No. LG has had serious quality issues with it's refrigerators since they incorporated their linear compressors...that's not a debatable issue, it is a fact. LG has settled class action litigation as a result.Exactly. Nor you providing anything more than you opinion or the opinion of others and if you want to believe them fine. But you making statements about staying away from LG and Samsung is based on nothing but the experience of one failed unit from the OP who doesnt own the product and others making claim about those units while leaving out the failed stories of the competition.
Nor do you post how the compressor issues were solved. A simple internet search will provide this information, as well as all the free service prided by LG and extended warranty.
Buy whatever one wants, my comment was about sloppy construction in a side by side Whirlpool, if you want incredible fit and finish go with LG.
If you want to live in the past about possible compressor problems that have been solved and recalled dont buy LG take a chance on another brand like Samsung. If look and feel isnt important to you, buy anything on the market.
1. So you say the refridgerator you have is still in production yet in a previous post you make no statement other than this = " My appliances from 9-14 years old have been very durable and reliable"
2. I gave my honest assessment of our new appliances but you keep attacking my position of LG or Samsung vs Whirlpool based on a past compressor recall. Anyway, your claim I a not providing anything more than my opinion but are attacking it based on your opinion. such as "When it comes to appliances, my advice is stay away from LG and Samsung as most of the people I know that have them have More frequent problems. These two companies do not rely on this industry to stay in business."
3. We do not know the posters full story as it is not his refrigerator. More information is needed. Past compressor recall on LG has been taken care of. Even you do not question the OP one what failed after a year to make a new refrigerator unusable knowing full well LG compressors are warrantied for 5 years. So how was a 54 week old unit needing replacement?
I too do not care to comment any further, if my posts help anyone is all I care about, they can pick and chose which ones, like any forum.
Warranty means zero if parts availability is non-existent.

"Look and feel" of perceived quality are not logical, realistic criteria for ascertaining product reliability.
LG might be acceptable for laundry appliances but history and facts should send most reasonable folks running, not walking away from their refrigerators.
