Horrible transaction

Just want to know what is wrong with LG company.

Bought LG washer on 2/26, credit card charged on 3/5, delivery date was set for 3/7, it was never delivered.

Delivery auto text came but failed delivery three different times, they never came.

No communication from delivery other than false text saying it will be delivered, no number to call. LG rep can't call delivery company.

Rescheduled 3 times due to failed delivery, still no word from the delivery company.

They use contractors who are unreliable and causing the worst experience for the customers.

LG sent auto text for delivery, reps said the delivery company confirmed delivery today 9 to 5 but they never showed up, this was the 3rd time they didn't show.

LG CS reps have no clue what's going on, tells false reassurance and guarantees delivery, etc, just to get you off the phone.

The WORST NIGHTMARE!!

I've never experienced this type of problem with any other company in my life!!!

I called LG a hundred times to try to get an answer and no one can figure out what's going on.

Utter disappointment and big shame as Korean company, to say the least. Lowest standard of service ever!!!

Original review Feb 10, 2024

Terrible company. Customer service and corporate have denied any refunds Ive been eligible for, and have spent months denying any inquiries when trying to get in-contact with the presidential liaison team.

I was told Id be refunded for my TV (which has never been able to connect to the internet), and have spent over 2 months trying to close my case out for a TV model I purchased with a published manufacturing defect. Ive had technicians come to my home as well with a failed repair that damaged things even further.. Now my TV cant even recognize my WiFi device. Many of the UK modeled devices have a defective WiFi belt fabricated inside, and haven't been able to receive and transmit internet connection properly since I purchased it out the box from Costco.

The company has lied to me about promising a refund, and at this point I have more than enough evidence to escalate this issue with the Better Business Bureau. I have text messages and voice recordings also to prove their false promises in refunding me after filling out the necessary forms and credentials showing proof of purchase with a receipt. I have followed all the necessary guidelines, and by now they have stopped following up on my case completely. Not to mention, whenever the presidential liaison team calls me back they hang up the phone immediately and state they attempted to get in contact with me.

Im pretty much at a loss now ..

I cant stress enough how terrible their customer service is. Company is a complete scam, and they do everything in their power to not make "Life Good" for you.

Have money to waste... BUY LG

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
LG Electronics - Have money to waste... BUY LG

LG Support does not know their products and compatibility with other LG products.

Reached out to LG support via Facebook to check the compatibility of rear speakers and an existing sound bar. LG support confirmed compatibility.

Made the purchase of rear speakers as a Xmas gift.

Attempted to connect the new rear speakers to the existing sound bar and my surprise they would not wirelessly connect and there was not a wired connection option. Reached back out to LG support to address the lack of connectivity who had me doing and trying different things for over 2 weeks. After about 3 weeks in this hamster wheel of telling me that the two units were compatible and trying different things to connect the 2 units, I was finally told that they realized that the two units were NOT compatible.

At this point, I realize that I am also past the return date at Best Buy which is where I purchased from. I only find this out when I go into return as that is a separate issue and review.

Best Buy accommodates me the best they can since I am after the 2-week holiday return policy and provides me with a gift card for the full amount of my purchase. The gift card is of no use to me as I typically do not shop at this store and have not made a purchase in over 10 years there before this one.

I reached out to LG to explain my issues with the return and not being granted a refund to my debit account and request that LG refund the monies. I would have been more than willing to send LG the Best Buy gift card had they issued a refund. I am not looking to receive a double refund but would like my refund to my debit card so that I can purchase my mother-in-law a new Christmas Gift.

I was told by the text customer support that a presidential liaison would be able to decide to refund me my money and that what I am requesting is not unreasonable. (I have all the messages from day 1 when I reached out before Christmas).

After several more weeks of asking LG support when will I receive a call from the presidential liaison, and be told that the case was closed and that they reached out? I got an actual text message asking how my service was with the presidential liaison that I just talked with. I DID NOT EVER TALK WITH A PRESIDENTIAL LIAISON at this point!

I again reached out to support, and another week went by, and I got a text from Chasity who identifies herself as a presidential liaison.

When I received this text, I asked that they call as I have been stuck in this hamster wheel of messages and texts with LG and that it should not be a business protocol to text an individual about a complaint and ongoing issue. The next text I received stated "Calling" When I received the call Chasity told me that all she could offer would be a service call. For what? There is nothing that a service call would have done to rectify the issue of connectivity if the units were NOT compatible and I no longer have the unit, I have a useless me Bust Buy gift card.

When I bring this to her attention, she then offers me a 15% coupon towards future purchases. What would ever make this woman think that I would make another LG purchase again in my lifetime after all the issues with this one is mind-boggling. Not to mention this 15% is less than what I would get if I made a normal purchase.

When I could see that I was not getting anywhere and Chasity had the knowledge and common sense of a brick of soap, I asked for her supervisor or manager. Chasity let me know that she is the supervisor and there is no one higher than herself.

I asked who the owner of LG is if it's a board of individuals or a single person. At this point, Chasity reminded me that all LG calls are recorded and that this call is not being resolved so she is going to end the call and hung up. Thats rightHUNG UP ON ME.

I was not yelling, not making rude or disrespectful comments which were certainly warranted but continued to ask to talk with her manager or escalate this issue above her department.

I sit still in the same position I have been an unresolved issue, LG employees not having any clue, a Best Buy Gift Card that is worthless to myself and my mother-in-law, and my issue not resolved. Beware of LG they do not know about the products they sell, and their customer service is terrible, maybe the worst I've ever experienced.

LG Electronics - My cooktop have been on back order for so long

Its been 3 months, I have been waiting for my cooktop model#CBGJ3023S and everytime I call they keep saying that it was on back order. What kind of back order it that!?

Last time I called they put me on the phone with someone that work in LG and they said that it was ready to be delivered yet when I kept calling they are saying the same thing that it was on back order. All events and holidays have gone worse because we couldnt cook anything without a cooktop which impacted our whole family and they dont seem to care about their costumers.

Its the last *** time Im ordering something from them. Im *** done.

First of all I had to pay $2300 (Lowes-massive mistake) for a product I really didnt like because it was Covid time and you had to take what you could get. My other appliance choices were LG so I moved ahead with the refrigerator.

It was built so cheaply, a yogurt container fell on the bottom and broke a plastic part, happened twice so ridiculously thin plastic. Its shameful. The design is terrible, didnt they Consumer tested? You cant even get the bins and the glass partitions out easily.

Designed by somebody who never interfaces and cleans a refrigerator. The refrigerator is so noisy. Its ridiculous. Im so disgusted with the range and the refrigerator.

Ill never buy anything LG again. My next house, this was a flup house, going back to inexpensive but efficient Whirlpool, which was indestructible and did it for less than half the price of the very cheap LG product

Defective junk with zero support. Robbed of $1600+

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

LG's customer service is so bad that I had to escalate my complaint to the president's office.

After a very slow response, I provided proof of purchase to the president's liaison, Jarmaine Brown. was repeatedly promised a response within 24-48 hours; however, I have been waiting for several weeks.

The social media team stopped responding after assuring me that they would continually follow up on my complaint (there is no indication they ever did. I've spoken to numerous agents via chat and phone, all of whom promise a call back within 24 hours. It doesn't happen.

They're lying to me every time I speak to them. LG owes me about $1600 for a defective projector that can't be serviced as there are no parts available a mere 2 years from manufacture date.

Unless I'm immediately refunded I'll spend the rest of my life writing complaints about LG.

I'll seek to start another class action against them. Legal action seems to be the only thing they respond to.

Horrible company.

Exploding LG washer - Claim # RNN231201****78

My 2.5 year old $2000 - LG signature washing machine exploded approximately 2.5 weeks ago. If anyone of my family was in the laundry room when this happened they would have been seriously hurt or killed.

The walls of my laundry room and my Maytag dryer were damaged. A technician came to the house on 12/1/23 and since then I have to go through LG chatbox to get any feedback.

I had a new washing machine delivered but it could not be installed as the LG washer exploded and is now 42" wide at the lower half and can not go through the laundry room door without damaging it. The delivery company says LG needs to send someone to disassemble it or panel beat it to make it smaller. They will return to install the new machine but there will be a service charge.

In the interim I am having family clothes laundered and running up a bill.

I saw on You-Tube a news article with another customer about his exploded machine so this is not new with LG machines. It seems that something this serious should have better customer support from LG.

How do I get this taken care of? Do I have to be on the news as well?

Upset customer.

Refrigerator compressor broke and won't reimburse me

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
LG Electronics - Refrigerator compressor broke and won't reimburse me

We purchased the LRFCS25D3S from Best Buy and it was delivered on July 1, 2021. Had I known there was a class action lawsuit against LG for refrigerator compressors not working, then I would have NEVER bought this thing.

The notorious LG refrigerator broke on December 16, 2023.

I called LG to set up the repair and they said they would send a tech in 3-5 business days. An appointment was made with the tech and they NEVER showed up for that appointment. We found their contact information and called them. They didn't even apologize for the no call no show, then said they would have to order a new compressor and it could take weeks.

We didn't hear back from them until January 2024. Two days before Christmas, we were tired of waiting for the tech and called LG to see if we could get someone on our own to come repair the refrigerator, pay out of pocket and be reimbursed completely for the repair. At no point did ANY of the customer service agents, during any of my 10+ calls mention that I would only be eligible for a partial reimbursement. Since it was a weekend call and two days before Christmas, the out of pocket repair came out to $1,284.

The repair didn't happen until a few days AFTER Christmas.

We have three children and cook ALL of our meals at home. We also had two Christmas parties planned, with food already purchased, that we had to CANCEL, and LOST all of the food. We had to throw ALL of it away. Hundreds of dollars worth of food was lost.

I have the receipts from all purchases that were made right before the refrigerator broke and all purchases made after it was fixed to restock all of the food.

I sent the invoice for the repair, which was an issue in itself. A supervisor approved the refund and at NO point did that supervisor say they were only refunding $695 of the $1,284 we had to pay to fix it. I received the check for $695 and called two more times. I have been told to wait 24 hours for a call back and then again to wait 6-8 business days to see IF the rest of my reimbursement will be approved by some backend office.

Had I known I would not be reimbursed for the full amount, I would have never had it repaired and just bought a new one and had LG take this one back.

I am now waiting for someone to call me back, which won't happen. I will be calling again. I am out $589 for the repair reimbursement and over $700 worth of food. I am looking into legal action at this point, since this has been the worst customer experience I have ever received and have been forced to pay for something that is the fault of LG.

I am a B2B customer service manager for a Fortune 500 company, so I know how these processes work.

The run around I have been given should never have escalated this far and it is unacceptable.

My mother-in-law and best friend also purchased this same refrigerator, since they liked mine so much. They are now afraid the same issue will happen with theirs and I have recommended trying to return theirs and getting a different brand.

I talk today to Porsche from the elite presidential team at LG electronics and she basically laughed in my face and told me they weren't going to help me at all, because I was outside of their 5 year window, For a compressor on one of their refrigerators, that they know it is bad, and they're just hoping that suckers like me will buy their products. You would think that a company that makes billions of dollars a year would help out one of their loyal customers that has over $10,000 worth of appliances from LG in their home.

Motor fail after 18 months cost $550

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
LG Electronics - Motor fail after 18 months cost $550

My LG dishwasher is only 18 months old. The main motor failed - no problem with 10 year warranty.

Not so fast, the motor fail caused the motor wiring harness to burn up. Called LG service and was terrible service experience, so i called their authorized local service provided D&T Appliance. They were awesome. The service tech told me that the motor was covered under warranty but not the harness, which cost more than the motor.

He suggested that I make a case to LG - which I did. After several chat sessions with LG (also not a great experience) they said no coverage on the harness even though it was damaged by the motor fail.

Cost more than half the price of the dishwasher to get the repair done. I will never buy an LG appliance again - poor warranty and poor customer service experience.

LG: LIFE'S GARBAGE

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
LG Electronics - LG: LIFE'S GARBAGE

I'm not sure which is the worst, the customer service or the quality of products they sell.

DO NOT PURCHASE A REFRIGERATOR WITH THIS COMPANY.

LG is currently selling items that they are aware are defective. After two short years my refrigerator died without warning.

LG provided me a list of specialists in my area in order to have a warranty repair done.

Four out of the five Companies refused the claim (apparently LG does not pay them when the work is done). There is currently another class action lawsuit pending against LG for the same compressor and computer issues that they have known about for years.

It seems deceptive and fraudulent for them to continue taking money from the public, bragging about their reliability - meanwhile knowing that at any given moment their compressors will die on virtually new items.

I writing to you to let you know that we have an LG refrigerator modelLSXS26366S/02 since 2018. It stopped working about 2 weeks ago.

We tried all trouble shooting listed on owners manuals and also any U Tube video trouble shooting tips and no luck. We bought it through Best Buy and at the time we bought a 3 year warranty obviously is expired. We found out that our compressor in our model is free of charge. But even though with that cost off of the repair estimate my Royal Appliance Parts and Service, Inc the total for the repair would be $1,359.45 : ridiculous!

Why? Why so expensive. The reviews I read for our refrigerator are all bad. How we were supposed to know if it was going to be a bad appliance if it was new at the time!

Why the quality is so bad on any LG brand and on top of that you dont control the prices of the parts or repairs so customers already with such situations have it fix and move on with life. Our refrigerator is in great shape, like new. It mind blowing the fact that now we will end up purchasing a new refrigerator because of the costs of our old one is like the price of a new one.

This is upsetting and disappointing to many customers that sacrificed to purchase such an expensive brand and then this happens. Can you give us an extended warranty so the repair would be maybe $300.00- $500.00 instead of $1,359.45?

View full review

User's recommendation: Our refrigerator it looks like new outside and inside, but it is way expensive to repair it. What a shame on LG letting it happening like this for many customers. If a customer pays for the warranty to find out in detail how much covers and how much ends up paying out of pocket. And to always check the reviews from these products. How could it be the word in the street nowadays that only LG refrigerators have a short life and so expensive. In my opinion off we don’t get half way of the money to help us repair it then buy another brand refrigerator.
