We were very happy with this appliance until the compressor prematurely failed on it.  We were surprised since the unit was less than four years old.  Previous fridges I have owned last for at least 10 years without problems.  One major design deficiency the fridge has is that it does not warn you that the compressor has failed.  It still sounds like it is working.  It was only when we found the melted ice cram in the freezer that we know something was wrong.  Since LG are none to have compressor that fail often, it should have an alarm that goes off when the temp drops too much.  The good news for us is that LG paid to have the defective compressor replaced.  It only took 24 hours for them to get a service person here—that par to it was positive. We are now looking at getting a replacement, since we have lost confidence in our LG refrigerator.
