best buy refuses to fix
Bought an LG front load washer and dryer from Best Buy almost two years ago. It shakes during the spin cycle, which I had specifically asked about before it was purchased. Within a month, we had a service man come and look at it. He said all we could do is purchase the rubber that go under it to reduce the shake. The Lg washer should not have been sold to us because it needs to be on a concrete floor. Best Buy, of course, would do nothing.
Now the washer is completely broken. The service man says it is unfixable due to the repeated shaking during the spin cycle. I still have three year warranty left, and Best Buy will do nothing. Says it is our fault for not having a concrete floor. We now have to purchase another washer, which of course will not match the dryer. We are out over $1000 for a wahser that is still under warranty, but Best Buy has weasled out of replacing or repairing it.

I wanted to share my experiences with folks out there who have or had the same problem that I had-a cracked drum on an LG dryer.
My model is DLEX5101W purchased on 10/2015. I recently discovered I had a cracked drum along the seam. I was alerted to this when the dryer was making a thumping noise. This problem is a well known issue, judging by the amount of complaints online. My wife called LG customer service @ [protected] two times. The representatives she spoke with-who by the way were in the Philippines and barely spoke English-said the drum is out of warranty (only 1 yr) there was nothing they could do. However, they were willing to sell us a 1 year warranty for $348 that would also cover the current repair. They offered a second warranty for $243 that covered the repair for 60 days-nothing else. When we asked the 2nd rep for a list of authorized LG service repair shops (we live on Long Island, NY) he said there were none on Long Island! So, does that mean Home Depot and Lowes sells a product that cannot be serviced by an authorized tech? That’s like buying a Honda vehicle with no authorized Honda mechanics available in the area you live. My wife asked him are you really sure about this? He replied that since he was in the Philippines, there was no way to be sure.
My wife then called the executive office in Alabama complaining about the obvious defect, and the rep there told my wife the same thing-there was nothing they could do. Offered the same warranty as the 2 reps in the Philippines. However, she did manage to give us a list of authorized repair shops. So, I called the first shop and they wanted $110 just to come out and look at the dryer and apply the service charge towards the repair. The call to the second shop however, changed everything for us.
I began the conversation by telling the owner of the repair shop that I had an LG Dryer with a cracked drum. He stops me in mid-sentence and tells me there is a LG Service Bulletin that acknowledges there is a defect with their drums and the warranty has been extended for the drum to 10 years from date of purchase-parts and labor included! The bulletin apparently covers several models which unfortunately he couldn’t tell me, but I confirmed that our model number was indeed covered. He was really angry that no one told us about this from LG. He told me to call back the executive office and tell them about this Service Bulletin. I thanked him profusely.
My wife calls back the Alabama office and gets a different rep on the phone. My wife gave the rep the model number and explained the problem. Before my wife could inform the rep about the service bulletin, the rep told her, no problem the drum is still covered under a special warranty! What?! My wife informs the rep that she called the same office the day before and was told there was nothing LG could do except offer the 1 year or 60 day warranty. The rep could not explain why none of the other 3 reps didn't see what she saw in their system-that there is an extended warranty in place for the dryer drum for certain models.
This situation was unbelievable as we were about to either buy the warranty, or pay for the repair, or I was going to replace it myself. If it weren’t for the honesty of the repair shop owner (who by the way, ultimately did the repair job under warranty), we would be out the cost of the repair. This almost sounds criminal in nature, as there were obviously no mailings informing owners of the new extended warranty covering the drum for certain dryer models. 3 LG customer service reps also did not inform us of this fact.
My advice for those of you experiencing the same predicament with the cracked drum is to call the executive office [protected]) and ask them to check for any service bulletins covering the drum. I would also call the authorized LG repair shops in your area and ask them to check for the service bulletins as well. I see too many people online complaining about this same defect and unfortunately some have gone ahead and did the repair at their own expense. It’s sad that LG could not do right by their customers, and apparently have chosen to still keep this a “secret”…….
I have bought LG Washing Machine with 100% Drier.right from the day I have bought the Drier is not working properly.Everytime I complain the Technician comes and addresses the problem.Next time it is the same story.Now LG has come with the idea that I dont know how to use the button.I have lived abroad and know to use these gadgets.I have been requesting them to replace with the new one but they are refusing to do it.They dont want to accept that the machine has manufacturing defect.I am going to the consumer court to get justice.

I bought a pair of LG front loaders from Conn's. They where 6 months old! Used them 8 - 10 hours prior to the fire! Lost everything in my home including my two dog who where trapped in the house! I am a single mother of four kids an all Conn's could say is sorry an LG. Will not return my calls. Let's me just say I had the hotel remove their LG TV before I would go to sleep with my kids in the hotel! Please don't but LG!
Lg is total crap. Going on my second drum in the dryer now along with 3rd set of drum rollers. Washer stinks amd is on its 3rd pump. Refrigerator ice door does not close. New gaskets needed on it. Trays broken and are not available any more. I could go on and on. So pissed off its not funny. All 3 are about 6 years old. Thinking about starting a class action on the dryer drum issue. To think I liked their phones and I went all in for this Korean junk. NEVER AGAIN LG!
My dryer has a faulty weld on the seam of the drum and is coming apart. The dryer is only 1 1/2 years old. I called LG about this and they said "too bad" I called one more time because I am furious and I paid a lot of money and the woman told me she would talk to someone and get back to me the next day about possibly replacing the drum for me and she never called back. Also, regarding the washer it has the awful odor many others do (musty) this is also a manufacturing defect and I don't feel it should be my problem and that I should have to bleach the machine every month to get rid of the odor. The reason the water sits is a bad design on the part of LG and they should be held responsible! I will never purchase a LG product again!
Help in finding out the handset
I have the same problem. The LG washer is stink, no matter how much I clean it. Dyer drum is cracked at seam after 18 months, making bumping noise. I will never touch or recommend LG product ever.
Do not buy LG top load washer wt507cw
They did give me money back for the defected
washer, but now I have a dryer that will not match
a new washer. These washers cause rust
on the top of the machine. I have had washers last for years and
years. This machine lasted one year before it began leaking
and rusting out!
China made and horrible! Really why make this machine. It is a rip off!

2 nights ago i had my 8.5kg 4.5 kg dryer catch fire and completely burn up infront of my eyes. 6 firemen were at my house trying to get it... lg (lifes good) ... yeah right now whos gonna wash me washing...
I have had my LG Washer for 4 years and I will never buy another LG anything. My dryer seems to do ok but the washer does not clean my clothes. I am the only person in my household and my white clothes have turned dingy and grey. My wash clothes are disgusting. They come out of the machine looking like a cup of tea has been poured right into the middle of it. Thats not what they looked like when they went into the machine. I have tried everything LG has told me to do. Today I am pulling out the expense crap and buying another brand. I had read Consumer Reports before purchasing the products and they have LG a high rating. They need to put more research into the products they rate.

We purchased the LRFD25850ST model fridge and have had NOTHING but problems with it. We also purchased a 4 year extended warranty from Home Depot which has turned out to be worthless. The freezer does not maintain a consistent temperature. As a result, I have had to stop buying ice cream and popsicles due to the frustration on finding them turned into soup. Everything is coated in a huge amount of ice buildup. Anything placed near the rear of the refrigerator freezes, no matter what temperature I set it at. I have lost so much spring mix and so many vegetables to this nearly $2000 hunk of junk. The "repair" man told me I had to keep the fridge pulled out 12"+ from the wall, which puts it right in the middle of my kitchen. He also said that defrosting it would fix all of these problems. HA.
Also, in the past 3 months, we have had the (cheap plastic) attachment break off of the handle to the freezer, the white hinged door sensor up top snap in half, and also 3 or the 4 drawers have broken hinges. None of these parts are covered past 1 yr., and when I went to order I found that I would have to replace the entire door to fix the small plastic hinge that broke. TWO of the parts to repair are about $400. We are contemplating just going to buy a new fridge at this point.
The other thing I wish I had realized is that the large tray/drawer in the bottom of the fridge seems to be a nice feature, but it costs you alot of space in the above shelves. There is very little space for tall items inside the fridge, so we constantly must resort to laying juice and other tall items on their sides risking spills. The light fixture up top and water filter together take up a huge amount of space. The light infringes on that premium "tall" item space on the top shelf. We have tried all sort of configurations, but nothing is quite right! The beeping is obnoxious to let you know that the door has been left open. I don't know why they couldn't find a less shrill alarm sound. You get pretty used to it over time, but it still gets to me when I have to load a bunch of groceries into it.
I won't even get into the issues we are having with the LG washer & dryer we purchased at the same time. AVOID LG at all costs!

It’s the power company overloading your machine causing ice on the coil call me [protected]
The compressor went out on my LG this week. The manufactured date 2014. LG said they would stand by the 10 year warranty on the part, but the labor was quoted for $600. It was tempting to pay up. The unit was great for 5+years but, after talking with two repair people, I decided it would be better to toss this garbage because the replacement compressors are still the flawed design that LG is so proud of. (crooks) I tried to get customer service to send the compressor to my house so I could fix it myself. They would not do this. The repair companies I talked to are dealing with many complaints about the replacements being loud also. They told me straight up, "stay away from LG, Kenmore, Samsung, because they will keep costing you money in compressor repairs". It sucks to throw $2000 at a fridge that is useless after 5.5 years. I know now not to buy from these guys. I hope they know that when you piss people off, they do not forget. They tell their families and friends. Hey Mr. LG CEO, your company is on my poop list. I'm not spending another dollar on anything that says LG or Kenmore.
LFX28968st refrigerator apparently has major issues with its linear compressor. LG has even started covering the compressors for 10 years if you can get an authorized tech to work on it as apparently LG doesn't reimburse well and the compressors are going out right and left.
ecs payment
I have purchased a colour LG TV worth Rs. 16, 000 from Bajaj Electronics, Panjagutta Hyderabad on 24 th June through Bajaj Finance interest free scheme. I submitted all the necessary documents which were required by Bajaj Finance people and I have also signed the mandate for monthly ECS for my ING Vysya Bank.
The 1st installment was supposed to be due in July but I was informed by your people that my ECS Pyment got bounced back saying "Mandate is not submitted". I tried calling finance company branch for the same but I did not get any proper response from them. August09 was the second month again I was informed that the ECS got bounced back for the same reason. I contacted my bankers that they have not received the Mandate for ECS payment. My LAN 4000CD00008376
Every time I am calling the finance company some or the other person takes the call and will say we will revert back in 10 mins but they never came back. I even tried escalating this to their senior people through email but still no response and nothing is being done from their side This kind of service is not at all expected from an organization like Bajaj Finance.
I would really appreciate if you can help me in this and resolve this for me so that next month the same thing does not repeat and if i could also get a letter clearly stating the reason for ECS bounce which I can use as a proof for my future loan applications.

Recently i purchased 4 split a/c's 1 fridge, always had the liking for LG products, but very bad after sales service, from the time i hv put up the split a/c in my hall, the sensor is not working, i have complained more thn 10 to 12 times, no result, i have been calling up on your helpline no [protected] speaking to Mr Kuldeep, always trying to help, but poor chap, he also does not what to answer, area manager does not pick up his cell: [protected], pls suggest the alternate, thx Pawan.D.Ramchandani [protected]-[protected][protected]@yahoo.com
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I had purchased LG split A/c about a year ago and its warranty is for 3 years. With span for 1 year it was repaired 3 times. Out of 2 times it stopped working after servicing by LG personnel. Now at this moment A/C is not working and there is some part which was supposed to be replaced week ago and we have been told that part is not available. I refuse to believe that inventory control is so bad that it cannot deliver a single part within a span of one week. The repair person informs that it may take few more days to get that part and being a customer I really do not care about the operational issues. I always heard about bad after sale service of LG but now I have experienced it.

freezer sensor breaks and incapacitates fridge
My LG refrigerator purchased in May 2007, model#LRFD22850 began having problems with the freezer sensor one month after my 1yr warranty ran out. After many attempts and hours on the phone with LG- and them telling me all the things I must be doing wrong in operating my fridge- they agreed to pay for the repair. Even after that the freezer has never worked properly and has continually iced over. We had to disconnect the water line as the ice tray froze solid and now one year after the initial repair the part is broken again and the fridge is unusable until fixed. LG told me that it was my problem since I did not purchase an extended warranty. I asked them why I should have to pay to warranty a 2000.00 appliance in the first year of use! As I scan the internet, I have tried to make some sense of us as consumers allowing the appliance industry to become so incompetent and deliver such poor quality and service. Although LG seems to one of the worst offenders, there are thousands of complaints against many different brands, and the more expensive, the more the problems. Why have we allowed this to happen?!

compressor not working
The large drawer in the top section of my LG refrigerator (model #LFC25770SW) won't open. It seems locked in place. I've looked with a flashlight and no food items are caught against the top.
I purchased my LG bottom freezer two-door french style fridge a few months ago and the loudnoise from the freezer having built up frost which i hope isn't going to cast me someething in repairs already. The sensor. I already hate the door!

After repeatedely complaints nobody had bother to solve the problem.It means that LG is just bother to sell its product at any cost wheather the product is worth or not. Besides this the service which they provide is useless that hardly any follow up of the complaint is is done.I request all the buyers looking to buy a washing a machine should never think of buying any LG product in life.There are many more brands which provide worth services any the products are good.Useless brand and useless service.
I purchased a front load LG washer in July of 2011, 4 months later my washer started shakeing and vibrating violently they sent a company out to replace motor and barrings. The washer is still vibrating and shaking violenty have called LG they sent another company out which reported the same thing is still happening. I have yet to hear from LG after several calls to speak to a supervisor. I called 15 minutes ago and ask to speak to supervisor they told me he was on another call and could he call me back, I told them no because I have been waiting on a return call since last week and a response to the last company that came out here. It sounds to me like LG is just in it for the money once they sale you a defected product they disappear and look to sale more defected products.

washing machine service is absolutely rotten
The LG Electronics India Pvt. Ltd, , Service Department is absolutely rotten and they have people who don't even know what they are talking about. Nobody is ready to take any responsibilities.
We purchased the machine almost a year ago and the front panel started giving us trouble. They created a case the it was bitten by mouse (hillarious!). I don't have mouse in my house. After repeated complaints and promises from their service department we had to finally spend money to get it replaced. We ensured that the mouse safety is installed in our machine.
Few months later the motor stops working. Now they are promising every day that they will come and have not shown their face yet. After lot of frustrating arguments one engineer shows up with a new motor but fix the machine without even installing the new motor. Few days later it stopped again. I don't believe LG hires people who don't even know what is working and what is not - completely incompetent people. The customer care people rough / rude to their customers. The head of service department is a BIG liar and tries to milk money out of customer by creating case like mouse biting etc
It has been more than a month now and we are still struggling to get their attention. Last time we spent 3 months. Seems like they are waiting for the warranty to expire and then they will have good reason to milk more money from us.
The customer care here in Thane, India is absolutely rotten, disgusting, and full of incompetent people. Absolutely frustrating experience for customers.

cheating
Washine Machine worth Rs. 22500/- being sold at 25420/- by Panchkula LG Dealer.
LG Washing Machine, model Front loading WD 10490 TP was sold by Amar Electronics, Sector 14, Panchkula for Rs. 25420/- where as it was available at Rs. 22500 /- in the market. The customer Mr. Rajeev Kanda, resident of sector 10, Panchkula bought the machine on dated 14.07.09, Bill no. 1245, but later enquired the rates at other shops in Panchkula and Chandigarh and was stunned to know the difference of rate in a machine by Rs. 2920/-
The dealer was contacted to sort out this issue. He agreed that the difference is true but stated his inability to refund the extra charged money as the LG company is charging him extra than other dealers in the Tricity. This is the new way to loot the innocent customers who put their faith in these well established companies and their showrooms.

non replacement of defective split a. c.

Dear sir,
Non replacement of defective split a. c. (lg)
Model lsa 5wb2 vf
I come to know about you through website. I appreciate your services for solving the complaints of lg hence I hope that your will solve my complaint too.. my complaint is as under:-
I am a heart patient and gone for angio plasty surgery. as I feel un comfort during summer I purchased split ac for lg on 18.4.2008. with a period of six months gas were refilled as there were no coolling. after refilling gas, again machine were lossing coolling gradually. machine was repaired frequently hence I request lg noida as well sales office, ahmedabad (gujarat - india) through email and legal notice that as machine is defective please replace the same. I received message from local sales office of lg ahmedabad (gujarat) that they repaired once but not replace it as per warranty policy. my argument that the machine were defective during the warranty period and frequently were repaired. also suggested that if you are not going to replace it then:-
To carry out repairs with conditions that unit will work satisfactorily up to one year.
Extend warranty period of 1 year.
Further my demand for replacement of machine is also correct and valid because machine supplied is defective during the warranty period and requires frequently services. some mechanics sent during warranty period for periodical services were also not trained, they were finishing services within a time of 10 minutes, sometimes their views were contradicting each other. thus, in the whole issue, the problem is of defective machine and we are harassing on the account of said defective machine
I hope that you will to the needful in the matter.
Thanks

no response to repeated request of repair
I am a resident of Gulshan-e-Shamim adjacent to Yasinabad Shamim Compound complain No. 200018, I am constantly trying to contact the concern officials of the so called customer services provided by LG Pakistan but despite the visit of their field technician whom I paid Rs. 200 for the visit to identify the fault and take necessary action required to repair or replace the split Ac. unit, a week ago nobody come to maintain or collect the faulty unit for maintinance, however Mr. Shahzad Butt who is supposed to be the focal person for complaint handling assured me that the desired job will be done by today but even after the promised date nobody from LG bothered to do so, rather they are doing lipservice to console the customer but contrary to the recognised business ethics they are behaving in a strange manner while I tried to remind them their promise, is there have any tru business policy of LG. Pakistan to entertain the complaints of their customers. I wish those who gothrough the nerration should takecare of buying LG Products, as the nightmare I experienced is at least enough for me to avoide LG Brand lifetime. my grievances are quite real and not the exaggeration I am not biased about the company but a victim of LG customer services department for Karachi.
