    Reminds of that video of Louis Rossmann where he says something like: if a company writes something in small print and/or on places where people won’t look, it’s because the company knows they would lose customers and damage their PR if people knew about it.

    Aside of being legal or not, if LG really wanted their customers to be aware of their BS, maybe they should have put a big ass plastic warning sticker in the front of the fridge itself, preferably holding the door/s locked or on the inside, somewhere annoying where nobody would miss it.

      These motors have been a knows issue in refrigeration for a long time now. A lot longer than just 3 or 4 years. Meanwhile I have a 15 year old fridge/freezer still going great and a full size upright deep freeze in the garage that’s like 30 years old.

      Bullshit, then I still don’t know until after I bought it, took delivery, and “agreed to” whatever they decide to post there

      It should need to be visible on the sales demo, and the online listing, so I do have an opportunity to look for an alternative
