Product review (1 stars): LG doesn't maintain parts inventories for long so your appliance soon becomes unrepairable.
We purchased a top-of-the-line major appliance from LG a few years ago. When the appliance needed a repair, we discovered that the two parts needed were no longer available because of LG's policy of maintaining parts inventories on their major appliances for only a few years. The short-term policy on parts inventories was described to me by an LG supervisor at their 800 number.

So, our major appliance is junk, and we now need to purchase a completely new one.  Not to mention the cost and inconvenience of removing the old appliances and installing the new ones.

There is also the vast environmental waste of making several hundred pounds of costly metal and electronics into garbage that goes into a landfill.

Not maintaining an inventory of repair parts is a sure way to make your customers feel very taken advantage of and very angry. We certainly will never buy another LG product of any type.

LG "apologized" for their policy of not maintaining an inventory of parts, but offered no other help or compensation.

In any case, LG refrigerators are usually not top-rated by the leading consumer testing organization.
