A $2500 fridge, this isn’t a fake product, but after 3 yrs, I feel it’s time to buy a new fridge, this one is so bad. LG’s fix for the fridge is a new circuit board that causes the crispers to freeze your food. The Sears repair guy said the new circuit board turns off the defrost heaters. Now my ice maker won’t work, because the fridge is clogged with ice and cold air can’t get to the ice maker area or the fridge (which is up to 50 degrees).

Plastic parts break, the door seals are ripped, 3 trips out from the Sears repair guys, and the ice maker still won’t make ice.

LG has not stood behind this product at all, and Sears doesn’t even want to talk about it.
