The more useful statistic is percentage of breakdowns. Anyone knows a source of percentages of refrigerators going bad? I remember reading an article that LG and Samsung refrigerator reliability is actually quite high with the percentages of them going bad is quite low.

I had actually read the reviews of similar stories but saw that LG was still highly rated and recommended by consumer reports so gave it a shot. But the number of bad experiences with appliances is crazy these days. I also got a Samsung washer and dryer at the same time as this fridge even though there were Samsung washers that were exploding back then....lol. I think even old school appliance companies like Whirlpool and GE reliability has gone down since they're all having to keep up with each other to make the prettiest, cheapest stuff. Not even sure what I will get when this fridge does go out again (which seems like a certainty). Sucks that a $2k+ fridges are not even lasting 10 years.
One surprising thing is that although I told LG that I don't approve of the $250 compensation if that means they will not cover the rest of the repair, they still went ahead and sent out the check. My first reaction to that was that I guess that can be considered compensation for the food we had to throw out. Hopefully I'll come out a little better than the $850 paid for the repairs since I'm preparing to have to toss thing thing out next time it goes out. I'm contemplating getting a home shield warranty as well since we're coming upto 4 years in our new home and the warranties for all the appliances I bought at costco will be ending.
. Within 3 years it needed a condenser replacement.
. 2.3 years later, it failed again. $125 pre-paid for dispatch a tech + $250 for labor. Appointment took 10 days. New condenser + new compressor replaced.
. A week later, the fridge started making noise, and stopped working again. Took another 10 days for the tech. New condenser + new compressor + new evaporator + new controller replaced.
. Lost all food 3 times. No compensation for food lost.
. We had to buy a Samsung fridge for spare.
For us, no more LG fridge, ever again.

Never will I ever buy another LG product of any sort.
