Anyone considering an LG fridge should read this carefully.

https://www.lgfridgesettlement.com/

tl;dr their compressor design is poor, resulting in limited lifespan of 2-5 years (if lucky).

If you still want to buy an LG, be prepared to replace it within a few years.

Your comment cannot be blank.

Irrelevant to this deal - I got one of those 4-door fridges (french doors top and bottom) a couple of years ago and I can't go back.

I'm terribly unorganized and these bottom freezer drawers end up hiding a bunch of frozen foods that I forget about because it's hard to access them.

If anyone else has this problem, I highly recommend trying out the 4-door fridges (mine is Samsung).
Samsung can be had cheaper. Nobody really wants Samsung

Quote from slkmaster2000 :
I disagree. It doesn't have the second flex drawer, should be less. Like 1700-1800. been tracking this class of French door fridges for a while. from both Samsung and LG.
last August, I got Samsung RF28R7201SR for 1900 plus tax
Keep in mind it does have two drawers inside. It is just that there is only one external door, so you must open both. But inside there are two levels and they slide independently. I have this fridge and love it.

Did a lot of research when buying fridges and all I read was dont buy Samsung. there was an ask reddit for appliance repair salesman and they said the same about poor samsung reliability and high repair costs. Good TVs but horrible fridges.

We have had ours for a while now. 6 months +

Ice still tastes like crap (not sure why) Have tried all tips etc online.

Otherwise, it is a decent refrigerator, nice looking, spacious, and mostly quiet.

Bought this from similar deal last year. Cooling wasn't as strong as my much older GE, had some LG techs over who concluded it's just normal (super annoying scheduling process). If you keep door open for a few seconds Temps drop rapidly. It's a great refrigerator otherwise. Lots of interior space. The slim ice dispenser can be annoying at times, anything that falls drops to the floor. But workable. I would buy at this price point.

That's the new business model. The smart panel breaks, then change the entire refrigerator. In the old days, just swap the damage/broken part and that's it.

Lol, the main thing is it running Windows 11?
Never mind its compressor is likely junk.

Side note: "Energy Star" is the biggest scam ever perpetuated on consumers anywhere. As in, how much energy is wasted manufacturing a new replacement refrigerator every 6 years?

The look on freight delivery faces when I told them to take this fridge back on the truck after they claim my water valve was leaking (it wasn't); then they didn't even wanna move old unit into garage. This unit will probably outlive the new one. Costco was terribly slow with refund. 💀

Better call Costco first. First order I placed a month ago for a fridge and washer and dryer they had to cancel, fridge wasn't in stock on their live inventory screen.

Was planning on ordering this today, called, waited on hold another 35 minutes, also not in stock.

On BOTH occasions, fridge showed in stock and I was able to order on their web site. HORRIBLE SERVICE. Ended up ordering everything from Home Depot.

I have a GE french door since 2015. I have been replacing the evaporator fan every 1-2 yrs and motherboard twice since purchased. Not sure if its worth switching to LG. I am tired with the common problem for GE with drain hose clogged where maintenance needed to clean every6 month - 1 yr. Seems like i have learned all the common problems but almost want to replace it as well. I am worry if i change to a different fridge, i will more than likely inherent the flaws that come with the new fridge nowadays.. sigh

Quote from juggar :
Bestbuys near me are packed with returned/open box fridges. Usually damaged during delivery or shipment, I got a $2400 Samsung French door fridge for $1250 plus an additional 10% off for buying totaltech with it, all because it had a 1 cm wide dent some karen complained about that you cant even see unless the light hits it just right. My family had trouble finding the dent lol

Suggest anyone looking for a new fridge go look at open box stuff rather than pay full price. Plus you dont have to worry as much about your new fridge getting damaged by your kids or whatever as that cherry has already been popped.

I wasn't gonna buy Samsung but the price was right and the thousands of review were overwhelmingly good, plus ive got bestbuy warranty for 2 years from totaltech so screw it, if anything breaks theyll come fix it.
You have to be lucky though. We got a Bosch 800 series (dual compressor) for $2k plus $250 shipping from a well repped vendor on Ebay last month. There was a small scratch on one of the inside bins. It still had all the foam and plastic wrap. Never installed. Came in a big wooden box on a pallet. Free 2x4s and wood panels! Well, okay it's part of the shipping costs for the wood. They only dropped it to the first step so we had to haul it in ourselves. Replacing a 2017 LG counter depth instaview from Costco that works half the time. I think it's the compressor issue. I could never get the wifi smart diagnostics to work but the audible one said everything was fine. The Bosch gets way cooler, way faster, and is twice as quiet as the LG. On another note, our 11month old Insignia mini-fridge died a day after we installed the Bosh!

Great info, thanks, we lose stuff in our freezer too so this resonates. What do you think about lower French doors vs double drawer freezers?
