For the first 18 months, the refrigerator worked just fine. Now for the last two weeks, it has not functioned at all. It needed a compressor and both evaporators. This is very concerning that the major components of this refrigerator literally died. We have been using two ice chests to maintain our meats at a cool level. Buying bags of ice every two days.  We replaced the 15-year-old General Electric Refridgerator for the LG because it was highly recommended by the consumer report magazine. Clearly our miistake.
