I Bought LG’s Largest Fridge and It Keeps Breaking Down Within Months

We bought an LG refrigerator—one of the largest models available—in 2023 based on a recommendation, thinking we were investing in a reliable brand. But right from the start, we ran into issues. A warning icon appeared, and that was just the beginning of a long string of problems.

The service team came out, blamed the issue on the relay, then the motor, and made us wait nearly a month for parts. The motor was eventually replaced, but here we are again, just three months later, with yet another breakdown. And the technician’s dismissive attitude—saying “It’s probably the relay again, we’ll come when the part arrives” without even checking the unit—shows how little urgency LG puts into resolving customer problems. We’ve had to throw away all our food twice, and we’re tired of the repeated failures. This kind of experience doesn’t reflect the reputation LG claims to uphold.

The motor of my LG side-by-side refrigerator has broken down twice within 3.5 years. The first time, it failed only three months after purchase, so they replaced the unit. However, the motor of the new refrigerator also failed last week, after just 3 years and 3 months. I knew from the large sticker...

Long Wait Times and Unreliable Service for LG Dryers

It has been an adventure ever since we bought an LG dryer. It works OK sometimes, but won't start at all other times. The problem remained until June 13, 2023, when we decided to file a service request about it. But it's been two months since we last heard from you. After calling the service center ...

I bought my LG refrigerator just 4 years ago, specifically because it came with a 10-year motor warranty. I trusted LG to stand behind their product, and that warranty gave me confidence in the purchase. But now, the motor has already failed—and to make matters worse, the authorized service center i...
