That was sorta my main point. Samsung "leading" in that many categories? I dunno man.
Wait explain to me like I am five.
They are using R600a because of the reduction in greenhouse emissions compared to an R410 or even the older R22. The old R22 units lasted decades while the new units only last a few years. So what is the exact greenhouse emissions/footprint of a single R-410 (and 20 years of service) fridge compared to 3-4 R-600 (might get 20 years with 3 units)?
The stainless steel filing cabinet in my kitchen is still very attractive, the only problem is that the interior is now 70 degrees and I find that food stays colder if I keep it in the cooler on my front porch.Really?? Surprising as LGs have "Just amazing quality look, feel, construction."
With mine the weak compressor was taken out by corrosion in the other piping. According to LG and the tech its inaccessible. Either way its bad engineering that they knew about but yet they kept building a design that reportedly had a failure rate of 4x the average.I don't think refrigerant type has anything to do with LG compressor failures, it's just a bad design.
Wow, awesome price. I’m sure you’re thrilled.View attachment 189365
We had a sudden refrigerator failure last night (Saturday), so this bad boy just went in. $949.99+tax from Lowe's, 27 cu. ft. It's a BEAST!
Replaced a 12 year old Maytag that suffered a massive compressor failure out of nowhere.
Wow, awesome price. I’m sure you’re thrilled.
Based on the photo, it looks like the same side by side as we purchased in the spring, but ours is the counter depth model which runs a little bit more money, but either way that price that you got is fantastic.
If you admire quality, fit, finish, materials, I’m sure you are in awe over that LG and that price is unmatched any place.
To us it’s an incredible value, unmatched any place in the marketplace.
Not problem free but solid and support is top notchany experience with a subzero brand? i hear its the speed queens of the fridge world.
Yeah, wow, great deal ^^^Thanks! We're loving it so far. For reference, here's the exact model we bought in case anyone is looking for a new fridge:
LG 27.6-cu ft Refridgerator
Yes, very high quality, like Miele.any experience with a subzero brand? i hear its the speed queens of the fridge world but miele exists so idk

R22 and R410A has never been used in residential refrigerators. Refrigerators were R12 then R134a and now R600a or R290. R600a and R290 both have better compression ratios so the the compressor isn't working nearly as hard as if it was using R134a. So compressors should last longer but that's not going to stop them from making them cheaper. Also the LG compressor failures were happening in units using R134a.Wait explain to me like I am five.

I just picked up a GE on sale at lowes for their labor day sale then it was an additional $100 off. The 3 year complete warranty was $147 extra plus it from the associate they give you one free water filter at $50 each free per year. If I dropped Three grand on a fridge it would have had the 5 year extended warranty added.A little over a year ago, I was at my brother’s house and his wife was showing off their new refrigerator. It was purchased from a box store, cost $3K, French door model (side-by-side doors with freezer on the bottom) and had all the bells and whistles. Fast-forward to last week and my wife was visiting their house. My wife commented about the brand new refrigerator that WASN’T the same one that was purchased a year ago. My SIL clenched her jaw and her temple bulged (what my wife said) and the story came out. Their new LG refrigerator purchased slightly over a year ago had a one year warranty and it failed after 54 weeks. Nobody would stand behind it (hey, your warranty has expired!) and they had to buy a new one. The irony is that my brother is a HVAC/electrician man with 50 years experience, but a year ago his wife purchased this without his help. I wonder if she asked for his buying help this time. Or at least got one with a better warranty.
Moral of the story: Check the warranty on your high ticket appliances before you buy them.
