LG 22 cu. ft. Smart WI-FI Enabled InstaView Door-in-Door Counter-Depth Refrigerator - Stainless Steel

No good

I like the fact that I got my fridge in a timely manner and so far so good , I love it.

LG designs great refrigerators. They're functional, efficient and attractive. Unfortunately, LG uses linear compressors. The LG Linear compressor has a poor life expectancy when compared to different types of reciprocating compressors like the ones typically found in AC units, or the digital inverter compressors used by Samsung and others.Linear compressors are cheaper and there are a few other advantages for refrigerators: however, none of that makes up for the failure rate of the design used by LG.The failure rate is so high, LG has settled two class action lawsuits in the last few years regarding the compressor, yet LG refuses to change the design, switch to a more reliable compressor type, or even admit the problem.All appliances produced now days have reliability issues. Part of the problem is US and European governments forcing companies to make more and more efficient appliances. The more efficient compressors and refrigeration equipment become, the less reliable they are.For example, AC units that have a very high seer rating (high energy efficiency) fail more often and cost more to repair than low seer units. Any savings on energy is over shadowed by repair costs over the life of the equipment. The government doesn't care how much we spend replacing and repairing appliances because they want to show everyone how much they're doing to help the environment. It's a bogus objective that comes as a very high cost to consumers. And there is more of it coming--water heaters (barely work now), washing machines and more refrigerator crap.Of course, LG has more reliable options so who knows what their internal costs are and the internal politics. You can bet that LG has looked closely at the economics of replacing the sealed cooling system with a more reliable one versus paying the claims, etc. They do what's in their best interest not yours.I've personally had two $3000 LG fridges fail within 5 years. Both still had a compressor warranty, but it was going to take several weeks to months to get all the parts and do the repair, so I don't bother repairing them, I just buy new ones. In my experience, repairing sealed systems using linear compressors is usually a very short lived solution (as in likely to fail again within 2 yrs). But others may disagree.I won't buy any more LG refrigerators until they change the cooling system despite how much we like all the other LG features.As an aside: in my opinion Samsung closed systems are better than LG's, but they've got ice maker problems that they can't or won't fix. They've had to settle claims also. The Samsung design is not nearly as functional as the LG, but it may last longer.

Purchased in June 2012 after two months compressor broke. We are now in January 2025 and the compressor is shot again. They are under warranty but to have it replaced it cost $1,200.00. Will now buy a new refraig. ( Not LG). The money is a factor but the inconvenience and loss of food has been the biggest nightmare.

Love my LG refrigerator. Bought ours in 2016 and have had very little problems with it. We have a counter depth but wish we had room for a larger size.

Similar to many customers that purchased LG and Samsung refrigerators (Korean made), the compressor in mine died in two years. The technician that came to repair it and was referred by LG factory service told me that he has seen these LG and Samsung fridge compressors regularly fail outside of the 1 year warranty, die within 2 to 3 years. After replacing the compressor, they will fail again in 3 years because the parts are low quality. Technician also said the other brands like GE and Whirlpool are more reliable than LG and Samsung and often have less problems and he gets less sevice calls for them. My Samsung washer also had spin speed electrical problems outside of 1 year warranty and within 2 years, usage frequency of just once a week. LG and Samsung have some room for improvement in quality and reliability of large appliances.

Don't buy LG frigs, the linear tech breaks on the compressor, calling customer service is a joke, they don't honor the warranty. Look at class action lawsuits. Mine broke in less than 2 years, for a $3000, refrigerator.Don't buy it, the Linear technology doesn't work. Just google this LG product and you will see all the problems. Wish I kept my old kenmore, at least it works.This thing is useless, costs to much to repeatedly fix. This thing will cost you 1000's every couple of years to re fix and all the rotten food, smells bad

We bought this LG in April 2021. The LG stopped working in Oct 2021. Lost all frozen goods. It will run but stop cooling without notice. We have had to buy another refrigerator a GE we so far like. We have not received any compensation for the LG , we are out $3,400 plus tax it’s sitting downstairs as pictured. Don’t buy.
