Product review (1 stars): diagnosis bad motor but said they don't do LG warranty work ...
Purchased this in Dec. 2012, June 2015 very loud noise started emerging while running.  Called local repair, diagnosis bad motor but said they don't do LG warranty work (out $85).  Called LG, got some "authorized" repair companies, came out, same diagnosis (out another $85) with a proposal to fix it at $428!!  It's $140 for the part.....  Called "customer service" back and they offered additional service companies - at the $85 service call rate, I can buy a new one soon.  Initiated a warranty claim, sent a copy of the receipt, which I had to go to the purchaser for and now LG claims they cannot read the PDF.  So fed up with this piece of junk and LG.  Buyer beware, wish I would have seen all these reviews for this specific model before I bought.  Repair people told me LG and Samsung are made in Korea, poor quality.  I also - have an LG side by side fridge, ice maker went within 12 months, repaired it myself.  Very disappointed!
