In reply to the discussion: Fridge failures: LG says angry owners can't sue, company points to cardboard box [View all]Nasruddin
(756 posts)My LG refrigerator has had a few problems (compressor went out was a big one).
The main one with this and its predecessor is the plastic: it's really poor quality, it disintegrates, & while I've been successful at replacing some of it, other parts, no or the parts are unavailable, or the repair itself is too fantastically difficult.
I'm missing a door shelf because of one of these problems. It currently has a bunch of semi-broken plastic parts that
are somewhat functional but I'm not going to deal with until they break completely.
(LG is not the only company that has pushed out products with junky plastic parts)
Eventually, some plastic doodad is going to break that I can't fix or replace, & whose function is critical (like the door) -then it's off to the landfill.
I was astounded to find out that a household member had purchased an LG washer for us.
So far, it works ok - it actually seems to clean better than what it replaced. But:
a - it can't do a basic washing process, which all washers have been able to do since the beginning of washing in the paleolithic, which is soak and hold clothes
b - it has a bunch of "programs" for different kinds of washing, but no user access to whatever it is that sequences the steps
Who do they think they are, IBM ca 1960?
