Product review (1 stars): This fridge will put me into an early grave.
We enjoyed our LG fridge for about six months. Then, the never-ending battle began.

First, we heard a knocking sound. After answering the door to no one for the tenth time, we realized it was the fridge. I Googled. I read the manual. I scratched my head. Unplug it, everything more-or-less told me. Great; restart it. Hold down CTRL+ALT+DELETE at the same time. Got it.

I left it unplugged for the recommended four hours. Then I powered it back up and the knocking immediately commenced. A few days later, we got the IF error code.

Error code? A refrigerator has an error code? Seriously. This was too complicated already. Once again, I turned to Google, the manual, and my scalp.  I called the store. After all, they had strongarmed us into a warranty I didn't want, and Im so glad they did.

So the repairman came out. He told me that these fridges were notorious for breaking down. Then he proceeded to show me how to repair it myself because, This isn't the first time and it won't be the last.

We took the entire freezer apart to get to the ice blower fan, essentially. It gets frozen solid. Every three months like clockwork.

Was it manageable? Yeah. First world problems and all that. But then other stuff started going down:

-The large mechanism that slides into some other cheap, plastic part did something stupid, so the door wouldnt always close. So guests would shut our fridge but not shut our fridge, which resulted in 
-A ripped rubber door seal.
-No matter what temp the fridge was set at, food sitting directly on the glass shelves or in two of the three produce drawers would freeze. And were not talking about some delightful icy crunch. Entire pieces of fruit, meat, even cheese would freeze solid. Did you know cheese could turn into ice? It can. We cannot store food in half of our fridge. (However, I lined all of the shelves in newspaper, which seems to have helped. Plus, I can now read about the local elections from a year ago every morning while I get the orange juice.)
-The freezer fan clogs with ice so often, I have to mention it 
- twice.
-The water dispensing button is starting to stick.
-The ice dispenser clogs on a daily basis. We keep a knife honer nearby to stab into the bin. I repeat, this happens daily.
-It gets fingerprinted to he77. I know this is a hazard of being an appliance in a home where the occupants have hands. But I hate this thing and now Im just searching for more to add to the list.
-The water valve that connects the water line to the fridge wore out. So now we don't even get water or ice until I replace it.
-And now the ice maker is broken. That's a $120 part.

We have a second fridge in our house. We got it for free from an apartment complex that was throwing them away. We keep it in the garage as a beer fridge. Dudes, this fridge (I don't even know the brand) is probably 20 years old (at least), is ugly as sin, and is chugging away like we do on  beer.

Meanwhile, my $2,500 LG heartache mocks me with a frozen water melon, incessant ticking, and dripping water.
