I purchased an LG refrigerator in October  of 2008, It was delivered in January of 2009. The icemaker freezes solid i  a few days and it cannot deliver icecubes from it's dispencer. It takes dynamite or a blowtorch to loosen the ice cubes.

I have gotten nowhere with repairs or replacement. Repairmen have been out several times, with negative results. I would be  happy to join in a Class Action suit  against LG and Home Depot. Got any answere

I had a problem with ice freezing solid so I changed the water filter as it was way past it's useful date. The ice cube maker started working great.

Oct 2009.. another sevice call , both the freezer and the fridge are not keeping temp that they are set to..   fridge today set to 38... inside top level is 44.. bottle level is 40.. and the freezer is set to 2 and its staying around 10-15...   Service call from home depot extended warranty.. he said the fan was not turing correctly.. so he fixed something and said keep an eye on it..

Contact LG at customerservice@lge.com.  Let them know of the leaking..ice maker failure...or side frosting or freezing up.  E-mail them a copy of your receipt from the time of purchase.  Tell them you are aware of the engineering snafu with the energy recall fix.  You may be required to pay a service technician to inspect your unit.


I have a new refrigerotor on the way to replace the one I bought in 2007.  I am currently seeking a way to be reimbursed for the $69.95 service call to tell me that the problem was an LG engineering screw-up.  LG will tell you that they do not reimburse and that the unit was not under warranty.  However, this problem is not a warranty issue but rather an engineering issue connected to the energy consumption fix.


I'll be interested in hearing from folks who have the same issue, particularly the non-reimbursement issue.  I believe another class action is in order.Smile

The ice maker has been replaced once and then the ice maker fan went out now it's the ice maker again leaks water and freezers inside  the door of the ice maker you cannot get ice out though the front. I will never buy another LG Of any kind!!!

Experienced our first problem with the freezer on Feb.17,2009. Transglobal tech determined the fridge was irrepairable and took photos of our invoice, warranty and the interior workings of the fridge/freezer. At this juncture it would appear to be a straight forward warranty issue that could be resolved in a few days via e-mail or fax communication from service [transglobal] to manufacturer [LG]. Apparently not, as it is currently March 2,2009 and nobody including the vender [The Brick} will give us any satisfaction. I won't bore you with the details of the correspondence going back and forth over the past two weeks but frustration has lead to the possibility of some form of legal action and I would be interested to hear from anybody with similar issues.

Is it possible these companies are so short sighted that they issue warranties with no intention of honouring them? Do they have a clue that if I talk to 20 potential customers and talk 10 out of buying their product they lose more than a fridge? Anyway, my advice to anybody contemplating an LG purchase is to look for any alternative -- these are not consumer friendly people. Life is not Good--its a lie.
