LG Refrigerators Reviews

$3000 and 3 years old our fridge died just before the holidays. LG set up 2 appts with their technical support at A&E and neither appointment was honored. I have parts sitting here in my home; a compressor and dryer sent by LG for the technician. 2 days sitting home after canceling a long awaited doctor appt and other work related activities. There seems to be no end in sight and no way to contact upper management at LG in Huntsville, Alabama. They are hiding out there and taking no responsibility for their inferior product. Never again LG.

Pros: Nice storage layout and plenty of freezer storage. Egg compartment holds two dozen eggs. Cons: Ice maker is a nice concept but poor execution. Ours leaks water and often clumps up. I would not buy one again.

This is an expensive refrigerator, and it looks nice. BUT... the compressor wears out easily and makes a horrible loud vibrating/buzzing noise that drowns out conversation in the kitchen. After the first time it fails, LG charges hundreds of dollars to replace the warrantied part (service isn't covered) and then when the darn thing starts vibrating like crazy again just weeks after they "fix" it, they want hundreds of dollars to come out to replace the part again. And they're rude about it.

Fridge not cooling past 2 months. Have talked to the cust tech service several times. Each time they state hard start. Do the hard start. Last about 2 weeks then goes hot again. I want fridge replaced.

Bought my LG REFRIGERATOR on November 18th, 2015. Right away it had a noise coming from it. The first of December 2018, woke up to a puddle of water in front of the refrigerator. Opened the door and the freezer was warm. Called LG, they sent a technician out, he had to replace the compressor and the circuit board, waited 1 week for parts to come in. Technician came and replace the parts. 2 days later, something happened AGAIN, waiting for another week for him to come out (because he was busy doing other repairs), he added Freon, that lasted for 2 days, then the day before Christmas eve 2018, he came out and put more Freon in it. The Technician CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. Now, it's December 29th 2018, still not fixed.

We bought our LG refrigerator 12 years ago and it has been a source of aggravation ever since. It has had to be worked on numerous times. Leaks water from the ice maker and now makes crazy suction noise. We have our Whirlpool refrigerator in the garage, nearly 25 years old and has not had one problem. All I can saw is DON’T BUY LG or be prepared for lots of problems. I am afraid with this latest noise that it could catch fire! We will have to buy a new refrigerator soon because we can’t live with this constant aggravation, Even though we paid more for it than any refrigerator we have ever had!!!

Purchased my $4k LG French door 26 cu ft refrig/freezer in Nov 2015. In June 2017 the refrig/freezer failed and not operable, had to throw all my food away. Repaired with new compressor. On December 26, 2018, the exact same problem occurred! Threw my food away again! the earliest a tech can come is on January 9, 2019! This appointment was after I complained about the first Jan 16th appointment given! Need another new compressor. Prior to this LG, I had another LG and its compressor that failed twice in the 3 years I owned it. Why did I buy another LG? Thought, "What the odds of this happening again with a brand new LG." Well now I know. It must be a defective design that occurs repeatedly to a Lot of LG owners! Never will buy another LG!

Fridge is not working still, tech has been out 3 times nothing. HORRIBLE SERVICE. No one knows what is going on-not even the supervisor within customer service. I was not able to get to the higher person. They just kept telling me to hold on and then hang up or never answer.

We purchased this LG refrigerator (LFXC24726D $3,022.99) from HDP in 2016 and have had the compressor to go out in Sept. 28, 2018. We lost all of our food, which they did not replace. This just happened to occur a year after the loss of my husband. This added to the agony of life's challenges. Now less than 3 months later the freezer goes out. This is now the food in the freezer lost. LG initially said there would not be a charge for the repair. The technician arrives and tells me that there is a charge because this is a different issue not related to the compressor.

Purchased new LG French door in December 2016. Have had at LEAST five service calls due to the cooling system quits working. Have had runaround from LG folks. They insist on repeated repair calls. This is the worst customer service experience I have ever had. As of today, we have had at least two compressors replaced and now waiting for a whole new evaporation system to be installed. I am amazed that LG has spent time and money on trying to fix this lemon instead of just refunding money so we can get a refrigerator that actual works. Extremely disappointed by the quality and treatment we have received from LG.

Compressor failed after 2 years. After multiple repairs, doesn't cool. Has a design issue - nobody could fix it. Customer support is terrible! They keep offering a help - but this is just a tactic to make you give up! LOOKING FORWARD FOR A CLASS ACTION AGAINST LG.

I purchased my LG refrigerator in 2016. A piece of junk. It has been fixed a few times and currently been broken since Thanksgiving and can't be fixed. It quit cooling and freezing. The repairman has consulted LG to try to get answers but it still isn't working. The money you pay and it doesn't last 2 years. I will never buy LG products again.

Have had the fridge over 2 years and the fridge stopped cooling, woke up to a puddle on the floor from the indoor ice maker melting... They only cover 1 year of parts and labor and 10 years on compressor itself, what a surprise... It's like they know it would break after a year... Good thing I have an extended warranty with Home Depot which covers parts and labor an extra 3 years. If it breaks again in 2 years I'm just going to trash it... This product was made to fail, don't buy.

Our fridge died after 15 months. It took 3 days for LG tech to come out and change the compressor. After 3 weeks second compressor went down too. Again another tech came out and replaced the compressor. And now here is the nightmare. As soon as tech left unit started making a loud banging noise. Called LG again and same tech came out. Worked on it and left. It took less than 30 minutes for noise to come back. Next day same tech comes out and worked on it but he really didn't know what was wrong. He left and same problem. The banging is so loud that we can hear it from our bedroom. It got so bad that I had to pull out the unit and unplug at 3 am. And now LG sending the same tech out for the 5th time. This unit cost us $3100...

We purchase a LG refrigerator Model LFX28968SM on November 29, 2016 from Home Depot and it had a 1 year warranty. On September 2018 the refrigerator section was not cooling below 60 deg F. I called the two LG Authorized Service Centers and they would not respond. I called another repair center and they ordered the part that arrived after 2 weeks from China and it did not fit. They tried to order a replacement and after six weeks they were unsuccessful. We discarded the LG refrigerator and ordered a brand that was made in the US. It was a terrible experience that cost us $2,000.

We just took our LG fridge to the dumps. Within the first year we were having problems with the ice maker and were advised to thaw it out and make sure the ice maker didn't freeze up. Then the compressor had went out after less than 4 years. The authorized service shop for northern Utah is Mark-A-Newt. They will not work on a LG fridge anymore. They said that in the last year they have only been paid once for the work they have done for LG, and they don't know of anyone who will work on them. They advised us not to buy another one. I plan on telling everyone I know about LG.

Thought LG would be a superior product and good warranty. 2 yrs and the compressor is out. Told by tech guy that it is a thing with LG and they have only last about 2 yrs and will have to replace again. We have scheduled service and have been canceled 3 times. Going on 3 weeks without a fridge. Had to throw out food. Have missed 3 days of work. The people on the phone have no idea what they are doing and transfer you around and have to tell your problem again and again to each person. They say what you want to hear to get you off phone but then do not follow through. Again supposed to be here today and got a call that they are overbooked and rescheduled AGAIN. Do not be fooled by this company. Do not buy LG appliances. Their warranty is for crap and you will wait and wait and have to call a dozen times.

My LG washer is a few years old with a 10 year warranty but they charge a $125.00 service call for each call and then labor on top of the service call which means after one service it is cheaper to buy another washer machine. Yes you can buy a much better washing machine for less than two service calls over 10 years!! Buyer beware of this garbage washing machines! Not to mention their 3,000 refrigerator my family purchased. I loved the LG brand for TVs, etc. Not anymore. They lost a lifetime customer!

You know I expected that LG would be a good company and that if should something happen to my recently purchased LG fridge, that they would provide good service to me. How wrong I was. LG really let me down with not just their product - this new expensive fridge that broke that just after 1 year, but especially with their service. I asked if they could provide a service technician and the only one in my area won't repair the coolant system. So they purposely have the only technician in the Greater Vancouver area not do coolant systems.

We purchased a refrigerator from a chain, product arrived to our home in good shape. While install, installers dropped door and smashed ice maker. Had to take fridge back and it took two months to receive new fridge. When new one arrived they had to take doors off. Upon reinstalling the doors the door with ice in it, it was uneven with other door. When we asked about this they said that once ice was in door it would settle. It didn’t. We called store. They said we had to contact manufacturer. We called them and waited to receive a callback. Never received call. We called back and LG told us they would have installers back out to fix refrigerator. Company never showed.

As many others have stated, if I could provide zero stars I would!!! Do not buy even if other reviews are good. It's not if it's when your product will default. We've had our LG refrigerator for less than 3 years, and bought the extended warranty. Unfortunately, it's been nothing but trouble. We are currently out of a refrigerator and LG still has yet to come up with a solution or a reliable repair company. The first issue was the fan in the freezer compartment which was fixed and covered under warranty.

Over the years we have had a number of refrigerator brands and have never had any major problems. Our LG refrigerator has lasted less than 2 years and after 4 weeks of dealing with this company we are still without a refrigerator. The unit stopped cooling and we called customer service. Seeing that it was a refrigerator we thought a day or 2 and it would be repaired. It took a week for their service rep from A & E Appliance Repair to arrive. It looks like this company has some connection to Sears. Then another week went by before a part arrived. Looking at the control board that arrive it had broken clips and it didn't look new.

Purchased LG's top of the line matching washer and dryer in Oct 2014. Since have had issues the last four months with OE code and repeated rinse cycles. VERY costly as I pay for water! I contacted LG and of course customer service, located in another country, cannot service the washer. They feel an almost four year old washer is well used! REALLY- washers average lifespan is 12 years on newer versions - older washers would go forever - 25 years plus! Very disgusted with LG customer service and more importantly their craftsmanship of poor quality! Pretty appliances, pleasing to the eye but purely JUNK! This company needs to step up to plate and take care of their customers. Buyer beware - one year new LG appliances that break cannot be fixed because LG discontinues the replacement parts!

I wish I could give a negative rating! We have been working with LG customer service since October (over 2 months now). We are extremely disappointed and feel like we have been led on like they would possibly stand behind their product. I can hardly believe we have went this long without a full size fridge and freezer. If LG customer service would have just told us over two months ago that they would not stand behind a less than 3 year old fridge we could have thrown it in a landfill and went and bought another brand. Not only do we NOT need to spend so much money every couple of years on a major appliance, but we really don’t need to fill up our landfills with these things. LG, if you cannot make a large major appliance last longer than 2 years, PLEASE STOP MAKING THEM! Do it not only for customers like me, but for the WORLD!

We bought a french door LG fridge from Home Depot. It stopped working just after the warranty was up. Costing us all the food in the freezer and the fridge. NEVER BUY LG AGAIN. Now we face the choice of a costly repair and very possibly future breakdowns, or scrap the crap. And buy something decent.

I hate LG, worse company to deal with when you need customer service or system repair. 69 days and still no resolution on my $2,900 refrigerator. After 1.5 years the unit quit working, after 50 phone calls and several attempts to fix their unit I still have no solution. They suck, they don’t care about the customer, they keep escalating my case and each time it takes 3-10 days to get an answer. They say they will contact me and they never do, I have to call them 3 times a week to keep things moving.

I purchased an LG refrigerator from Best Buy and it is three years old. I live in Santa Fe New Mexico and it turns out there are no authorized service people here. I called LG directly and they referred me to people who said they would not even look at an LG refrigerator and wished me luck. After 7 phone calls they advised me to find a service person who would work on it and they would authorize them. I found someone and when they called to get the information LG would not give it to them. I called to get the information how to safely remove the ice and water dispenser to check the control board and they refused to give it to me.

I purchased by LG refrigerator from Home Depot in September 2018. Waited for delivery, all seemed fine. About 6 weeks later the door alarm started going off for no reason. Called LG customer service at 10 p.m. They can't help me, I have to call Home Depot! Called Home Depot. They hooked me up with repair service because it's under warranty. However, they can't come out to look at it for over a week! Guess I'll have to wait and hear a door chime every 30 seconds and my Led light on all the time for a week!!! Ok, can do that.

Our story starts with a happy purchase of an LG Refrigerator (LGXS24623) at Home Depot in September 2018 that was supposed to arrive in about 6 weeks. It never got to us, we called Home Depot to inquire and they said, “Oh sorry, it’s lost, we’ll see what we can do, it will take another couple of weeks”. Long story short, we received our fancy new fridge. We connected, set it up and after about 4 hours we opened the door and it wasn’t cold. We changed the temperature a bit and waited a bit more, but nothing changed. It was warmer in the fridge than in the kitchen.

We bought a LG refrigerator from Sears in late 2015. It was a top of the line double door and cost approximately 3000.00 dollars. It quit within the first year and was "repaired". It quit again the second and during the third year it has broken down twice. Every repairman that has worked on this refrigerator tells us that it is well known that this LG model has design defects.

Update on 01/02/2019: I made my first post on November 30, 2018. Repair was finally "completed" on December 27, 2018. Today is January 1, 2019 and the fridge is back up to 50 degrees and the unit is not making ice. This is after a new compressor and condenser were installed. Tech will be out tomorrow. Not expecting good news.

Bought an LG refrigerator in November, 2015. (We replaced a GE refrigerator that was 9 years old which worked fine, except that the fan was noisy.) In September, 2018, the LG refrigerator quit working. We discovered water on the floor and found that the ice had melted. All the food was spoiled. Upon contacting LG, we were initially provided a list of companies to contact to get the refrigerator repaired, and all companies were located in Georgia (we are located in Wisconsin). I then contacted a couple local service companies, and both told me that it was the compressor and would cost $1500 to replace (LG does not cover cost of repair after one year) and would take approximately 10 days to get the part and then install.

My LG refrigerator was only 2 months old when it died. It took customer service four weeks to the day to get it fixed. One week later, it was not working again. They told us they would give us our money back so we purchased a new refrigerator from another manufacturer. Two days later we were told they were going to fix it. Also they refused to pay for the food we lost. Now it has been an additional three weeks (so two months since it broke) and we are still waiting on parts and the "new" refrigerator is still broken. At least we purchased a different refrigerator and have something that works. Hopefully we will get our money back on the LG refrigerator. What a headache! Save yourself some frustration and avoid purchasing this refrigerator!

We will NEVER buy another overpriced LG product ever!! Had a beautiful Amana that stopped working after 11 yrs never had an issue with it. We went for the LG because it had a little more space and the ice maker was in the door. The stainless steel doesn’t clean up nice and shine like other models and when the water is filling the ice tray it leaks out which then makes for a big block of ice which makes the ice maker never work!! Therefore we’d never again buy this brand!

My refrigerator was purchased in August 2017. Now 13 months later this 1200$ item died between 5:30 in the evening and 8 pm. It was dead. I have called LG every day since and get sent from one person to another. They did not even have a tech in my area, small-town in AZ. Finally got one out a week later. The main board went out. 400$ plus for the part, 4 to 6 weeks to get one. By the time I'm am done, if ever it will cost almost as much as mine did new for the repair. Stay away from LG!!!

My fridge broke down September 27, 2018 and I have been calling LG customer service about every 3 days and keep getting a complete runaround. They bounced me from service provider to service provider promising they would cover the parts and labor. None of their providers in our area were willing to come. I'm only one hour from New York City!!! Since they failed to provide a service provider I found my own and after about 20 hours on the phone with LG over several weeks got them to agree to cover the parts and labor for the provider I found. They promised a letter of authorization on 3 different occasions to start the work and it never was sent. I finally lost it on the customer service rep and they said they would consider replacement since I waited so long... only to be informed on my next call that this request was denied.

My expensive LG side by side refrigerator isn't even 3 years old. We noticed melting ice and water on the floor. The freezer section was no longer getting cold at all. Everything inside thawed out. The refrigerator sounded like it was still running and the cold side is only slightly cool. I called Lowe's this morning (Sunday, Thanksgiving weekend) and they told me that the parts were covered but I will have to pay for labor. The earliest repair appointment is for Tuesday. I'm not sure how much the labor will cost, but there is definitely a pattern on the reviews that have been posted. When I purchased it LG had great reviews, but obviously they are now using cheap parts. I hope this review saves someone else time and money, because now I am stuck with this expensive but cheaply made refrigerator.

35 months to the day of delivery of our LG 4 door refrigerator our kitchen floor was flooded, the interior was soaked, and the refrigerator and freezer stopped working. I called LG assistance and the built in diagnosis also failed. Like everyone else, it's the compressor and we're waiting on word if one is available. LG compressors seem to be a refrigerator's equivalent of the Takata airbag problem! Now, after the fact, I first learn from this website of the LG compressor failures, and from additional Googling of the several class action lawsuits. At 84 I never expected having to buy another refrigerator - especially after spending a King's Fortune only 3 years earlier.

Same issue as everyone else. Can I give a negative star rating? Our LG French door fridge also died for no apparent reason after about 5 years. What a piece of junk. Now we have to go buy a new one while everyone is here visiting for Thanksgiving. Thanks for fooling us all, LG.

I have an LG refrigerator model LMXS30776D, which retails for $3999.99, it was manufactured in March of 2016. I have now had to replace the compressor, the evaporator coil and now the fan and controller. It took 3 months to get the compressor replaced. A month to get the evaporator coil replaced. I wonder how long it will take to get the fan fixed. This means that the unit has been broken for 1/4 of the time I have owned it.

3 yr old code ER RF. Waited 2 weeks for service call then 10 days for parts. $600 out of pocket repair did not solve the issue code ER RF. Again back in queue for service call. 10 day wait. Went online. Ordered new unit NOT LG. Cannot recover $600.

The ABSOLUTE WORST company and customer service!! I purchased a French door refrigerator in May through JCPenney. I also purchased the extended warranty. Five months later the refrigerator showed an error code - dhF. I called LG and they sent a serviceman who walked in the house, looked at the code and said he did not have the parts needed to fix it. I asked him how he knew what he needed without opening the refrigerator and he stated that it is a problem that LG knows about but continues to sell defective equipment anyway, they just sent someone out to replace parts.

DO NOT PURCHASE ANY LG REFRIGERATOR!!! We bought an LG French door refrigerator less than a year ago and we no longer have a refrigerator already. A very expensive appliance that is required normally important in life has been broken for over a month now. LG sent out a subcontracted company name Tasko who set an appt initially A day or so after report of failure of the compressor. Technician showed up unable to speak English and "said" I think....after only a few minutes someone else would have to come back...he couldn't fix the issue. I said, "why did you come if you can not fix it" and when will someone be back? My refrigerator isn't working and all my food is spoiling. EXPENSIVE LOSS!!! Plus it's almost THANKSGIVING! He replied, "someone will call by Friday...a whole week away...NO ONE CALLED FOR 2 more weeks!

When we bought our home 3 years ago, we purchase a new LG refrigerator. What a mistake, the freezer doesn't work properly; it will only freeze when it wants. All of the inside storage bins are broken and ice maker will not make ice. I don't plan to ever buy a "LG" product again.

We purchased an entire suite of kitchen appliances in 2015 from Home Depot. The oven failed two weeks ago due to a broken igniter. Repairman said LG igniters last about 3 years. $200 repair. Last night (during dinner when we were home thank goodness) the in-the-door water suddenly decided to turn on by itself, ejecting water onto our hardwood floors. I ran over to try and stop in and slipped and fell in the puddle. Husband ran downstairs to turn off the water which stopped the flow, but the motor kept running as if the water was trying to flow.

Amazingly bad service with what is supposed to be a great appliance company. My 6 year old French Door refrigerator won't dispense water. I performed all the troubleshooting by the book and via a text message from LG. Sat on the phone for 20 minutes waiting to speak to a live person after being told every minute that someone would be with me in four minutes. When the person came on the phone she knew nothing about the appliance side of the business. She took my zip code and put me back on hold to "find me a service company". After a few minutes on hold, she came back and gave me four companies, one I had already called and they told me they do not repair LG because parts are too difficult to get.

We purchased this refrigerator from Home Depot in April of 2016. One year in, we started to hear a loud rattling sound. The repairman said it was build up of ice around the fan. Fan had to be replaced and fridge defrosted and told me to keep all the seals maintained with vaseline to keep it from happening again. Now, another year later, the unit has stopped cooling. All the food in the freezer had defrosted and fridge was warm. LG's website listed two service companies in our area. First one doesn't do fridges anymore. Second one had terrible reviews so I didn't call them. Had the same repairman come out that did the fan and he says the compressor has failed. This really needs to be a class action suit against LG... So many people have the same issues and we paid close to $4000 for this refrigerator.

Compressor failure on a 18 month old $3800 LG refrigerator. We purchased what we thought was a top of the line highly rated refrigerator. After less than 18 months the compressor failed. LG gave me an authorization and local authorized service centers, each one telling me that the compressor (10 year warranty) must come from LG and there is a 4 month backorder and they wouldn't want to do it, because LG doesn't pay them for their time. I found the LG indicated upgrade compressor online and a service tech, $900+ out of pocket for parts and labor. LG offered $650 for parts, labor and food loss and then called me and rudely reneged. This is not an isolated incident, from my investigation, there are thousands of LG customers with the same problems. There is talk of a class action lawsuit.

I chose this fridge because it got good ratings with Consumer Reports. They must not read these reviews! Our experience was similar to others here. The fridge worked great for 18 months and then the freezer quit. First local authorized agent was not up to the task and walked away after wasting three weeks of our time. Second agent, an hour distant, did get the compressor replaced (bravo!), but by then we had been down for 38 days. It took many phone calls. Although the young people who answer at LG were friendly and tried to help, it was frustrating to hear the "life is good" recording with each call as the days kept passing. LG did cover the repair cost.

Updated on 01/08/2019: After two failures and unsuccessful repairs, Asurion sent another repair company over. The repairman walked into the house and said "I know what the problem is already" as he heard the compressor groaning in the kitchen. After conferring with his boss over the phone, I was informed that they no longer will do repairs on LG products because LG does not pay their invoice. So not only does Home Depot continue to sell this junk, but the repair shops that would handle the extended warranty repairs will not work on LG. A couple of weeks later, Asurion (out of the blue) called and said that a reimbursement check was being sent. Could that be due to the class action lawsuit recently filed nationwide against LG?? So we got the check, disposed of the LG, and bought a KitchenAid that sits quietly in the kitchen, keeping things cool and keeping us composed. OH, and never a word from LG through any of this business.

DON’T EVER BUY A LG REFRIGERATOR! I bought a new LG refrigerator 2 years ago from Best Buy. Life has not been good. The compressor went out on 10/31/18. Today is November 12 and my refrigerator has not been fixed yet. When the repairman came out today he said the whole system was contaminated with oil and the vaporizer, condenser, compressor, and dryer had to be replaced.

I bought an LG refrigerator 3 years ago and have had nothing but problems. I have had techs out on multiple occasions. I will never buy anything with the name LG on it again. Between Sears screwing things up and LG not being able to build quality product I am once again out more money. I called LG and was told that I needed an order number after they sent the wrong parts to begin with. The rep from Sears said I should have had LG fix it and shouldn't have gotten the very expensive service plan to begin with. I called LG and they said they knew that the refrigerator was not quality but that they would only cover parts. I now have a broken refrigerator and no idea how to get it fixed. My advice is to never buy LG EVER!!!

I also have had the same issues as others on this thread. Compressor failure at 3 years of ownership is a sure sign this unit (and others within the same model series) are complete garbage. Prior, 3 months after purchasing this unit, we experienced a loud rattling noise which was caused by a fan hitting a build-up of ice on the compressor lines. After multiple tech visits, replacing several items, the entire "board" or CPU for the unit was replaced. We had no other issues after up until now, 3 years later. Fortunately, we did buy an extended 5-year warranty from the company where it was purchased. This warranty did cover the costs to repair. But, based on my research, the compressor will fail again in time due to onboard firmware issues that are causing the overload.

I purchased an LG french door refrigerator Model lfx28968st in January 2014. I paid close to $3,000 for it, so I was surprised when it stopped cooling less than a year later. I immediately called LG who referred me to a local company that does their warranty work. It turned that the company had been out of business for years and that no one in our area actually does their warranty work. When I called LG again they seemed surprised and told me that I would have to find a local company that would work with them to get my refrigerator repaired. After calling around town, I discovered that Sears was the only company who would attempt to repair my basically new refrigerator. I made the first appointment I could get (several weeks later) to have my refrigerator "diagnosed" because Sears would have to get parts ordered and approved through LG before any repair could be made so they could get reimbursed for their labor.

So excited to renovate kitchen. Never had LG appliance but heard great things so invested in ALL LG appliances: French door fridge, gas range, dishwasher, microwave, washer and dryer. Fridge: Linear compressor went out at 9 months. 20 phone calls and runaround before I could get LG to agree to service. Now, 6 months later, FF and E code seemingly freezer fan motor is defective. LG service tells me to unplug it for 8 hours and let it defrost all over My hardwood floors and “just put down towels.” And... "If that doesn’t work, you need a new motor." BTW: The fridge to the floor is about 1/2 inch so no room for a towel.

After reading review after review on this site detailing the same issues I have had with my $3000 LG French door refrigerator, I will not waste time with detailing the issues I have had with this trash LG product. Same no-customer-service response from LG; the service company they gave us hasn’t worked for them for 2 years! We finally had to go directly to Home Depot to get a service repair person to come and look at our refrigerator. It has been two weeks without my refrigerator and hopefully it will get fixed today. But according to the other reviews that I read that may not be the last of my problems with this refrigerator. I am not hopeful.

Have a 4 yr old LG French door LFX28968**ST over $2000. I have had 3 repair visits and paid $350.00 in the last few months and it does not cool at all. LG won't even refund any of my repair charges on my broken refrigerator and won't return my calls. I will NEVER buy another LG product. Ripoffs.

We bought this refrigerator less than 2 years ago (12/2016). A few weeks ago it stopped cooling. A serviceman from the store where we bought the refrigerator came out to service it, and said the coil with the refrigerant was leaking. BUT, he couldn't fix it because LG only lets its own servicemen fix this problem (according to the serviceman that's because so many LG refrigerators refrigerant coils leak). The serviceman said LG would contact me within 24 hours to set up an appointment. 3 days later we hadn't heard from LG.

Purchased LFC24786ST from Lowe's. Lowe's staff was very good but LG customer service was terrible. The fridge compressor emits a high frequency noise that is horrible. LG denies they have ever had any problems with this. The delivery company who brought the replacement model told us he just replaced the same fridge for another customer because of the same problem. I will not purchase another LG product and recommend others go to another brand with another compressor.

LG service lacks timeliness. I bought an LG French door refrigerator which we put in service three years ago (in 2015). Since that time we have had the circulation fan replaced in 2017 and the compressor failed in 2018. We have now been waiting for three weeks to have the compressor replaced and it appears we will be yet a fourth week before we have a technician here to perform that work. Took 2 weeks to get the tech out to diagnose and order the parts needed, another week to get the part and set up another appointment, then the appoint was cancelled because a plastic part I could snap on myself was not yet on hand. Like I said: Now looking to be 4 weeks (maybe) before I once again have another functioning refrigerator. NOT HAPPY!

We bought a wonderful french door stainless LG frig with all the features we wanted. Twice we woke up and the fridge temperature was above 45F. We thought that we left a door open or the power had gone out. On the third time - with water everywhere in the kitchen and the interior temperature above 50F we called LG and asked for repair. The fridge is less than 15 months old and we paid $2975. It took most of the day to get through all of the automated phone questions, when we finally spoke to a person they said that they would arrange for a repair company to contact us.

Purchased this LG refrigerator 3 years ago and now it appears that the compressor has failed. Called LG, Nick said they would send a technician but the tech did not show up on the scheduled time. Called LG and they said the address is apparently wrong. They can't reach their own techs at all? Said, they would call me by the end of the day to see if the tech ever showed. Compressor fail at 3 years seems to be the breakdown date is what I am seeing via other complaints. Food is getting tossed out and looks like the repair may cost be as much as the refrigerator.

Refrigerator was less than 4 years old and all the internal parts needed to be replaced. Their warranty claims 5 years but I just paid Sears $355.00 for labor. Do yourself a favor and do NOT buy an LG product!!

LG Black Stainless Model #LFXC24726D - I have had my doors replaced twice. Last week the tech David ** here in Northern California came out to replace the freezer and one refrigerator door. When he replaced the freezer door he chipped the plastic on the freezer prying the old paint skin off. Then he scratched the new skin by the handle in the corner. It looks like the new skin that was replaced on the freezer doesn't fit this model because now all that you can see where the handles are is the white plastic. I called within 15 minutes of David leaving to complain about the chipped plastic. He came back to the house, took pictures and sent it on to customer service in Alabama to Jessica the Executive Supervisor.

Just want to chime in here... I just googled "I hate my LG refrigerator" and am shocked to see so many people PUT OUT, financially, time-wise, logistically... for these EXPENSIVE refrigerators! I had a perfectly good 'ole side-by-side Whirlpool. Didn't like the freezer, too narrow, couldn't even fit a frozen pizza without taking it out of the box... you probably all know what I'm talking about. So my husband buys me this (visually) great-looking LG French door fridge, Christmas last year. 28.8 cubic feet, white and sassy. Patty's in love! Supposedly $3000 but on sale for $1800 at Brandsmart. Still a pretty penny, and I added a 5-year warranty.

French door LG refrigerator is junk! A year and half old and we're on our third repair. Apparently it's the compressor, which was replaced both times, only to stop working again after a few days. Can't believe these are still sold in stores! Now I'm just waiting for my microwave, dishwasher and range to break. Never ever again will I purchase LG appliances.

I purchased a brand new 36" door in door refrigerator. It died after just 28 months. It was out of warranty but LG offered me a "out of warranty" deal. I paid $320 to have the problem repaired no matter how big or small it was. After 4 weeks of waiting, countless phone calls and emails, I found out that LG do NOT have one single company who will repair their appliances be it under warranty or not! The products look nice but they are all JUNK! Absolutely no service, warranty or satisfaction whatsoever. At the same time I purchased the refrigerator, I also bought a over the range microwave, dutch oven and dishwasher. I got less than 2 months out of the dishwasher before the "black stainless steel" started to peel!!! LG should not be allowed to operate! This business is horrible!

Our LG LFXS24623 fridge experienced a compressor failure at 2 years after purchase. LG shows a 10 year warranty on the compressor however that is on the parts ONLY. I spent $400 for a Sears tech to install the "free" part. According to the tech he is replacing compressors on LG fridges constantly and there is a class action lawsuit against LG for compressor failures. In addition to the compressor issues, the ice maker is faulty and requires constant fidgeting to make it work. This is another known issue on LG products. The only thing worse than the design/build quality on LG appliances is their customer service. They are in some foreign country, they read off a script, are extremely unhelpful, will not pass you to a supervisor on request, etc. Life is definitely NOT GOOD with LG.

15 months old. Motherboard was replaced. The freezer went out once motherboard was replaced. In one week. Now I’m being told the coils and parts that hold the Freon has to be replaced and it will cost 300.00 in labor. I just paid 300.09 for the last part and they want me to pay 261.00 for labor of the last part. That’s Sears which is a whole story on it’s own. Don’t buy LG and don’t buy from Sears!!! EVER!!!

Food was spoiling but thermostat reading were within normal limits. I had a refrigerator repair done and was promptly quoted the replacement price for a new compressor. This is such a common problem that the repair profession knows the price off the top of his head. Not only was the compressor dead but the thermostats were dead too. I have chased LG for weeks without resolve. I do not believe they have any intention of resolving this issue. I am now forced to repurchase a new refrigerator and the refrigerator is only seven years old! I will never buy an LG product again! I RATE LG AS A ZERO. They should be barred from businesses in the USA!

Bought online Costco store. Paid over $2000.00. Both fridge and freezer sections died suddenly in less than 3 years. LG sent repaired person first visit "Nothing wrong" (But frozen meat are become soft.) Second visit he did something. It works but not as cold as you expect. In next few months again stopped working. I am so tired of cleaning out rotten food, dairy, meat and seafood. I never had such problem with GE or Kenmore. I will never buy LG anymore. So happy to have big fridge with bottom freezer, door in door latest style. I have not even call this time yet. Just finish clean up all inside this Fridge.

I bought this expensive refrigerator 4 years ago thinking that the more you spend the more reliable. However so untrue. Last year during thanksgiving It broke down. I bought an extra warranty but LG said the compressor was not warranted and I’d have to pay for it myself. I paid for it alright. Ever since the compressor went out I’ve had to pay for a repair man to come to fix it 4 times now. I came home yesterday and found water on the floor. For as much as I have paid on repairs I could have had a brand new refrigerator. So now I’m going to be wise and stay away from LG.

call, plus labor. They sent a compressor out that morning before the service man got there. In talking with the guy he said they knew it was the compressor. It would $225 to fixed. He said he did three a day. The company know this is a problem.

We bought our first LG refrigerator three years ago after studying online reviews (not customer reviews, quality reviews) that convinced us LG was making the best appliances available. Those reviews were dead wrong. Our refrigerator made very loud vibrating noise immediately. We had a service person come out within the first two weeks. He ordered a replacement part and came out again several weeks later to install. That “fix” failed. It became increasingly difficult to get LG to respond to our concerns. After a year of complaining pointlessly to LG we went back to the retailer whose immediately agreed to replace the refrigerator, to our pleasant surprise. Unfortunately, we made the mistake of accepting a new LG refrigerator on the assumption that our first LG was merely an unaccountable lemon.

My LG Refrigerator is 3 years old and the compressor went out which is a common problem. LG has the worst service I have ever had. After two weeks they put in a new one. Service man left and 1/2 Hr. later the compressor blew again. LG said it has to happen 3 times before it's considered a lemon. For $3000 it dies in 3 years and a new compressor dies after 1/2 hour. I'd say that's a lemon. I have to wonder if they're just refurbishing the bad compressors and not doing a good job at that. If it's a major problem why wouldn't you make a good replacement instead? The replacements die faster than the original. LG has terrible customer service and they can't get you off the phone fast enough. Will never purchase LG again and strongly recommend if considering one think twice. I wish I had seen reviews like this to have saved me from purchasing a nightmare. Now I worry about my other appliances.

I sure wish I came here before purchasing my LG LFXS29626 refrigerator... As has been noted, a little over 2 years (gee, there's a 2 year warranty... hmmm), the fridge died. puddles on the floor, which I thought might be from the water filter, began forming... Before I realized it wasn't cooling, $500 worth of food had to be tossed into the trash... 1 week later, a service guy "fixed" it (replaced the compressor, added coolant)... it now rattles, and it isn't cooling... they are coming back again on Weds (5 days from now) to try to fix it again... I don't have much faith. One thing I will say... CALL LG. They covered the labor and the part, despite being past the 2 years. Don't let them tell you they'll cover the part but not the service, as this problem is PREVALENT, and they are (I'm sure) just trying to avoid a class action lawsuit at this point.

We purchased an expensive LG French Door Refrigerator LFXS30766S/02 October 31, 2015. Two weeks and a half weeks ago (at not even three years old), the ice in the door melted all over the floor. Then, the whole thing died. I called LG and was told that someone would call back in 3-5 business days to schedule an appointment. No one called. A few days later, two huge boxes from FedEx randomly showed up. They sent a compressor and two other parts without even looking at it. Still no call. After reading an overwhelming amount of complaints/reviews and finding out that no one around here is willing to work on LG, we decided to just purchase a new refrigerator.

I purchased new LG fridge Feb 2018. The ice maker quit 3 months later in late May. I have been calling LG as the ice maker is still under the warranty. LG has scheduled 2 different repair shops and I took a day off from work each time. Each time no repairman showed up. When I called the repair shop they simply said "We do not work for free. LG does not pay us." Well I'm confused now and I'm still calling LG to find a repairman to fix my ice maker - it is now October 11, 2018... This was not a cheap fridge...

My 2 year 10 month old LG 32 cubic foot fridge stopped cooling on Saturday. No codes on the display, the entire fridge just stopped cooling. Had service person out where I purchased it, part covered, labor is not. Then he said it will take about 10 days to get the part. Must be taking a slow boat from Korea? I have come to the conclusion that there is no quality in anything manufactured these days - they are built to break down within a couple of years. The fact you have to buy extended warranties on such high priced appliances is a sad statement about the manufacturing industry!

Bought a new LG from Lowe's June 2016. Compressor is going out. It comes and goes. LG said they would fix it at no charge. They just have to find a service co. 4 days and they can't find anyone yet. One company they referred said they refuse to do work for LG because they only pay $200 for a $1000 job. So they would only fix it if I paid $1000. Told LG company that and they said they’d try to find someone else. Now my LG is working so I decided to get a home warranty for $700 and hopefully it will continue to work for the next 30 days.

I bought an LG "door in a door" refrigerator February 2015. Within a few months the compressor broke. I called LG and they refused to fix it. After numerous calls and getting the credit card company involved, who rescinded my payment, they replaced the compressor. One month later, the compressor broke again. Mind you this is happening in the middle of summer. First they couldn't get the part then they couldn't get a technician. After a couple of months and $500.00 worth of lost food (which was never paid for), they replaced the compressor.

Bought this refrigerator/freezer combo a few years ago. Nothing but problems. The ice maker freezes up all the time, the drain pipe freezes up all the time so that water leaks out onto the floor. Poorly designed. Do not buy. They even ask for prepayment for service calls.

I purchased this mid 2016. The compressor just went out. I called LG and Sears. The part is covered and not the labor. They only warranty for 1 year. Compressor is still under warranty but tech wants $650 to install. It is a $1300 refrigerator. It should have lasted longer than this. I have a new baby and a diabetic in the house. I don't have the means to repair. I am forced to using a ice chest and hoping the insulin will be ok. I am still paying on this piece of worthless junk. This should not happen to a fairly new product. Very disappointing. What happen to appliances lasting years before something went out. Really bad quality control. I expected more from LG!

I bought an LG french door fridge with bottom freezer. After just under a year, the ice machine went and I had to have it replaced. This was covered under warranty. However, my fridge is not quite 3 years old yet and the Linear Compressor went. LG told me the part is under warranty, but labor is not. So, I waited a week for the technician to come out and have a look at the fridge. He told me that the part is only about $150 (but covered under warranty), but the labor would cost me about $900 plus to fix and he couldn't even guarantee that it would work after. He told me to just buy a new fridge. So I spent $2300 not even 3 years ago and have to buy a new fridge. LG will not replace it.

We bought a nice LG refrigerator 26 months ago and the linear compressor went out, luckily fixed under extended warranty. The problem is the replacement compressor is the same and according to others likely only to last 2 years. 4 year life is not what we wanted out of an expensive fridge so as soon as this next compressor fails we will have to do better research into our next purchase.

2 years old. No cooling or freezing. Technician out 6 times. Technician replaced every part. Still not working. No refrigerator for 3 weeks because they don’t know how to fix it. Home Depot Protection Plan useless. Won’t honor lemon law. Don’t buy LG and definitely not a Home Depot Service Plan.

Noisy $4,000 fridge! LG refrigerators are noisy. The linear compressor runs constant and makes a humming and ringing noise that you can hear from other rooms. The LG Customer Service is awful, and they give you run around when you call...on phone for hours! Do not buy LG - horrible experience, and no resolution in sight.

This has been by far the worst customer service I ever experienced. Our LG refrigerator just stopped running. We only had it for about 7 months. We contacted them and they have strung us along for over 2 months now. No one has repaired it and they have not replaced the unit. We keep getting told we will get a call in 3-5 business days each time we contact them. They never get back to us. We still don't have a refrigerator and this is still under a warranty. It's horrible living without a refrigerator for this long. We had so much food go bad when the thing stopped working. It's already been a huge expense. LG has made this so difficult for us and we still are not getting the customer service we deserve and still have a broken fridge all under WARRANTY that they do not stand by. I will never purchase an LG anything ever again in my life. Worst service ever.

Caution!!! Do not buy this product. LG takes advantages of consumers. My compressor went out after 2 going on 3 years. The customer service is offshore which is not a problem if you can get warranted assistance. I am currently living on a ice chest and takeout. Went three months with a diagnosis only process to have a replacement compressor installed 9/28/18. The replacement compressor lasted until 9/28. This time when the part broke water spilled on to my hardwood floors of my newly remodeled kitchen. Guess what? I have to start the diagnoses series again. I guess I will be waiting another three months to have this compressor issue addressed. This is a warning!! Do not buy their product. Signed by a $3,000 victim.

I purchased a French door stainless steel unit, Model number LFX31925ST. The compressor stopped working. I contacted LG, we went through a series of diagnostics, and the LG technical support folks confirmed that the compressor was the likely culprit, and that the compressor was under warranty. The first two service providers provided by LG would not service my unit. I called back. I got another LG recommended provider who did come out and perform a diagnostic, confirming not only had the compressor failed, but that the heat during the failure melted the internal coils, rendering the unit in their opinion "non-repairable". This report was sent to LG tech support.

Purchased a brand new 4 door refrigerator model LMXS30776S and in less than 6 months the water dispenser is already damaged/scratched. I complained to LG and of course they chalk it up to normal wear and tear not covered under warranty. I was sadly mistake into thinking I was paying for a quality product but instead I ended up with cheap material and bad customer service. I should have done my research because I found out after the fact, LG has major issues with their refrigerator line and possible legal action was taken against them for it. Buyer beware.

We have had our LG French door refrigerator for 5 years. We paid $2,000 plus for it. It is now useless. We cannot get anyone to work on it. All the appliance repair places say they will not work on them. The companies LG recommended can't buy parts because their account is "on hold". Got a repair estimate today for $1,200 and he said we had to buy the parts ourselves. LG will not sell us parts. We still had to pay for the service call. We have lost most of the food in our refrigerator over the last 2 days. Please do not buy LG.

I bought a new LG Refrigerator in May 2018. Within a month, I started having issues with the refrigerator. It started making a very loud noise & had cooling issues. I called LG customer service, as it was under a manufacturer's warranty. For last 2.5 months, LG could not even repair the refrigerator or provide a replacement. Highly unprofessional customer service, as the updated provided by them changes every week. Considering my experience, I will never buy LG products.

Bought a beautiful black stainless steel LG refrigerator for around $3500.00 two years ago. I researched for six months before purchasing. I wanted the best I could afford since it has a pretty important job. I have a child with severe allergies so I needed a big fridge for her special food. We finally decided to get the biggest and best on the market. I read bad reviews on Samsung and good ones on LG. Now just two years later I join the millions of other dissatisfied LG customers who had their compressor completely go out and ruin food worth hundreds.

I bought a brand new LG refrigerator LFXS30766D in May 2015. Last month it did not make any cool air, as the result all my foods end up in the garbage can. I called LG, they dispatched a technician first time for diagnostic. Then the tech came back the second time with a new compressor. They charged me about $400 plus for part and labor. Well, the refrigerator then was running fine for about three weeks. After that the compressor made some noise. I had to unplugged it a few times with a hope making differences.

I purchased this refrigerator in April, 2017. In August, 2018 the refrigerator and freezer stopped working on a Thursday. A tech guy came on Monday and said it was the compressor and installed a new one. It still did not work. He came back and said there was a leak in the coil and he would be back on Friday. He installed the new coil and it still does not work. This is now over a week and I still do not have a working refrigerator. He is supposed to come back again tomorrow, Saturday, to do what? This is a lemon, plain and simple. I will never buy a LG product again.

I spent $2,000 on an LG refrigerator in October of 2016. It has not worked since April of 2018. I have made over 30 calls to LG. They have sent 4 technicians out to repair. Each technician has said it is unrepairable and sent necessary paperwork to LG for replacement. I have even submitted a report with the BBB and sent all necessary receipts for fridge and lost food like they requested for replacement and compensation for food lost. LG said they would call back within 5 days and take care of. NOTHING. I have now called 5 times in the last week and even if you get someone to answer - they ask the SAME THING "give us your email address so we can send you link to a website to upload your proof of purchase." They NEVER send you an email!! Lies, lies, lies!!! They are crooks!! Their product is junk and their customer service is even worse!! Beware - NEVER buy an LG product!!

In May 2016 we purchased a Kenmore side by side door in door refrigerator. Little did we know that it was actually a LG refrigerator with a Kenmore label. The Refrigerator stopped working in July of 2018 after just a little over two years. We called Sears Service, and got the bad news that our warranty was for only one year. The repair would cost $800. We foolishly went ahead and trusted them to repair it promptly. It took them 3 weeks to order parts and schedule a technician. The technician did a poor job and the new compressor was making noise and not cooling. They had to reorder parts and another technician which took another 4 weeks. The second technician eventually fixed it. Now we are keeping our fingers crossed to see how long it will work.

We purchased an LG French door stainless refrigerator in September of 2016 (did not take delivery until mid October). On September 19, 2018 we woke up to a defrosting freezer and non-functioning refrigerator, in under two full years of use. LG customer service told me the part is covered under the sealed system warranty, but labor is not. They offered to cover labor “as a courtesy,” but they did not have a technician available. They gave me the phone number of an authorized repair center and an “APN” number, but when I called I was told they are not currently taking repairs for LG because they have a 3 WEEK backlog.

I purchased a brand new LG refrigerator in December of 2015 from H. H. Gregg (who went bankrupt shortly after my purchase therefore making the extended warranty null and void). Sunday morning September 23, 2018 I woke up to find a puddle in front of the freezer compartment (it's a side by side). I opened the freezer to find everything defrosting rapidly. I put everything in the refrigerator side (which seemed cold). Within the day I realized the refrigerator wasn't working either.

I purchased a LG French door refrigerator at the end of 2016. The refrigerator was very noisy and the engine run nonstop. I assumed that it was because I went from a basic refrigerator to this super fancy fridge. Big mistake. The refrigerator started leaking. I called LG and they had an excuse after excuse. I called Home Depot where I purchased the fridge and they referred me back to LG. The fridge comes with a 10 year guarantee on the compressor. The compressor went out on May 2017 and I called LG again and again. They put me on hold for hours at a time. They promised to send someone to fix it. Here I am over 4 months later and no answer. I had to buy a new fridge. I paid almost $2000 for a piece of junk. Please do your research if you are thinking about buying LG products. The quality of the products stink. I hope to join a class action suit and get my money back one day. Thank you.

This LG manufacturer has to be the worst experience of customer service I have ever had in my life. I have been trying to contact customer service, the supervisor of LG and all they kept doing is lying to me and promised me a courtesy refrigerator bin and told me I would get a call from the supervisor. In 3 days they haven't called. I called them back and told them what happened. They gave me confirmation numbers 3 times and kept me on hold for 40 minutes just to get through a supervisor, the customer service agent told me she will just email me a order # to my email. I checked my email and there is no email from LG. I called again and told me, "We cannot send you the bin cause your warranty expired. "There you go more lies from LG.

My 35 month-old LG fridge model LFC22770SW compressor has failed and apparently an "LG compressor certified technician" must do the repair - but there isn't one in the whole Toronto/GTA!! LG keeps having me call service centres that don't come to my area...looks like I am one of many (who will never buy another LG product and will pass this on). Four days now...

Purchased a new LG French Door Refrigerator, over $3,500.00 with water and ice dispenser on the door. Refrigerator is only a few years old and I am working on my second service call. Cooling stopped working, freezer stopping working, ice cubes stored in the door melted and ran through the door and all over my floor. My freezer drawer was completely full and all frozen food unthawed, what a mess! All contents of the main refrigerator had to be thrown out. Services calls, replacing parts and replacing the lost food turns into an expensive venture. Extremely disappointed that manufacturers are unable to produce quality appliances in today's world. I am certain Quality Control does not exist at LG. They know how to assess a price tag and take the consumer's money!

I purchased a counter depth LG refrigerator in December, 2015. Approx 2 yrs later the refrigerator started making a loud buzzing sound. A short time later, the refrigerator and freezer stopped cooling. Lowe's gave me credit to rent a refrigerator for 30 days while the repair was handled. It took 29 days for the part to come in and be installed. The repair tech stated his work was done, but he has no confidence in LG parts, since every condenser he has repaired in the past 3 months has been an LG. Only TWO days later, the freezer stopped working again. I called Lowe's and they said we need to start the whole process again. Despite every indication it will fail again, Lowe's will only replace once 3 repairs are done on the same issue. I have only 10 weeks left in my warranty, so I guess I better start saving for a new refrigerator.

After two and a half years, this $2,000 refrigerator would not dispense water or ice. We had three people out to try to repair and none of them could. We called LG who told us to call a certified repair person but no offer to stand behind their product. We are now making our own ice and using water out of the kitchen faucet rather than spend more money on this piece of junk. After reading these other reviews, we should soon be experiencing no cooling or freezing to take place at which time we will buy a new refrigerator of any other brand.

It stopped cooling. When contacted they said they don't have technicians to send and need to wait. They can't say when they can schedule. I'm still waiting and it's been 9 days. They are avoiding calls and not helpful. What type of company/service is this and they are not selling their parts either. Lost so much and very disappointing and disgusting. Will never ever go with LG again.

We are joining the rest of duped LG purchasers. We purchased a French Door refrigerator LFX28968SB in 2015 and on 9-19-18 we had to throw food out and are now using a cooler with ice to keep essentials. The refrigerator and freezer stopped cooling. We contacted the store where we bought it and a service tech came out on 9/20/18 and said there was nothing he could do. "It ** the bed". I called customer service (which the rep was rude) and she stated we needed to have a "certified LG tech" look at it and they need to submit the repair request. She gave the one, which there seemed not to be more than 1 in RI.

We purchased LG french door refrigerator LFXS29626W from Home Depot on 11/17/15 for over $2000. We loved the refrigerator until 9/14/18 when we discovered the refrigerator was not cooling, the ice maker not working, the freezer not working, and food in the freezer thawed. My husband spent many hours on the phone, only to find nobody willing to service LG refrigerators. Upon reviewing the horror stories experienced by very, very many other owners of LG refrigerators, we decided to simply cut our losses and purchased a new Kitchen Aid refrigerator from a local family owned store. Our over $2000, less than 3 year old LG refrigerator will be going to the recycler.

We live in Westchester County in NY. I spent $3,000 on a counter-depth french door with linear compressor, the model number was LFXC24726S. Well, it only lasted two and half years, then suddenly one day it stopped cooling. Contacted LG directly and they told me to call a local "authorized" repair shop for a checkup. It took days for the local shop to answer my phone call and then another few days for a appointment. The technician told me the linear compressor was gone and needed to be replaced. Also the circuit board was faulty, it resulted in lower voltage than normal. Although the compressor was covered under the warranty, its value was only $360. It is the labor to replace it my friend that is expensive, about $1100. Even if I had it fixed, it's not guaranteed to last another year. So I just decided to buy a new one. This time it's not going to be LG.

I purchased a beautiful French door refrigerator (Model LFXC24796S) from the Home Depot in November 2017, by September 2018, the compressor has already gone out on this fridge. I purchased the extended warranty through Home Depot and the soonest they could send someone out was three days later to look at it. I was told parts had to be ordered because the compressor went out and it would take 3-5 business days. It has now been day 5 and I have received no contact from the service people and Home Depot and LG are giving me the runaround.

My 2 year old LFXS24566S refrigerator is not cooling. When contacted LG support on Monday (17th Sep). They informed me to book LG technician via LG Purchase flat rate option. I prepaid and chose a technician to come on 19th Sep. I waited the whole day and when no one showed up I called to find out what’s happening. Then I was told that they don't have qualified technicians to support my issue and my money will be refunded. I insisted that I speak to a manager/supervisor, Englebert who promised to follow up and schedule someone to come. Up to now no one has called or no follow-up. Wish I knew this product better before purchasing. Guess I'm paying the price for going with LG brand. NEVER recommend this product to anyone...

This company is a joke! Just look at all the 1 star complaints. Where were these reviews when 'I' purchased? Well, the refrigerator was a brand new model with a brand new design called a linear compressor. This so-called ‘energy saver’, has been verified a complete disaster. It was faulty from day 1 and all the technicians will agreed. LG has since redesigned it, so now instead of 1 1/2 to 2 years, it is made to last up to 3 years before it fails. Save on energy? Perhaps, but you will pay through the nose on faulty parts every couple of years. It will cost you at minimum of $1,000 for the compressor to be replaced and a bit less to have your motherboard replaced when it fails.

I bought my LG refrigerator in December of 2016 and it’s only October of 2018 less than 2 years and the front of my refrigerator is leaking an acid type of stuff and all LG said was that I needed to pay for it out of my pocket because they only give a 1 year warranty. I told them if it was from wear and tear I could see that but this could be VERY HARMFUL to have an acid type of substance coming out of my refrigerator. So I would not under any circumstances buy this product. Model LSXS26366S / 02.

The expensive refrigerator with French doors, we have had at least 5 repair calls, the ice/water dispenser leaked and the double doors at the freezer froze up and couldn't open doors. The company has not replaced the unit, they did replace the doors and they didn't work also. The repairman said nothing more he could do. They are ducking me, putting me on hold for almost an hour each time I call. I will never buy another LG product.

We purchased this unit from Lowe's in Jan 2018. By July the plastic water/ice dispenser lever was broken. I've called many times & was given various work order #'s. They kept giving me the runaround. It's now mid-Sept & I still have no resolution or answers. They refer me to repair places. The repair places tell me I need a different Work order #. I call LG back, they say they will escalate & call me back in 5 business days. I always have to call them back after 7 business days. Then I get the same story "we're so sorry this is happening to you", "I will take care of it". The customer service is so bad, the product made so cheaply I would never purchase another LG product again. Overpriced & full of excuses.

I bought one of LG's “French door” models in July 2014. The compressor has already gone out. Initially, I really liked the unit, with the exception that the ice maker in the door did not stay cold enough and the ice melts together and has to be thrown out every few days. I was willing to overlook this because the rest of the refrigerator worked great. Produce stays fresh for several weeks.

Nice and big refrigerator broke 13 months after owning, compressor was bad. Spent over $2,000, took out an extended warranty another $250, a year later another compressor. What is wrong with this picture, this is America, why can't we get satisfaction from a company selling faulty merchandise. Don't BUY LG, it is crap, I heard there was a class action suit, I called the attorney's office handling this and they said it was dismissed and had no further information. Come on, really, this is a real issue and people deserve to be compensated for being taken advantage of.

We brought a LMXS30776S30.0 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel French Door Refrigerator, for $5000 + 3 warranty. As soon as the warranty was over the refrigerator went out... The open window to renew the warranty was maybe a month... I guess they know how cheap their products are to only give us a couple of weeks to renew the warranty. I only wished that I had read the reviews before I brought their cheaply made refrigerator. Now I’m stuck with a big piece of junk. According to the other reviews, if I fix it...it will break down again???

Because the defrost heater went out after the 1 yr warranty, I had to pay to have the defrost heater replaced which cost me $400. It has been a little over a year and it's freezing up all up under the crispers and deli tray again. Ice everywhere. LG does not back their products. I guess I can expect to pay $400 every year to have this part replaced. I won't ever buy an LG product again.

$2500 refrigerator lasted 32 months - After our ice maker started squirting water everywhere and freezing up, we were told we'd need a whole new door to the tune of $600. While we were waiting for the door to ship, the whole fridge stopped cooling. Everything in the fridge and freezer was ruined. The Geek Squad diagnosed the problem as a "sealed system issue," which they are not allowed to work on. Parts, but not labor, are covered by LG, but you have to find your own repairman, and then LG will eventually send them an authorization letter to do the work.

We spent $2,022 on an LG French Door refrigerator in May, 2012. The compressor went out in April, 2018 but was covered under a 10-year warranty. LG stated they would not send the new compressor directly to us, they would only send it to an LG authorized service provider, who would come to our home and the repair and labor would be 100% covered. After 3 months of calling (and never hearing back from their maintenance department as repeatedly promised) we said we wanted a certificate for a new refrigerator. LG stated that they needed the original proof of purchase, which we provided via download to them at least 5 times. Then we were told we’d get a refund for the refrigerator since this MAJOR household appliance had been broken for over 3 months and I’d receive an email from them within 5 business days that would detail the refund process.

Have a two year old $3,500 LG French door refrigerator rebranded as Kenmore. A year ago, the compressor went out. Parts were back ordered and we had it up and running after SIX weeks. Not even a year later, it stopped cooling again. This time, they say it's the condenser/evaporator. Again it takes six weeks to get it running. It runs for three days and quits again. Finally it has been deemed unrepairable as there is a leak in an internal (sealed) component. We have been without a working refrigerator for three months out of the last year and have lost hundreds of dollars of food in the process. DO NOT BUY LG!

RE: LG French door refrigerator - inverter linear compressor, made in China. Purchased from Costco in Aug 2016. Ice maker and freezer went out September 2018 - 3 weeks after the warranty expired. Fortunately - We have a backup 10 year old KitchenAid fridge. Advice: stick with Kenmore or KitchenAid - don’t waste your money on LG.

Purchased May 2016. As others mention here, started failing a few months ago by not making ice. Now not cooling as expected. LG CS asked for a service call $110 to tell me the compressor is bad and that I am out of warranty. They told me the compressor is warranted but I would have to pay ~$500 for installation. After they forced “The Hulk” out of me, they asked me to upload my invoice and they were going to request full warranty coverage. A week and multiple calls later, no resolution. I paid little over $3k for this fridge, expecting at least 10 years out of it. Please avoid this company...

LG does not live up to the warranties they promise. My $2K French Door refrigerator stopped working 8/24/18. I have been calling them since that date to get it fixed. They give you a total runaround and try to get "service fees" out of you for problems they create. They are a totally inept irresponsible product company and I only wish I'd known what a joke their products and associated warranties are when I spent my hard earned $2K on the crappy refrigerator which broke in 7 years and was suppose to be warrantied for 10 years. THEY ARE AWFUL - STEER CLEAR!!

Well our fridge is a year and half old and the compressor is bad. I can't believe that something we spend your hard earn money on is not working already. Thank God I caught it when I did or we have at least a couple hundred dollars of food gone to waste. Would not recommend LG to anyone. Buyer beware as the warranty may cover the compressor but we may have to pay to get it installed. And it's not a cheap install either.

We have had our refrigerator for ten months and the compressor went out. They couldn't find anyone to get it serviced and gave me the runaround. No one speaks English well and they were having a party in the background.

We purchased a $2700 LFX33975ST piece of junk in 2014. The first repair for an error code resulted in a non-working fridge for 3 months because the part was on back-order and cost us over $500 to repair. Three months later the freezer is working but the fridge will not cool below 46 degrees. The repair shop spent over 90 minutes on the phone with an LG technician discussing possible solutions. 1 - Replace the main motherboard ($200) plus installation. 2 - Replace the thermistor. The technician did not recommend any of those solutions because there is some underlying issue with ALL of these refrigerators that they are not telling us. I have checked the fan (working), the fuse on the circuit board (good), and the compressor (working). Ultimately, the suggestion from BOTH LG and my repair shop BUY A NEW FRIDGE BUT NOT LG or SAMSUNG.

I am extremely disappointed with LG's products and its service, esp. its service. Everyone that I talked to and who had purchased a LG product previously had sworn that they will never buy another LG product again. Now I know why, my 2 year old refrigerator has been broken for over a month now and LG service center is still unable to find someone that is willing and can fix the refrigerator. Every time I called the service support center, I always received the excuse that, "Your case has been elevated to the top level of the support group and we are looking for someone to fix your refrigerator." It's past 4 weeks already and I live in a big city. If there is someone that can fix it, you would have found it by now. The issue is my refrigerator is not easily fixable and LG is unable to find anyone to fix it. They finally located someone to come by and evaluate the problem about 3 weeks ago.

If I were able to give zero stars I would. I purchased a $2500 LG refrigerator 2 years ago and it has also had compressor issues. LG is fully aware of this malfunction yet they are not pulling these off of the market. Their customer service staff is rude as well. I highly recommend you never purchase from this company.

Purchased refrigerator 3 years ago and came home 2 1/2 weeks ago to find that everything had defrosted. Was told it was a sealed system failure and since then haven't been able to get it fixed in a timely manner. Have been told it could take weeks to get a technician out to fix the issue because there are not a lot of places that fix sealed systems. LG refuses to replace refrigerator. I have called around to appliance repair centers and was told to throw it out because to fix a sealed system cost just as much as a new refrigerator. The people that I spoke with at LG were pleasant enough but could care less about customer satisfaction.

LG LFXC24726D purchased Nov 2015, sealed system failure Aug 2018. Sealed system parts under warranty but not labor. Doesn’t matter, because every authorized LG repair service we call refuses the appointment because LG owes them for multiple warranty parts reimbursements! What good is a warranty if no one will honor it? Need to stay up late to find a commercial for one of those class-action law firms. LG fails to stand behind their products. Meanwhile, it great to have spent thousands on a fridge and then have to revert to a dorm fridge.

I completely agree with the reviewer who said it's time for a class action suit. Repairman told me that when their so-called "sealed compressor" goes, it sends particles into the entire coolant system, often rendering them completely un-fixable. Mine is still under the parts warranty but not the labor (which *begins* at $500) and LG will only offer a "credit" toward another LG POS. It's unconscionable to pay thousands for a faulty design, that they've known for YEARS is problematic. If there's a class action, count me in and will never buy another LG product again.

I had the refrigerator for 4 weeks when a little part at the top of the door broke, easy fix right? Two months out and still cant get it fixed. I paid almost 200.00 for the extended warranty. Doesn't matter. LG is a scam company. THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS. Do not buy anything LG. And Home Depot did nothing to help either. It took a letter to their district manager and a complaint with the BBB to get a small response. As of today, nothing is resolved. I want my money back and nothing to do with an LG appliance again.

I wish I could rate this refrigerator LG French Door Bottom Freezer LFXS289685 with negative stars. We had this fridge for 2 years. It made vibrating noise and failed June 29, 2018. We have had 7 repair visits including 3 that included parts. They replaced the compressor, motherboard and evaporator 3X, they replaced the freezer sensor 2X, and the dryer 1X. Now 8/30, yes over 2 months later they (Sears Master Protection Warranty) are finally admitting defeat and opening a case for a replacement. Avoid this and the Sears Elite French door bottom freezer as they are also LG.

We purchased this refrigerator in December 2016. The first issue was the very typical water tube leak which caused cascading icicles in the freezer (LOWE'S was very helpful with this problem). A couple of days ago, the right top hinge came loose, causing the door to hit me in the chest. I had to support the door to prevent it falling completely off. We were able to reattach the hinge pin and duct tape it to prevent a recurrence. This could have had catastrophic results. Prior to the hinge pin coming out, the door had been difficult to close properly, but we could not see what was causing the problem. I will not purchase any more LG products.

My Kenmore fridge (made by LG) just went bad. It's less than 7 years old. Needs new compressor and then seal would never be right, as told by repair person. So I'm off buying another fridge. Won't be buying LG. I would join a class action lawsuit if someone starts one.

I think we should all join in a class action against LG. I'm currently on compressor #4 since April 2018 and LG still wants my warranty company Asurion to try another one. This should now have fallen into the lemon law on policy. First compressor installed in April stopped working end of June. Now Aug 27 and 3 more compressor installed still not working. I bought this unit April 2016 for $2600. Money down the drain.

LG LFXS29766S stopped cooling both on refrigerator & freezer today (21 Aug 2018). Bought it new 29 Jul 2015. Luckily I bought the store 4 year warranty. Repair came in, and I was right. He had to replace the compressor. My LG is working again but I anticipate my fridge to fail again in two years time. What a worrisome product! Repairman was awesome: in and out within 2 hours. He also knew about the first lawsuit that was dismissed. I asked him if there was any other way to convert their inverter type compressor to the traditional type or to a different brand but he said "no". I just hope my LG doesn't explode next... wait... that's Samsung. Lol. This ends my purchase of any Korean appliance product.

DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT, BUY LG!! We purchased an LG French Door Refrigerator in July 2014. Model #LFXS30766S/02. In June of 2017, the fridge stopped working, circuit board was replaced. Worked until August of 2018, repairman just left, after diagnosing that it has a "sealed system failure" and it would cost $1200.00-$1500.00 to fix. This fridge, mind you, cost $2300.00!! We have lost all the food in it and are presently living out of a cooler and a small "dorm-type" fridge to tide us over. I wish that I had done more research before we bought this lemon! We named it Voldemort, because it's evil! Do yourself a favor-do not buy anything LG! Evidently, they don't care about their customers or making a good product. Life is Good?? Not if you have the misfortune to own an LG product-especially a fridge!!

If I can save anyone from the aggravation I have been facing for the last month, I will be pleased. See https://www.consumeraffairs.com/homeowners/lg_refrigerator.html?page=24. If I could rate this is zero, I would. After reading some of these ratings, I find that I have to read more of these reviews to see if there are more cascading problems to expect because I do not want to put good money into a bad product.

I bought a French Door refrigerator in June of 2016. It completely stopped cooling in August of 2018. Called LG who sent me through some basic troubleshooting and gave me phone numbers to technicians that aren't helpful. One sound sketchy (answers the phone "Hello") and insisted I make an appointment thru a non-existent website or send an email to his Gmail. One said they won't service my town. One has yet to call me back. I called a reputable but non-LG-authorized repair service who said it would cost $1,200 for a new compressor and I would have to deal with LG myself (I think to buy the compressor).

Stay away from the refrigerator - we ordered through Home Depot and 3 days later there was a huge circle of condensation on the side of the fridge. It is clearly missing a piece of insulation on the left side of the refrigerator. Still awaiting response from LG, as Home Depot did nothing about the issue when we reported it to them 3 days after purchase! Their canned response of having 48 hours to refuse the product was insulting to us. How could we know the condensation would happen within 48 hours? We moved and didn't even plug it in right away. Awful, awful.

I Purchased my LG refrigerator in February 2015. The coolant leaked out of their lines & everything in my refrigerator was ruined. It is 75° inside the refrigerator. I called repair person. He said this is a very common problem with LG refrigerators. It is under a seven-year warranty for your sealed system but you have to pay $375 service fee for labor. Plus there’s at least a week wait for factory service tech to come to your house. They are very poorly made.

May 2018... My almost 2 year LG French door in black stainless steel stopped cooling. Find out because there was water all over the floor from the ice melting. Lost all my food from fridge and freezer. LG replaced the compressor which lasted 4 days and went out again so of course I lost more food. Had another technician come out and took apart the inside of the refrigerator and found there was a leak. He ordered the new part and LG contacted him and told him it wouldn't be in until the end of July.

First, I like the fridge. It's attractive and when it works, it works great. However, the "sealed refrigerant system", isn't. The week after the 1 year warranty ended, it stopped getting cold. Fine. Repair guy comes and refills refrigerant (didn't both checking for leaks or question how a sealed system lost its refrigerant). As expected, a few months later it dies again. He comes back and refills it, AND finds a leak which he repairs and replaces the compressor. Fast forward another year. Fridge dies again, and the saga with LG Customer support begins. I call. Explain the situation. The nice gentleman takes my info, says he's going to request a warranty extension to cover it. Then I wait. And wait. And wait.

Our refrigerator is less than 2 years old and the compressor went out. Our freezer MELTED and the compressor got so hot that it could have started a FIRE! We have been living out of an ICE CHEST for 7 days and we are getting the run-around by customer service and subcontractors. I understand that there was a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT against LG for defective compressors. I wish I had researched a bit more before purchasing an LG product. I give up. We are buying a new fridge today. It will NOT be an LG EVER. I will never buy another LG product again. I am disgusted by how we have been treated by LG. Their business model for maximizing profit is to "wait you out". Well you win LG.

Buy a very nice counter-depth LG refrigerator rebranded as a Kenmore. It was complete shot after five years. Sears tech made 7 trips over six month and could not fix what was initially determined the compressor. They finally deemed it unrepairable. I will never buy another LG product of any kind.

Worst Service provided by LG. Product got noise issue in just 1 month and it took 2 month for the service time to find issue and still there is no solution from past 20 days. I advise everyone, not go for LG product - GL-M322RPZL.
