Our LG counter depth refrig, purchased in 2013, recently failed and we lost most of our food, as it crept up on us with the ice maker going first, then the freezer and finally the refrigerator compartment. Had to wait 5 days till the factory LG repairman got to us. The unit carries a 10 year parts warranty on the compressor and sure enough it was the compressor that was bad. The reason I went with the factory technician is they usually carry the most common parts on their truck, so he was able to repair it in about 2.5 hours and seemed very thorough in checking out the entire system. I asked him how long should these units actually last and he said typically 8 years, and said I should get about that after the repair. I must be old school and out of touch as I always thought refrigerators should last more like 15-20 years, although I have heard reports about LG linear compressors failing prematurely and in some cases even after a couple of years. Believe LG got hit with a class action lawsuit over these failures.
