LG Electronics review: lg sucks 32

I too have had problems with the LG, model LFX25960ST, french doors refrigerator with lower drawer freezer.

I bought it in June 2007, it started having ice making problems, not working, food loss, leaking from the ice maker, floor damage.

Every month a new repair person would say it was the fan, the mother board, the compressor, the something.

It is now March 2008, and now the refrigerator has stopped working totally. no freezing, no cooling, no nothing. Nice easter dinner for my family ruined.

I do not want a replacement, I want a total refund.

I will never, ever buy LG again. And I will tell everyone that life is not good with LG.

Refrigerators used to last 15-20 years.

LG builds them to last 5 years...so they break down after the warantee. My LG (GR-621R) builds ices like crazy and blocks the freezer door if I don't defrost it with a knife every week.

I also bought a LG DVD, that had a great design, instead of getting a no name brand from Wallmart at 1/2 the price. My LG DVD player died a few days after the warrantee finished. I guess it was designed to last just long enough, just like the refrigerator.

I had 2 very bad LG experiences...and I will NEVER buy LG products anymore.

I must say, I have also lost trust in LG. I bought a really nice looking american style fridge freezer GRL207TUJA which has broken down 18 months of service, it had a 1 year warranty, so I guess it was built to last 12 months? is this really good for the enviroment..

grl207tuja lg american fridge freezer that has also broken down after one year it knocks all my electricty off when it trys to switch on bloody spitting feathers last lg i will buy also if they will not fit it

To be more politically correct, the LG french door fridge LFX25960ST all and customer service suck. I am on my third service call for the ice maker and just had the update for the energy efficency that was falsely advertised costing more than it should. I also had the light melt down as well. At what point is LG going to accept responsibilty for this piece of ### and every one that has been put out by their neglegence. Just three words, CLASS ACTION SUIT.

I bought LG refrigerator in April 2005. It worked well. Only today i.e. 23.6.09 it is not colling stuff. Light is on but no compressor sound. The defrost button when pressed comes out immediately. What could be the problem. Is compressor alright? What could be the reason? Cn any one suggest remedy please.

I purchased the LG refrigerator model # LFX25960st. I had no problem at all until I had the upgrade done and the bottom left drawer contents started freezin and now everything is freezing even with the temperature set at 40 degrees. My electric bill has gone way up the last two months. LG's tech said that my refrigerator needed to be replace because it was unfixable on August 12th. The compressor runs nonstop. The resolution person called on August 18th and said it would be 7-10 days before the freight company could deliver another refrigerator. Today I threw away 3 pounds of apples, 2 pounds of grapes, a watermelon, dozen eggs, and a pound of baby carrots. LG will not refund me for any food or the extra electric for the last two months. They did send me a check for $44 because of the energy rating. If you are not having any problems do not get the upgrade done. I also have a top load LG washer that has had the door replaced once because the bleach runs under the pan onto the door and rust forms. It has rusted again but LG will not replace it because the warranty is up and they say I am putting in to much bleach. I will never buy another LG product because of the bad quality and the customer service is lousy.

My fridge is rusting thru from what I feel was improper preping of the steel before paintingh. I found out there is no one in my service area to look at this. 2 1/2 years ago when I purchased the refrigerator we also purchased a microwave and dishwasher. One week ago we bought lg washer and dryer steam top of the line. The only majoe appliance not lg is our range. Since speaking to Lewis and his manager Carla who basicly said they will do nothing about this since it is out of warranty. I feel that no appliance should rust at 2 1/2 years with no damage causing this. You'll be hearing from me more as I advertise your product. My friends, family and anyone that wants to listen on the net will be a more informed shopper.

I have a kenmore trio refrigeration made by LG. It is a piece of garbage. Everything in the rear of the frig freezes and the fruit and veg drawers and the shelf above them as welll. I have thrown out hundreds of pieces of produce in the last 2 years due to freezing. I have replaced rollers on the cheese keeper because they froze and broke. ITEMS ON THE SHELF BY THE LIGHT SPOIL DUE TO EXCESS HEAT FROM THE LIGHT. MY ELECTRIC BILL HAS SKY ROCKETED. I AM FED UP... I do not want their repair nor there $8.00 A YEAR. I want an energy star refrigerator that was represented to me when I bought this one. I am concerned about energy conservation and read in consumers report that even with their repair the refrigerator would still not quality as energy star. Sears has refused to stand by their product. I have been a loyal customer to Sears and bought many products from them but they have lost me now. If you call sears for repair they either do not come on the day promised or they won't come for weeks. I am tired of wasting money on frozen produce and excessive enegy to operate this misrepresented piece of garbage AS WELL AS STORES THAT WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS..

seriously EVEN I WAS CHEATED BY LG.
I BOUGHT A LG TELEVISION AND WITHIN A WEEK IT STOPPED WORKING...LG HAS GOT NO QUALITY AND ITS JUST CHEATING ITS CUSTOMERS BY ITS BRAND NAME..WE PEOPLE R BEING FOOLED BY THIS COMPANY ND THE WORST PART IS NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT..SOMEONE PLZ SUE THIS COMPANY IN CONSUMER COURT

LG IS GARBAGE, THEY SHOULD JUST STICK WITH ELECRONIC FOR COMPUTER. A COUPLE OF CHINA MAN HAD AN IDEA OF MAKING THEIR TIN HOUSE INTO A FRIDGE AFTER THEY INSTALLED A WINDOW AIR CONDITONER. SO JUST REM YOU ARE BUYIN A TIN BOX WITH PARTS SALVAGE FROM AIR CONDITIONER. DON'T BE FOOL WITH THIER FANCY ELECTRONIC GADGET FOR DISPLAY. MINE SIDE BY SIDE LG NEVER WORKS RIGHT, SOMETIME THE ICECREAM WOULD BE ROCK SOLID, REQUIRED AN PICK AXE. THEN FOUR YEARS LATER IT DIED FOR GOOD. MAKE GREAT TOYS TO TOSS AROUND IF YOU HAVE A BACKHOE.

LG Side by Side French Door Refrigerator is an over-priced, faulty, energy-sucking, fire-hazard of a refrigerator! Don't buy this fridge or even accept a free one at a garage sale...it's that terrible! We bought our LG Model LFX25960ST french door fridge 3 years ago, brand new for $2, 229.00 (before taxes and delivery). Biggest mistake ever! The ice maker has been a problem from the beginning and often just doesn't even make ice. There's a special "ice plus" button that you can use before having a party so that it starts making ice immediately. It's a scam! It has never worked! Now, our lights in the fridge are not coming on yet are heating up so hot that the plastic on my tupperware feels like it's about to melt. If you touch the plastic cover over the light bulbs, it's extremely hot. So much so that I'm afraid it may catch things in there on fire and start a fire in our home. A couple of times the lights have come on, so we know the bulbs are not burned out. They may be coming on when the doors are closed. We purchased a 3 yr. extended warranty with this fridge which just expired 6 days ago (3 years after purchase). While waiting for our own repairman to come out to look at it (he can't come until tomorrow), I went online and discovered that there are endless blogs about people having the same problems and some even having fires started from this piece of junk called an LG Top-of-the-line fridge. I'm amazed that there's still no recall after several years of people dealing with this issue and complaining to LG! I did discover online today that LG has also scammed its customers by advertising this as an Energy Star fridge, which now, come to find out is a LIE! As a matter of fact, this fridge sucks so much energy that LG is now forced to contact customers (we haven't been contacted by them, of course) and let them know about their scam. They're required to send someone out to modify the fridge to lower the energy consumption & to pay customers a one-time payment for past energy usage that was above & beyond energy star ratings. You can go to http://www.lgrefrigeratoroffer.com/program-details.html to get more info and to register. I just did that today after I took the light bulbs out of our fridge, hoping to save our home from fire. Honestly, I'd just like to pull the fridge out of the house and drop it over a cliff. Loss of a whole lot of money but lesson learned! We will NEVER PURCHASE AN LG PRODUCT AGAIN! Save yourself a lot of grief and don't buy LG!

LIFE IS HELL WITH LG

Same problem, different appliance. We bought our steam Dishwasher (LDF7932ST) 14 months ago. 6 months ago we started having problems: main console went out, standing water in the tub, seals weren't working properly...and we were unable to wash dishes for a week. When the LG tech came out he did a few things, but then said he was unable to replicate the problem and suddenly the console worked again! Now we're out of warranty and the console is dead and LG says they can no longer send out the LG tech! Now my only option is to select a local company and have them reimbursed for the parts, if they are willing. From the estimates we're hearing for repairs, it is likely we will just buy a new machine from a different company rather than repair this piece of crap.
NEVER NEVER NEVER AGAIN WILL WE PURCHASE AN LG APPLIANCE! We have an entire kitchen full and are just waiting for the warranties to expire, followed shortly by the appliances themselves...

I bought an LG dishwasher and now after having fixed it 5 times, it's broken again. NEVER AGAIN will I buy an LG product. PERIOD!

I bought a $900 LG dishwasher from HOME DEPOT. THEY highly recommended LG dishwashers. The salesman touted it as the best (he forgot to mention best profit margin). It ran for about 6 months before it broke the first time, we got it fixed. About 7 months later it broke again, this time costing about $150 to fix, then again $400, and again and now its broke again for the 5th time. I have replaced the main board, this part, that part. I am sick of fixing a $900 dishwasher. SO far have spent about $900 fixing it. DONT BUY LG, their support team could care less, you can almost hear them laughing in the background. I will NEVER BUY ANOTHER LG PRODUCT EVER!

I bought a LG LED monitor and it stopped working in no more than 3 weeks. It was sent to LG for service since 2 months ago and I still haven't received it! LG said it was delay of parts. One CS person replied me and said it will be sent to the manager for decision. Then no more feedback. This is totally redonkulous! LG sucks.

Ok. French door frig. I remodeled my kitchen and designed around an upcoming purchase of all LG products- top of the LG line- French door frig- microwave- electric range- dishwasher- washer - and dryer. Dishwasher broke- it was melting the rubber sealing - leaking-- After 6 visits I gave up and threw it in a trash dumpster and bought another brand. Micro-wave stopped working. Replaced the computer board 4 tines and then was told they did not make parts anymore and offered a settlement of $300 on what originally cost $1, 200 and was 2 years old with an extended warranty from Home Depot. I purchased another brand. Now refrigrator stopes cooling. After 4 trips by LG technicians and parts shipped 3 times, I was told they did not make the parts anymore and offered me a settlement of $800 on what cost $3, 800 four years ago. Warranty states 7 years on closed system compressor. No help from LG or the extended warranty with Home Depot. Washer needed 4 seals repaired and took six weeks to get that done. Electric range dining ok, but I am holding my breath. I assuming if one buys ANY appliance from LG paying for the top of their line, you can only use them for 3-4 years and then they cannot be repaired and deemed unusable! No parts! Parts not made to repair the product. I spent around $10, 000.00 for new appliances -LG- and three years later they are unusable and heading to the trash dump. Consumer relations witb LG are poor at the least. We got your money- you got screwed! Also he very aware of Home Depot, their appliances support, and extended warranties! Another screw job. Well, live and learn.

lg refrigerator stop working after 4 years and no mechanic can find parts that sucks thank lg

sidneyphillips - my LG american fridge freezer is also rusting. Not sure where I stand as it is also out of warranty

model # LFC22740ST-french doors with bottom pullout freezer drawer. It has worked ok for 6 3/4 years. The seals on the freezer drawer weren't that great so I got ice buildup frequently ever since I've had it. Now the compressor isn't working. The compressor is still under warranty, which I'm told by the repairman costs $300, so that's good. But here's the kicker... it costs $475 in labor! They say it takes 4 hours to do the work. And of course its taking 6 days before it is fixed. What a hassle. If yours breaks you better hope its early on a Monday morning...maybe you will get lucky and get the part the same week and fixed by Friday. Our repair guy doesnt work weekends so we are stuck waiting two extra days to have a working frig. some stores offer full warranties (Best buy). they cover repair labor and service call fees. if the warranty goes past 5 years, just buy it.

We purchased the LG french door refrigerator and dishwasher less than 6 months ago. Within a couple of months the ice maker quit working and the dishwasher wouldn't open . After a week of randomly pulling the door finally opened and all has been ok with it since. On a side note, the top utensil rack, which they told us was amazing for big spoons and such is the most useless thing ever. The 2 racks fall down constantly, when you put glasses on the top shelf or unload or even pull the rack out, they fall. They were such a pain I now leave them out. Now onto the ice maker, called and they said it'd be a few weeks because of the holidays. They give you a vague 8am to 5pm timeline. Then a man comes in for about 2 minutes and throws a new ice maker in and says to call if it didn't work. We played this game 3 times, each time the idiots just came and put the same ice maker in. The last guy said, hmm must be the wrong one, I'll investigate and get back to you. Never heard from him again. We made another appointment, waited at home from 8am to 5pm. Nobody showed, nobody called. I called lg at 6pm, she told me they no come out today, they order part, they all booked up and come next week. We waited all day and they never called to say they weren't coming! They didn't even apologize ! ! I'm so frustrated, I feel like when they do come out they'll just put in the same stupid ice maker for the 4th time!I honestly feel like I'm in the twilight zone! $2200 spent and no customer support, on what planet is this okay?

About 5 years ago I purchased a refrigerator side/side, a dishwasher and a flat top stove, so far the fridge has had the ECM, Defroster coil, temp probe, the ice dispenser drawer 3 times replaced as well as multiple shelve brackets replaced, the on going problem with this unit is that the ECM failure caused an ice build up in the evaporator coil and bent it until it cracked, I now have to recharge every 4 to 6 months to maintain operating temperatures, this unit is so poorly made and engineered that if cars had this kind of ongoing failures our highways would be parking lots. The LG stove is somewhat better in that I only had to replaced the ECM and the temp probe, though the touch panel is now working intermittently and am just waiting to replace. The one bright spot has been the dishwasher which at this time only needs the door return springs. The following appliance numbers are my on going problems, the fridge LSC27926SB, the stove LRE30451SB/03 and lastly the dishwasher 710KWLR00544 all this being said I have a 40 year old GE Fridge in my garage that is humming along fine without problems.

LG has the worst customer service I have ever seen. When you call with a problem, they give you an incorrect answer. I phoned saying I had an dH code. Was told to unplug fridge and it would be fine. WRONG. It means your fridge has shut itself off. There is a problem with the defrost cycle and the fridge just quits working. It never coded saying it had a problem. LG has taken over three weeks just to tell me they are working on it. My fridge was bout 4 months ago and has spent the last 2 being broken. Worst company ever.

I LOVED my LG fridge until it stopped working. I have only had it for 3 years. It runs but does not cool. Initially told by the service repairman it was the mother board. Had to wait a week for one to be shipped from Korea. After the motherboard was replaced, we waited the amount of time we were told, but nothing happened and it was not fixed. Repairman came back and told us it was the sealed system and it could cost us up to $1700 dollars to fix. Umm . . . I don't think so. So now we have a 3 year old broken $3000 refrigerator and are scrambling to find a replacement. I will make sure to tell everyone I know to stay the hell away from LG.

We bought a new washer and dryer in June from best buy. In September it leaked water through my kitchen ceiling, we later found out the drain hose had been cut. We called best buy immediately, they transferred us to LG customer service who scheduled an LG certified technician to come out and fix it. He came, broke our washing machine tray, and claimed he replaced the hose properly. He said there was a piece of metal cutting the hose, he cut his own hand on this piece of metal. We had someone come out and give us an estimate of damage to our house ($2, 4000). We told best buy immediately, I spent months trying to follow up to get any progress from them, nothing. Finally I found out they sent our case off to Frigidaire thinking it was an intake hose defect. I corrected them and told them it was the drain hose and something was cutting it. They have yet to pay for our repairs. Three weeks ago the hose leaked through my kitchen ceiling again. We called best buy who transferred us to LG who sent out ANOTHER technician. This one replaced the hose and tried to say that the hose was cut because the last technician didn't use a plastic holder device to keep the hose in place and it was all his fault. The drain hose in question comes pre-installed on washing machines by LG. I told all of this to both best buy and LG. Best buy says they denied our claim because there is no fault of there personnel and we have to take it up with LG. LG says they won't pay it because it's been too long since the original damage. Neither company will give me a local address to take them to small claims court. I need my house fixed ASAP because there is water and mold damage and I'm giving birth in a couple months.
I am trying to figure out a way to either flat out sue them or bring them to small claims court.

I just purchased an Lg TV from a local Wholesale Company who (as far as I know) has a great rep. I made the mistake of doing this before remembering how horrible LG is to deal with! The first thing on the instructions is to register your product. Their website will not allow it.Horrible Hateful people!

My friend bought a beautiful gun metal grey French door bottom freezer 13 months ago. It died compressor trouble, Repair guy came replaced the compressor. It died a leaky messy death. They sent another repair man who was unable to fix it due to first mans bad job. Now the first man is coming back next week to try again. This poor guy is diabetic and needs his refer for his insulin. He is too nice I would be screaming.
