the first time and I could have my refrigerator repaired and running a week earlier.

The LG Refrigerator that I have now was already in the house when I purchased it. The compressor completely went out and we were without a refrigerator for a little bit. On the manual, there's an LG number to call for warranty, and the labor and parts were covered. It took LG about a week to fix the refrigerator. The reps came out and replaced a part. Then, they discarded another part and they had to order that. We had to wait a few days for that to come in. It has no issues now that it has been taken care of.

After posting this review LG was quick to respond with to a private exchange to stand behind their product. We had several exchanges concluding with me sending them the details and invoice from the LG certified repair company we had used to assess the unit. Unfortunately after this exchange we have received no further communication from LG. They had stated they would stand behind the quality of their product however after more than 2 weeks of silence and a not functioning refrigerator I am losing confidence. I am disappointed that they set the expectation that they would help and then have failed to respond. Not only because I would like their help but I need to decide if I need to buy a new refrigerator. Ironically the short term solve has been to use a 20 year old Amana unit in the garage which has never needed any repairs. Maybe we should go back to a more reliable brand.

The compressor on our refrigerator died in less than three years - a common problem we learned about after the fact. Prior to the compressor failing, we noticed the once beautiful black stainless finish was chipping and delaminating on the corners of the French doors. None of this was expected, nor is it considered acceptable based on the price.

1 month 11 days, so many calls, personal visit to vendor store... 1 incompetent "LG" preferred repairman who spent 5.50 hours in my house & still did not know what was wrong. Tried to charge me $700, Still more to say.

Every time I call customer service, I get the equivalent to 'sorry about your luck'. I've now been over two months without a working refrigerator. We've had five repair appointments in which the tech actually showed up. We are now waiting more than two weeks for another repair tech appointment. This new appointment has already been bumped back TWICE. LG SHOULD BE ASHAMED! Sadly, I've learned that nobody at LG cares.

We purchased our refrigerator on July 8, 2018. We were remodeling our home and did not actually plug it in until Dec. 2018. Mid May, 2019 *or there about* we experienced warm food and thawing frozen foods. We called the service center (1-800-905-9505) and told them of the problem - and technician took 2 weeks to come diagnose & repair --- replacing the compressor (Work was done on June 1, 2019). July 11th the refrigerator stopped cooling once again. Food lost and frozen food lost. Technician came the next day (12th) repaired.... and following morning (13th) the refrigerator STOPPED COOLING! Called service center on Saturday the 13th - and am still waiting for a call back from LG to set up service call ASAP.

Worked well for the first three years. Then water started leaking inside under the vegetable trays. It was due to a known problem with the water outlet valves getting frozen. Good that I had extended warranty. The technician from LG fixed it and removed the ice. Have been working fine ever since. Hopefully the issue wont surface again.

We purchased our LG refrigerator in 2012, French door with ice maker. Please be aware our ice maker once again has ceased to work. This will be our 4th ice maker to be replaced, IF we have it replaced, since 2012. Even though we purchased it in 2012, we are not eligible for the flat rate repair cost, (only eligible for models from 2012) and apparently, as per LG, it was manufactured in 2011. I have never been so unhappy with this refrigerator therefore would never recommend LG to anyone. And, as a side note, the paint is already coming off from below the ice maker on the outside. We called LG and explained this all to them but they were unable to help us. This has been such a frustrating experience for us.

LG refrigerator, not cooling and freezer not freezing. It took 5 calls, put an inordinate amount if wait time to get a customer rep. Once connected, got referred at least twice (each call) and had to repeat, identity and issue to each rep. Over 2hrs.

I ordered a French door model fridge from Home Depot that had a dent in the door upon arrival. Delivery techs called to get door replaced. Contracted appliance company was never available to schedule repair service so I requested different company. I called customer service no less than 15 times and had the second appliance company have to come 3 times before resolving the door issue that took 15 minutes to install. Customer service is farmed out to India, and there is no connectivity or standard between departments. I should have never had to call, be told I would have to pay for the door or any of the hours of nonsense I had to endure for a product that should have been in good shape to begin with when delivered. Never again will I order another LG product due to the customer service nightmare.

In less than two years it failed after a power outage. We replaced the tiny fuse, deliberately hidden to make repair very difficult, and installed surge protection. A year later, it no longer cools properly, either in fridge or freezer sections, underscored by its inability to make ice. It is very sad since the design itself is good... but the electrical and technical components are not worth it. Buying a new fridge this week, it will NOT be an LG. We used to have an LG microwave oven as well, it was truly odd. The child protective device prohibited basic usage by adults. We also replaced it with another brand.

The process for getting this fridge repaired has been very frustrating. I am grateful for the labor and parts being covered by the warranty but scheduling with your repair contract is another story. The compressor and condenser have been replaced but now my evaporator has a leak and it will now have to be replaced. We are without a fridge and have had to throw away more food because the temperature has fluctuated so drastically. It was not known that the evaporator was leaking. This fridge has been a nightmare the last two months. Any compensation for food would be greatly appreciated.
