I have to write this after seeing the reviews about older LGs here. This model has only been out since March of '23. I bought it after the compressor failed on my previous, 8 1/2 year old LG. It is basically the same model, but, because of the known issues with their Linear compressor, they now have a new compressor type, Smart Inverter. From what I've read, there haven't been a bunch of issues with it yet. Time will tell. But you would think since they got a bad rep b/c of the Linear compessor that they would put a lot of effort into making sure the new one is OK. Also, the build quality of the LG fridges are much better than most of the competition at the same price level. I was at a huge home goods store here in Dallas, looking at the clearance fridges. Lots of Frigidaires were returned. And the low end Kitchen Aids looked very similar to the Frigidaires. Just looking at the seals on the doors, and the trays... much lower quality. I really liked my old LG, but figured it was better to get a new one than spend $500 or so to get it repaired. A bit of a shame, as otherwise it is in perfect condition. One thing to note is that the repair guys say that ice units in the door can often fail. But so many fridges have that now. And I just use cube trays anyway and don't even hook up the water line. Bottom line, LG makes a well built fridge. If I have any issues in the years ahead with this model I'll post an update, but not expecting any.
