Somtimes its not the compressor, my Samsung Fridge recently died after 4 years (during CNY long weekend) and compressor was not running (thermal cut off activated by its control board). Eventually found out the evaporator cooling fan failed. No error code as well on the fridge.

Its good to check the rear side of the fridge especially the coils and compressor area, my Hitachi fridge died right 1 week after its 5th Birthday, and was deemed beyond repair by Hitachi due to major internal block on the sealed refrigerant line. This was a common issue with Hitachi too circa 2014 to 2016. Basically, it had major internal block, and sealed system line burst open inside the evaporator cooling pan and caused severe damage to the entire fridge. Took Hitachi to Consumer Tribunal and won the case.

Modern fridge require some Tender Loving care on the rear end of the fridge. I usually clean my fridge compressor area every 6 months. My fridge cooling fan died probably due to use of compressed air, as after using WD40 and Singer Machine oil, the fan and the fridge started running again smoothly from CNY to now. I just bought a spare cooling fan in case it seize up anytime soon.

on top of the above, Another thing to consider is that AS65 is using inverter motor vs Brushless DC motor on the AS60

I’m not sure about Cuckoo or Coway actual power usage, however, for my customers who switched from either of this brand to LG, they did see significant improvement in their electric bill.

From my own measurement of LG WD516AN using maximum tariff bracket of RM0.57/kwh for 30 days with a family of 5 adults, the total cost about RM10.50 to RM11.00.

If you are on lower tariff bracket, your monthly running cost is much lower than this. LG claims Up to 50% energy savings and from feedback many have able to achieve this.

Standby power consumption goes down to 3.5W at idle. Max power consumption is when using hot water, as this is using instant boil technology, hence the power draw is 2800W while drawing hot water.

Hope this helps in your decision.

If you want a concealed look you may drill hole for the Inlet and outlet drain hole. Otherwise table top with diverter is possible too.

Concealed look is as per below:
the outlet drain can directly connect to your sink outlet.

The required hole size is 17mm diameter for the tube

There’s a better offer coming up from 15th August

Relocation is FOC once every 12 months

To be fair, the offer is only announced few days prior to official release by LG.

If your filter is not installed yet, you may cancel and re-order at new price but if its already installed there is nothing much you can do. Even my LGWD516AN is at RM60/month and now its RM50/month offer. So it depends and best to sign up while promo is ongoing.

And LG do offer lump sum rebate for lump sum repayment sometimes too, this could help you save money too.

WD512AN is older model without self sterilisation, hence the need for onsite service.
