We have received a check for our increased energy use. The also sent a repair person out to “FIX” our refrigerator and make it more energy efficient. A year after the “FIX” we had another minor issue and had a different repair person out to the house. When we pulled the refrigerator out from the cabinet we found the side out the refrigerator was sweating and was rotting the sheet rock. We discover that the LG “FIX” was to cut the wire to the side heating element put there to prevent sweating. Now we have a damaged wall, bad refrigerator, and little options. If you know anyone who has had there refrigerator “FIXED” by LG, have them make sure theirs is not causing damage to there house. If anyone has any thoughts as too our options, pleases E mail us at jameshastingsperry@yahoo.com Jim & Deb Perry 65 Barber Rd Sterling, CT 06377 My wife and I have purchased one of the refrigerators that was not as energy efficient as stated when we bought it.

Folks are definitely trying to rectify the deception. Thank you to this website for allowing us to share information. I can not believe LG lied to so many people. I also can't believe that the Department of Energy thinks it is acceptable!! I thought the Energy Star program was supposed to protect us.

Sinkoff Thu, 19 Feb 2009 23:53:15 +0000 http://www.appliance.net/?p=923#comment-56800 I too have this Kemore Refrigerator. I call LG on Janary 6, to complain, and get my new circuit board, etc. They said some would contact me by end of January, which has not happened. I spent about 8 hours on the phone trying to get Sears to take back the refrigerator, and put in an Energy Star rated one, since that is what I though I bought. I even sent email to VP of Customer Service and never received a response. Today I have been on the phone with LG and Sears for over six hours, mostly holding and then being hung up on, since no one has contacted me since Jan 6, 2009. After 45 minutes I got someone on the phone, and they tell me that Sears is suppose to put in the new board. I call Sears, and they know nothing about it, plus then after about and hour on the phone they come back and tell me LG is suppose to do it, and provide the same LG number. I call LG back and after I hour they never answer. Now I call Corporate LG, and have gotten two stories thus far, one that LG is putting the board in, and a second that Kenmore is suppose to do it. This is a great Class Action Law Suit. We need to band together and make Sears take these back and put us in a GE or Kenmore that is Energy Star rated. Brian I too have this Kemore Refrigerator.

I have learned that the refrigerator not only has the efficiency problem, but also has been discontinued. I am wondering if Sears would exchange this refrigerator for a new one. I paid approx 2400.00. I would rather get rid of this refrigerator for a better product. I purchased the Kenmore Elite Trio Refrigerator Oct/08.
