Run from LG.
I paid 5900 in 2022 for their fridge and the inverter compressor died yesterday and none of the smart features or phone app shows any error or issue until now
It’s as hot as an oven in this temperature
Lg don’t have call centre on Sunday
Today call said tomorrow only can come
All food spoilt already
Hundreds gone
Total waste
is your fridge using linear compressor? its known to be problematic

That is correct! Only saw the lawsuit 2 weeks ago 😭😭 sad that even after replace it’ll happen again
Bought a freezer just for emergencies when it does go again. But it’s easy to know when the compressor dies now because it starts with the ice from the ice maker leaking and flooding the kitchen whilst the app insists everything is working fine 😭😭
feel bad for you... but anyway try to get it fixed under warranty first since you spent so much on the fridge. A bit of shame since I always liked LG fridge for their Door in door feature, but the linear compressor puts me off. Now all their latest model no longer use this compressor
if only their fridges are the same standard as their washing machines / TV

According to the 1st link, the problem starts with the material of the tubing
Assuming all fridge models using the same tubing, perhaps linear compressor is more fragile towards fluctuations in pressure?
Anyway, LG Puricare doesn't carry any fridges with linear compressors, updated the product list with the fridges model no.
the design of the compressor itself is problematic as well. its a very efficient design but too bad its not durable and reliable, otherwise its a big win for LG
the fact that all latest LG fridges no longer use this compressor means LG admits there's a flaw with them
