LG Electronics

Battery of cell LG RD 3500 gets discharge within an hour inspite of fully charging the battery.Checked with new battery also, but condition is same.

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.

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.

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

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. Regards, Shahzad Ul Haq.

We bought our DVD Player/Recorder RH387-M in October last year(2008). At first everything was working fine, but after 2 months we started to get some problems; the DVD player would not read anymore discs. We called the company about this, and they sent us an email about not being able to qualify for their services despite saying on the phone that this is a very common problem with this specific model.
So for two months we were able to record onto dvd's, but little did we know that these dvds would not be readable for any other type of dvd player, we tried at least 4 different brands.
Now, not even 1 year after buying the product, all the functions are off and the DVD, for almost $300, is garbage.
Never buy any products from LG - Life is Good only for LG and not for their customers.

I bought a LG 37" LCD 2 years ago and the picture is now junk. I called LG to see if they could either fix it or help me get it fixed. They said they couldn't help me because it was no longer under warranty. I can somewhat understand that, but when you spend $1400 on something you expect it to last longer than 2 years. I mean they couldn't help in any way in trying to get it fixed, ie. me sending it in and paying for it, them sending out a service person and me paying for it. The only advice they could give me on getting it fixed was to see if the store where I bought it could help. This company makes these TV's, takes your money and when they crap out on you is not willing to help in any way. LG is junk and I will never purchase anything made by them again.

LG India and its service engineer are doing fraud with unsuspecting customer. When a customer register a complain, its service engineers visits and they replaces the original parts with faulty and duplicate one and charge to the customer. Once this is done, they get the record of the complain removed from the system with the help of LG official, so that the customer can not be able to prove it. Many of official, customer care people and service engineers are hand in glove in this fraud.If any person get caught by a customer red handed they simply close that service center to cover the entire farud. So next time you buy a LG product please beware of its service centers.

Purchased over a dozen lg model lp070ced air-conditioners (ptac's) and have had many problems. internal fan motor constantly goes our so that it cannot blow cold air. believe it or not lg is still installing fan motors that have problems. they still have not addressed the problem. five problems in less than a year of service. I would not recommend this unit to your worst enemy.

I have an LG microwave oven. About one month back it started showing errors in its display system. On lodging a complaint, it was attended to thrice by technicians from LG Electronics. First, the circuit board was replaced, then the heating device was replaced. Even then, the oven failed to work properly. The technician then said that the transformer needed to be replaced. The next day another technician checked the oven and said that the transformer was OK but something was wrong with the switches. After that nobody has come to attend to the oven, despite giving repeated reminders.
IS THIS THE KIND OF SERVICE EXPECTED FROM SUCH A REPUTED COMPANY? THEY CAN'T HIRE COMPETENT TECHNICIANS?

After buying a new LG E-500 notebook, last summer, from CompUSA and having the screen fail as well as typing key problems I fought with CompUSA and LG services over warrantee repairs (which took three months) and then sent the unit from Belize C.A., where I am located, to Canada, as requested by LG. for the stated repairs.
After two more months, the unit was returned to to me through a USA friend traveling here to see me and I found that the power cord was not returned, thus, a useless notebook.
I have been in e-mail contact with the "repair agent", CCS GROUP, in Canada for the past 5 weeks, seeking the power cord.
They no longer reply. The only statement they made, three weeks into the "discussion" was that LG would send them another cord for, for me ( no time, no place, no further replys)
NEVER EVER BY AN L G ANYTHING. I can't believe I found a company worse than SONY to deal with, but I did.
At this point, you can buy my worthless computer for $800 if you have a power cord. I don't!

Well i myself waited whole day for him then i have spoken to Mr. Ajay Chawla ([protected] at 8.30 PM.) from there I have got Mr. Atul's No. ([protected]), he apologized and informed me that somebody will visit my place and install standby AC at my home at around 11.00 PM (11Th July 09) then at around 10.10 PM. I received phone call from Mr. Murli ([protected]) and he apologise and informed me that we are unable to provide Standby AC tonight, we will pick your AC on 12th July 09 Morning and deliver on same day.

This problem exist for last 2 years. FIrst time i am seeing this site. I have bought a LG 2 ton Split A/C. Just after finishing the first year, the problem started. The room will get cooled for 10 minutes after that A/C compressor is tripping. LG service people came and replace almost all parts of the A/C but still same. Now it is the second year. Another hot weather season in UAE. I went to other A/C service people and they also saying this cannot be repaired.

They are selling counterfeit windmills that they took from Calla Breeze wind turbine company.They are saying that they are the manufacturer of them when they are not.they have stated it to customers that have been in contact with me about this.I have customers that have sent me pictures of the items and they are indeed counterfeits being passed off as one of my windmills.

Terrible LG washing machine. I've had it for 4 years and about 2 years ago it started to smell mildewy. We live out in the country and on a water well system which is high in iron, so I thought it was that! I did read the manual and cleaned the filter and drained the water and on and on and on. When I called costumer service they only told me to do what I had already done. Again, kept thinking it was an isolated incident due to my water. They never suggested to get a tech to take a look at the problem, even though I had wasted more money on an extended warrenty>>>>

Then I went on the net and read all the 100s of stories posted by people which mirrored my situation. It is not my water, or anything I have done or didn't do. I leave the stupid door open all the time, my husband and I fight about that all the time as we all keep banging into it. I even take out the soap dispenser after each wash and clean the rubber. I have tried Tilex and Affresh and on and on, it still stinks..

I am sick of the way my clothes smell and the stinky washer. One interesting thing I also discovered was when I took out the soap dispenser while the wahser was running on the spin cycle and I took a look inside the rubber tube with a flash light, I found so much water sitting there that was not draining out! It was splashing around. Once the cycle was done, I took a long stick with a towle and when I took the towle out it was soaked and was black! I wonder where they tell you about that in the manuel? Those of you who were unfotunate enough to buy this piece of ---- should try this.

The company won't do anything. There are a few class action law suites in the United States against LG and others who have this faulty design. ANYONE KNOW OF ANY LAW SUITES IN CANADA? OR HOW WE CAN START ONE? What happened to mold and mildew being a health hazard? My husband and younger son have sever allergies and this only adds to their misery.

If anyone knows what us Canadains can do about this please post it on this site. PLEASE>...

We purchased LG washer, dryer, refridgerator & dishwasher all at the same time 2 years ago. We spent thousands of dollars on the appliances. In the first 2 months the dishwasher motor burned out and was replaced. Then, 1 year and 6 months after the purchace there was a fire in the refridgerator from the light source. Now, 2 years from the purchase the washing machine is dead. No power to it at all. The outlet has power and there is power going into the electrical cord, but the machine is dead. Customer service says that LG won't stand behind their machines after the one year manufacturer warranty and we're on our own to fix it. Never, never buy LG appliances. They stink!

I purchased the LG Refrigerator - French Door / Bottom Freezer LG model LFC22760. On its 2 year anniversary, the door broke. It turns out there is a very cheaply made plastic part that clips to the body that keeps each side door shut. Without it, the broken side doesn't positively seal. Online, the replacement part costs $85, and includes the entire door gasket. I've never had a large appliance break in so little time. Conceivably, I will need to buy 5-10 of them (2 doors...) over the life of the refrig. I'm disappointed - styling is great, but quality says Don't Buy LG!

We purchased and entire kitchen suite of appliances from LG Electronics and within two months had an issue with the icemaker. For the next 7 months the icemaker was change 4 times, the computer was changed, the control valve was changed along with the harness. It was finally determined that the refrigerator was unrepairable and would be replaced. The problem was that the model we have is no longer available and we had to take one that did not match the rest of the appliances. It was our problem not theirs and they would do nothing to make it right. We waited a long time to remodel our kitchen and we made sure that all the appliance matched, but because LG dragged the repair process out for 7 months when it came time to replace the defective unit, a matching unit was no longer available. LG has one of the poorest customer service organizations I have ever dealt with, DO NO BUY THEIR PRODUCTS.
