How's LG compared to Samsung fridge? Wonder if the ice maker last longer than other brands.

I just bought this refrigerator. I was concerned about the LG compressor issue. However, after researching, every brand has some issue. It's just an issue with modern appliances.

LG fridges specifically have a problem with their linear compressors which are new tech that they never could make reliable. This fridge appears to have a standard inverter compressor after a bit of investigation which may improve reliability. I have read many reviews where people cannot get technicians to repair LG fridges though. I just bought this one myself.

We had a Samsung fridge that went out after 18 months. We were without a fridge for six months because of their warranty service. They never fixed it, and I finally just went and bought a new fridge.

Thanks for the info. I was able to find this fridge uses what they called Smart Inverter instead of the Linear Compressor and the comparison is below. Tempted to buy this to replace my 12 yr old fridge.

Smart Inverter -- LG uses this t ..

We have this unit. Bought it last June at $1699..... Shakes fist at Costco. :-)

Thus far, it has been fine. Cools properly, slim dispense for water only is great, ice where it belongs, in the freezer (so hopefully no ice maker issues like the LG and Samsung with ice in door).

It seems if you have Costco Citi, if you purchase before Jan 22nd, you can get the additional 2 years of coverage as well.

My LG refrigerator I bought at Costco 2.5 years ago just died... "Linear Compressor". Nobody wants to repair it. They don't even to agree to replace it. It's going to go to the dump. Man, what a waste....

just curious, why is nobody wants to repair a linear compressor? is it because its new tech, or some like that?

Have not been given an explanation other than this is an almost new 'sealed' system. Contacted every appliance center around here, as soon as they heard this was an LG refrigerator, it was like 'oh, we don't do that".

I had an older linear compressor fridge. It went out exactly 10 years and 3 months after it was purchased...out of the warranty period. I bought the 2 freezer drawer version of this for $2000 in oct and so far so good.

Costo uses sears for repairs. I purchased a fridge and it stopped working just after the 90 days return period. I've been waiting for a part for over 4 months and it's been 6 since it stopped working. Never purchasing from Costco again.
