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 GPz1100 :
Not at the moment. Given the fact it took a class action to get LG to extend the warranty (parts & labor), it does not reflect well on the company. They should stick to tv's and electronics.

Got a kitchenaid and frigidaire in the basement (one's a freezer, other fridge. Can't recall which is which). What I do know is they're both from the early 2000's. One from 2001, other 2006. Still working fine today. They use traditional compressors.

This whole experience with the fridge literally dying in a span of 2-3 days really left bad taste about the company. Fridge was barely 5 years old. Cost around $1800. I feel for those that paid $3K+ for this LG garbage.
So, is their a fridge you would recommend that doesn't involve looking for a time machine on sale ?

LG is trash. My refrigerator compressor died little over 5 years and LG would not cover labor. After having tech for almost 4 times now, the refrigerator still cannot maintain a constant 36 degrees . Goes up and down from 36 degrees to 52 degrees. Despite showing video proof LG refuses to fix.

Search for the famous LG compressor issue. Majority of the techs would not want to touch LG refrigerator. Sorry will never ever recommend LG appliance in my life

99% of the time deals on fridge are for those who are putting up with old fridges which are still functional, not when fridges broke unless you are extremely lucky.

Having said that, don't feel bad if you already bought a fridge for a higher price because you need one at the time. People who bought this deal got another functional fridge in use mostly since the chance of your fridge broke and deals like this pop on the same day are very rare.

How much was this during memorial day? Will there be July 4th sales later?
If you play this "next holiday" game you'll never get your fridge.

I have one of these. It's great. People keep mentioning tablets and smart features, this isn't a tablet but a window that's tinted until you knock on it to look inside. I never really use the knock feature, but we do like this fridge. Ice works great, the only smart feature it has is a wifi connection via the app to help with troubleshooting and finding filters, etc.

If an echo scans your wifi and sees it, they'll send you the Amazon link for the filter when it runs out.

FYI I price matched this deal with Home Depot the last time it was active during a Memorial Day sale. The Home Depot associates could hardly believe the price, but matched it anyway. Great fridge. Would recommend

Don't worry Samsung and LG's business model depends on their $2000-3000 fridges and appliances dying after 1-2 years and you coming back to buy more. It's called the subscription model just like Microsoft Office 365.

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.
I'm with you on looking at the scratch n dent section first. We hit all the big box stores to small shops before settling on new appliances last year. It was a surprise to us that the scratch n dent shops/section cost just as much as the new appliances.

To a point, I don't blame the Karen who complained about a small dent and returned it. Unfortunately, the big box store policy is that the consumer should inspect items before accepting delivery. If there is damage, then the consumer can refuse delivery and request refund or wait for a new appliance for re-delivery. Big box stores do not offer a partial refund on damage items.

TLDR: If I paid full price on an item then I would expect there shouldn't be any blemishes or dents. You should not have to compromise your self dignity to appease the internet.

I purchased this refrigerator for same price a few months ago. I love it! It is very spacious and fits so much inside of it. There are two ice makers which is great! Also it's Costco so comes with extended warranty!
If you don't really need ice maker, does the internal ice maker take up internal space? Or can you like move a ice bin out and recover the volume for grocery?

Quote from GPz1100 :
Have an LG from 2017. Compressor recently went bust. Waiting on tech to arrive this week to fix. No more LG appliances.

According to comments on reddit, their newer models still use a similar linear compressor which suggests its lifespan may be limited. Even if they offer 10 years on parts, labor is quite involved to replace a compressor.

If the tech is A&E, LG's provider of choice, best of luck.

Bottom freezer is annoying IMO but some will like it.
