Even if this fridge doesn't have the poorly designed compressor
Why the heck would you ever consider giving this company your money if given a choice?
Do people have amnesia of how LG handled that debacle? And then icing on cake was all of their sneaky ways they slipped in forced arbitration on their customers?
For those in here mocking other posters concerned about this fridge... they have every right to be concerned and of no fault of their own. LG imploded the trust in the brand. Why the heck would you take LG's side and call people morons for asking questions?
I bought this a month ago. Here were my question points and some findings:
- LG Compressor issues. You can verify yourself on the spec sheet this no longer has the problematic "new" style compressor that LG had issues with. It's back to a more traditional style.
- Lack of ice in door. For us this hasn't been a big problem since water is already chilled. It's not worth the issues that the refrigerator/ice combo come with.
- This thing is cavernous. Both because there's no wasted space to an ice maker in the refrigerator, but also it being the largest you can buy, our cramped fridge became kind of empty looking when we swapped to this.
- Water in the door hinge area. I was worried about energy loss but after doing some math on the energy loss standing with the door open getting water it's, at maximum, a few dollars per year. The majority of the energy is stored in the temperature of the items inside and not the air itself.
- Costco Delivery. Was genuinely A+. No nicks, no issues except they were 15 min outside their delivery window.
Edit-
- A bonus I found out later is this actually does have WiFi capability. It lets you customize chimes, set and view temperature, enable Ice Plus, Economic Care and Smart Air (supposedly this analyzes your usage and does some pre-cooling type stuff to optimize energy savings), Sabbath Mode, Energy Saver, Light customization.
No it is not, idk why you are so obsessed with this. It uses part # BMH130NCMV, a standard reciprocating compressor. NOT the linear ones that caused all the recent problems. Older LG fridges with their reciprocating compressors before the switch to linear were as reliable as all the other GE's and Whirlpools.
Many people swear by Bosch.
For a "premium" line, I prefer KitchenAid more due to serviceability and widely available inexpensive parts
With regards to racks, stick with dishwashers with nylon coated racks.
One would think if you are going to make a part that will rust you wouldn't put it inside the part where the water is, unless you want a "subscription" type. Then you would make an easy to replace part rust. In my 20 years of owning dishwashers this is the only time I had to replace a part, and now I "get to" replace the racks for about $400 every 2 years, just ridiculous. I looked for non-OEM but there were none.
As for looking for a dishwasher that has nylon, none of the sales people could tell me what racks were more likely to rust and what ones wouldn't and I am having a hard time finding the information about nylon. FYI there is a coating on the racks but the rust is under the coating then breaks out. Someone once said I was too ruff on the dishwasher, it's only been used by adults and rusts not only on the tines but the support grid on the top rack.
I mention this because when the LG Rep said my only option was to buy a new rack, I told her I could buy a good brand and let people know on social media my experience and hopefully join a class action lawsuit.

Agree with the LG detractors here. My own recent experience (2 weeks ago) with getting a 6 year old LG (rebranded as Kenmore Elite) repaired would have me avoiding any LG products in the future. The first company I called asked for the model number and said it was an LG and they wouldn't even work on them because "they are junk and not repairable".. The next company came out and the first attempt at a repair didn't fix it. On the next visit the tech thought it was a circuit board and replacing it would be $900. That wasn't going to happen. There can always be just bad luck involved and you can get a lemon from any brand but sometimes there really is a a history of excessive problems.
Can anyone with this fridge confirm that exact width??? I have exactly 35.6 width on my cavity... and I really want this unit, but it's listed at 35.75" wide. Let me know, thanks!

Even if this refrigerator isn't using that compressor, I would still boycott LG app in solidarity for screwing over all those customers. Imagine if you were in that unlucky crowd. Manufacturers needs to treat their customer better. Bridge is burned, LG
Second. I have 2 side by side LG fridges and both failed the compressors. Also their support is the worst customer service I ever experienced. Never buy any LG products again
That's not a reason to support LG. If they really gave a shit, they would put a 5 year warranty on the entire fridge with a replacement guarantee if parts or repair is not available for more than two weeks.
I do not endorse LG. My fridge broke at 4 years and 355 days. Fortunately that was 10 days before the compressor warranty expired.
LG official repair replaced it with one that sounds like a diesel engine. It prob was a refurbished compressor.

Did you also buy it from Costco? I had the same exact issue. The compressor broke just 10 days before 2 year warranty.

Straight trash
Just Google: LG CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS
"Install this appliance in an area where thetemperature is between 55 °F (13 °C) and 110 °F(43 °C)"
It does not state garage ready, but if your garage is within this range it would probably be okay.

But they won't.
So I'll not support this company.
