    If I read the reviews on this page, I may have a different opinion today but I didn’t. I bought a house in 2022 with a French door refrigerator of 2020. The fridge broke down six weeks ago. I invited a local shop to repair, they informed me that the compressor was bad and that no technician was available in the area to fix a new one even if I decided to get a new compressor, as LG recently changed their technology. A day after, LG contacted me and asked me to purchase another one and send the bill of lading along with the sticker of the old fridge. They would pay me $743 and also take away the old fridge. It took me a while to decide but I finally agreed to that proposal.

    Two weeks after their confirmation the fridge is still in my garage and they have not dispatched the cheque. The last conversation I had with LG, they said that I should expect the cheque within 6-8 weeks (within Canada?). No date as to when the fridge will move out of my garage. I regret accepting that deal. I would have tried another product after my encounter with the local technician. Avoid LG fridge for now. Both product and customer service are below average.

    Within 6 months one of the clips on the top shelf broke off. After much effort supplying the pictures & information requested, I was told that was considered wear & tear. I could have been informed of that WITHOUT any of my efforts. Less than a month later, I noticed when closing the refrigerator door the freezer door opens & closes. I live alone, my fridge is less than a year old & in spotless condition. Having already been made aware of non-covered parts, I did not waste my time calling. THIS IS MY FIRST & LAST LG REFRIGERATOR. It is falling apart before my eyes!!!

    Don't buy LG fridge as it is poor quality product. Once it breaks, there is no parts to fix it. My fridge broke two weeks ago and I am still waiting to get it fixed.

    I had a major emergency two weeks ago. My kitchen floor was flooded and I had to throw food in the garbage! Extended warranty on LG fridge was contacted. The technician ordered parts and is still waiting for them. The parts are not available. In meanwhile, I am without a fridge. I have an emergency! I am without a fridge for two weeks now and I am still waiting. Don't buy garbage LG fridge as you will waste your money on the product that is worthless.

    The Fridge purchased Feb 2015 came with a 10 year warranty on the compressor parts. 1 Jun 2023 Initial call about the fridge and freezer not cooling was a clear compressor issue. We were told they will get back to us within 8 days (but since it is a fridge put a urgency on it) if they have service for our location. If they don't have a service person they would have a great offer instead of repair.

    We called after 6 days to see if there is some one coming out. Answer was that our claim was denied since the fridge was close to 10 years old and out of warranty and there is no service in our area. Their offer was to bring it to a service station 1 1/2 hrs. drive to get repaired and they would pay for parts or they credit us 10% towards a new fridge.

    Warranty:
    - They did not call use, we had to call them.
    - They did deny warranty flat fee rate due to the location we live even so we would have to bring the fridge to their service location. (Not just did not offer service in our area but also denied an offer we would be entitled to if we live in a service area they come to our house).

    - Offered 10% towards a LG fridge only where as there is still 2 years warranty out of 10 year left. By my calculations this would mean min. 20% paid out would be the minimum for the 20 years.

    In my opinion: it is hard to purchase a fridge in stock to get what we need and it might not be possible to get an LG. 10% is a poor offer and it should be on replacement cost and 8 years out of 10 means 20%.

    I bought an LG refrigerator top freezer. I had bought this refrigerator twice before and this was my third time. Well - they did away with a lot of the features that I had in my last 2 purchases like no freezer light and no deli bin. Really dumb move. I returned the refrigerator and bought a Frigidaire. I love it. I had also bought the ice maker for the LG refrigerator direct from the LG website. Well, I now wanted to return the ice maker as I no longer have the refrigerator. Hours on the phone - can't get anyone who speaks an English that I can understand. Their policy is a 2 wk window to return. This was 2 1/2 weeks that I had the ice maker. I am still waiting for my refund. I will NEVER buy LG again!! Not only are they manufactured in Korea, they are also headquartered in Korea. Forget about getting anyone to help.

    HAS NOT WORKED SINCE DAY 1. I bought this a Lowe's in Burleson Texas on May 3, 2023. It is now May 26, 2023 and I have had 2 repair days with no results and it did not work from day one. I am super mad that LOWE'S obviously knows they are selling bad appliances because they stopped taking returns in March 2023. You have to have it back in store in 48 hours or NO REFUND! It was a weekend after I purchased it and I did not contact them until the following Tuesday to discuss returning the broken fridge. THEY HAVE to know they are selling bad products. Why else would they say NO to a refund of a brand new appliance? LG has sent repair man out 2x. New compressor didn't fix it so he is now going to replace the motherboard and condenser because I requested a buyout from LG and they won't give me my money back until there have been two repairs on the same part.

    I guess they just replace all the parts to force you to keep it longer even though it don't work, Lowe's gets to keep interest on my money and I have NO fridge at all. This model has a 2% failure...I would guess it's much higher, but the repairman said this model has known issues in 2% of them. Not only am I out that money sitting in Lowe's bank account, but I have had to miss 2 full days of work for repairs and it is still waiting for more days of repairs to come.

    My LG refrigerator quit working after 5 years. The compressor went out but was covered for longer. Contacted LG for a warranty repair, it took LG two weeks to locate an authorized facility. Both LG and I called this facility several times over a period of 3 weeks, but no appointment was ever made. LG told me they had No other authorized facilities in my area so they issued me a Refund check that was a fourth of what I paid for the refrigerator. I ended up contacting another one of LG's authorized repair facilities located an hour away on the other side of the state and had to add $500 along with the check LG sent me to get my refrigerator fixed.

    LG doesn't care about its customers. During this ordeal I ended up purchasing a small dorm refrigerator from Home Depot, while I was there I looked at New full size units in case I needed to buy a new one, both associates that were working told me they don't recommend LG due to the number of faulty compressor issues. I'll purchase a Whirlpool next time, this is my First and Last LG appliance.. LG doesn't care about their customers...

    I really enjoy writing favorable reviews. In this case, I cannot. We had a home fire, then switched all of our appliances to LG. The refrigerator is 3 years old and stopped working Saturday, May 6, 2023. We were told it was probably the compressor and under warranty, and we should contact a local appliance repair. We called Metropolitan on Monday, they came out on Wednesday, May 10 and confirmed it was the compressor. They said LG is known for bad compressors on their refrigerators.

    He said it would take 2-3 days to order since they didn't have one in stock. They called today, May 16, and we were told it should be at the shop on Friday the 19th and they would be out Monday May 22. If they show up as planned it will be OVER 2 WEEKS WITHOUT A REFRIGERATOR. This is beyond terrible service, there has been no communication at all from LG. I would highly recommend NOT purchasing LG products based on their terrible service, they just don't care.

    Bought a very expensive LG refrigerator 18 mos. Ago. Three weeks ago, it just stopped making ice. Craft ice and ice machine in the door. After reviewing the owners manual and watching numerous lg videos on Youtube we were unable to fix the issue. I called lg customer service and was told the refrigerator stopped making ice because it needed a software update. There is nothing in the manual stating this might be the issue, nor did I receive any notification from lg that this was a mandatory update to keep the refrigerator running properly. One week later, craft ice is working but ice machine in door is not working. Again, nothing in the manual or lg website for troubleshooting this issue.

    Called lg customer service and was told to unplug the refrigerator for 10 seconds then replug. Craft ice is working, ice indoor is making ice but not dispensing. When I press the reset button, the ice tray empties and fills with water. Nothing is caked with ice and the sensor arm works effortlessly. Called lg this morning and was told they have no way of knowing what is wrong and that I will have to coordinate with an lg service representative to come out and figure out what is wrong. Of course this $4,000 refrigerator is 18 months old so there is no warranty and all costs (which they could not provide) will be my responsibility. The customer service guy, ken, was rude, condescending and of no help at all, only to inform me that it was my problem. So disappointed, and felt extremely disrespected. Horrible experience.

    My story begins Feb 8th with the purchase of 3 identical refrigerators with top freezer offer, a factory installed filtered water dispenser and option ice maker. Our company has many apartments for rent in the downtown area and these refrigerators were selected base on 33” wide dimensions and convenience features. Refrigerators arrived on or about Feb 15th 2023 but the optional ice makers were backed ordered.. Ice makers arrive 1st April and installed as accordance to LG instructions. Instructions state it sometimes takes 24 to 48 hours to make ice. After 72 hours no ice. Go back to retail we purchased from to inform and they sent technicians to investigate. They were unable to resolve the issue. Next step LG sends their authorized technician and his conclusion was the the plug and play wire harness was defective and that no current was feeding the servo that supplied water to the ice maker.

    I personally have spent over 10 hours of my time, multiple trips back to the retailer and logged more than 11 phone calls to LG attempting without success to get someone of authority at LG to resolve our issues. As of today’s date I am still waiting. Customer service is a crap shoot. If you’re lucky you get someone working in the office of LG and in some cases I got CS individual working from home who were rude and twice hung up on me.

    I purchased an LG refrigerator about 7 years ago, one of the reasons besides the features was that it had a 10 year warranty on the compressor. So this past weekend, opened the refrigerator and it was warm, freezer was thawing out. I spent several hours on hold trying to get a hold of someone, and then my wife got a hold of someone the following day after being on hold for hours. They could barely speak English, and there was no one in the area that could work on it, and was told it would be cheaper for us to buy a new one than to pay someone to come from hours away to work on it. I talked to some local repair facilities and no one would do it because they said LG does not pay their warranty claims. I have medication that has to be refrigerated, so had to buy a new refrigerator. Not happy and my new refrigerator is not an LG.

    Original Review: March 7, 2023

    I had the compressor go out on my LG refrigerator. The compressor was covered by warranty, but the labor was not. I contacted LG and tried to find service in my area. They gave me phone numbers for people that did not work on LG's or else they did not come to my rural area. She offered to give me a rebate to purchase a new refrigerator. I agreed to that, so she asked me to send her proof of purchase & model number and serial tag from the unit. I did all that and never heard from her again. Customer service will not respond to emails or texts. She gave me a reference number that the rebate dept. does not have. This was all a big waste of time. I do not recommend anyone purchase an LG appliance if they want a reliable customer service. All you get is a runaround when you call.

    LG is a worldwide brand with great products, but unfortunately, the French-door refrigerator has a BASIG SHAMEFUL PROBLEM. The water filter needs a technician to be replaced. This is the second filter replacement since we bought this unit, and it is the second time that we had to call an LG technician to do something that was supposed to be so simple, changing a water filter, and worse, we have to pay the technician to do it, pay for a problem that is not ours. I’ve spoken to other LG French-door refrigerator and they have the same problem.

    A simple water filter replacement. How did the designers, engineers, quality control missed this simple item. One of the only things that a owner needs to do, changing a filter, and it cannot be done easily. SUCH A SHAME LG. Are we going to have to call your technician every time that the water filet needs to be replaced??? Besides paying for the filter we will always have to pay for it to be replaced?

They were unable to find an authorized warranty provider in my area, and eventually offered to pay me out and I would have to scrap the unit. This sounded absurd to me, so I offered to locate, and pay a repair provider. The LG Presidential liaison I had been communicating with agreed to this and offered to reimburse me after I paid for the repairs.

    After only 9 months of use we cut our losses and got rid of our new LG refrigerator (model # LMWC23626S). The reasons are twofold: poor product performance and even worse aftermarket service. Due to pandemic supply issues the appliance was ordered in November 2020 and delivered late January 2021. This was a proactive approach for a home we were building. The refrigerator was securely stored in its shipping box till its installation in March 2022 (home construction was delayed due to the pandemic). Within a month the fridge stopped working, registering a “FF” (freezer fan) error code. Rebooting the appliance only led to a repeat of the same error code.

    We were able to contact a LG warranty technician after a lengthy navigation through their automated customer service phone system. He spent a short time trying to figure out the problem and said we needed a service visit. We were then notified that the appliance was no longer under warranty. After discussion we were awarded a 1 month “courtesy” warranty. An in home service visit was scheduled for 7 days through LG’s contracted service and repair company. They were a no show on the scheduled day. We later learned that the technician noted that no one was home, even though we spent the allotted service window (8AM-5PM) at home.

    The next “earliest available” appointment was 5 weeks out. By that time we had to purchase a “rescue” fridge. The night before the appointment we plugged the fridge back in and the error code did not reappear. The next day the technician said the fridge was working fine but did no diagnostic testing (other than looking at the display) nor took any temperature readings of either the fridge or freezer compartments.

    Two months later we came to the conclusion that the fridge was not cooling. Even on the lowest settings (fridge 32, freezer -7) the fridge would not go below 40 and the freezer below 20. Since we were now out of warranty and did not want to wait 5 weeks for a repair we contacted an independent appliance repairman. He diagnosed a faulty evaporator fan. He ordered an OEM fan but this took 12 weeks (the first LG fan delivered was defective). Following this repair we still did not have a fridge that would cool even close to specs and decided to replace it with a model from another brand.

    We cannot recommend an LG refrigerator. First the product was defective out of the box but navigating the byzantine LG customer service was both time consuming, frustrating and disappointing. Second, LG contracts repairs through a Sears subsidiary (A&E Factory Service) for which they have only one technician in SW Virginia. He awarded us only a cursory, incomplete and subpar visit. Also it is virtually impossible to talk with a live person and we were at the mercy of an incomplete automated system that provided misleading information.

    Warning - Do not buy any LG products. They do not care about their customers or whether their product functions the way that they advertise. They give you the run around and do nothing but run you in circles hoping you will get frustrated and go away. Our brand new refrigerator came with a factory defect and trying to get LG to repair or replace it has been a frustrating and time consuming effort. Their solution - give me a refund, take my refrigerator and the be without a refrigerator for 3-6 weeks while we wait for another refrigerator to be delivered. REALLY? Be without a refrigerator for weeks is their solution? Bottom line - they got our money and they do not care whether we have a product that is 100% functional. So after 6 weeks and counting, we have a brand new refrigerator that will not dispense water and an door alarm that goes off when the doors are securely closed.

    On 10/31/2022 the refrigerator again stopped working. This time I called LG and they sent a repair person. He stated a line from the compressor was clogged. It would cost me $779.00 to get it repaired and he can’t get the part to repair it for three weeks. I do not have a second refrigerator so this is not an option. The repair person also stated LG refrigerators are junk and I should get rid of it because I would continue to have problems with it. I will be purchasing a new refrigerator and will never buy another LG product.

    I bought a new LG Elite refrigerator when we bought a house. It lasted exactly 4 years before it started not cooling effectively. I called local places to see if they could repair it and they all said the same thing. LG refrigerators are disposable. They last 4 or 5 years and then the plastic parts they use instead of metal parts start to fail. They wouldn't even try to repair them because the basic components are so poor. DO NOT BUY AN LG REFRIGERATOR!!!!

    Like so many others, the compressor on my refrigerator stopped working at 4 years, while still under warranty. Upon contacting LG, I was told no technicians were available and to give 5 business days to allow LG to look for a repair person and to get the first diagnostic appointment scheduled. Who knows how long to get diagnosis, part ordered, replaced, but after a quick web search it looked like several months seemed to be quite possible. I decided I couldn’t wait. So, I paid over $1600 in repairs (and threw out $500 in food). I have tried to get reimbursement from LG, but they are saying I had to go through them to get warranty work completed.

    2015 fridge stopped cooling and found 10 year parts warranty still applicable, YAY. However no labor is covered. This is an inline compressor - not something one fixes themselves and the labor cost is 1/3 the cost of new fridge. I called LG and asked for anyone who could offer a rebate, discount or other compensatory incentive to alleviate the painful labor cost. NOTHING not a coupon, discount, nothing. I had already purchased a new LG fridge and out of desperation, I took what was in stock (so many places make you order and do not have stock).

    The new LG fridge was very similar to old fridge with door-in door, 2 icemakers etc. But I soon found many sad differences. 1. The door-in-door space is smaller 2. Craft icemaker in the bottom freezer (at 6 balls of ice in 24 hrs, why not put the craft icemaker in the smaller door space - I loved my 5lb of ice in the bottom freezer and now it is just wasted space with 6 balls of ice). BTW - craft ice maker stopped working in 90 days. 3. The shelf configuration is limited. My old LG had a better variety of configuration options.

    The Positive is the large middle-flex drawer, but honestly, the old fridge had a similar drawer (large enough to hold a pizza) it just didn't have the flex freezer/fridge capability. I am debating paying for the labor to fix the old fridge because I loved the utility of it- particularly the 2 icemakers. So disappointed with the new fridge. Buyer be wary. For those with >5 year fridge, there is a parts warranty for 7 years and compressors for 10 years, FYI it is in the manual and is covered for parts only. :)

    We have an LG refrigerator. It's 5 years old. On one of the handles there is a a small rectangular trim piece on the surface of a button. It measures 3/4' X 1-3/8". It's plastic but the surface looks like chrome. It's held on by 2 very small plastic hooks that are moulded into the back of the trim piece. One of the tiny hooks broke off and the piece now won't stay on. A new one should cost no more that a couple of dollars. But to get that tiny piece one has to buy the entire door handle for $116 plus shipping! I will never buy another LG product!

    Writing this review to reinforce what is already known about these refrigerators, they stop freezing. Bought in 2011, it stopped really freezing goods not too long after we bought it. Completely stopped freezing in the 9th year, paid labor to put in warranty-supported compressor, two years later it is not working. I think 10 years is not long for a refrigerator, it saddens me to think of adding this one to our collective junk heap and having to find another. My previous fridge lasted 20 years. Nay.

    I have one of the refrigerators with the know compressor issue, purchased less than 5 years ago. It went out at least 2 weeks ago (I wasn't home). I called LG for service 2 weeks ago. 1 week went by and I hadn't heard back so I called again. At first I was told that a repair person was scheduled to come out that day, I was confused because no one had contacted me to schedule. I was then told that was a mistake, they'd sent the request to the field service dept and it had been sent back to LG due to no technicians available.

    Someone dropped the ball and didn't contact me. I stated that if repair could not be scheduled, I needed a replacement. I was assured the issue was being escalated and if the repair couldn't be done in the policy window of 15 day a replacement was an option. Several calls, emails, text messages of scheduling, canceling and rescheduling I'm told that LG no longer offers replacement but only a retroactive payment depending on the age of the fridge. Finally, I have an appointment scheduled but it's outside of the 15 day window and At this point I learn that the 15 day window is fluid, depending on the inability of LG to schedule a tech, it could be 30 days! From someone in the Vice-presidents office, the policy changed 2 weeks ago, being the day I initially called.

    How is it ethical to sell someone a product with stated warranty information, have lawsuits for the same known failure and when someone raises the issue the policies are changed to suit the company's needs? Shouldn't new policies and warranty changes be applied to newly purchased items? I've lost between $500-$600 in groceries, frozen meat and medication, as well as spending another $15-$25 dining out and trying to keep medications (human and pet) on ice, for over 2 weeks.

    I'm already out an average of $830 and may or may not actually have my warranty repair done in 2 days, as currently scheduled on a known faulty compressor. I know you see a ton of bad reviews because people are angry for one reason or another but PLEASE escalated issues such as this. A warranty is supposed to be legally binding, as published on date of purchase. Not some "fluid" policy that is constantly altered to fit the needs of a company that cannot figure out how to properly address their known shortcomings.

    I bought an LG refrigerator new from Lowe's in January 2020. 2.5 years later in July 2022 the compressor failed and we lost all contents of our freezer and refrigerator. We contacted LG, along with several repair techs and it was confirmed that our compressor had failed. We could not find anyone willing to fix it and LG refused to help get us a repair tech and refused to honor their 5 year parts and labor warranty on the compressor. We had no choice but to buy a new unit. I could not believe this treatment from such a large and well-known corporation so I googled this issue to see if anyone else encountered this. WOW now I know what horrible ethics this company has and how little they care for their consumers!

    They had a class action lawsuit against them for this very issue that happened with my refrigerator, and they STILL have given me the runaround and have refused to help. Now, after complaining to the BBB, they are somehow able to find a tech that can come to my house sending someone out to 'fix' my unit more than 5 weeks later. That does me NO good at this point and they know it. A refund and reimbursement for lost food would be the RIGHT thing for this multimillion dollar corporation to do.

    TL;DR: LG is in several class action law suits over the same issue. Reviews posted with 5 star reviews are misleading and paint a rosy picture of the first 6-12 months. The compressors give out and it is a ** to get someone to repair a LG refrigerator. After two years, I came home to a puddle on the bottom of my LG fridge. I called a handyman who immediately pointed me to LG since it was a fairly new fridge to have compressor issues.

    I call LG and right away they say they will send someone out. The first company never shows, and LG makes me wait and wait and wait. It's two weeks before they start escalating the case. At this point they send out another service tech out who keeps saying to me "due to emergency" they won't be making it after all. LG now says that nothing they can do. Lg says they have to wait certain amount of time before they even consider just replacing the dud refrigerator. At this point I've taken several days off work waiting for a tech to show up (BTW these LG certified techs that they are sending do not answer calls for some reason).

    On the 4th week LG changes the repair company again. This time someone shows up after hours on hold begging for service. The tech advises that it might be my house's power and not actually the refrigerator (it wasn't). They order parts... more waiting. The part arrives and must wait even longer for them to have time to install. When they finally change the board... it's not the board at all. Tech says LG will have the choice to rebuild or replace and that the latter is cheaper and more likely. Already beyond frustrated and eating out of a cooler for weeks I keep being patient. LG finally decides that they will not replace the unit and rather they will rebuild... so now we have to wait for all the parts and start the waiting again. On the 7th weeks everything is set up tech finally shows up and hours later we have refrigeration.

    I believe that hundreds of dollars on lost food and the stress of being in this situation is not worth it and will never buy LG again. This won't affect them, plenty of people still shop there, But if someone is here looking for pros and cons, this is it. These refrigerators are not built to last, LG does not care that they cause harm to their clients. They rather make you lose your mind in frustration than simply replace an item that they know is busted. See it's not just me, there is a whole class action lawsuit (more than one according to the tech) over compressor issues for refrigerators that do not work. TL;DR LG REFRIGERATOR WILL LAST TWO YEARS OR LESS, AVOID IF POSSIBLE.

LG gave me 3 different repair companies to call, saying parts and labor were covered, go get it fixed. NONE of the repair companies provided could or would fix it. Called back LG...They said I could find a repair person on my own and they would pay for parts and labor. The only one I found to come said, he wouldn't wait on LG for payment, I needed to pay him and then seek reimbursement from LG. LG sent parts to him, after several days, parts came and we scheduled repair. Paid 1300, tried to submit to LG...then for the FIRST time in the 2-3 week process they tell me the max for labor is 500. If they told me that I would have never repaired it....

    This is not a company run well and now getting them to stand behind what they said has been like pulling teeth. Now I know why the repair man would not take payment directly from LG. I am currently out 1300 while they "escalated" my case to a higher department. I was given case numbers and approval numbers and a LETTER OF AUTHORIZATION for the repair man to fix the fridge....then when it's time to actually pay, LG stalls and changes the story.

    Trying to have refrigerator repairs done under warranty has been an exercise in frustration and has been an utter waste of time. Repair technicians and customer service personnel did not communicate with me appropriately regarding their ability to honor the scheduled repair time. In addition, the repair appointment was scheduled before the required parts were even available. The repair technician didn't show up when he was supposed to and no one contacted me about his inability to make the appointment. He was supposed to call back before the end of the day, and I received no call.

    Only upon calling the next day was I able to find out that the replacement part was not even available since it wasn't ordered until the day before the service appointment. I've had to delay vacation and take time off work just to try to accommodate the service appointment for having the refrigerator fixed under warranty. I'm very disappointed with this service and vow to never purchase another LG product in my lifetime. The company seems to take pride in their ratings for customer satisfaction and warranties, so it's surprising that they would allow this to happen.

All these companies said they would not perform LG warranty work because of the lack of timely payment. I again called LG customer service and requested an in house technician and was told none were available and to go back to their recommended service providers with a APN or approval number.

    The unit is 4 years old, which to my understanding is the longevity of their appliances. Of course I bought the 3 year extra warranty, but conveniently, the unit breaks down after the warranty period is up. LG has given me no support, nor have held up their end of consumer to manufacturer deal. We gave them all the money requested for the product, now they won't stand behind the junk they're selling.

Yesterday the tech comes & confirms it’s the compressor & gives me a $1,200 estimate!!! He says lg didn’t send them a warranty approval & I have to contact them before he can order the part.

    Took advantage [at least we thought we were] of a 4th of July sale at a local Home Depot when the fridge we had, was hanging on by a thread. Narrowed it down to a Home Depot exclusive LG Model with the bottom freezer option. Wasn't a great deal at the time, but just needed one, on stock and delivered quickly. It became an even less of a deal about a 10 months in and it started making some awful noises randomly and the vegetable bin frame work, which is entirely plastic with recessed glass panels, cracked without any level of impact or stress, just the cold seemed to affect the cheap plastic.

    One of the clear door shelves also started showing crackage...and spread significantly in a week's time. Such so, called LG to see if it was warranteed. They sent a new door shelf, the bin frame was on backorder with zero ETA. The shelf too 2 months to arrive. Then the fateful day arrived when opening the freezer revealed everything has thawed...The compressor was cycling and lost about 300 dollars worth of contents.

    Called LG, they ran through a series of over the phone diagnostics. Nothing worked...and was told this was a Home Depot model that was made selectively for them, and parts were tricky, as he also stated it had a sealed compressor system and were expensive to fix. After an hour on the phone, he stated it was not under warranty and they could arrange a LG approved repair and was 6 weeks out. Told them it was unacceptable...as he also stated the compressors were sealed and very expensive to repair [1,000 bucks ++]. So lesson learned and decided to move on.

    The lesson being, to never buy a store exclusive model, look more into the compressor system. If it's sealed, run don't walk away from these. The plastic they use is cheap, and the model selected was necessarily cheap, just ended up being a waste of time and money. Ended up replacing the frame work on Sears Parts Direct 3 weeks before the refrigerator died, to add insult to injury.

    Replaced with a Fisher and Paykel and couldn't be happier. I would never buy another LG appliance based on the quality, the price or the fact that it had a sealed compressor unit. 1200 for the fridge, 225 for parts thrown into it to essentially became landfill fodder.

    Fridge (French door double drawer freezer under) was delivered on 12/23/21. In March 2022 we came home to a mess of water all over the floor, water inside the fridge and under the fridge, we had to shut the water off to the fridge to prevent any further damage to our home, LG was called and they sent a technician out to arrive within a 4 hour window (he was 2 hrs past the 4 hour window). A whole day was lost waiting. The technician took a panel off the right door, pushed a hose back in and called it fixed, I asked him, "Is this going to happen again? Does it need any parts replaced?" He assured me it was fixed and the same problem would not happen again. Jump forward almost 45 days and the same issue, again LG was called. The customer service person really didn’t care. LG needs to replace this fridge. It has done enough damage to our home and we don’t trust the repair technician. Why do we not make anything in America? Tired of this.

    I have had this refrigerator for almost exactly one year, and I've had to get it serviced twice already. This refrigerator came with the house I purchased, so I cannot speak to the buying process or why the previous homeowner purchased it, but it has been nothing but a problem since I assumed ownership. It makes an incredibly loud, very annoying whirring sound periodically, which I have come to learn is ice buildup on the cooling motor. In the first six months of owning it, I had a service technician come out and "manually defrost" the freezer. Then, a couple of weeks ago, the noise started again. I called LG and they again sent someone out. The customer support rep said it was covered under warranty, but when the service tech came out, they said it was not covered and they charged me $400.

    In trying to connect with LG, the online chat was absolutely no help (I chatted with 5 TV support reps) so I had to call. In speaking with the refrigerator support rep (finally), I was informed that the previous rep did not put in the notes that the refrigerator was under warranty (insinuated that I was lying). All in all, it was a horrible experience, and I will never buy another LG refrigerator again.

    Product was okay and was working fine. But when the PCB got damaged, reported to the service team and the way they responded was horrible. After filing the case always I called them for the updates and they never called me back. Made a feeling that after sale support is not their business. No one in the support team was ready to take any decision and always asked me to contact different focal points. Even though the product was good am utterly disappointed about their service support.

    We have had problems with our refrigerator since we got it. Water dispenser and ice maker doesn’t work properly and LG technician could never get this repaired. Then the second problem was a loud noise which was repaired by a technician who replaced a cable. Now, the worst problem, the compressor is broken. We have been without the refrigerator for two weeks now without hearing anything from LG despite the several calls I have made. The customer service is so poor, one time I called and I could hear a baby crying, another time the representative was yawning on the phone, she was almost sleeping. This is absolutely unacceptable!

    I have always been a big fan of LG products which I thought represented quality and craftsmanship. We bought an LG Refrigerator, microwave, stove and dishwasher back in 2019 from ABT in Glenview Illinois. The refrigerator stopped working after 1 year due to a defective motherboard that prompted ABT to replace the entire unit. Last Saturday April 9th the refrigerator started leaking and the temperature went up quickly causing the loss of all food in the fridge and freezer. We were unable to fix the issue so we called LG directly because we were so disgusted. They referred us to a service company called A&E who booked our service for the earliest possible date of Thursday April 14th.

    On the evening of Wednesday April 13th A&E called to cancel the appointment and they informed me they would not be able to come out until April 22nd leaving me without a refrigerator, freezer or ice maker for another 8 days. I expect a refrigerator to last for at least 10 years but this one was replaced after only 1 year and now it has again stopped working for a 2nd time in 3 years. DO NOT buy LG products unless you want colossal headaches. I will never again purchase an LG Product. When I called ABT they informed me of a class action lawsuit filed against LG because of problems with their refrigerators. My model is one of the units covered in the lawsuit. Please do yourself a favor and do not buy LG products.

I called Sears Service for repair since LG will not deal with a Sears product of theirs. I paid Sears $584 to come and replace the fan, and fan control. This was the FIX that LG told Sears would solve the problem. It's now 4 months after the "fix" and the problem is back! It's now past the Sears warranty, so I will have to pay again f I want this LG piece of garbage fixed again. Bottom line is simple. DO NOT BUY AN LG REFRIGERATOR FROM ANYONE EVER.

    I have been a follower of Consumers Reports for many years. When my 11 yr. old Electrolux started making noises I figured it was time to look for a new refrigerator. I was very happy with the French Dr. Electrolux so I chose to look for similar replacement. I went to Consumer Reports and found that it rated the LG LFXS28S96S/04 as the best French Door available.

    On 11-2-2021 I purchased one from Costco. I was very happy with most of the features, until it started making ice. Within a few days the door ice maker would not drop any ice. Upon checking I found that the ice in the small door ice maker were clumped together. Reading the instructions I had to break the clumps so the ice would come down the chute. In thirty years I had never encountered such a problem. I have a fifteen year old Maytag still working and prior to that a Sears which never gave me any problems with the ice maker. I cannot understand how Consumer Reports would have given the LG such high reviews that testing an actual use of the unit would have shown the problems with the door ice maker. I saw later that other consumers of the LG refrigerators have experience the same problems I did.

    Update 1/27/2022:

    On 20 Jan 2022, LG contacted me and related that they are looking for a provider to service my Refrigerator. My initial complaint was sent to them on 19 Jan 2022. On 25 Jan 2022 (six days later) I received a call/voicemail from "Provider" (someone hired by LG to service my refrigerator) asking me to call them back to set-up an appointment to evaluate/service my unit. I researched the phone number, identified the provider and observed that their one page (80% functional) web presence identified that they serviced refrigerators (from their site: Refrigerator Repair: Cleaning the Condenser; Cleaning the drain line; Cleaning the drip pan; Manually defrosting ice build ups; Replacing air damper seals; Adjustment or replacement of door or door gaskets). Absolutely no where did they reference diagnostics; systems evaluations; cooling system trouble-shooting and repair, Nothing.

    So, using the email address depicted on their site, I emailed them. Asked for them to verify that they did indeed have the necessary training and certifications to service my refrigerator. I also stated that I would need to validate their business (License; certifications; insurance; etc.). On 26 Jan 2022, late in the day, I receive an obscure robo call relating that "My parts have been ordered and that once the parts come in that they would contact me and establish a time for a technician to return and repair my refrigerator, and if I had any questions, refer to "Provider's" website (by name)". Wow, no one has been at my house, let alone evaluated my refrigerator.

    Needless to say, I am livid. LG not only produces Sub-standard products; fails at responding effectively to the customer in a timely manner; they completely lack any form of integrity. Imaging the unmitigated gaul it takes, for a Multimillion Dollar Company, to "Search" for a provider with the technical training/certifications, history of certified good service, that are licensed/bonded and insured meeting their (LG's) "High Standards" and come up with a company, that has two locatable addresses, both resolving to Apartment complexes, with a single faulty web page for an internet presence, a page of which does not identify any technical repairs (refer above), is not certified/trained to do the technical aspects required to repair a Refrigerator (nor do they profess to this), nor do they have any verifiable insurance covering the conduct of their business, absolutely NO information relating to their business, anywhere. In other words they (LG) simply looked for anyone willing to do the warranty work, did not vet the business or conduct any action to verify that the business they "Hired" were capable of doing the job let alone legitimate.

    You have to ask yourself: What type of a business simply hands out their warranty work to ANYONE who responds saying "I can do that, Trust Me - wink, wink" and hand them the contract?; Imagine allowing people who are "complete unknowns" with NO certifiable background, into your home to service your $3,000 refrigerator, because LG fully backs them as an LG certified service provider. ARE YOU KIDDING ME.

    Please note that there are Dozens of Certified/insured/very reputable appliance services in Colorado Springs; hundreds in the Denver Area.... Yep LG really did their research. We can pull up certified providers in seconds on the internet, it only took LG six days to find a business that could not perform the job.

    We purchased an LG French Door; Instaview Door-In-Door refrigerator on 1 July 2018 from Best Buy (model: LMXC23796M; GR-X23GHMJM.AMTCNAO). It was delivered on 5 July 2018. We paid just over $3,000.00 for it. To our great misfortune, at some point yesterday/evening it died without any warning/indication there was a problem. The lights work; the gauges appear to function; it just appears to be warming the items within now. Of course the couple hundred $$ worth of food within... I guess that is another reason why we have dumps. I'm in my 60s and have never in my life owned; seen or have knowledge of anyone's refrigerator failing in such a short period of time, and without the slightest indication it was going to fail. I simply cannot recommend LG to anyone. They simply do not last, which makes them junk.

An LG technician came in and told me he had bad news for me, he could not work in the unit due to Sulfur Contamination and his company advised him not to fix the unit. When I asked him, what could cause such contamination, he said it is because the "Chinese Drywalls". Our refrigerator Model #LSXS26366D is in the list of defective linear compressors in the LG Class Action Lawsuit. Our previous refrigerator was plugged in the same area for 13 years and never had a problem. We moved the old refrigerator to the garage, and it is still working under heat and humidity in a Florida garage. Our Air condition company certified that all our lines are clean with no contamination. All the appliances in our house are working properly, including our LG Washer and Dryer.

    Today I called a specialized company in the Chinese drywall detection and they never heard of a refrigerator failing due to Chinese drywalls. This is not possible. Also, they mentioned that a Technician can't diagnose a contamination without testing the particles. I work in a power plant company in Florida and all the Engineers stated that the compressor is in a sealed environment with no co-relation to the outside elements. I have called the LG Customer Service multiple times requesting a written service call invoice as the Technician did not leave a written diagnose. LG refused to produce the document and the customer service rep hanged up on me.

    The second customer service told me to call a third-party repair company a pay out of my pocket. Today another rep offered 20% rebate on a new purchase. Again, the refrigerator is three years old and under warranty for five years under a Class Action Settlement for this Unit. There is no proof and no explanation on writing of the cause of failure. Yesterday we called again, and the customer service rep said that our refrigerator is irreparable. She transferred us to a Supervisor by the name Arthur, we request a diagnose on writing and he said not to be allowed to send emails and he will send a request a copy of the service call. Please help us to receive repair for our fridge under warranty. Thank you.

    I purchased an LG refrigerator with a pull-out freezer in 2016. I have purchased a lot of LG products and been fairly satisfied until now. At the beginning of the Global Pandemic the compressor on the fridge broke. I waited several weeks for someone to repair it. I had just done a fairly extensive grocery shop because we were headed into lockdown. I lost a lot of food and it was impossible to even purchase a small bar fridge or freezer - everything was out of stock. LG's customer service was horrible.

    They call you back in 3-5 business days with an appointment for a technician to come fix it. And you are waiting another week or more for that appointment - all with no fridge! I think I was 3 weeks without a working fridge. The fridge did get fixed but the technician didn’t protect my hardwood floors so I have about a dozen floorboards that got damaged and it took about a year to get that resolved.

    Well here we are Friday, Dec 17, 2021, and the compressor is shot again! I speak to their customer service and someone will call me back in 3-5 business days to book me a technician to fix it. Unreal. This will be the 3 rd compressor in a fridge not even 10 years old. I do not recommend LG. This LG fridge is complete garbage. In an age where we need to be mindful of adding more crap to our landfills, I think LG (and any other company that produces garbage products) should be held accountable ie a fine, for producing such crappy products.

So, I called LG and requested a refund of the cost to replace it with a new refrigerator. Obviously the refrigerator and/or LG part is defective. The LG rep told me LG would not authorize a refund until another repair was done per LG PROCESS. I asked to speak with a LG supervisor who offered me a 15% rebate towards purchase of another LG refrigerator.

I was then told by the LG rep that after the second service appointment, if LG refrigerator is still not working, then they would be able to proceed with a refund request. I again asked for a second spoiled food compensation, and was told this was only offered once a year. Therefore, we would not be compensated for second set of spoiled food.

    I went ahead and set up second service appointment on Nov 18th, while I figure out our next step. I spoke with A&E to try to get a sooner appointment, and queried whether they were using a new or refurbished part for my repair. I was told the part is ordered directly from LG to complete the service repair. So again, the defect is in the LG parts.

    NOT SATISFIED! After 6 years of use the linear compressor failed. We were 1 year late in taking advantage of the Class Action against LG for their faulty compressors. While our compressor itself is covered for 10 years it is still going to cost us $800 to get the new compressor installed. What happen to QUALITY!!!

    I gave a one star review when my ice maker broke and I failed to realize it wasn't user error within the warranty period. LG immediately reached out and much to my surprise, a repairman fixed it today for free. So I must eat my words and I've learned I should probably call them first. I have to say, all my other LG appliances and electronics have outlasted average lifespan.

    Original Review: Oct. 29, 2021

    The ice maker in lower freezer stopped producing ice at 11 months. I thought we caused it leaving door ajar (kids). I tried defrosting it. We tried resetting it. Eventually researched and found it's a common problem. My warranty is now up so I'm paying to have it fixed. I would never pay this much for a product that had a reputation for such issues. Historically I've done well with LG washers, dryers, electronics. This fridge really upsets me.

    1.5 years after buying a brand new LG stove, it broke down. Brand new LG fridge and freezer broke after 3-4 years and we called someone to fix it at the same time, they told us it would be $80 to bring someone in. We agreed. They then told us everything had to be replaced and charged us $400 for that information without a single warning that we would have additional charges after that $80. Instead we were told "when repairs are made the $80 would be subtracted from the repair cost" except the repair cost was more than a new appliance. STAY AWAY.

This unit fulfills all of our needs, it allows my wife to look in the freezer and look at everything at a glance instead of searching like she had to in our old one. The refrigerator portion is much more spacious and we have yet to fill it up yet.

    I bought a 4 door LG refrigerator. It's a French door on top with 2 freeze drawers in the bottom. I paid about $50 more to get a counter depth which is fantastic for the space in my modular home with an air vent in front of the space. This model has plenty of space in the refrigerator compartment. It looks like changing the water filter will be easy and convenient.

    It does have a drawer at the bottom which is nice but it would have been a better design if it would slide out when only one door is open on the refrigerator. You have to have both doors open to utilize the space. The same with the right side drawer that holds produce. You can't get it open all the way before the left edge hits the center strip of the left side French door. I have only had it a month so will have to do another review after 5 years. This LG is a replacement for a 4 1/2 year Samsung that had constant problems with the ice maker freezing up.. I Will never buy Samsung products again. Their Customer Service is atrocious.

    I had a high regard for LG prior to this experience. Indeed, we have many LG items in our home. Now, our refrigerator has failed with a known fault and is not yet being fixed. We had a service appointment today which they cancelled. Rescheduled for 3 weeks later. That will be a month with no refrigerator. We bought what we thought was a high end refrigerator and it has worked great for a short time, but then just quit cooling. LG has been less than exemplary on fixing it. This is a very bad move, company wise. I now have a totally negative impression of LG and any of their products. I will NEVER buy another LG product. I just don't trust them anymore. We have to wait a full month without a refrigerator to find out if our refrigerator will even be fixed. Last LG item of any kind I will ever buy.

    Updated on 11/29/2021: LG kitchen appliance buyer please beware. Again, based on my experience, any potential buyer should do research on the dependability of the product and any posted customer experience comments before purchasing any LG kitchen appliance. I made a post 2 months ago on the unreliable refrigerator I purchased and the lack of customer service from LG. Shortly after that post I got action, but it has turned out to be just lip service. I have provided everything LG requested to get a prorated reimbursement for the refrigerator. I have been told on several occasions the reimbursement is approved and the check has been mailed.

    To this date, 11/29/21, I still have not received the check and I still have an unreliable LG refrigerator. The “promises” of me receiving a reimbursement, which come from as high up of the “liaison of the president”, apparently are meaningless. Bottom line is if you are planning to purchase kitchen appliances please, please consider my situation in order to avoid hours and hours of wasted time and frustration as well as money if you go with LG.

    Original Review: LG kitchen appliance buyer please beware. Based on my experience, any potential buyer should do research on the dependability of the product and the customer experience comments when something does not work like it should. We purchased the French door refrigerator in November 2019. We started having a problem with the freezer compartment getting too warm in April 2021. This is October 2, 2021 and the problem still exists.

    The customer service department scheduled repairs. Nine technicians from two different companies have worked on the refrigerator. Many components have been replaced including thermostats, rear cover panel and the mother board that controls everything. The problem revolves around the defrost cycle and the unit not being able to recover from defrosting. The compartment gets too warm, 41 degrees. The refrigerator compartment also gets to 41 degrees. Multiple times everything in the freezer has thawed and turned to liquid. Ice melts in the ice dispenser and runs on the floor. The issue has been escalated 4 times now. Three of those have been to the Defective Returns Department. They rejected the claim first due to “improper submission of the claim by their representative” and a second time because “the person handling the claim no longer works for the company”.

    I have emailed the President twice without a response even though his webpage says he will respond. My experience has been extremely poor and I still have a defective refrigerator. For $3,100 I expected a unit that would perform and last for a number of years. The company has no doubt spent near that amount of failed repair attempts. I’ve been told that my unit qualifies for either replacement or refund due to the number of repairs and due to the failure of the company to schedule repair within 14 days. This problem is a nightmare and has no resolution within sight. Life’s Not So Good with this kind of customer service and a company that does not stand behind its product. Buyer beware!

    This review is for LG LFX28968ST French door model with a linear compressor whose last four letters/model number end with LANA. Looks like I missed the lawsuit window as mine was purchased in 2013. The fridge had icemaker issues (bad design) throughout the life of usage. Overall a good looking fridge and this compressor failure and follow on process with LG customer service has made me rethink this company. Let's see, LG TV won't be replaced with LG, Washer and Dryer, I will take my business elsewhere, AC unit, never again. LG could have done the right thing and compensated me somehow but they chose not to. I have a great looking fridge but it doesn't perform its basic function due to a badly designed compressor.

    Not one single tech is willing to come out and the ones that do want $1000 to fix it in the Chicago area. LG customer service is silent and all they do is keep sending me 5 techs in my area. I even said to provide me the parts and I will find a handy guy who can help me install it (I am quite familiar with the dangers of R134a to the environment and want someone to recover it and do it right). I am tired of hearing all of these manufacturers don't build them like they used to but LG's reputation on its linear compressors has suffered and they're not doing anything about it. Well, customer service is what differentiates you and LG is not doing that. Your move LG. I leave it to you if you want to retain me as a customer but do it quickly.

    I purchased a refrigerator 6 years ago, but in the last 3 years we have had the compressor go out and LG tech has had to replace it. Since June 2021 I've had 4 tech come out and my unit still does not cool to the temperature it's suppose to be. I've only had 2 good customer service experience. I have noted the agent and time that Iven call. No one has no clue what they are doing or review any notes that I requested to be added to my account. I've asked 4 times to speak to a Supervisor and I'm still waiting for a call. After 3 months, they determined I could get a refund for a % of the cost (which I'm fine with) or repair it again and going forward my warranty would be up and the repairs would be my responsibility. Meanwhile all the techs said this is going to go out again because they had issues with this model.

    I accepted the refund - I'm still waiting for that too. All the advertisements and sites are all false - LG does not stand by their products and definitely does not care how the consumer. I just want a refrigerator that works. After all I did not get it free. I paid almost $4,000.00 for it. As far as a call center they need to hire new people, their customer service skills are extremely unacceptable. That includes supervisors and managers.

    I agree with the majority of the people regarding LG fridge. I purchased an expensive counter depth fridge 5 years and 7 months ago and it completely broke down. Not the compressor but a leakage within the wall of the fridge so it cannot be repaired. I paid $125 to the LG technician to come and inspect to tell me that it cannot be repaired and that I should get a new fridge. The technician also let me know that the leakage was a manufacturing issue not wear and tear. I am aware of the LG settlement and was shy of 7 months to claim anything. LG refuses to do anything about it. So basically all their products are useless. I will never purchase another LG product and will make sure that everyone I know do the same.

    I have owned an LG refrigerator for five years, and have now had 3 times where it stopped sufficiently cooling due to a well known issue with the compressor and other internal components. There is even a class action lawsuit that covers numerous models. Part of the class-action lawsuit requires them to extend the warranty up to 5 years. Since I am now about 7 months past that 5 years warranty, LG will cover the parts to repair, but not the labor. Since the repair is quite involved, it is expensive and therefore not worth it, especially since this would have been the THIRD time to replace the compressor and other parts, and there is no guarantee it would be a durable repair.

    If the third failure of the compressor had happened just 7 months earlier, I would have been entitled, per the terms of the settlement, to compensation. I realize at this point LG is not obligated to do anything beyond the terms of the class action settlement, but it is infuriating to me that a company would produce a product like this, need to have a class action lawsuit to do right by its customers, and seems content to leave me with a product they know is faulty and refuse to take responsibility based essentially on a technicality. It's disgraceful. Avoid LG products. This is a nightmare.

Over one week ago I woke up to water on our wood floor and our fridge all of a sudden no longer working. We called LG immediately to get it repaired and we were told that the "first available appointment" was over one week away. We scheduled it. I then went out and bought a brand new fridge so that my family can eat. We had to throw away a ton of food that we actually just bought the night before. Everything in our fridge was ruined. We spent the next week eating out of a mini fridge and eating out.

    Finally our repair date came and the REAPAIRMAN NEVER SHOWED UP! We were left again calling LG and getting no response because they were closed and have no after hours call center. I had to wake up the next morning at 6am to get on the phone to track down why my service did not take place and get so frustrated so that the repair service sent their "best technician" to smooth things over for LG. After multiple calls, all you get is a call center where NO ONE knows any information at all. They have to escalate through a portal to have someone call you back.

    I am still without a fridge. I leave on vacation tomorrow and nothing has been resolved because the technician could not fix our fridge, because the motherboard is broken on it. 3 years old! The compressor - BROKEN! The Freon - BROKEN!! A FILTER - BROKEN!!!. THE MOTHERBOARD - BROKEN. I asked the tech why, and he said LG is a BAD company, they always break.

Lost hundreds and hundreds of dollars in food and condiments and purchases from around the world we had in our fridge.

    Claims has tried to force a settlement for me to take. That is more of an insult than an offer. Less than half of what was paid for it. This refrigerator was part of a class action lawsuit for the exact reason mine failed and they will not adhere to their own settlement. My opinion is to not purchase an LG.

I called them several times and the last time I called the customer service helped me, she never advised that she was going to send this claim manually.

    She told me that somebody would contact me to see if I was agree with the food compensation, next thing I know I received $100 check in the mail for a whole fridge food loss, I called them and I spoke with the supervisor Ann, she was very rude and reiterated times told me that my warranty expired and LG was nice enough to repair my fridge and they don’t do food losses that they sent me $100 dollar check because they were nice, she told me that there is nothing I can do because the check was issued. They never told me that if an agent do this manually automatically they issued $100 and don’t review my case just send $100. Be aware. Never submit your food loss claim manually. They will send you $100 check. They kept telling me that LG don’t send food losses claim. That if they sent me money is because they were nice and because I have my fridge bad for 5 days $100 was enough.

    I lost a full fridge and what it hurts me the most I lost 100 bags of breastmilk for my baby because of this. I can’t believe they got to decide how much they can give and they don’t live even in U.S. They told me that there is nothing I can do and LG won’t send more. This fridge is in a lawsuit that is why they do food compensation and also they extended the warranty. LG customer service is the worse. Case # **

    Bought the fridge April 2021, had it arrive May 2021. Started using it June 17th 2021. It stopped refrigerating July 4th weekend. Lost $250 worth of food. Called LG, got a work order number.. then no contact from anyone. Contacted LG's presidents office. Got a call saying that A&E would be dispatched to do the repair. 7/13/21 A&E tech arrives. Said he isn't qualified/trained to work on the fridge. 90 Mins later he says 7/29/21 they rescheduled the work order. No one called or arrived from A&E on that date. Aug 2nd, A&E texts me saying that its now Aug 10th.. 10 mins later they text saying Aug 17th. Today.. Aug 17th no one arrived, no one called.. two days taking the day off from work and blown off twice by A&E not showing up...So a $3700 fridge that has been broken since the beginning of July sits in our kitchen with no sign that it will be repaired, replaced, or working anytime soon.

It’s not capable of keeping ice cream and it will freeze and cool good one time and not the next! I’ve been informed by a few servicemen that this is a common problem with the LG compressors and that I'd probably have trouble again and again??!! I have had it with LG!

    We purchased this refrigerator in May 2015. Ice maker has always been marginal, but this last week after we got home from a few days away, we found the refrigerator and freezer not working. No error codes, so we tried a power reset. Still no cooling or freezing. We called the appliance repair from the store we purchased from and their technician came out and verified the compressor had failed. He said their shop would contact LG about getting a repair estimate. We had purchased a 5 year warranty, but were 15 months out of coverage. Started to investigate if this was a common problem and lo and behold, we find there was a class action suit against LG for defective linear compressors. Our model was in the affected date range, however the settlement only covered 5 years after purchase for parts and labor. We are now waiting for a repair estimate. LG compressors are not reliable.

    Do your own research. These fridges are advertised as saving money, but when you spend over $2000 for a piece of junk that only lasted 6 years, do the math. They are not cheaper to own. We went shopping for a replacement and told the sales lady our experience with LG refrigerators and she commented that several of her customers had conveyed the same story about failed LG compressors. It is probably going to make more sense to just purchase a new refrigerator, given the cost of repair labor. Rest assured, it will not be LG or any other LG product in the future. LG is not Life is Good. It is Lucky Goldstar. Our luck ran out.

    Bought a 30 in. W 20.2 cu. ft. Top Freezer Refrigerator in Stainless Steel with Multi-Air Flow and Reversible Door (Model LTCS20020S/00, SER 106MRKU08461) on June 19, Delivered on June 26. It never make any cold. Call LG, sent a service person come on July 1. Said no refrigerant and he had no license to handle it. Called again and again and send another service person come on July 21. It was said that the compressor is out of order plus other issues. Need to order parts which is a back order and will take a long time waiting.

    Called LG asking for a quicker solution. After a long time talking negotiating with a manager called Frances, Frances said waiting for over 15 days (it was almost a month at that time) was not acceptable and said would allow for reimbursement. She also gave me a number to do text communication with her and promised to respond in 24 hours. She did respond in the first several days but just asked me to wait. Then she never respond.

    Another lady called Garilee from the Return Authorization Department also texted me in another similar number to follow up. She first told me it was scheduled to have someone come but no one had come. Then she did not respond for a while then came back asking for update. I text her and never get response. I called again today (August 6) asking for talking to Frances. The customer service did not give me any chance but kicked me to the Return Authorization. Then I was kicked between the customer service and the return authorization a couple times. So, what I can do except desperation.

    I am not blaming Frances or Garilee for not doing what they said would do. It is all because of the attitude of LG to its customers. It reflects that LG cares much more on keeping their working procedures and dollars than taking responsibilities to care its customers. LG rather saves a few dollars than keeping customers away from suffering. Customer's suffering from no use of refrigerators for one and half months means nothing to the company. LG does not want to keep the promises of its service representatives. As customers, do you still want to stick to buying its products? I switched. Though most of my appliances and TV are LG now, I won't buy any from LG. Very disappointed.

    June 5th my brand new LG refrigerator was delivered. July 6th, it make a horrendous noise and stopped working altogether. I called LG, they told me the model didn’t exist. After an hour on the phone, I was finally given a repair date for 26 days later…. almost as long as I had owned it… I said that I needed something better. The best they could do was 10 days later. I took the time off work and the repairman never showed up. After calling LG, they ask me to plug it in. I did and still not working. They told me the service guy was scheduled for the original date and didn’t see another one in their system. No apologies no urgency, no nothing. The night before the guy shows up, I plug it in again, thinking my luck, it will work when he shows up (I had it unplugged for fear of fire because of the horrendous sound it made when it broke). It still didn’t power on.

    The tech shows up the next morning. We chat, I ask him why it takes so long to get service, was it because they were short of help like everyone else? He proceeds to tell me LG refrigerators are the worst and the repairs keep them way too busy. Either the condenser goes bad or they leak. “Great! I just bought one, and it is broken….” He plugs in the refrigerator and my bad luck it is working (after all this time). He packs his bag without testing or looking at anything and starts to leave. I explain to him the noise and the couple times I tried to plug it in and it didn’t power on. He didn’t care, he kept walking and turns around and tells me to call LG.

    Fuming, I call and get told that it will be another 30 days before they can come back. I ask for my issue you be escalated. Hours later the escalation person calls back, I explain everything and he tells me he will send them back but if nothing is found, it will be my responsibility. I tell him that is not possible and they need to do their diligence based on the symptoms described. He hangs up on me. I haven’t been able to get anyone from LG to schedule the service to come back.

    I post a review on their site, surprisingly it didn’t get posted. 4 days later, I have an idea to post a 5 star review and it gets posted within the same day. I add a comment to that review. I stated it was not the real review, the real review was never posted and just shows the lack of integrity of LG. The entire review then was removed by LG. I have had issues with products purchased before. The actions by company when notified is what makes a difference and shows the true value. I have never bought an LG product, it will surely be my last.

    My LG refrigerator stopped cooling on June 26, 2021, so I called LG customer service to schedule a service appt. The young lady told me that my fridge was still under the warranty. I only purchased it in 2017. The warranty says 10 years for the compressor. They said someone would contact me to schedule an appt. No one called me so I called the number customer service provided. The service agent told me he would be at my house on July 6, 2021, but no one showed. I immediately called customer service back to let them know their people were a no-show, and they did not even call to say they were not going to make it. So the customer service rep. told me that someone would be out to fix the problem in 2 days July 8, 2021. I also lost food trying to preserve it thinking someone would come out in a reasonable time to fix it. In two days another no-show.

    I emailed a letter to the company's liaison to the president of the company, she called and I told her what happened. I also filed a claim for reimbursement for my lost food. I asked could I get a replacement refrigerator since no one has come out to fix it. The response was I will put in another order for service. They said they cannot replace it, and made a prorated offer for the fridge and an offer for compensation for the food after some negotiating on my part. As it stands it has been a month with no word back from them. I have reached out numerous times, kept all my correspondence with the company. I had to go into debt to purchase another refrigerator because the freezer also went out on it. I have not received a check for the food neither have I heard anything back from the company about a counteroffer for this broken fridge.

    I only asked for less than $100 dollars more to help toward my other fridge since they said they could not replace it. I will never buy another LG product again. I am still waiting to hear from them and I have been calling 1-888-412-8357 for the RA department to speak with someone, but no one answers the phone.

We noticed that one of exterior door panels has rust bleeding through the finish from top to bottom on just the one door. We purchased an extended warranty through Lowe’s. I was told it was cosmetic and therefore not covered. The warranty company suggested I contact LG to see if maybe they would do something to make it right. I called LG and explained the situation. The representative did not apologize or offer any kind of support. She just simply told me that it was a cosmetic issue and not their problem.

    Another LG appliance failure just over three years after purchase. Over the past year, I went back and forth with LG trying to get someone to repair my oven that was less than three years old and no longer working. After many phone calls, emails, email to company president with no response, I finally resorted to writing a scathing review on Consumer Affairs. My oven ultimately got repaired free of charge and I was happy.

    I purchased a LG LFXC24726S refrigerator on 3/6/2018 along with a full set of appliances. Up to this point, I have been happy with my purchase. I found out this morning that my compressor has failed. I reached out to LG via chat and explained my situation and asked what my options are for getting it fixed, assuming that the company would make it right for a loyal customer. And a loyal customer I am with over $10,000 of LG products in the home between appliances and electronics. I was told that the part has a ten year warranty and I would have to cover any labor costs. I am frustrated as I was appeased when this happened last time when the company provided the labor and part free of charge, as they should given the expense of the appliances and subsequent failure within 3 years. I was told that this is the company policy and they cannot cover labor expenses.

    I strongly believe that anybody with good business acumen takes care of their loyal customers because word of mouth can make or break a company. I am again, very disappointed that LG is not stepping up to the plate to take care of someone who has shown loyalty to the company over many years. I will give them another chance to make this right or else my business will be taken elsewhere in the future to a company who values their consistent customers.

    LG French Door Refrigerator/Freezer- This is the absolute worst appliance I've ever owned, and I've owned a bunch. 1st year of ownership computer board failed. Over next 8 years 3 fans went bad - out of warranty of course. Plastic door edge strips both had to be replaced - 5-7 yrs as the doors wouldn't close completely. Ice-maker was a real piece of junk - always jammed up and never produced a decent quantity of ice. Finally compressor went completely at year 12. Average life of unit is rated at 13 years - almost made it! Also learned that few techs will work on LG or Samsung because these units are not designed to produce error codes for diagnosis of problems. Also keep in mind, LG was formerly Goldstar, a very poor quality South Korean electronics company that was rebranded to LG because of their terrible quality and reputation.

About 90 days ago we scheduled a service call with LG to replace the water and ice dispenser assembly ACQ85430259 which had cracks and other damage to the plastic. This was not warranty, we paid for the part and the service. About a week and a half ago we noticed that some of the plastic had crumbled away again for no reason we know of. We are an older couple with no children or teenagers that might be destructive. We called the infamous LG support number and at first were told that the part would be covered by the warranty on the part, not the warranty on the refrigerator. Since then we have been getting the run around. Phone calls and explanation in each call.

    Three days ago we got a customer service rep in Ohio and not Bangladesh. She said she understood and would "expedite" the situation and someone would call us. Never happened. I called again and got Bangladesh again and after painful explanation she said the part was out of the 90 day warranty by 5 days so we would have to pay for the replacement. I explained that I would never pay for anything from LG again. Instead I will post pictures of the problem all over the internet to make people aware of doing business with LG.

    I bought an LG refrigerator 1 Year and a half ago. It started to make a noise like a plane about to take off. I called Customer service and was told that it was the fan and needed to be manually defrosted. I had never heard such a thing since the 60's. My parents had a Kenmore refrigerator for 50 years and never once had to manually defrost it. So I did as told and removed everything from the fridge, unplugged it and left it open for 10 hours. I dried the bottom, cleaned it and turned it back on. The noise was gone. Two months later the noise is back. I call customer service back and they tell me it's user error, that I am leaving the door open too long or not shutting it correctly. They will send a tech out for $125.

    So I tell the guy it's not user error and he tells me then I need to manually defrost. I tell him I have never heard of such a thing for a fridge in 2021 needing to be defrosted every two months. So ask him, "Are you telling me I have to defrost this thing every two months?" And he says, "That's not what I said". "Yes..That's what you're telling me." If the tech comes out here for $125 and finds it just needs to be manually defrosted then I will be charged for him to do what I'm supposed to do every 2 months!!! So in other words this expensive piece of junk needs to be manually defrosted every two months. Worst purchase I have ever made and worst customer service. Save your money and buy another brand because they do not stand behind their products at all.

The main complaint is the icemaker. The ice balls come out great, it makes 3 a day, however the crushed and cubed work for about a week then nothing for a week then suddenly it's working again.

    We called customer service they referred us to the local technician who apparently hates his job. He would not even come out to look at the problem. He said he would order a new icemaker. At this time the fridge was only 3 weeks old. We had to keep calling him back to check on the new part. Then he never came out with the part until after the 3rd time he said he would come. Then he wouldn't speak to us. After about a month the icemaker quit for a week then started up again and so on. I ordered ice trays on Amazon. No way we will deal with that repairman again. And when he did come out we were really nice and friendly I even told him a few jokes and he totally ignored me. We bought it through Costco.

    Why is zero stars not an option I wonder? Do not trust in an LG refrigerator! I bought all new kitchen appliances five years ago (all LG) and the most expensive was the french door refrigerator. It is supposed to have a "state of the art" linear compressor. Well, please research and you will see many people in the same position as myself. After two years, the refrigerator compressor failed. It was like pulling teeth to have LG get a technician out to my home even though it is under warranty. Low and behold, after numerous calls I was able to get a technician to my home to say I need a new compressor. Parts needed to be ordered - another delay which took about three weeks.

    Finally a technician returned once all parts came in, just to say there is also an internal leak in the fridge and it needs replacement! I have now been without a fridge for about 5 weeks and LG still hasn't helped with a resolution. I have an "alternate resolution case" assigned and that can take about 10 more days for them to determine what action LG will take if anything. Absolutely awful customer service no matter who you get on the phone and they just don't care saying "it's their policy" and they do not take action. Buy any other brand!!!

    The frig was delivered on 5/6 and worked until 5/16. We contacted immediately and on 5/17 they acknowledged (below), however now it is impossible to reach them for any updates. I had to go buy a small fridge for milk and necessities. "Dear Kristin Ayotte, Thank you for submitting your request! Your requests are valuable to us and we will address them as quickly as possible.
