#20873 — Expensive fridges are dying young. Owners are suing, claiming fraud

Betsy Anderson’s luck with refrigerators stinks as badly as the food she’s 
tried to keep cold. 

“One morning I went to get milk out and it was sour,” said the Redwood 
City homeowner.  

First, a $2,800 Kenmore Elite fridge — with an LG compressor inside — died 
in late 2019. “It was like 15 months old,” she said. “It basically stopped 
working. It wasn’t cold.”

Anderson filed for warranty service. But after two months of replacement 
parts failing, techs canceling service calls, and Thanksgiving 
approaching, she broke down and bought another fridge: a brand-new LG. 

Groundhog day: $2K fridge edition
It only lived four years. “That just died, this year. Same thing. And I 
didn’t even bother calling them,” Anderson said.  

If you’re keeping score, that’s one Redwood City home with two dead 
fridges in just five years.
“Yeah, two,” Anderson said. “Unfortunately, we bought another LG fridge. 
So, I guess that’s the definition of insanity, right?” 

Betsy’s not alone. We searched our nationwide Responds complaint database. 
Over the past few years, our NBC and Telemundo sister stations around the 
country have heard from dozens of upset LG and Kenmore owners. 

Terese in Philadelphia said her fridge failed when it was “only seven 
months old.” Bernadette in San Diego said “technicians have been to my 
home seven times.” That sounds a lot like Kaare in LA’s story… “[The] fix 
lasted one week. I have had a total of six repair visits and have not had 
a working refrigerator for two months.”

Some frustrated fridge owners are heading to court. 

Fed up and off to federal court
“It’s a nationwide issue,” said Los Angeles attorney Azar Mouzari. She 
represents plaintiffs who are now suing LG. She says her firm is focused 
on a critical part called the linear compressor inside LG and some Kenmore 
refrigerators. “Which is really the heart of the refrigerator," Mouzari 
said. "It’s what keeps the food cold.” 

According to LG literature, the linear compressor uses less energy and 
makes less noise than other compressors. LG offers a 10-year warranty and, 
online, boasts “20-year durability.” But Mouzari argues in the lawsuit the 
linear compressor’s actual lifespan is nowhere near 10 years, let alone 
20. Her suit claims they frequently break down far earlier — and LG knows 
it.

Mouzari is asking a federal judge to make her clients' lawsuit a class 
action because she believes droves of families are facing the same 
breakdown. “Thousands, if not tens of thousands,” she said. “We have been 
inundated with calls.”  

Old problem, new claim: fraud
LG previously faced litigation over its refrigerator, including compressor 
failures. In 2020, LG settled a different, class-action lawsuit, covering 
people who bought select models between Jan. 1, 2014 and Dec. 31 2017. 
Mouzari’s suit is new. And it makes a new claim: fraud. She argues in the 
suit that LG is defrauding people like Betsy Anderson -- who bought after 
2018 -- because LG continues to make a linear compressor that falls short 
of its “20-year durability.” 

“We know that they’ve known about this issue. And they know the rate of 
failure is just unreasonably high,” Mouzari said.  

Mouzari also names in her suit several major national chain stores that 
sold LG and Kenmore refrigerators. “Because those retailers were aware of 
the issue,” she explained. 

NBC contacted LG and Kenmore about the lawsuit. LG told the NBC Los 
Angeles Responds team that the company does not comment on pending 
litigation. It is fighting the suit in court. 

When LG settled the previous class action suit, the agreement said LG, 
“specifically denies any alleged defect in the LG refrigerators.” Kenmore 
says it no longer sells refrigerators with an LG compressor. 

Mouzari says the new lawsuit is gaining traction. 

100+ plaintiffs, so far
“Currently, we have 102 plaintiffs,” she noted. “We are getting calls all 
the time.”

She wants LG to extend people’s warranties up to 20 years. And refund 
anyone who says they bought a dud LG or Kenmore after 2018. People like 
Betsy Anderson.

“It’s a tremendous hassle,” she said. “I think they should make it right. 
And I think they should do a recall like an automaker.”

If you bought an LG or Kenmore refrigerator after 2018, you can contact 
Mouzari’s firm to learn more about the lawsuit.

Duh.  Buy a different brand.  Check the reviews.  Ask your local
appliance repair shop what they recommend.

Yeah, I would have thought that to be common sense but it seems sense

He was a hedonist in general.  Quite the philanderer.

He also invented an improved "Urinary Catheter" that looks like it would

He was also sleeping with women all over the place including friend's girlfriends and such.

This occurred in England, France, America and so forth.

Yes, he was a hedonist in general.  Quite the philanderer.  

In HBO's "John Adams" there is a scene wherein John Adams stumbles onto Franklin sharing a
tub with a French Duchess with whom he's playing chess and discussing politics.

There are worse sins.  The 'boat thief' thing probably carries its own 
punishment.

"Improved."

So was Feynman, but nobody complains about him.

He also said, "It is better to let 100 criminals go free than to
imprison 1 innocent man."  

There are a lot of business owners in Minneapolis who would disagree
after their stores were destroyed by antifa.

The Samsung gas stove (1 year warranty) needed an igniter at the 8th 
month.  It took 3 service trips.  Our big-screen Samsung TV failed at 14 
months. The idea of an expensive device having only a 1-year warranty is 
disturbing and I will never again buy anything made by Samsung.
