    We purchased an LG refrigerator (model LSXS26326S) on April 28, 2016. It was delivered and installed on May 3, 2016. On July 30, 2018, it stopped working, ruining approximately $300.00 worth of food. We contacted the store of purchase (Home Depot), and were told because we did not purchase the extended warranty, we would have to pay for repairs. We then contacted LG's "customer service" line, and they directed us to a local LG authorized repair provider. They were going to charge $125.00 for a visit to assess the issue, and if the parts were covered by manufacturer's warranty, they would charge an additional $250 for labor... If not, who knows what the charge would be. Now, I understand wear and tear and paying for repairs, but a lightly used refrigerator (mostly just my wife and I in the home), breaking down after just two years of use, seems like faulty craftsmanship.

    I then went on LG's website and chatted, first with a representative, then with a supervisor, both of whom seemed less interested in a quality product than with pushing their warranties (which would not be as needed with a sturdy product). The bottom line was, they are not responsible for their product breaking after only two years, and we were responsible for any repairs. After this experience, I went on consumeraffairs.com and read numerous complaints of a similar vein, $1,500 - $3,000 refrigerators breaking after only a couple of years, with no support from LG. I received no help from LG, so I contacted my local news station's consumer affairs department in hopes of bringing to light LG's poor product quality and non-existing customer "service."

    The evaporator and compressor gave out on my LG fridge as well (LFXS29626S) and it appears many other people are having the same type of problem (coincidence? I don't think so... more or less the same timeline (2.5 years or so), same defective part (compressor)). It's also difficult to order the parts needed because they are back ordered. My previous fridge was a GE and never had this kind of problem. This needs to be rectified and LG to acknowledge that it has sold an unreliable appliance to consumers!

    LG fridge model #LFXS24623S went down over the weekend. Not cooling in fridge or freezer. Lost all food in both areas and I am not happy at all the way I see this company dealing with this inferior product. This cost me 2,500.00 dollars and is only 3 years old. There must be a LAWSUIT filed against this company to give customers a full refund. Not try to put a band-aid on it with replacing it with the same exact compressor that still continues to FAIL. I had my fridge technician come out and confirm what I already knew that it is shot. This is happening to hundreds if not thousands of customers with this fridge and they must be held liable for this mess. We all must stick together on this matter and file a lawsuit against this company. They cannot and will not get away with this. I am LIVID to say the least.

    We are having the same experience. Our LG LFXC24726D stopped working yesterday; it is less than 2 years old and cost more than $2,500. We cannot find a local repair person and we are leaving town for three weeks. All of the frozen and refrigerated food is spoiled, and our diabetic son's insulin is about to suffer the same fate, which means hundreds of dollars of medication destroyed. I am a public interest lawyer. Having read the reviews on this page, I am seriously considering filing a class action lawsuit.

    I purchased all the appliances in my kitchen LG 6 years ago. The Microwave broke two months ago and Now the refrigerator stop working two weeks ago. I contacted LG and the problem has not been solve. They changed the compressor but the freezer and ice maker is not working at all. I lost so far over the 300.00 in food, and I have to purchase food outside every day for the family because I don't have place to keep my food. I spoke with the technician and he doesn't have a clue what is going on. I think that their equipment has manuf issues that needs to be addressed by the company. I need a new refrigerator from them, otherwise I will get a lawyer this week and walk to their office in Englewood and solve my problem one way or other, but I need good equipment. What can I do?

    Less than 2 yrs old LFXS24663S stopped working. Lost $300+ of food. Luckily I had purchased the extended warranty. After a week of looking the warranty company cannot find anyone to do service so they issued a credit for me to purchase another refrigerator. So I am getting a different brand. Never again get anything LG. It seems like the controls are messed up or are out of calibration because the compressor is working and there is Freon in the system. But it is about 20* off on the fridge and 40* off on the freezer. I see many people with the same issue.

    We purchased an lxsc22396s refrigerator and it stopped working within 90 days. We purchased this refrigerator on 05/24/18 (paid over $2000 for it) and on 07/23/18, it stopped dispensing water, the ice melted, it stopped cooling, and cost us over $250 of spoiled groceries. We contacted LG and they sent out a technician who perform a reset and stated that it will start working in about a week. We contacted LG again to request a loner fridge until ours starts working again. Jovy from LG told us that they can't do anything about it and we just have to wait until they fix it. Very poor customer service from LG. We also submitted a request for a refund for $250 of spoiled food. They told us that all managers were busy and would call us back later in the day. They never called us back. We haven't had this refrigerator 90 days and it's already giving us problems and costing us money.

    I bought model LMXS30776S refrigerator in January 2015 from Home Depot with 3 years extended warranty. After 3 1/2 years it stopped cooling on 7/14/2018. Called Home Depot but they told warranty expired and they cannot do anything. After that I called LG customer support and they asked bunch of questions and finally connected with one agent. Again I answered all those questions to agent and asked him to schedule repair service.

    He told he cannot see the technicians schedule and he will give me a call whenever he can see their schedules. I am not sure what kind of software they are using which prevent them to see their schedules. They never called me back. They advised me to call every day between 2-4 PM CST to check any appointments available. This is really crap. Also gave another advice to work with local LG authorized dealer. They are another piece of crap. Got lot of negative reviews about them. Thanks LG. Stop selling expensive junk to our consumers.

    Original Review: July 19, 2018

    After only two years, my ice maker (LG side by side refrigerator) stopped making ice. I paid $125 for a technician to come out and discover that the water line to the ice maker was frozen. He thawed the line and told me that if it happened again, we may need to replace the freezer door. He knew automatically that the problem was with the freezer door but LG claims that there is no defect in the freezer door, nor is there a recall on the freezer door. They want me to pay $435 for the door plus the cost of labor. I refused to pay that amount on top of the money that I have already paid. That is entirely too much money for my refrigerator to make ice. LG also canceled my previously scheduled second appointment with the technician without my knowledge. I will never purchase another LG product and I do not recommend that anyone else does either.

    I really loved this refrigerator (LMXS30776S), lots of space, extra drawer for drinks, and the black stainless steel. We bought it 5/22/16, and the compressor went out on 6/29/18... we bought the extended warranty (thru HH Gregg). They had someone out 7/3 who said they weren't qualified to fix the compressor, and another company stood us up altogether. After hours spent on hold, and the warranty company saying it's now in a 'diff department'... I ended up live chatting with LG who gave me a list of their approved companies - out of 6 I finally have someone coming out to hopefully fix the compressor on 7/20. We paid $3461 (tax & warranty included) for this beautiful piece of worthless metal! I understand things break, but I think it's strange that some companies refuse to work on LG refrigerators or aren't 'qualified'. I would never recommend this refrigerator.

The fridge died - not cooling and the same issue with the Linear Compressor like everyone else, there is no local LG repair technician available in my area or the whole island - I live on Maui. Call LG customer service and spoke to 3 person, two from Philippines and finally talked to someone in Alabama, she is as bad - she said, “We can send you the parts and you have to find your own repairman!” Hello. There is NO one to service LG fridge on Maui. I asked to speak to supervisor or management - she basically told me no and she told me "LG management will NOT speak to the customers!".

    We purchased a French door LG refrigerator in Mar 2016. It was delivered and installed in Aug 2016. On Jun 15, 2018 the compressor went out. After an hour on the phone with LG customer service and contacting 12 different "LG authorized repair people", none offered Saturday service. We finally found a local guy, willing to work on an LG refrigerator (MANY appliance repair people state on the home page of their website that they DO NOT SERVICE LG REFRIGERATORS or their outgoing VM gives this information).

    Within seconds of having the freezer torn apart, he confirmed that the compressor was "out". We then spent the next two weeks, while on vacation, speaking with LG customer service and the repair person to TRY to get action towards a compressor replacement part before we got home. We arrived home to no compressor part and after ANOTHER call to LG customer service, found out that our claim had inexplicably been "closed"! WTH? I then "barfed" all over the LG USA Electronics Facebook page when the social media rep was able to get more information than 7 calls over two weeks with LG customer service had yielded. LG offered to pay for the part and the labor.

    Problem is NO LOCAL REPAIR PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO WORK WITH LG because they PAY SO LITTLE and this job will apparently take ALL DAY. So LG recommends this repair person who is an HOUR AWAY. It has now been two more weeks (yes, a whole month without a refrigerator or freezer in the heat of California summer) and STILL NO CALL that our repair is imminent. So today we call LG Customer Service again to find out the parts were delivered to the authorized LG repair person on Friday, July 13th and it is our responsibility to "work it out with the repair person". To say that I am FURIOUS is an understatement.

    I want LG refrigerators BANNED from sale in California because of faulty manufacturing and beyond horrific customer service. LG is committing fraud. We did our research before buying this refrigerator. LG refrigerators received favorable reviews. BUT NOT SINCE WE BOUGHT OURS. LG apparently made a good product when the manufacturing was in S Korea or Mexico. Since moving their manufacturing to China, however, we are in the MAJORITY of people complaining about the shoddy piece of junk LG refrigerators now are. I want our refrigerator repaired so I can get rid of it and purchase a quality KitchenAid or Whirlpool refrigerator. WILL NEVER BUY ANYTHING LG AGAIN AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE!!!

    My refrigerator is 6 months old. The Ice Maker at 2 months old started to produce metal/oil tasting ice. I called to have the unit looked at and they sent out a tech that agreed the ice was tasting like metal. He suggested replacing the water filter and I did. It solved nothing. I cleaned out the ice bin... solved nothing. Added baking soda as suggested by tech support... it solved nothing. Made sure food in the freezer was sealed in zip locks as suggested... it solved nothing. Water coming from the dispenser tastes fine, so obviously, somewhere in the Ice Maker unit, it's getting tainted.

    Basically, after 6 months (still under warranty) they refuse to send anyone to fix the stupid thing unless I agree to pay for the tech out of my own pocket because he found "nothing wrong" with the fridge despite he agreed the ice tastes like metal. I should have sent the entire unit back when I had it the first week and had to call for service... that issue was someone at the factory didn't plug in the compressor power cable. Horrible customer service, useless tech support, and terrible warranty policy. 6-month-old fridge with an Ice Maker I can't even use. Never will I purchase an LG product again.

    Purchased LG French Door Refrigerator LFXS24623 purchased in 2015 for $2400 from Home Depot. July 5, 2018 there was a puddle on water on the floor in front of the LG refrigerator. Upon opening the refrigerator and freezer, it was apparent that the refrigerator and freezer were no longer cooling. I lost between $400-$450 worth of food between the refrigerator and freezer. I consulted the manual and tried contacted LG customer service along with going through the troubleshooting in the manual and the couple that were available online with improvement to cooling. I spoke with LG customer service on July 9 and they gave to 3 authorized tech repair companies to call for service. I call all of them and none of them service my area.

    Please be advised that I do not live in a remote area. I called LG customer service back again with long waiting time again (10 minutes +) before speaking to anyone. I indicated to LG customer service that none of the authorized tech repair centers service my area. They gave me 3 more numbers to call for service and after calling them, none of those service my area. I began to call locate repair company to see if I could get anyone to come out. When they found out it was a LG refrigerator that indicated that they do not service LG refrigerators because LG parts rountinely take months to get, LG is very difficult to work with and when they do get the compressor and install for a customer, the compressor routinely fails again within 3 months.

    July 10, 2018 I called LG Customer Service to explain that they have given 6 authorized repair centers that do not service my area and I have call 8 local repair center on my own which will not service my $2400 LG refrigerator because parts take 3 months to get and because LG is so difficult to work with. I asked to speak to a supervisor because they have a 7 year warranty on compressor, evaporator, and condenser which are likely the problem and LG is not standing behind the warranty if no repair center will service and parts take 3 months to obtain. The supervisor couldn’t understand how this could happen even though there documented class action lawsuits in progress and many similar complaints all over the internet.

    The supervisor promised that they get a LG authorized tech schedule by LG, they would cover parts and labor due to the difficulty I had experience. They gave me a work order number, an approval number for the labor costs and the name of the company that would repair the frig/freezer and phone number that was going to be calling to schedule an appointment by the end of business day. At 4:15 pm I had not receive a call about scheduling the repair, so I call the company that LG was supposed to talk to personally and make that they would come out and repair my frig/freezer. Upon speaking to this company, they indicated that they did not receive any communication from LG about my repair and they do not repair LG refrigerators.

    I called LG customer service back and told they what I just found out after another 10 mins on hold. They would not let me speak to a supervisor and told me that they would escalate the problem to the next level and I would hear something back in 3-5 business days. Life is not good with LG. This is totally unacceptable and I am stuck with 3 year old LG Refrigerator and Freezer that does not work and I can’t get anyone to repair. Please do not buy LG products. BTW, my 28 year old Amana refrigerator in the basement is running just fine.

My problem is the food in the freezer thaws out then may or may not freeze again. I have the freezer currently set at -4. Doesn't help. I am expecting my 7? service Monday. The refrigerator is 2.7 years old. Have had issues since the first year. Just keeps getting worse. I am considering contacting a local news channel to see if they can help. I bought the extended warranty, but what does it matter? It is still not working! I was told the lemon law would come into play after replacing the same item more than three times. So they can just keep doing the guessing game until the clock runs out on the warranty!!

    I should not have to take the financial hit on a defective product. If anyone starts a class action suit post it! I feel like I am playing Russian Roulette every time I open the freezer. It is so stressful. Will today be the day I have to toss another freezer full of food away. Today was that day. When you call for service they don't seem to care about how stressful this is. I would be so happy if they repaired it right, but I think that ship has sailed. I want a new refrigerator or a credit to purchase a new one!! I am going to talk with an attorney next week. My warranty company is Asurion. My next purchase I will make sure it will never ever be an LG or buy an extended warranty with Asurion!!!!

They replaced the motor, but two years later the unit stopped cooling and freezing. Guess what?? The motor stopped. I called for the same issue. They want charge for service $400. I had the product for only 5 years and already is giving out like it's 20 years old. What makes it worst is they don't stand by their product. Don't be fooled by their 10-year warranty.

    We purchased our LG refrigerator last November. The ice maker stopped working in March. We were scheduled for service two weeks later. The night before it was to be serviced the refrigerator stops working altogether. I call the service company to give them a heads up that more parts will be needed only to be informed that LG doesn't give the repair service parts until they've been out to analyze the problem. The service representative comes out and says it's the power circuit board and orders a new one that takes four weeks to receive; another week to arrange the service appointment. The service rep (Jeff a good guy) returns to installs the boards and tells us all is well. The ice maker worked for three days and then stopped. I call the repair shop and was told that service can't come back out because LG has closed the ticket; so I have to call LG again.

    Jeff comes out to analyze the lingering problem to get the replacement part. We were told that the part is back ordered and expected delivery will be a month. Two months roll by without the delivery of the part. It is now July and the ice maker remains inoperable. While waiting for the part, in May we called the service shop to voice our concern about not having our functioning ice maker. The service shop told us that LG was likely going to replace or refund us for our refrigerator since the part is taking so long to arrive. We called LG and they said they needed a copy of our receipts for the refrigerator and they would send us a link to the LG service department. A couple of weeks later the service shop called and asked what was the status of the LGs replacement or refund on this ticket. I told the service shop I was still waiting for a link from LG to send receipts. She told me I should call LG again, which I did.

    LG said I had given them the wrong email address (my email address is my first and last name so essentially they were telling me I didn't know how to spell my last name). When I questioned why they thought I couldn't spell my last name and asked them to take ownership of the error they hung up on me. I sent in the copies of my receipts. LG never got back to me (as I had been promised). I asked them today (about a month after they had received the receipts) what was happening in regards to my replacement or refund and they said that since the part should be in next week, a replacement or refund was rejected.

    This action from LG is probably just a delaying tactic on their part. I've been hung up on about six times from their warranty service, usually after being on hold for over fifteen minutes just waiting for them to pick up after a transfer. They have promised me a call back on several occasions and I have yet to receive a call from them. Their product seems to be of low quality based on it failing within the first six months of operation. Their warranty service would have to improve several steps to make it up to pathetic. I strongly suggest buying from a different brand.

    I purchased an LG refrigerator 2 years ago. I listened to the guy at Home Depot and took his recommendation. Two weeks ago my refrigerator stopped cooling. A few days later an LG certified repair guy showed up and right away said he had to order a part in order to complete the repair. One week after the refrigerator stopped working the LG repairman serviced the unit unsuccessfully and LG "executive department" was unwilling to give any sort of credit for the labor portion of the bill. 10 days after the refrigerator stopped working the same LG repairman came to service the fridge again. This time it started to get a little cooler, approx 52-degree, but never got lower than that. Yesterday, over two weeks into the refrigerator not working the repairman did a third service on the refrigerator. Today I woke up to a 70-degree temperature inside my refrigerator.

    I contacted LG in hopes they would give me some sort of helpful resolution to this issue. The first guy I spoke with said after 3 unsuccessful repairs I might be eligible for compensation toward a new refrigerator. After 1 hour on the phone he transferred me to the "executive department" and the guy on the other end said no to a replacement, but that he'd schedule another service...NEXT WEEK. Three weeks without a working refrigerator, three unsuccessful service calls, hundreds of dollars spend on labor, hundreds of dollars spend on food that went bad, hundreds of dollars spent on meals out (that would have normally been lower cost meals made at home), and very rude "executive department".

    Needless to say, I will NEVER purchase an LG product again. Not just because of the product, but because their customer service STINKS! They have zero accountability and once you hit the "executive department" they are trained to say NO and treat you like garbage. If you try and ask for someone more senior they tell you to write a letter to a PO box in Huntsville Alabama. In this day and age where groceries can be delivered in an hour, parts can be shipped overnight, there is no reason someone should go without a working essential item like a refrigerator.

    I own an LG refrigerator that is less than one and a half years old. 3 weeks ago it stopped working. I called for service and was very dissatisfied with the availability of a qualified service rep. First I was given the names of six different qualified LG service companies. None would service my unit because I was not located in their service area. Then I was scheduled with a qualified LG company repairman. First I was given a service date of the next day or the day after that. When the serviceman did not arrive on the last date I was promised, I called back to find out he was sick and there was no other serviceman available. To my dismay my next available service date was five days later. I convinced the call taker to move my request up a day sooner. (No refrigeration).

    The serviceman finally arrived on the promised date. He told me that he was the ONLY LG company repairman for my area and he had been working 14 days straight. He was not sick as I was told by the last call taker. His work order did NOT indicate that my unit was not working. It indicated that I had an insufficient cooling problem. I specifically told at least one call taker that my unit was NOT working. The repairman determined that either the compressor or the condenser was leaking thus requiring a complete change out of the cooling unit, which he did not have on his truck.

    He ordered one to be shipped directly to my house overnight. To my surprise it came the next day (so far the only positive action that happened). He returned that afternoon and replaced the unit. He had some concern because the condensing unit was not properly sealed, but he installed it anyway. He told me that if I had any problems to message him directly, which I did because the freezer section was initially not get cold enough. I tried at least twice to get in touch with him. I never got a response!! The unit was also vibrating which I fixed myself. I only had two positive experiences with my service for the unit: 1. The replacement unit was indeed shipped overnight. 2. The service charge was waived because of the problems I experienced and the fact that my unit was only a year and half old.

    I guess you could consider the knowledge and the extra effort the serviceman made as also positive. The unit corrected itself and is now apparently work correctly... I was very very dissatisfied with your call center, at one point I tried to talk to a supervisor to no avail, I would never purchase a LG product again because of my experience trying to get service of my unit!!!

This fridge had cost almost $3000.00 and was manufactured by LG. I had contacted LG who suggested a "LG certified" service person. Service person attended and I was told that the compressor was broken and that the cost to fix this fridge was $900.00. I had called LG several times and they keep telling me the same thing. "We are not covering this part under warranty because this is the agreement we had with Sears".

    I had also tried escalating this within LG and each person I talk to "there's no point of escalating it further because they're going to tell you the same thing". I asked LG if it's normal for a $3000 fridge to only last 2 1/2 years and they stated it must be defective. Yet LG manufactured this defective fridge and they keep using the demise of Sears as an excuse to not cover this. I feel that the customer service and policies at LG are pathetic. I have now been without a fridge for almost 6 weeks as I cannot afford to pay $900 to fix this, nor do I feel I should have to. LG's customer service is pathetic and their products are garbage.

    I have owned an LG refrigerator with a bottom freezer for the past eight years. Besides the beautiful design of my refrigerator, I don’t have many good things to say about LG as a company. As a matter of fact, as a free trade supporter, I would limit access of this company into the US market because it does not uphold US product and service standards. The internal organs my refrigerator, made out of plastic, began breaking in the first two years. Two years ago when my refrigerator stopped cooling just before a big holiday for each I had to cook for and store food, it took LG four days to send appropriate serviceman to take care of the problem.

    The first repairman did not even have the appropriate equipment to fix the refrigerator and passed the buck on to someone else. When I called LG again and insisted on an LG certified repairman they had sent one. At that point I was out of warranty my refrigerator needed a new compressor which was installed two years ago in 2016, and for which I paid full price out of my own pocket.

    Recently I’ve had a problem where my freezer is not working but the refrigerator is still cooling. When the question of replacing the two-year-old compressor with a new one came up, LG stated that it’s company‘s policy is that if a compressor has been replaced and the refrigerator is out of warranty, the standard manufacturer warranty for compressors which is typically for most appliances 5 to 10 years does not hold water any longer. When you call for service you have to threaten and move up the ladder to speak to a few supervisors before you can get an adequate service. I will never own any LG product again and I would gladly share this recommendation warmly with any person I know. Who needs you LG? Go back home and stay there!!!

    Here I find myself reporting ANOTHER problem with our LG refrigerator that cost almost $3000. It's the three door with the freezer door on the bottom and is supposed to be wonderful because it has a linear something or other. The freezer compressor lasted just over one year. The labor warranty had expired and the compressor was covered. It still cost me $450 for the repair. Now, about one year later, the freezer has stopped working two more times with all the frozen food thawing. Curiously, after the food thaws, the motor starts working again. This happened to me again today. Fortunately, I have an old reliable Kenmore backup in the garage. I think that LG does not deserve another customer. Expect problems from them if you dare buy one. They should definitely be OOB. OUT OF BUSINESS!

    Bought the side by side April 1, 2015 and compressor is broken as of June 23, 2018 when I noticed water pooling and my ice cream soft. Purchased at Best Buy and they give you an extra yr warranty. The repairmen don’t work on Sundays and Mondays so I have to wait 4 days before my appt. Originally they wanted to schedule me for July 2 which is 1 1/2 wks away. My refrigerator is mildly cool and the freezer has stopped freezing. I paid extra for LG unit which advertised their quiet linear compressor. I am very dissatisfied that the unit broke in 3 yrs. That is ridiculous. I will make sure that I purchase extra warranty for I see more breakdowns in the future. Wished I would have purchased a Whirlpool which is Consumer Report's recommendation. A few of my friends have Whirlpool and no problems.

    Updated on 06/26/2018: Had the repairman out. I thought it was the linear compressor but it turns out it's in the closed system where the freon is connected to the metal coils. He thinks there is a leak. It is only 3 yrs old. This should not be. Another appt has to be set up and a specialist will come to find the leak and put freon in. If they cant fix it, then I get a new refrigerator. This is Best Buy warranty. Today they don't come with a 5 yr warranty. I will also plan on buying extended warranty. Things aren't made like they used to when assembly people put it together. My old GE lasted 20 years. That was in the 70s. They purposely design them to break down after ** years.

    Linear Compressors - My LG LSXS26326 came with my home when I purchased it. The fridge is less than 5 years old. In the year I've had it I've noticed intermittent cooling/ice production issues. If the temp got above 77 degrees in my house, the fridge would struggle to make ice or keep food cool. Then, on Memorial Day weekend, with family visiting, it finally died. I have a homeowner's warranty (fantastic investment) that covers all my appliances. Never had an issue on the couple of things I've had to call them on. This fridge is an exception. After a TWO WEEK long rigamarole between them and LG to determine a) If the fridge was under warranty. (It wasn't. I'm not the original purchaser, as I tried in vain to explain to all parties.) b) Who was going to pay for what (warranty company, all of it). The part is perpetually back ordered.

    There are so many of these compressors that are failing, they cannot make them fast enough to replace the failed units. Even the replacements are failing within a couple days/weeks/months/years depending on your luck. Today is June 22, and I am, just today, getting my fridge fixed. This process has been an absolute nightmare. And I have a future failure to look forward to. All I can do is cross my fingers and hope this one holds out until I get taxes back next year and can replace it with a functional fridge. I will NEVER, EVER, buy anything LG again in my life. And be CAREFUL. These same compressors are used in Kenmore Elite fridges as well!

    I purchased an LG French-door refrigerator in November, 2010, from Home Depot for $1198. Earlier this week I came home to puddles of water in my kitchen as the refrigerator compressor died resulting in my losing about a couple hundred dollars-worth of food. I called LG customer service, gave my model number and was told by their representative that the compressor was under warranty and I would only have to pay for labor. I was then provided with the numbers of two LG approved repair services.

    I had one service come out today and charge me $95 to confirm it is the compressor that no longer works, and let me know that labor cost to repair would be $650. That is pretty high so I called LG customer service again because my friend had the same thing happen to her LG refrigerator 3 weeks ago (what a coincidence) and it cost her $250 in labor, a big difference from $450. Turns out LG can send out one of their repair technicians who can do the repair for a total of $375. I do not know why this wasn't offered from the beginning and why I was directed to an independent repair service that costs almost double, but that is a sub-issue.

    What was truly upsetting was that it was at this time that the customer service representative told me that my refrigerator is actually not under warranty and that I would have to pay for parts and labor. If I had been told this from the beginning then I would have not have had the repair person come out and waste $95. I would have just gone directly to buying a new refrigerator, which is what I am left to do now because the cost of labor and parts will be near $1,000.

    So in sum, I spent nearly $1,200 on an LG refrigerator to last me less than 8 years and, to add insult to injury, I then spent an additional $95 for a repair call on the bad information provided by the LG customer service center. I asked LG if they would reimburse me for this and they refused. What makes the whole situation even worse is that I see that there was a class action lawsuit over the LG compressor failures, so this is a known issue to LG. Obviously LG is not standing behind its products and its customer service is sub-par. I will not be purchasing LG items ever again and this includes not only appliances but also mobile devices, televisions, audio and computers. I wanted to share this by sharing this experience so others can avoid similar losses.

    Avoid, Avoid, Avoid! We purchased a LG French Door refrigerator/freezer 28 cu ft (Model LFXS2926W/01) in April 2016. In late May of 2018 both lower and upper linear compressors failed along with the evaporators along with complete loss of refrigerant. Service rep came by in early June to identify the problem. Two weeks later the parts were delivered and they are back for the three hour repair. Three weeks from day of failure to day of repair. The service rep tell me that this appears to be a consistent problem with most if not all LG French door units. So $660.00 (labor and service call costs) later I hope to have it resolved.

    They have already warned me (because I asked) that this compressor/evaporator replacement will work properly for the next 2-3 years, before a predicted failure will occur again on the same components. The ten year warranty covers the compressor and a seven year warranty covers the evaporator. I asked their opinion on why such a generous warranty program given the predicted failure rate. The statement was the product (refrigerator's internal cooling components) is over engineered and it is probably cheaper in the long run to provide the warranty than it is to have to submit to a product recall or redesign of the failed parts. I have purchased my last LG product of any kind and I am sharing our experience with everyone I can.

    Model LFXC24726S: Purchased April 2016. Nice looking, well lit, everything pretty much fine until March of 2018 when we noticed a drop in the refrigerator temperature followed by a complete shutdown of refrigeration. Lost all food overnight. Fortunately, just under the extended two year warranty period from Costco. Normal warranty is one year. LG customer service was terrible! Finally got a repairman out after four days without refrigeration. Verdict: Condenser overheated and virtually no freon in the system. No leak detected in the visible areas inside. New condenser and evaporator ordered. Waited two weeks for the parts to be shipped to service tech firm. Installed after fifteen days without refrigeration.

    Second failure in June 2018; identical in nature. Several customer service people told me it was now out of warranty. Wrong. Turned out that the first repair was guaranteed for 90 days and that saved us. Three service repairmen from two firms sent out by LG over a period of two weeks. LG wanted photos, second opinions, etc. All came to the same conclusion. Small freon leak within the sealed system, meaning factory defect. Low freon overheats the compressor which can be potentially dangerous. Two weeks later and I am still waiting for LG to accept what their own service technicians have said. This refrigerator is defective and LG seems to be dragging its feet. What is a warranty worth if the people behind it work harder to avoid doing what's right and will not take responsibility for failures?

The first year of use had a problem with the inside of the full back panel of the refrigerator being packed with ice behind the panel even though there was no error message on the display, thus not allowing water to flow with the defrost problems. Repair service was performed. A year later, the same thing happened with ice packed and bulging inward behind the back panel of the refrigerator with an error message dh f. LG basically said "too bad, no warranty", none of the problem was covered by them.

    The repairman was called locally, who had done the first repair; however, he was no longer on LG's service list for the area because he refused to work with them due to low pay, problems with getting parts, etc. On April 16, 2018 he ordered the parts for the error message from LG. Meanwhile, we were out-of-town and came back to a refrigerator of food that had thawed and needed to be thrown out -- hundreds of dollars. The parts that had been ordered on April 16, 2018 came in a full 7 weeks later (almost 8) and were replaced on June 5, 2018. LG refuses to take any responsibility for this problem. Their attitude is terrible when it comes to customer service.

    The refrigerator that cost more than $2400 on sale has only been used 2 years and has had the two same problems. It is terrible that LG knows these problems will come up due to poor manufacturing and if the consumer doesn't buy the extended warranty it is obvious that they know they will make their money by charging for parts. The repairman indicated that there are lots of other customers with the same problems -- he repairs them and knows! Sick! Very upset, and there doesn't appear to be any concern from LG.

We tried to tell them the service people they mentioned in our city told us they wouldn’t work on LG (we’d already called) so they were wasting their time. We gave them the name of the closest service person willing to come out and even offered to pay him if LG could just reimburse us and LG refused. The service guy is standing by 30 miles away just waiting for the go ahead from LG before he heads to our house. He’s been screwed over by them before so he’s not willing to come out until he has the order in writing.

    After several calls to LG a second technician came and also determined it was a defective compressor. He ordered the compressor. He finally came to our house but refused to install the compressor because LG had not paid him for previous service calls and demanded payment for his services upfront. He was rude and discourteous. He said LG failed to provide him with the info to process the repair. He did not want to talk to the LG customer service either. I was able to get him the info so he could proceed. He installed the compressor under duress. He left right away. The repair to the refrigerator failed.

    I had contacted Costco and Costco and LG have been going back and forth to make a final determination to provide a refund. There is still no determination. I have kept notes of the ineptitude of LG, its customer service, its repair services and its unwilling to fulfill the obligations of the warranty. I have spent countless hours trying to find a resolution. I have been without a refrigerator and have lost food to spoilage. I am not happy that Costco is also unable to leverage LG to address the issue. I am being neglected and not responded to because of LG's lack of care toward its customers. It is further distressing that a company can flat out not fulfill the warranty obligations of its products.

    We bought an expensive $2000+ LG French door refrigerator from Pacific Sales. 16 months later refrigerator stopped cooling and freezing. LG customer service after several attempts to diagnostic and instructions to reply in the refrigerator and wait 24 hrs they finally said to call a certified LG 3rd party. They said this is a common well known defect. Compressor may be covered by LG parts, but back ordered for weeks and labor would be 700.00 and no guarantee it would last more than 1-2 yrs.

    Called Pacific Sales to see if they can help us resolve issue or help us good a good deal on a new refrigerator. Called twice. They said the manager would call but they never called back and were useless. Don’t back or service their sales. We gave up and bought a new refrigerator from Sears with a 5 yr warranty to be safe. Lesson —- DO NOT BUY AN LG REFRIGERATOR. There is a class action lawsuit against them. They NEED TO ACCEPT THE PROBLEM AND compensate the people that have been taken advantage of with suboptimal technology parts and service and support from all levels. So irresponsible and careless. Embarrassing. LG will eventually go out of business with that record.

    LG fridge (LFXC24726 French Door Fridge) bought in 2016...compressor failed in 2017. Woke up Memorial Day 2018 and found a pool of water around the fridge. Fridge was warm inside and the frozen food soft. Called LG factory specialist and he used the Smart Diagnosis to analyze the problem. He said I should call a repair person, because the fridge was not working (don't need Smart Diagnosis to tell that the fridge is not working!!!). Removed all the food and scheduled a repair person four days later. The day before the repair person was scheduled to arrive, I checked the fridge and everything seemed O.K....cold fridge & freezer. We decided to have the repair person check the unit to verify that it was O.K.

    I told the repair person the whole story about the unit not working four days ago and now it is working. He said: "THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH LG UNITS...The defrost computer sometimes gets stuck and has to be reset. Just unplug the fridge from the wall or trip the circuit breaker, wait 15 seconds and the computer will reset." That piece of advice cost me $75.00. The repair person confirmed that this information is not in the owner's manual and probably the LG factory specialist don't know about this computer problem. I hope this story will save somebody a repair service charge. I learned my lesson...I will never buy another LG refrigerator.

    Anything but LG! Had trouble right off the start with LG. Started getting error codes on the front panel within a year of owning. Tech said motherboard needed to be replaced. Then within a couple of months noticed water collecting inside the fridge. Cold air ducts became blocked because moisture got into them and froze. This duct supplies cold air to the ice maker. Cubes melted sending water all over floor. Tech removed all internal components from freezer, cleared duct and adjusted/moved the thermostat.

    Last week while on vacation got a call from my son saying fridge quit working sending water all over floor again! Tech came out said compressor is not working and stated it would be less expensive to buy new than replacing the compressor. This is just over 5 years old! We will place a call to LG and see if they want to stand behind their product!

    My refrigerator stopped working last Friday. It is 2 years old. We called immediately to the call centre. They promised to cover my cost of labour with a local provider. They gave me a number to call the local provider to arrange a time. When I called the provider, they informed me that LG has to send them a work order number. So I called back LG and they said they would expedite this by the end of the day. Nothing happened. I called the provider and no luck. So I called back LG. They told me the same thing, and told me they would call, text or email me by the end of the day. In total, I have called LG 7 times, and a total of 2.5 HOURS on the phone with them.

    The most recent time I was on the phone 55 min until they told me it would now be 2-5 business days until someone in their service centre called the service provider to give the work order number. And apparently, this is "expedited". This is not to mention yesterday, I could not even get through to customer service as their call centre was overloaded, and the recorded message just told me to "call back another time". My case number is **. I have now given up, and have to pay for it myself as by the time this happens, it will be well over a week just to arrange a technician. They refuse to email me OR transfer me to the same agent. Getting a "floor supervisor" to speak to is close to impossible.

    We have owned this for just over 2 years. Then we started having problems with cooling. After many painful conversations with LG, it seems it needs a new compressor. Good news! The compressor is covered under their 10 year warranty. Bad news: Parts only. More bad news: Parts very hard to get. More bad news: NO ONE works on LG appliances (We didn't buy the extended third party warranty).

    We live outside of Philadelphia, and after speaking to many (more than 12) appliance repair places, they all say the same thing. They refuse LG warranty work because of poor support, reimbursement and parts availability from LG. They wouldn't even fix it if I said I would pay 100 % of the charge. LG even had the nerve to charge me a $150.00 "booking fee" to schedule a repair. Does not apply to the repair, just for making a call for me. Turns out the company they called would not repair it. If I could give it a zero I would. Carefully check reviews before you buy one of their products and be sure to buy the extended warranty if you do.

    Very dissatisfied with this product (LTCS24223S 24 cu. ft. Top Mount Refrigerator). If I could give it negative stars... they'd be in the triple negative digits. I purchased this unit in 2015 with a one-year extended warranty. Thank goodness for the extended warranty because it needed service a few months prior to the extended warranty expiration. There was ice buildup behind the icemaker as well as behind the entire back panel - between the back panel and the cooling coils. I've always left enough clearance between the vents and the food so as not to block any airflow. When I asked about the ice buildup, the repairman said this was an LG thing. WOW!!! AN LG THING... REALLY!?!? Wish I'd known that before I laid down my $1,409.27 for this fridge.

    It’s been randomly popping and cracking so loudly that my entire household jumps out of their skin. The icemaker - after only 10 months of use - quit making ice. There's frost/ice in the freezer vents again and condensation dripping from the control panel in the refrigerator. The fridge is level. This is not a misaligned door/seal issue. I did not, nor do I intend to purchase another extended warranty. The fact that you have to purchase an extended warranty is very telling about the LG’s confidence in the quality of their product. If I get 5 years out of this unit, I'll really, really be surprised. I don't need my refrigerator to talk to me or keep track of my BMs. I need it to freeze my food, make ice in the icemaker (not BEHIND the back panel), and cool my food to prevent spoilage.

    This unit is just NOT built for that intended purpose. I'm already putting money aside for another unit because I know this... will have a very short lifespan. I can guarantee my next fridge won't be an LG. Steer clear off this fridge... No matter how low the price drops... you are throwing good $$$$$ after bad!!! FYI... I wrote the exact same review and posted it on LG's website 4 days ago. Despite having received numerous confirmation emails that the above review was posted on their website, I can find it NOWHERE!!! In fact, only the most recent positive reviews are immediately displayed. The critical reviews are stuffed way in the back.

    Even after sorting the reviews for "Most Recent" or "1-2-3 Stars" my review still is not displayed. How many other critical reviews, like mine, are conveniently missing from their webpage? I made sure I followed their Review Guidelines to the letter to ensure posting of my review because I believe the buying public has a right to be informed before they lay down their money for a product that should last 15 - 25 years. This is the only place I'll come to when checking reviews for my next fridge. Unfortunately, that purchase will be a lot sooner than I expected.

Unit started icing inside and water inside as well, after several (self do it yourself) defrosting, problem continued. Called LG again and they said they could not take care of it, that I needed to make appointment with them to have it fixed. I told them I would take the frig/unit and drop it in front of the store explaining to everyone what was wrong with it and worthless it was. They got connected online and reset it and it worked fine for a while. Now it's doing it again.

    All of their units are worthless even their cell V10 & V20, their dishwasher it's also another piece of crap. NEVER AGAIN will I ever buy LG. So far stove/oven and microwave works... but give it time. BTW, units are less than three years old and I'm hardly ever home to use them, so it should only be about 6 months worth of use.

    While recently reading a Consumer Reports article about recommended refrigerators, I noticed that LG got very high ratings. Given my experiences with an LG refrigerator, I was shocked. Six years ago, we were so pleased with our LG top-loading washer/dryer so decided to look at their refrigerators. I saw the one I wanted right away -- stainless, French door refrigerator with a huge amount of room inside and outer door ice and water dispenser. Loved the interior lighting, too. After looking at this one, I knew nothing else would make me happy so we plunked down $2500 for it, on sale no less! It ran fine the first year and I was the envy of anyone who came to our house and admired it.

    Skip to year 2 -- New Year's Eve and we kept hearing this loud noise whenever the fan came on. An LG certified repair technician checked it a few days later and said it was a known design flaw; ice would build up around the fan and when the fan turned on, it would hit that ice. She was able to repair it and things were great again -- until the water/ice dispenser stopped working later that year. It had to be replaced but luckily, we had bought an extended warranty so we didn't have to pay for it.

    Shortly after that, one of the glides on a freezer drawer wasn't working correctly and it had to be replaced. This past December, the ice tray kept overfilling with water so when it froze, the tray couldn't empty; we kept hearing a loud clacking noise. I had to get out my blow dryer to thaw the ice enough that the tray could turn over and dump it. Of course, since the refrigerator is 6 years old, our extended warranty was up so it was on us to get it fixed. Luckily, my husband is a former Industrial Arts teacher and avid YouTube viewer, so he ordered a new ice maker and fixed it himself. It worked fine after that.

    2 months ago when I opened the refrigerator one night, I noticed quite a bit of water on the top of the freezer door. I thought maybe I had spilled water, though I couldn't imagine how I might have spilled that much, and after cleaning it up, I opened the freezer drawer. Soft ice cream, thawing meat, melting ice cubes did not bode well. Strangely, the freezer indicator on the outside of the refrigerator registered 0 degrees. I checked the refrigerator and the inside felt warmer than usual. When I stuck a thermometer inside, it registered 50 degrees. Thinking maybe the coils needed cleaning, we did that and moved all of the food to our 25 year old garage refrigerator and to our basement freezer. The next morning when we checked the temperature in the refrigerator, it was almost 70 degrees so time to call an LG certified technician. (Not easy to find, by the way)

    The first one who came to our house and checked our refrigerator announced that it needed a new condenser and two evaporators. He was qualified to fix them, but his company would no longer allow their technicians to work on the LG evaporators/condensers because there's a special valve inside that, if damaged during a repair, can't be fixed -- the whole refrigerator would be dead. His company didn't want to assume that responsibility, and I can't really blame them. The second LG certified tech said that even though the parts are still covered by the LG warranty, it would cost us about $700 plus a $100 service charge to fix it. That's almost a third of what we paid for the refrigerator and would cover the cost of a new no-frills top freezer refrigerator! Oh, and only a 60 day guarantee. We said no thank you, so as we speak, there's what my husband likes to call a "$2500 paperweight" sitting in our kitchen.

    I sent an email to LG and the answer I got back sounded as if the girl who replied hadn't even read my email, or at least didn't understand it. Her suggestion was to contact an LG certified technician to fix it. (I guess she missed the part of my email where I said that we consulted TWO LG certified technicians!) Disgusted with that response, I sent a letter to both the President of LG and the Consumer Relations person to express my dissatisfaction with my refrigerator. Have I heard back? No. Will I hear back? Probably not. Given the number of complaints I've seen over time, it appears that LG service leaves a lot to be desired. I think it's a sad commentary when a $2500 less than 7 years old dies, while a 25+ Kenmore out in the garage is still working just fine.

    According to one of our repairmen and from what I've read, the problem is that appliance companies today are manufacturing appliances to last only 5-10 years, and refrigerators are nearer the bottom of that estimate. Gone are the days of appliances that lasted 25 years or more (I had a Maytag washer/dryer set that lasted almost 30 years!) Most refrigerators, too, have only a one year warranty, so purchasing a longer warranty is pretty much a necessity.

    Searching for a new one over the past several weeks has been a real challenge, and so far, nothing has grabbed my attention like my LG did six years ago... maybe because I'm going back to simple, top freezer fridge without an ice maker so we'll hopefully avoid a lot of repairs. Bottom line: If you're looking for a new refrigerator, please do your homework, and stay away from companies with poor service record reviews after the sale. Also, make sure you buy an extended warranty because chances are, you'll eventually need it.

The problem was diagnosed with a major leak in the system. The local repair crew replaced the compressor, two evaporators, and a dryer. The repair lasted about 24 hours. On the subsequent return visit, the tech checked for dye leaks on all of their solder joints. None were found and the tech deemed the fridge as not repairable.

    This fridge is still under Costco 2-year warranty, and it has been tough getting the repair/refund resolved. LG warranty support sucks -- even with Costco pushing them. As of this writing, we have been living with this defective fridge for 4 weeks!

Appliance sales staff said new models all have motherboards probably programmed to break something so only expected to last 5 or so yrs now anyway, they don't care about keeping the customer. Still believe you either luck out and get one put together right or get a bad one... Just like a car.

    My side by side LG freezer (model LSXS26326W) which is only 2 years old has had the freezer die on it 2 times already. It makes no ice and the freezer temperature is up to 40 degrees even though it is set to 0 degrees. We have called the LG company several times but they keep repeating the same thing, "Adjust the temperature." But we have adjusted the temperature several times but it does not help. We are seeing that others are complaining about a faulty compressor. I would not recommend this unit to anyone and please before buying any appliance check around and gather information to see what the best one is. I am really upset and I have lost all my meat and frozen food.

    We purchased an LG French Door LFXS29626B refrigerator 1 1/2 year’s ago and it stopped working about three weeks ago. All the food In the bottom freezer dethawed and no ice is disowning from the door. I have called LG numerous times and had their tech out three times. He said it was the compressor and ordered the part, came back five days later installed another part (apparently just because the part came in what appeared to be a new box did not mean it was a new part). It still doesn't work. Meanwhile we’ve been living out of coolers and LG gives excuse after excuse when I ask to speak to a supervisor. Had I known about the class action suits that have been brought against this company I would not have bought this piece of junk.

    Our LG refrigerator has been going strong for over 10 years. Since our kitchen is small, we were limited in the size of refrigerator that we could purchase. LG fits in the kitchen perfectly and for our family of 2 adults and 2 kids, we are able to fit all of items that we need in it. One feature that we love to this day is its ability to produce cubed or crushed ice. It is roomy and easy to clean.

After a remote diagnosis I was told that the cooling fan was freezing up; when I asked about repairs I was told to just insure that all doors and draws were tightly close and to check all seals were air tight, bad advice. Between November 2014 and April 2016 the same issue continued to occur. After a series of calls and two more visits, LG would no longer return with pay; this was an ongoing issue. With no further help from LG the repairs were completed in 2017 through use of my home appliances insurance.

Called LG and they told me that the compressor is under a parts only 10-year warranty, and I paid the $135 fee for out of warranty repair. Found out that we had purchased the fridge almost 2 years ago, so the fridge is under a 0-5 year parts and labor factory warranty, and a 6-10 year compressor warranty. So after 45 minutes on hold LG is issuing a credit of $135 and sending a tech out with a new compressor out to my house on 5/2/18. Hope this fixes my fridge...

    In January of 2016 I took delivery of a set of LG Black Stainless Kitchen appliances from Lowes. I purchased stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave. They were very expensive and what I consider to be "high end" in terms of models. Within a short time, I began to notice the refrigerator scratched at the drop of a hat. This was not my experience with prior stainless appliances. I learned the "black" stainless just has a black film on it and it is not the true color of the stainless.

    Just 2 years later, I am seeing the black coating or film peel away from the handles on my dishwasher. Just having a ring on and opening the door to the fridge is leaving scratches. Plus spots of where the film is wearing off are on the front of the fridge and at the edges of the door. The film near the handles on the dishwasher is peeling away. I called LG and they could care less. Since it is more than one year old, too bad for the consumer. There is no product on the market to try and at least cover the appearance of this faulty coating. So, just 2 years and over $7000 later I am stuck with products that are obviously defective in terms of the finish. I will NEVER do business with LG again since they gave me a defective product and will not stand behind what they sell the consumer. I have seen other negative reviews about this same issue. There should be a class action against this company for this product.

The 3 fruit/veg. containers are nice and big. In the freezer I have unplugged the ice maker, because it took up too much room and simply leave an ice tray across one side of the top section divider. It allows for sections of food to be stored without being in a jumble. It is a very large and tall fridge and I didn't mind doing without the cupboard section that usually is hung above.

    I am completely appalled because I have been dealing with this issue with our refrigerator NOT WORKING for almost 5 months from LG. The model I have is model # LFX31925ST and I have had 3 LG technicians come out since December, and all three have diagnosed a different problem. The first technician ordered parts, looked at the refrigerator (did not use the parts he ordered and left them in my home) and simply checked the back of fridge and said it would be ok and gave it 48 hrs for it to cool. It did cool, began making ice again and that lasted 1 month.

    The second technician replaced the compressor, the dryer, and the condenser and it stopped working the next day. The third technician that came out said that the Yoder Loop is damaged and that it is a manufacturing problem that LG is fully aware of and then does not stand by its product to replace the unit for its customers. No amount of work will fix my problem, he stated the unit must be replaced! Out of all three, I believe and feel that third technician was being honest and seemed really frustrated with having to be the face of LG to angry customers.

    I have an insurmountable amount of phone calls, emails, back and forth and today I finaly spoke to someone in the “Escalation Department”. After much back and forth and letting her know that I will be their worst walking advertisement, and hire a Consumer law attorneys which is an expert in consumer protection laws, she then stated that she needed to get a supervisor that was even higher than her. Long story short, the supervisor was not reached because it was “end of day” and she “promised” to escalate this even further and give me a call within 3–5 business days which I declined.

Complained to LG on Facebook, they responded that they have a tech that could fix it total/flat rate of $375. Unbelievable. Pretty sure what happens with the compressor failure is that the refrigerant leaks out and the compressor keeps running harder and longer until it burns out.

There is a very good chance that the refrigerator has a compressor issue based on the symptoms per tech support. Tech support provided me with (4) certified LG service companies to call to schedule a service visit. Out of the four companies none of them would take the job. One was out of range, two did not work on the linear compressors and the other was not working with LG at this time.

    Summary of the long story: Calls to LG tech support were in excess of 15 and multiple to the service companies. Issues: every call to tech support I had to repeat the entire explanation of what happened, seems that the support group does not read all of the CNN# notes. Frustrating time after time. I had to tell the LG support group who could not work on my unit, who already came, who was out of range, etc… Support does not have direct contact with the LG certified companies to get direct feedback to the consumer (me). Support works with your service contract company to place a work order, consumer is not involved. Caused confusion many times.

    Many delays with parts coming from LG for first service call, caused many delays. Received (3) case numbers **. Should only have one to have all of the notes/history under one case number? Received (2) RNN numbers **. Received (1) APN number **. 3/15/2018 a certified LG service company (Broadway Sales) final took the job from 1 ½ hours away. After review the LC internal compressor unit has a hole that in “not” repairable. Broadway reported back to LG. Another call to LG for a follow up, LG informed me due to the severity they had to have a second certified company verify the issue. Keep in (8) weeks have passed.

    Run away as fast as you can from any and all LG French Door Refrigerators! They are beautiful on the outside but are like a rotten apple full of worms on the inside! We were taken in by its appearance and didn’t realize that its running parts are defective! Reviewing many of the other comments there is a reoccurring theme, that of ice makers, compressors and fluid lines within a 3 year period. Don’t be fooled. LG knows about the problems and defects of this refrigerator, when you call the LG repair number the prompt even asks if you are calling to repair the ice maker!

    Don’t be misled...this is a disposable refrigerator with a 3 year lifespan! My experience is the same as many of you, ice maker went then the compressor and fluid (in the secret enclosed unit) that only a licensed LG technician can work on and good luck on finding one! I called 16 repairman and all of their responses were similar..."I don’t work on those, they are junk, need a special license”. I found one that LG referred me to and he quoted $99.00 to just come out to diagnose the problem. I already have paid a repairman to diagnose the problem, then $600.00 plus to pay for the labor, sure the warranty covers the parts but it’s nearly impossible to get the parts in a timely manner and find a LG licensed repairman.

    LG Company should be ashamed of how they allow this product to continually go down the assembly line of production “knowing” that the defects have not been addressed. And then appealing to the eye of the consumer while in reality stealing from them. Shame on you LG! I am definitely going to check into an active Class Action Suit against LG so I can be heard. And if you're listening LG...I want a new fridge! You owe me that!

    I have own this refrigerator for 4 year, purchased from Home Depot. First year-replaced Control Panel, 2nd year replaced upper ice maker, right now the water on the French door comes on at random and floods the kitchen when we're not home, condensation is on the outside of the water and ice compartment and door. The refrigerator freezes all vegetables, milk, etc. Spoke to LG, was told I should have gotten the extended warranty. The refrigerator has not performed correctly since purchased. I feel cheated and used.

    My daughter bought an LG Refrigerator about 2 years ago at a cost of $3,000. It doesn't cool. In the last few months, she has spent another $1,000 on a new compressor and Freon leaks. It still doesn't cool. I'm told by the repairman that it would be foolish to put any more money into repairs and that her remedy is to buy a new one -- not LG. Based on our experience, I would encourage people to avoid this brand.

    LFXC24726S Breaks Often - I have had this refrigerator for three years. I paid more for it (3K) due to the counter depth and it was the size I needed. It's had four repairs, ice maker twice and the dual cooling system twice. Not only does it break down, but it takes forever to get it fixed when it does. There are limited appliance repair companies in my area that will work on the dual cooling system. I live in a large city, so this is hard to believe. Even when someone comes out, they then have to order parts which in the past has taken weeks. I had to go buy a used refrigerator to hold me over until mine could be fixed.

    My husband and I purchased $7,000 worth of new LG Black Stainless appliances. The no fingerprinting is nice, but the black stainless is nothing but a film. We are in a 2 person household with no pets. Within the first 3 months there was an area the size of a quarter of the black stainless flaking off where the handle meets the door... And now you can see the regular stainless color. If you slightly touch the area... It flakes off more. There is no repair for this. The finish scratches very easy and even your rings will scratch the door handles when doing nothing but opening the appliance. I do not recommend this finish!

    LFX28978ST/00 Refrigerator: I must be one of the "Lucky" ones. Purchased 3 years ago and still keeps food cold... BUT that's about it. Nearly every plastic drawer/door shelf has broken. Within a few months, the large drawer and a couple of the door shelves had broken. I went back to retailer HH Gregg (avoid them too like the plague they are) to request replacements. I had purchased the extended "bumper to bumper" HH Gregg warranty. What a joke that was.

    After months of runaround, neither HH Greg or LG would do anything about the broken doors, claiming I had abused the fridge without so much as a service call to even inspect it. I just ended up going online and buying replacement parts. Now the icemaker has stopped working and no one seems to know exactly what part number I need to fix it. I almost wish the piece of junk would stop cooling so I could replace it with a NON LG product. I have told my wife to kill me if I ever so much as look at another LG product.

    Updated on 11/16/2018: You wait a month for an approved diagnostic person to come. You call, you plead and Home Depot or LG says nothing as they do not consider it urgent. There is nothing you can do except boycott them, use local merchants who will repair your refrigerator. Or if you have great credit just refuse to pay them. It will take them 2 years before the collection people give up or you negotiate a lower price. In my case this is the second compressor failure and the second time it has caused over a two month hardship with keeping food fresh, keeping food safe, extra trips to the grocery.

    In addition we had our own repairman we paid as LG cannot get people other than Sears A&E repair service because they do not pay their repairman a decent wage. Even though my repairman said it was a slow leak and not worth repairing LG overrode this report and just repaired or patched the refrigerator so now another noncooling problem. By the way I go to Lowe's where they offer 10% off under certain situations, my situation is my military service with my DD Form 214. These big companies and their political friends make it difficult for the regular consumer.

    Updated on 11/05/2018: This is the second time the LG compressor has failed. The first time required 5 weeks before the compressor was replaced and operational again. This time the coolant and the compressor has failed. The inside of the refrigerator is 82 degrees, mildew is forming in the freezer section. A week after LG gave me a repair request number they told me they were working on assigning me a repairman so we sit back and wait and Home Depot does nothing. They sell this brand well knowing the problems. What does a consumer do. I will report back on the results.

    Original Review: Household Refrigerator model LMXS30776S/00 - This refrigerator was delivered 12/12/2014. When the cooling temperature began rising we called Kurtz Appliance Repair. After diagnosing a leak in the closed sealed refrigerant he diagnosed it beyond reasonable repair. We contacted 4 LG trained repairmen in the area and they agreed and would not come out to troubleshoot or repair. I called LG on February 19 (in the Philippines) and they sent a repairman initially on March 7 (15 days after our first call). The repairman, Tim, ordered parts for the appointment on March 14 which was cancelled at the last moment.

    Tim was to come on March 20 by noon but did not arrive until 3:30 PM. This was too late in the day to do the proper repair. The appointment was then moved to March 27. We have consulted another appliance repairman who said the job if properly done could take 8 to 12 hours and would not be worth it due to the labor rate. LG will have strung us out for 30 days with no assurance of the repair. We will give them this last chance and then join the many LG refrigerator class action suits open.

    I bought a high-end LG French door refrigerator from Home Depot. Six months later, the fridge failed to keep the set temperature, becoming too warm to keep food in either the refrigerator or freezer. The LG customer service department scheduled a repairman for week later. They then called and pushed it out another week! Two weeks without a refrigerator, living out of a cooler. I've placed numerous calls to their customer service department and they are unwilling to repair the fridge in a timely manner. Despicable, shameful, customer service! I will not be buying LG again. Beware.

    It's been 96 days since my 4-door LG LMXC23746S refrigerator stopped cooling after 2 yrs and 4 months of use, and it's still not fixed. It's leaking coolant, and the compressor, condenser, drier, & evaporator coils need to be replaced. Countless hours of frustration dealing with LG Customer Service trying to get them to honor their 10-Yr Warranty and issue a refund, which they told me they can only do after an LG authorized service technician tries to fix it and deems it unfixable. Since then, I've had 5 technician visits, 2 tech no-shows/cancelled appointments, wrong parts ordered (took 3 weeks just to get the parts), over the last 96 days. Endless days & hours on the phone with LG being lied to and referred to companies that can't even fix my sealed system fridge.

    Finally, on 3/5/18 two techs, sent by the company LG assigned to fix my unit, located the coolant leak in a non-serviceable component which can't be accessed without cutting open the fridge; not fixable. LG is now refusing to honor that finding saying they need another opinion but they don't have any authorized available sealed system techs in my area at this time. REALLY??! So am I supposed to just wait around until they find a qualified tech after being screwed for over 3 months already? LG IS PRODUCING REFRIGERATORS THAT CAN'T BE SERVICED AND PUSHING A USELESS WARRANTY THEY CAN'T EVEN BACK.

    I purchased this LG French Door 28 cu ft Refrigerator Model # LMX28988SW on 3/10/2011 and was delivered and setup from Best Buy on 3/28/2011. Was told this is the best fridge on the market... It cost almost $2600, but I wanted something that would last. Boy, that sure didn't happen... Not quite 7 years later my freezer and icemaker both stopped working. The ice maker needed replacement just a few months after purchase and now it failed again. I'm sure it's somehow related to the freezer no longer freezing things. I have an International Harvester refrigerator in my barn that was purchased by my parents in 1950 and it still works fine. How discouraging that this LG fridge has already puked out.

Meanwhile get used to living without a refrigerator! As I am reading this seems to be a common problem on recent LG refrigerators. I paid 3 grands for this high-end LG unit and looks like it was a BIG MISTAKE! Never LG again! Not sure if we can sue them for common failure based on the common occurrence!

    I bought a new LG kitchen appliance set Stove/fridge in 2015, which cost a little over $5000, the fridge was in my house 45 mins from the store, I hired a plumber to install and connect a new water line for the fridge, after it was connected and plugged in, the water disperser would not work, I phoned LG right away, LG service personnel asked me how old the fridge was, I told her... 45mins, she was shocked and embarrassed, and 4 days later they sent a appliance technician to fix it.

    We have had nothing but problems with this fridge, the ice maker works off and on when it feels like it, the door jam between the french doors broke... Cheap plastic. The 2 oven stove burnt one burner coil out not long after the warranty was over, I contacted LG, they said for a one time fee I could have it repaired, and so on, my reply was... "I'll never buy your product again." The glass stove top is very dangerous, hot pots and pans slide around very easy, dangerous around young children. I wished I would have kept my old GE set, old and ugly but still worked.

    I wish I could describe my experience, but there are no words for the dishonestly, incompetence, run-around, LYING, lack of responsibility, unprofessional, and just plain unethical, horrific conduct this company has shown me in spades and spades and spades. I purchased a very expensive LG Space Saver, side-by-side refrigerator/freezer about 16 months ago. Surprise - surprise, the compressor went out. The labor was not under warranty, but the "part" apparently was. Well, that would require even a semblance of customer service or honestly or even a mild attempt to care about a customer or fix a product. What I got was a vague reference to maybe having someone CALL ME in 2-3 weeks to MAYBE get out there and maybe fix the compressor.

    First, I was put through a bunch of dumb tests and waiting -- because yeah, a refrigerator SQUEALING, thawing out, and dripping ice down the door could be caused by leaving the door open for 5 minutes. NOT. And I didn't. Still, it took me a while -- playing LG's games -- to realize that nobody has any responsibility or integrity. That they lie as quickly and effortlessly as some folks breathe, and that every single person you talk to will give you a different answer or solution -- absolute no one will mean what they say or follow through.

    And they could care less how much of your time, effort, or money they cost you (I lost $800 worth of food; spent over 7 hours on the phone, talking to over 12 different people, many not even in the USA, being promised things that never happened -- only to be shuffled to someone else; being referred to "their own" repair companies THAT DID NOT EXIST! (Literally, I called all three of the companies myself because I couldn't wait 2-3 weeks for maybe. One, the guy was out for the next month or so because of surgery -- yeah, glad I didn't wait 2-3 weeks on him; one, they said they stopped working with LG years ago and wished they'd quit telling people otherwise; and the last one - phone disconnected). Yet, I could not get anyone at LG to understand why I wasn't willing to wait 2-3 weeks for someone at one of these 3 companies to call me!!!

    In the "send you to ten different people, all of who will lie to you game" (oh, and prepare to sit on hold for 30 minutes or more at a time, just to be rerouted to someone and start all over... again... and again...), I was told they had a repairman in the area and were sending him to my house now. Please hold. Please hold. Please hold. only to waste another hour and be told I needed to wait on one of the three companies. This went on for 3-4 days!!! Meanwhile, I tried to call an independent repairman -- my family actually needs to eat -- and what I heard from professional after professional after professional was a NIGHTMARE. "No one would work with LG. LG does not pay their claims. LG compressors break all the time. Dealing with LG is a virtual nightmare. Etc!"

    I finally found a company with a certified LG repairman (He used to WORK FOR LG) who said he would work on the warrantied part and seek payment for it from LG. (LG had already given me a useless approval # which I could use with one of those three companies. Are we really back to calling the unicorns and Santa Claus again -- newsflash, idiots! They don't exist!) Anyhow, after another day of dealing with a bunch of representatives not in the USA, I got a hold of someone who walked me through a ton of steps in order to send a pre-approved service authorization to the company I FOUND -- "it would be in the company's email box in 24-48 hours." Guess what? Surprise - surprise. There was no email authorization; they never sent anything; they never called me back; and I guess they just lied at the time.

    So I finally paid to have the private company come out and check the refrigerator -- bad compressor. Of course, read the reviews -- everyone is saying this, so LG must know it! Well the company tried to get a hold of LG to schedule a date to fix the compressor -- they had my approval # and told LG I had been given authorization to use them and the authorization was supposed to be in their email box a week ago (oh, and they made me call the company and get a bunch of information, including this email address for this "authorization email" that never existed. Maybe they do this ** for fun???

    Anyhow, the company I'd hired could never get hold of anyone at LG -- no surprise there -- so finally went through their world-class ("world" being literal - class being a JOKE) customer service, only to be told that there would be no authorization because *I* the customer had an appointment scheduled for next week with one of those three original companies. ARE - YOU - KIDDING - ME!?! No one ever called me or scheduled any appointment, and as we all know -- those 3 companies were bogus to begin with. What the ** kind of operation is LG running. This is beyond PATHETIC. It's fraudulent. Moronic. Inexcusable. Sad thing is: I WILL NEVER EVER BUY ANY LG PRODUCT AGAIN, no matter how large or small, and I've already told everyone I know to AVOID THE REFRIGERATORS LIKE THE PLAGUE. Good going, LG.

    RUN - DON'T WALK - AWAY FROM ANY LG REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER. Or at least call half a dozen appliance repair companies and ask what they have to say about this product -- you'll get a surprising earful. LG has no customer service, and they couldn't give two ** if their customers ever get anything fixed, let alone in a timely fashion. If you have 20 - 30 - 40 hours to be given the runaround, to sit on hold, to be lied to and shuffled, to speak to folks all over the world who will each tell you a new and ever-more inventive lie, then by all means, buy this refrigerator. But if you think any part of it will ever break, then you're on your own. LG should be ASHAMED. And I hope there's a class-action lawsuit at some point because they need to be exposed.

    I bought an LG refrigerator in 2013 and the warranty for the compressor was 10 years. In 2017 it stopped working and we spent over $700 and 5 months trying to repair it. After 4 months of the repairs it stopped working again and LG wanted to charge again for repairs and never offered to replace the unit. The appliance was a piece of junk and LG was not willing to offer a viable solution. It was a waste of money, time and food! I will never buy another LG appliance again. Terrible service!
