I’ve had my LG kitchen appliances for 10 years, only thing that happened was a fuse in the fridge blew- replaced it and nothing since. Oh and the magnetron in the microwave went after 8 years. I replaced it and gtg. My w/d are front load Samsung, same age. Dryer element went out this year, replaced it. With so many good mechanics here I’m surprised everybody doesn’t fix their own. It’s usually something simple and there’s YouTube videos on most of the problems just like with vehicles. Fix em, guys! They’re definitely easier than most repairs on our vehicles and they’re not covered in grease.I’ve had problems with my Samsung fridge as well as 3 other family members. I won’t buy Samsung or LG large appliances. Their TV’s and electronics are great. Large appliances not so much. $0.02.
