LG? To save everyone some pain, before diving into this deal reach out to your local appliance repair folks to see if they repair Samsungs and LGs. Where I live, at the time there was only two "authorized" in a 3 state area - TWO. This was just a few years ago. Sure, I had some folks who were willing to take stabs at my Samsung fridge, but it would go back to failing (ice kept freezing up the fridge issue).

Even if a Whirlpool/Maytag/Kitchenaid breaks faster, it's going to be EASIER for the repair personnel to get the parts and...repair. Good luck!

(Yes, likely there's a way to get 5+ years of warranty protection via the Costco CC and Allstate plan....BUT it's a fridge - stuff should last a decade, if not longer, like ya grandma's fridge!)
LG refrigerators are beautiful, feature rich refrigerators. When they work, they work well and why LG does well in Consumer Reports. The problems start when there is a failure, major or minor issues cause the same issues. You will run into lousy customer service, spend hours on the phone. Spend weeks online and sending emails trying to get a response. Then often weeks or months to get parts and a qualified, authorized LG technician to come do the repair.

My 22-year-old refrigerator died. I looked at all the brands with a single door, bottom freezer refrigerator. The LG model was my favorite. GE #2, KitchenAid and Whirlpool #3. I read ever review I could find. I called and emailed every customer service support line to ask the same questions. I got thru to talk to a person or got call backs from GE, Whirlpool, KitchenAid within 10 minutes to 45 minutes. Most responsive and helpful KitchenAid. Whirlpool was business like. GE I hung up on because I got a guy who was not helpful. Called back and got someone knowledgeable.

Spent 4 hours one day trying to get thru to LG, 6 hours on day two. The only email response I got from LG was the automatic "we received your inquiry. " Mind you I had a dead frig. I could not wait days or weeks for a response. Also telling, when I announced at work my frig died every person who owned Samsung and LG told me the same thing. Never again. Not one person would buy again.

I ended up with a KitchenAid because it had a better warranty than GE or Whirlpool. All had full coverage in year 1. KitchenAid covers the sealed system, compressor, evaporator etc with parts and labor years 2 thru 5. Years 6-10 it is parts only. Then I put it on my AMEX that gives an extended warranty.

Good luck with your choice. I'd stay away from Samsung and LG until they resolve customer service issues

P.S. My very own sister has an entire suite of LG kitchen appliances. They are now 6-years-old and she has already replaced the dishwasher with Whirlpool. She is my direct experience with LG and tells anyone who will listen Don't Buy LG.
hum.... I'm looking at my consumer report 2021 buyer guide right now. LG is on top of every fridge cataglories.

In the mid range consumer brands Whirlpool refrigerators are usually rated highest for reliability. Check Consumer Reports.

People like to dog on samsung and lg refrigerators. But when i search on home depot and filter by top sellers, it is loaded with lg and samsung refrigerators. If they sell a lot more units than other brands, it makes sense that repair specialists will say samsung and lg are the worst brands needing repairs. And then it gets parroted here on SD.

I have no idea which brands are generally more reliable but i would not go by what repairmen say

I think the issue is, initially the fridges are fine, but 2, 3, 5 years down the line, oddball parts start to break and by that point, LG/Samsung releases slightly changed models, so of course you aren't seeing negative reviews on a retailers website.

Maybe i was not being clear enough. I did not mean reviews on retailer wesbites. I meant people here on sd trashing lg and samsung because of what some repair person said or some other type of anecdote. They need to take into account the amount of units samsung/lg sells because just maybe the failure rate is similar or even better than other brands (or maybe not)

This is where an org like consumer reports can come in and do the research on the number and type of repairs needed per unit sold and if one brand or model is more reliable than another and by how much. But i dont have access to CR

And yes ive seen the disparaging of samsung/lg appliances on SD many times in the past

Whirlpool is a reliable brand but Consumer Reports is not.
