Sears and LG Electronics announce Recall to repair approximately 20,000 Refrigerators

On June 29th, Sears Roebuck and Company of Hoffman Estates, Illinois and LG Electronics of Lincolnshire, Illinois, in conjunction with the Federal Government, announced the recall of approximately 20,000 LG and Kenmore Elite® Trio™ Three door refrigerators.

According to the recall notice, LG has received 82 reports of incidents involving a condenser fan motor failure due to this problem, specifically described as condenser arcing and smoking. There has been smoke damage in a few incidents, but the companies involved state they are not aware of any injuries.

All of the recalled refrigerators are three door models with capacities ranging from 21 to 25 cubic feet, with a bottom freezer. They come in titanium, stainless steel, bisque, white or black finishes. The units have the following model and serial numbers located on the data plate inside the fresh food section of the refrigerator door:

We bought all new Kenmore appliances July 5, 2017 from Sears. Apparently we bought LG and they know that these refrigerator have faulty compressors.

We spent over $7000. The refrigerator was about $2700, so you expect the refrigerator to last more than 6 1/2 years. We have already been told by a local service repair guy that the compressor is the issue and it’s covered under warranty.

Lost a lot of good and my husband is insulin dependent, so I have a small amount of food and insulin is mini frig. Sears repair service, which is probably in another country, provides a service time 8am-5pm, so you wait and wait….The technician sent me a text at 12:48pm stating, I’m on my way. I was able to track him and he was about 15 minutes from my house. 2 hours later I texted asking where are you? Are you lost? Tracking him, I could see he’s now at least an hour from my house, totally in the wrong directions. 30minutes later, he cancelled by service via text.

I’ve talked to multiple people in the last hour and they have no idea why he cancelled. This is unacceptable that the technician can’t at least call the numbers that were provided and explain what happen.

Please include me in the class action lawsuit. BTW after reading these comments, I now understand why the dishwasher leaks all over the floor, every time it’s ran it.

I too purchased a Sears Kenmore 4 door fridge/freezer
Model 795.72495.611 Serial# 706TRMF1V067
We had to have the compressor replaced after losing most of the food. We purchased another cheaper fridge to make sure we had something we could depend on. Repair was about $900. In door ice maker works when it feels like it
Bought a countertop ice maker that was relatively inexpensive again some to fall back on. Sworn by Kenmore in past but an expensive appliance fail like this has changed my mind
Please include me in details unfolding ,include me in list of disgruntled customers & hopefully recover losses.

Like many other complaints, My Kenmore Elite purchased in 2018 from Sears compressor quit working Jan 2024. The tech came in for five minutes and said it was the compressor, I believe it was a 99 dollar charge for that. Lost approx $1000$ food. Unless your buying a craftsman tool, not sure if I would trust Sears or Kenmore definitely not their refrigerators.

I have had issues with the compressor of my 2019 LG refrigerator too. There is a new class action right now and I found the contact info for the attorneys through a story NBC did recently. In case anyone else wants to get in touch with them to see if they qualify: Beverly Hills Trial Attorneys (310) 858-5567. The attorney I spoke to is Nilofar Nouri and her email is nilofar@bhtrialattorneys.com

Purchased a Sears Kenmore elite refrigerator and one week outside the warranty. The compressor quit working. Had a repair man in and replace the compressor. It’s been a year and a half and now it’s no longer cooling nor is it freezing this refrigerator has been nothing but trouble since the day I got it, I have always purchased Kenmore because they stand behind their products and they’re washing machines lasted forever. Now everything they make appears to be garbage would love to join the class action suit if possible.

Purchased Kenmore Elite 3 door with Ice maker about 1.5 year ago same scenario as info above from Lowes, I'd say maybe first 6 months seemed OK operating or working properly, uneven cooling icemaker sporadically working,bottom freezer barely cooling properly .At the time had replaced Samsung fridge to find out that it stopped working due to just freezing upwas all ready 8 years old it self so we unplugged to replace with Kenmore crap due to only available at time paid way more then we typically would spend on apliance to get us through. A Few weeks later plugged back in Samsung it at thawed and started working. So now that is refrigerator we depend on and is been in service working strong chills great just don't over fill them . Luckily we have that one to get us through for now no longer a fan of sears,paid way to much 1400 more dollars over price of Samsung Refrigerator there needs to be a compensation for all the loss of food and purchase of the crap appliances there selling the consumers are being taken advantage by these companies with over priced appliances that fail just past a year to sucker you into a five year plan that will consume half the cost of appliance to fix from service guy labor and parts. And what do you do after 5yr plan have to purchase more warranty when at that point will parts be available? Had purchased pair of Samsung Washer dryer high-end capacity pair both lasted less then a year to year and a half once again to pull out old replaced appliance to get us through what a joke, luckily had purchased extra warranty ,appliances were fixed through Lowes that went fine but took some time a couple visits to get both fixed which was less then 30 minutes in and out twice when Bill made available was close to a 1000 dollars on warranty. More then half the cost for initial purchase price. Will be lucky if both will make it another year under typical use. I ve been fortunate to have ability to move and reconnect appliances for some people that are elderly or unable to do so that have to pay somebody for hookup or removal it all extra work. Use to be able to put appliance in place and be good for 10 years or more back in the day 15 years plus maybe a good cleaning around them,what a waste on landfills and recycling this junk were being sold these days. Will be pursuing action against Kenmore Sears to get this taken care of on this Lemon we were sold it's not rocket science on how these refrigerators work there designed to fail to make extra profit ,they claim to be top of the line Elite well if that's what they claim better uphold to there branding.

I purchased a Kenmore Elite model # 795.73133411 in 2018 (it is now 2023). I noticed that water was leaking out of the ice dispenser. Then the very next day, when I opened the bottom freezer door, I realized it was not freezing. I called Sears and they gave me the same information as the other commentors. It seems that there are not happy resolutions with others. I lost a boat load of food and had to dispose of it. I don't trust Sears/their LG compressor and I won't be blackmailed into purchasing a service warranty. I would like to be included into the class action lawsuit.

Our Kenmore Elite just went out after 5 years. Not fixable

I bought a Kenmore Elite Model #795.7313 refrigerator/freezer serial #606MRXX1M506 on 9/24/16. It stopped cooling several days ago. Last night a repairman declared the compressor defective, charging us $80 for a service call. He advised of the history of LG compressor problems and of the pending class action lawsuit. He also advised that calling the Sears repair service probably would not timely fix the problem, if at all. In the meantime, obtain a replacement refrigerator/freezer. Oh yeah, the door's water and ice maker/dispenser stopped working several years ago. Please add me to the class action lawsuit.

I bought a Kenmore elite in 2020 and this year the compressor went out.. I Sears for a technician and pay for all the parts and services to be rendered. That was back in July 20, 2023. And up to this date, the parts never came except for one small valve . The most important part, the compressor never arrived, and I cannot get my money back.. I am stuck with a broken refrigerator that I paid over $2000 and purchased service and parts for $1142. When I call for help, no one can direct me to the right person or they are closed because they are located in eastern standard time..

I purchased Kenmore Elite frigerator/freezer in 2019 from Sears(manufacture date 04-2018). Worked good for 2 years or so. We noticed little things like not making much ice and certain things in freezer not holding as frozen food should. This was all so intermitant that you think its ok and than not. In late 2022 we lost freezer full of food. Frig seemed ok. After checking everything we could and the fact that it started freezing and making ice again we restocked freezer. We kept a close eye on freezer and it seemed ok but ice maker just wasn't producing much ice. Early 2023 we noticed some frozen food was thawing and some by touch seemed frozen. After losing another bunch of food in freezer we started using our old frig in garage that is many years old but works great. We had service man out 02/23/2023. He found compressor bad and told us about the failures ocurring due to LG compressors. He replaced compressor free but charged us labor and some other parts needed when replacing compressor. Suggested and sold us a Sears Home Warranty. Within 1 month ice maker quit and within a few months we noticed food starting to thaw and this happened right about the same time we started getting food poisoning. I canceled the warranty we purchased and are just using our old frig. Paid alot of money for nice Kenmore frig that is sitting here looking good but can't be trusted. I will join any lawsuit to recover my costs regarding this purchase. People could die from food poisoning and they continued to use these bad compressors for years knowing they would fail in a few years. The way they fail causes food to thaw and refreeze and this is why people get sick. A lawsuit for mass replacing of these bad compressors (LG) and any other parts needed has to be done. It is for the safety of the public.

My Kenmore refrigerator apparently has a defective lg compressor because my cooling/freeing went out this week.
I am not happy that Kenmore and Lg companies tell me I have no recourse because the 2021 date has expired.

There are more of these appliances out there! Can not anything be done? My refrigerator was only 5 1/2 years old.

I trusted Kenmore but never again and never Lg refrigerators again!!!

Same story as all the above Kenmore Elite. $2700. Fridge with warranty and $491.00 food loss. No repair man will touch as soon as you give Model number! Now pay for another refrigerator?? Sears needs to repay for loss!

We purchased the Kenmore Pro 3 door Model # 795.79993.510 refrigerator in 2016 from Sears. It stopped cooling last week unexpectedly and resulted in the loss of a refrigerator and freezer full of food. Repair technician came out today for the sum of $139 to tell us the compressor was bad and that the freezer compressor wasn’t even available anymore. The quote to repair partially came to almost $2000. We paid more than this for the fridge 7 years ago.
In light of the fact that these appliances are faulty, Sears/LG should be held responsible for repairs or better yet refund or replacement. Please add us to this action suit. This fridge has been nothing but problem after problem.

I purchased an LG refrigerator in August 2022 and I have come home to it not cooling. I unplugged it for a few minutes and plug it back in and it starts cooling again. However, I should not need to keep doing this for a new refrigerator to continue to cool. the model #LGAPL-LRSXS2706S REFER 27.2 CUFT SXS. My previous refrigerator was an LG as well. I had the same situation towards the end.

I purchased a Kenmore 795.72495.610 in November 2016. It's the French Door model with the two drawers at the bottom. The ice maker started malfunctioning and the food in the freezer started thawing out in June 2023 and the problem is still going on in August. Sears has been to my house six times. They replaced the ice maker and the compressor. Water leaked onto the floor several times and I had to get it up. A sheet of ice formed on the bottom of the freezer. Each time a technician comes out, they work on it and swear it's fixed, it works for a few days, then it quits working again. Then, I call back and Sears sends a new person back. I'm waiting for them to return next week, for the seventh time. The technicians tell me it's the compressor and that they have to continually replace them for customers on a daily basis. One told me don't buy any refrigerator that has any extra's that require it to have a computer, because it will have problems. Several people have talked about how long appliances used to last. Manufacturers are not building them to last on purpose because they make more money and they want people to accept it. It might not be so bad if they lowered the prices; however, they raised the prices. These refrigerators cost thousands of dollars and are lasting less than half of the time. They're doing the same thing with air conditioners, too. I think consumers need to hold these manufacturers accountable. Is there still a class action suit? I saw where the first one was dismissed. Was there another one started? If so, I am interested in joining.

Bought Kenmore elite 4 appliances. Microwave went after a year. Now refrigerator purchased 2017. Model 795.73157.610. Compressor. Coolant soaked into flooring. Food in refrigerator and freezer totally lost. I would like to join law suit.

We purchased a Kenmore Elite model 795 74027.610 in May 2016. The compressor went out 3 weeks ago today. After getting no satisfaction on warranty, we purchased the compressor ourselves. It is supposed to be delivered today. Our homeowners insurance is helping with the cost, but would like to repair instead of replace if possible. We are hoping that this is the only issue. Please add us to the class action suit against Sears. Sears should be held responsible for letting people waste well over two thousand dollars on a product that lasts 6 years, and for some people way less time.

This is a different comment/complaint.My Landlord and I bought a LG refrigerator back in February 2023.I have had my foot hit by the lower model style door.The front of the fridge does not have the filter vent in the front therefore it is lower to the floor.I just hit my toe again today July 7 ,2023.I want to let everyone know if they are having the same issue,before someone gets really injured.

My Kenmore refrigerator/bottom freezer just stop working. It has an LG compressor. I had a repairman to check my refrigerator and was told the compressor was going bad. When I called Sears I was referred to LG; I called LG and I was referred back to Sears. My refrigerator is not 10 years old and I thought the compressor had a 10 year warranty. If there was a recall on these compressors why isn't a contact number available? Sears should be held responsible for these repairs as Sears is the seller as well as LG is the manufacture.

Kenmore Elite MLF62184471 MFG. BY LG stopped working. Like others, I would like to be a member of the Class Action Suit against Sears for the faulty Sears Kenmore Elite French Door Refrigerator/Freezer that I purchased in 2015. The compressor was stated that it failed, resulting in food loss and personal suffering. After many attempts to fix it by their service company A&E it was determined that it was not repairable in Dec. of 2022. We suffered 7 years with this unit not working properly.

Kenmore Elite french door model 795.71329.413 installed in July 2018 and stopped cooling/freezing June 2023. Had independent technician out and he said "sealed system" failed. Just labor will be more then $800 even if I am able to get new part for free. Called customer service which was not helpful at all.. Apparently part is still under warranty but Kenmore/Sears wanted me to pay $150 for their technician to do diagnostics and then that would be waived IF I decide to repair unit. Just ridicilous and really bad customer service... Kenmore, LG nor Sears do not stand behind their product.

Purchase our LG refrigerator june 10th 2021. This year June 03rd 2023 the refrigerator stopped cooling. Lost all our food. Called for service, nobody wants to repair LG products. I called LG directly, was told it's under warranty and a service representative would call us back. 3 days later, i called LG to find out that a service representative would not be available to talk to me or schedule a date for the repairs maybe June 7th 2023. Got a call on June 5th 2023. An LG representative called and asked if i knew what was wrong. I told him i finally found a repair service to come out and discoved the compressor os out. June7th 2023 unannounced, 9am an LG tech showed up. He checked the refrigerator and said the computer board is no good and could test the compressor. He would order the parts and possibly be back sometime on Monday June 19th 2023. Very disappointing and unprofessional. We will see what happens tomorrow. Will i get paid for the lose of food??? Will i get paid back for havingva service tech trouble shoot the problem? Why did i pay so much for a product that has a huge list of problems.

Kenmore Elite (LG) 795.72489.410 purchased July 2015 had compressor go out 2 times within first year. These were backed up by Sears. Just after the warranty went out, it went out again but at the time Seats was still in business in my area so I had to pay them to repair. Fast forward to June/July 2022 compressor went out again. Replaced out of pocket. Now, June 2023, compressor is going out again. Nothing but trouble!

Lg refrigerator compressor gave out. After 6 years

Bought my Kenmore back in 2018. Thankfully I bought it at the Sears outlet so it wasnt as much as some of you have paid. However it still should work at this point. Same issue not keeping food cold Freezer reads 25 degrees according to service guy and he immediately identified the compressor as being the problem. Can we please get another lawsuit against them. We see this is a problem for many for many years. At the very least they should offer an extended warranty, or pay out the cost to replace and fix the compressor ($1100 repair quote)which in my case is more than what i paid for the fridge. Unfortunately i cannot wait and will have to buy a new fridge. Frigidaire will be it!

I bought my LG LMXS28626D 3 doors refrigerator from Costco at 3/26/2018, now is not working due to a dead compressor, LG warranty only cover for part and not cover for labor. No local tech want to repair for LG refrigerator. The tech told me not worth to repair it. they will break again later. and the labor will $500 -$700. and did not buy LG or Samsung brand, they have the same issues.
Called Sears Home Service for repair, they did not tell you that how much will cost the labor to replace the compressor, they just told you to schedule a Diagnostic that they will charge you a fee for $99.
I will buy a new refrigerator, maybe GE, Kitchenaid or Whirlpool.

Had a kenmore LG side by side door in door. After a year and a half the compressor failed. Sears sent out a repair person who said it wasn’t worth fixing and told me I would get the same poor compressor, but have to pay for the service. Since he said it wasn’t worth it I had to purchase a new fridge. Another LG. WiFi won’t reconnect, craft ice only worked once. This will be my last LG.

We just had the compressor replaced on our frig purchased in 2018. LG cerified service/repair man replaced it and no out of pocket cost whatsoever. Was told LG installed faulty compressors and had gave a 5 year parts & labor warranty and a 10 year parts only coverage. We just received a solicitation from LG to extend our waranty 2 or 3 years at $395 & $540 respectively. Offer expires August 14, 2023 and there is a 30 day waiting period before coverage will begin, which will be added back to the end of the warranty period. We are considering the offer at time of this writing. It appears from the reviews that we should take advantage of the offer?

Just Another Victim of the LG Compressor Disaster! I bought a TOP OF THE LINE Kenmore Elite 4,500.00 unit back in 06/2019 With the Master Protection Plan from Sears! The Compressor Went Just Last week and I called LG and LG told Me To Call Kenmore and Kenmore Told me To Call Sears and Sears Told me to Call Kenmore So After loosing $500 in Lost Food It Seems Nobody Wants to take Responsibility But Sears Sent a Technician over to Diagnose My Refrigerator that I had already Diagnosed with the Code 6 flashing LED so He Came To Verify That the Compressor, Filter Dryer and Condenser and Service Valve and Some Tube thing Needs to be Replaced With Yet another Defective Universal Compressor and The Control Board needs to be Updated And To make me feel good about the repair Cost It is Warrantee for a 90 Days that it will Keep my Food Cold for at least 90 days! This Is Not a matter of Warrantees, Every LG compressor is failing after 3 -5 years and the Universal Compressors are now starting to fail as well! If I wanted an LG Refrigerator I would have Purchased an LG Refrigerator! When I Buy a $100,000.00 Cadillac Should I look under the Hood to be Sure It Doesn't Have an LG Engine? My Fridge has been Out of Service For A week and the parts have been delivered so the Guy will Come Put them in today maybe So Not Only the Repair Cost and Lost Food missed 3 days of Work for a Junk Compressor that won't last more than another 3 years If THAT!
My Mom Has a 40 year Old Frigidaire that still works perfect that cost $200 But a 4,500 Kenmore/LG can't keep food Cold over 4 years? Now get this Not Only are they Selling Parts and Labor but they want to sell you Service Contracts to Cover the Junk they Install to Repair the Junk they took out! It's Criminal! Watch Youtube Videos Of Service Technicians Replacing one after another LG Compressor! The Last Guy that came had replaced 3 Defective LG compressors that day on his way to My Defective LG compressor! If You Bought an LG fridge They Cover the Unit for 5 years but if you bought a Kenmore it's only ONE year coverage! IT LOOKS LIKE I BOUGHT AN LG COMPRESSOR NOT A KENMORE! LG= LIFES GOOD! Not It's Not Good! It Couldn't Suck more!

We brought a Kenmore Elite Refrigerator from Sears June of 2018. It stopped cooling in 2021 but we were able to get it working again. Fast forward to March 5, 2023 it stopped cooling again. Sears repairman are backed up. Call someone else and no one wants to touch it. Got one person to come out and it will cost $1500.00 to fix it but there’s no guarantee that it would work and I still would have to pay. This is ridiculous, so I’m joining the lawsuit to recover some of the cost for loss of food we threw away both times that it stopped cooling and the money I paid for this beautiful useless refrigerator. My model number is 795.73167.610 and the serial number is 804KR00259 and the compressor number is LG FLB075LBNA and this number is next to it DMC2320182091409. I’m sorry to learn that so many people are having the trouble with their beautiful Kenmore Elite Refrigerator as I have experienced.

I purchased Kenmore Elite Bottom Freezer Fridge model 795.74027.610, in April 2017, and its compressor went bad last week. Repair would over $700, even with compressor part replacement covered. That’s ridiculous to me, please add me.

My model 795just stopped working None of the local repair dealers even want to work on it They all say that Sears repair people will have to do it The repairman that came out charged a total of $1489 put in a new compressor which he said LG would pay for I apparently needed a condenser and some other parts The labor was about one thousand dollars for three hours.I had to make a decision to either repair it or junk the refrigerator. I didn't have time to shop all over for a black model.
The chargers are a total rip off but I had to repair it It will probably break again vut we are downsizing hour house so i won't be around to worry about it.

Our Kenmore Elite French Door Bottom freezer compressor fail on February 14, 2023. We purchased this refrigerator in 2019. It is model no. 795.73165.610 but has the LG compressor. We called service dept. in India and they offered us $500 to get it repaired. However, when we talked to our Appliance Repair person he advised us that this refrigerator is part of a class action lawsuit and he doesn't know anyone in our area who can service them. And if we could find anyone the cost would probably run over $1000. I saw that the original lawsuit was settled in 2021 with LG. Now what?

Like thousands of others, I would like to be a member of the Class Action Suit against Sears for the faulty Sears Kenmore Elite French Door Refrigerator/Freezer that I purchased in 2017. The compressor failed, resulting in food loss and personal suffering. After MONTHS, Sears Service installed a replacement compressor. The part was $500 and the labor, which I had to pay, was $500. Now the compressor has failed AGAIN.

Same story here. I purchased the Kenmore Elite 3 door refrigerator in January 2017 in good faith that it would last a long time. It recently stopped cooling, resulting in the loss of a refrigerator and freezer full of food.
In light of the fact that these appliances are faulty, Sears/LG should be held responsible for repairs or better yet refund or replacement.

I've heard there are just a couple manufacturing facilities that make the parts for almost all the appliance companies, so it was confusing to me to know for sure when we bought our new house, with all LG appliances, whether we should walk away from the sale or go with it. Thank God we have a home warranty! In the past 2 years, we have had the refrigerator worked on twice, the oven worked on and the dishwasher! Good Lord, people RUN! They make em PRETTY and FANCY looking like the high ticket appliances, but they are JUNK!. Today, my 'fixed' LG refrigerator is set at the coldest settings it has avaliable and I have thermometers in each compartment, the top fridge, set at 34° is actually 42°, the middle drawer is set at 29° and is really 35°, and the bottom freezer is set at -6 and is actually at 22°. I have thrown more food away in the past year, limping this thing along. We are saving for new appliances, it's like trying to save for an old used car. It will be several thousand dollars to replace them. They got my money, for falsely pushing products that claim ( and are priced in line with) to be equal to or superior to the others lined up next to them in the store. They should be segregated to their own spot and labeled, ' cheap, disposable and if you need it to look good but don't care if it lasts'.

My Kenmore Elite Refrigerator stopped cooling on 12/31/22. I bought it in 2017. I found out from Sears Home Appliance guy that it is the compressor. Sears will only cover the cost of the compressor and not the labor, etc. I was not made aware of the recall and was told by the Salesperson when I bought it that it did not have a faulty Compressor. Trying to recoup the cost paid for labor and food lost.

I have Kenmore Elite French Door fridge model 795.74025.412, bought 9/10/2017, and on 12/25/2022, the compressor has gone bad. Repair would over $800, even with compressor part replacement covered. That’s ridiculous to me. Is this model part of lawsuit? If so, please add me.

kenmore ELITE model 795.72053.117 purchased at Sears Store. Compressor Died after 5 years of use. Compressor is LG model 72053 301B0434. I am trying to contact the few available Sears Repair Store near my home and they ask for $ 129 Diagnostic Fee.

I would like to go on record with the hundreds maybe thousands of other people who purchased a Kenmore elite refrigerator 795.73167.610. I purchased it on July 4 of 2018 and it just stopped working two days ago. Was given the date for Sears to come look at it of January 4, 2023. What a joke. Looks like we are screwed based upon all of the other complaints I just read. Everything stopped on my unit and it does not look like LG or Kenmore or Sears are going to do a thing about it. What a disaster. Somebody should be held accountable as many people have said. I would like my money back for this refrigerator as well. I have all the receipts. Would be happy to join a class action lawsuit as I have decided to go out and purchase a new refrigerator.

Same story here. Bought the kemore elite model 795.73157.610. Serial # 709kr00501. Used it 3 years. Compressor went out. Talked to 5 different repair men. All said same thing, going to cost 600 to 800 for repairs. Expect to repair again in about 2 years. I received the same answer from the Sears repair service. And they were even more money to fix with no answer as to how long it would be till they were able to work on it. Bottom line, was told be better off to buy a new different brand fridge.i personally don't have thousands of dollars to go buy another one. Would like to know what if anything is being done about this??? Sears should be held responsible for all costs to repair this fridge. Or replace it. Can't believe they are getting away with this issue.

Purchased Kenmore elite 795.74033.410 with extended warranty. Because sears left Canada I had to pay for repairs. Now not quite 3 years later it has stopped cooling again. Would certainly like compensation not only for repairs, but for all the lost food

We bought our refrigerator (Kenmore) sometime in 2018/2019 after only having it for a year we needed a repair. Another year later and we are having the same issue. This was all right before Thanksgiving. I had to buy a new fridge because they couldnt get a repair guy out until December and I had to host Thanksgiving. It has all been a huge nightmare. My repair guy told me there was a civil lawsuit going on. How do I get added to the list?

Just learning about Kenmore/LG refrigerators. Bought mine in Feb 2018, Kenmore Elite 795.7248. 2,800 dollars. First ever large purchase from Sears and financed on first credit card. 36mo to pay off. 4mo ago water stopped dispensing, thought it was clogged. Nope, didn't have $ to get fixed. Then ice maker went out a month later. Still couldn't figure it out. My model has a diagnostics feature but when I called Sears to have them diagnose over the phone as it's stated in the manual, I was told "I'm sorry, but we are not offering that at this time" and it was going to be 150 for diagnostic and if I didn't have them repair it then I would lose the 150 but if I had them do repair the 150 would go towards labor and parts. I said no way, I PAID for that feature and how could they tell me sorry? I then asked that they send someone out for no charge to "diagnose" and they would not, and didn't care that I PAID FOR THAT FEATURE!! I ANGRILY hung up and went online to find that they are still selling that feature. I called back and asked to speak to "higher up" and was transferred 6 times and the last response was, we are Sears, this is a Kenmore issue. So, I asked for a number for Kenmore and the number took me right back to Sears service. Rrrfgghh, so I found a Kenmore customer support email, and sent them an email letting them know that they are falsely advertising and that they sold me a "fake feature" and they are not honoring what they sold me etc and are still lying to consumers. Then on Thanksgiving morning 3days later , opened up my fridge and it was warm and the freezer was just "cool". I was in tears. I didn't call Sears back and still no response from Kenmore. Monday, Nov 28th called several repair men and then found out the model was actually an LG "by Kenmore". Also was told it was probably the compressor as guessing now that they are aware of the issues re; these fridges. I found someone to come out for $65 and he said the control board was faulty which was the cause of the water and ice dispenser not working and then it lead to the wiring to the compressor. The compressor is supposedly still running but the fridge and freezer not the right temperature . Gonna be 480 for part and labor but everything I'm reading I shouldn't bother spending the money if the compressor is going to go anyway!!?? Wow, I am distraught. I cannot afford the repair or a new fridge and 2,800 down the drain apparently! I would love to join in the future lawsuit!!

Same issue as the hundreds have expressed prior to my comment. My Kenmore Elite 3 door with freezer on bottom with model # starting with 795 was inherited when I purchased my home. The seller bought in 2014 and compressor is still under warranty. My issue is the machine will not stop running and its making a grinding noise. Sears comes out, looks at it, and looks at me and said it was garbage and to start looking for a new fridge. Mind you he did nothing and Sears or whoever took my credit card over seas in order to even get him to come out, charged me $300. For nothing! Worse encounter appliance wise I have ever been a part of. If there is a lawsuit please sign me up, as I know in my heart I will not be compensated. Maybe if I was a Senators son!!

i purchased a LG double door refrigerator at Home Depot. I also missed the deadline for the lawsuit. My model number does come up as being one of the recall models. If LG produced a product that I purchased for thousands of dollars, why arent they repairing them?

My Kenmore Elite refrigerator was purchased in 2015.
I've had the compressor blow out 3 times and now can not get it to work at all.
I also have the Kenmore appliance insurance and they refuse to pay for a new one. I got screwed. I was never told about the recall.
I am not paying the monthly fee and canceling my insurance because it is worthless.

We purchased a Kenmore Elite Refrigerator model #795.73157.610 right after we bought it. The compressor motor was very loud. We were concerned and called a repairman out. It was under warrantee with Sears. He said that's just the way they sound. Well now it has stopped working and we can't even find anyone to come out and service it since it's a Sears Kenmore Elite! So disappointed in this product!

Bought Kenmore Elite Model # 79551833412 from Sears Store. Haven't owned more than 5 years. Compressor went. Told by three different repairman at least 1500.00 job and not worth repairing, The equivalent refrigerator costs 3,500. I thought this would last my family at least 10 years but only 5. Plus I lost 250.00 worth of food. Not expectable. Anything we can do about this?

Looks like another class action lawsuit is needed for these Kenmore refrigerators.
We bought Kenmore 795.72595.710 in June 2018; on October 21, 2022 the unit stopped cooling! I called Kenmore Customer Care. I have to pay $119 for them to come look at it. This will be applied to my repairs if I accept the estimate. I read that repairs can range from $500-$1,000. This is in addition to all of the food I had to throw away. I spoke with a local repair company and he said Kenmore has sold approx. 1 million units that are bad. Are they not taking ownership of this and making it right?!? Sears/Kenmore & LG need to be held accountable for knowingly selling defective equipment.

I purchased model number 795 74025 412 on October 3rd 2018, for $2000. The compressor was confirmed by an independent repair man as needing to be replaced at the cost of nearly $1200, today, October 21, 2022. I called Sears repairs, the soonest they could get a repair person out was November 17, 2022, almost a month wait. The local repair man said the replacement compressor would most likely fail in 4 years or less, and recommended I buy a new refrigerator.

I would like to be compensated.

Entirely unbelievable! Purchased the Kenmore elite refrigerator
model 795.73157.610 with a Kenmore elite dishwasher, microwave and Kenmore range 11/2016.
Microwave broke down soon after 1d year warranty (not included in the 5 year warranty. Just went and bought a different brand to replace.
June 2019 the compressor went out on the refrigerator. Waited 2 weeks for an appointment. Bought the 5 year warranty on refrigerator and dishwasher purchases. Therefore compressor replacement not costing $ but allot of aggravation with contacts and wait for appointment. Here we are in September 2022 and again the compressor has gone out. Upon calling for service, I was told the compressor was still under warranty. When the tech came out, they told me no warranty in effect as the warranty expired in 11/2021 when the 5 year warranty expired! Quote for repair around $985. If I bought the warranty for a year at $50.00 per month they would reduce the cost by $150.00. Additionally, a $75.000 deductible for each service call. I was very frustrated and took the bait for the warranty. Upon receiving a confirmation email, it quoted service calls deductibles were $100.00! More perturbed! Called to complain and see if something could be done hit a brick wall.
Two days after compressor installed, it has gone down after a trip to Sam's to replenish food lost from this compressor episode! More lost food. Called this last Thursday, 9/22/22 and have an appointment for this Thursday, 9/30! I to do not understand why this has been allowed for Sears to sell the refrigerator with a defective compressor for so many years.
I had numerous service calls for the dishwasher and spoke to an agent regarding the dishwasher being a lemon as many issues repeatedly broke down and was given a pro-rated dollar amount that was ridiculously low for how much I paid for the dishwasher and figured I'd go through the frustration while the warranty was in effect.
I planned to re-purchase new appliances should these break down however, upon the rep telling me the compressor was still under warranty upon calling, I went ahead with the service call and got a sock it to me! I'm searching the web for any class action suits that still may be going on as I was informed by the Sears Associate that there was one. So far, I've only found the one that was already done and over with. It's hard with this current economy and losing allot from my retirement account to now go out and buy new appliances but the price Sears is charging to install a defective piece of equipment will force me to look for something else if this happens again. My son-in-law just purchased a used refrigerator for $400.00 that looks great and has been going strong in his garage for 4 months during extreme over 100 degree daily weather.
Calling for service is ridiculous as well. I wanted to speak with a manager and was shuffled 6 times for a call period of over an hour. Most reps cannot speak clear English if a word had more than 4 letters and asking to repeat and clarify consistently was maddening! And, yes, how did they keep this so quiet and why weren't customers notified of class action lawsuits. Been a Kenmore appliance buyer for many years. I agree with you Justin (previous post) and all other commentors. Awful service and fraudulent practices by Sears. Perhaps contributing to them no longer in business.

We also had to have the compressor replaced on our Kenmore Elite refrigerator, Model #79574025412. We purchased this item from Sears 5/2017. We had to pay $630 for the labor to have it replaced. I would like to be included in a suit against Sears/LG. This item should have been recalled. I was told by the repairman that the same compressor is being used for replacement so I shouldn't be surprised if it doesn't last.

Looks like another class action lawsuit is needed for these Kenmore refrigerators (if there is no ongoing lawsuit currently).
We bought Kenmore 795.72595.710 in November 2018; on August 7, 2022 the unit stopped cooling! Called the Sears repair line and found out August 30th was the earliest they could have a service technician come to diagnose the problem (over 3 weeks later with no refrigerator/freezer). We lost a great deal of expensive food from the refrigerator & freezer.
When the technician finally came out as soon as he looked at the unit he said "Here we go with another one". He said ours was the third of the same refrigerator model that he examined that day & found our's. like the other two, had a failed compressor. The quote to fix was almost $1400 and the replacement would be the same model compressor that just failed in under 4 years. compressor. AI called a local repair shop for a second quote & was told the compressor should have a 10 yr. warranty (however ours it turns out was for just 1 year). I've owned several refrigerators in the past and never had one fail in less than 20 years. I made many, many calls to Sears and Kenmore and all they could say was "Sorry". I was furious as I looked into this to find out Sears/Kenmore & LG are aware of the premature compressor failures and apparently the only action they have taken is to shorten their warranty to protect themselves and take advantage of customers that would never purchase the product if they had any awareness of the known/identified compressor failures. Sears/Kenmore & LG need to be held accountable for knowingly selling defective equipment.

SAME STORY! Bought brand new $3200 Kenmore Elite fridge in 2017 (on 3rd compressor) $750-$1000 for each of the 3 repairs (Using the same faulty compressor all 3 times!) and $100s of dollars of food each of the 3 times this compressor went out! The money is one thing and the stress, frustration this has been causing our family is another! These LG and Sears executives are knowingly selling people faulty fridges and then making more money by selling them more faulty parts! They apparently just settled a lawsuit just like this one and STILL DOING THIS TO PEOPLE!?

PLEASE ADD ME TO THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT HERE! I am on 3rd LG compressor since I bought BRAND NEW in 2015 the Kenmore Elite model # 795.74033.411.

SOMEONE PLESE MAKE THESE SHYSTERS PAY FOR THIS!

We need another lawsuit but apparently LG has filed bankruptcy. Isn't that convenient. I will never buy from Sears again. Our refrigerator is 3 years old and they said fortunately the compressor is covered but labor is $650! That is UNACCEPTABLE! I should not have to pay to fix something you should have recalled Sears! Not to mention tech said it would be over a month before they could come back to replace it.

Building up behind d the ice maker on the cols and around the evaporate fan and motor. Every 2 weeks it has to be taken apart and defrosted. I see on you tube many people with the same problem this uis a defect that Sears ignore.

We purchased a Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 795.74025.412 serial number 802KR01187 in 2018. I worked fine until Sept of 2022 when it stopped cooling. The repair tech said the LG compressor was shot but not worth repairing. That we should purchase a new refrigerator. The equivalent new refrigerator costs $3,300. I thought this refrigerator should last at least 10 years but we got less than 4 years service from it.

What compensation are we entitled to?

This is the second Kemore Elite French door refrigerator with freezer in the bottom Stainless Steel in 9 years to have the compressor go out. First one we thought was odd but 2 in 9 years. We replaced the first one when the compressor went out in 2019, with another Kenmore Elite French Door Refrigerator Stainless Steel. This one will cost about $1600 to replace the compressor.

9 years ago I replaced all my Kemore appliance that I had had for 25 years with new Kenmore Elites that last 4 1/2 years. Never again and I plan on telling everyone I can about the shotty appliances you produce.

My name is Dawn Radcliff.

We purchased a Kenmore Elite Refrigerator May 2018. Up until July of 2022 it was fine, then all of a sudden it stopped getting cold. We called Sears on July 22, 2022 and was told the soonest that someone could come out was September 1, 2022. I was in shock on how long it would take, and that we would be without a refrigerator for weeks. The I was able to check the reschedule link that was text to me and was so exciting to see that a sooner appointment had opened up. The technician arrived on August 5,2022. He informed us that we had a Linear Compress which had gone bad. He stated that this is a well-known issue our Kenmore Model.
The technical order the parts for us, which is covered under the 10-year manufacturer warranty. The tech said he soonest appointment to come back and replace the parts was on September 16, 2022. I was in disbelief that we had to wait until 6 weeks before our refrigerator could be fixed since it had already been weeks.
I have been checking everyday to see if a sooner appointment was available and there wasn’t, in fact the soonest now was October 2022.
On Labor Day, September 5, 2022, with one week to go before we had our refrigerator fixed, we get an automated call to say that our service repair appointment had been changed to October 25, 2022. Panicking and frustrated I call Sears to find out why they changed my appointment with now phone call to see if that was ok with us. Instead, it took me 35 minutes to even reach a live person then I was transferred 5 different times. I asked numerous times to speak to a supervisor and keep getting told someone would call me back. I said no thank you that I wanted to hold as I didn’t trust anything that they said to me. After holding for 45 mins I was hung on.
Since Kenmore says only Sears can service this part and that we can’t use another company we are being held hostage.
We had to pay almost $600 upfront for labor, we just want our refrigerator fixed. I have never had this bad of service from any company before in my life. We will never again shop at Sears knowing they treat their customers like crap.

This whole situation is unacceptable, and I am expecting an acceptable follow-up to secure a much sooner date as a part of good customer service!

We purchased a Kenmore Elite Grab-N-Go refrigerator in November 2015. We had no problems with it until January 2022. The refrigerator and freeze just stopped working. We call Sears to have a service person come out and make the repairs. What we got was a Sear what we got was a Sear's authorized service tech who came out took a look at the refrigerator diagnosed the problem and said it was the compressor. We agreed to go ahead with the repairs. We paid the service charge and then try to set up the repair date and that when we found out from the service provider they were not going to repair the refrigerator.

After doing some research on my own I come to find out our problem was not unique others have had the same problems.
We then went back to Sears and request another service person to evaluate the problem. Our thinking was the refrigerator is only 5 years old it couldn't that big of a deal to get fix. Well what we found out from the new service person was had he been able to reach us via phone while in route he could have save us some time and money. Upon arrival the service person explained us Sears knows about this problem and it is cost prohibitive to get it repaired because even if we did there are just too many issues with this model. So we paid for the service call, looked at each other and began to wonder how is this possible? Sears knowingly sells us a defective product and do little or nothing about it. How can that be? Any advice? So we are stuck with a Kenmore Elite Bottom Freezer Refrigerator Grab-N-Go Model that looks bran new but doesn't work. Hey Sears I thought you guys were better than that.

What Happened?

This is unbelievable to me. I had no idea the problem with these compressors was so bad and for so long. How did they manage to keep it so quite, So much so I bought one in 2018 and had not heard anything until mine just went out this week. I'm furious now. And how is it possible for a big named company like this to keep putting out crap they know is bad and two lawsuits from what I can see did little to nothing much for the millions of customers. Let's file another one. Any lawyers want to do this again? We should do this every year until we get a judge that holds these guys accountable.

My husband and I purchased an LG French door refrigerator January 25, 2021. It is August 31, 2022 and it is now dead. I called an appliance repair man on August 17th and he diagnosed the refrigerator was not cooling due to compressor. A long story short after multiple calls to LG, and hiring a tech that deals with LG problems daily, we are still waiting on parts for a now dead refrigerator and lost food in the process. We are spreading the word: Do not buy an LG refrigerator because it is not worth $3,000 when it does not last even 2 years and LG does not care about their customers...they only care about making the quick $$$

May 2018, I purchased a Kenmore Elite French Door Refrigerator with a lower freezer unit, model #795-74025412 (28 cu. ft.). The compressor failed August 2022. I am also stuck with a $3000.00 piece of junk. I contacted Kenmore and was given the run around resulting in more stress, disappointment, and anger. I will not ever purchase another Kenmore product.

My elderly mom purchased her Kenmore Elite model #795-75043610 in November 2018. She is widowed so her refrigerator does not get used as would a normal size household. Hers quit cooling or freezing this week August 23, 2022. Repairman told her it was compressor and said to throw it in the garbage. This kind of money is not disposable. Kenmore/ LG needs to be responsible for replacing these refrigerators.

I have model #795-72483-411, serial # 807KR00307 which is a Kenmore Elite. The refrigerator stopped cooling and I called a repair man and was told it was the compressor and thought there were additional issues as well. This was purchased about 4 or 5 years ago. The repairman said it would probably be a minimum of $1,600.00 repair bill but if repaired he thinks Imay very well have additional issues after the repair. WE lost around $700.00 worth of food in the refrigerator when it went out. I will be waiting on your response.

Please add us to you class action lawsuit! We bought Kenmore 72595 June, 2018 on August 15, 2022 my unit quit working! The water from the ice machine was all over my heard wood floors, overnight the entire freezer went off! This is how we found out that the fridge quit working. Called sears, where we purchased the unit and they didn’t have anyone available to come look at the fridge for another week! We trashed most of the food, which isn’t cheap, especially when you have hungry teenage boys in the house! And it’s sounds like it’s going to be not cheap to fix it! Also called to the local repair shops and they said we should go with Sears as they should be fixing it for free as there is a class action lawsuit going on against kenmore and LG! As far as we know the compressor has a 10 year warranty and they should be replacing it for free because I’m not paying them since the unit wasn’t cheap and after trashing so much food!! We were happy with this unit until now! Too bad that they sold defective parts with such a great refrigerator that ruins the entire experience of having a nice appliance.

I purchased a new Kenmore refrigerator in 2018 and on July 27,2022 the compressor stopped working, 2 months after our warranty expired.
Sears should compensate its customers for these issues!!!
So unhappy, I will be reaching to our TV news station who helps to solve problems with recalls and other problems issues.
I will not let this go!!!!

Purchased a Kenmore Elite refrigerator model number 795.75043.610 and date of production was May of 2017. It just now quit cooling. This is still way under the 10 year warranty on compressors. I would like action taken against LG and get refunded the appropriate amount to me so that I can fix it.

We purchased our Kenmore Elite 75043 24 cu. ft. Smart French Door Bottom-Mount Refrigerator - Stainless Steel in August 2017. In January 2019, the compressor failed. The Sears repair technician told us it was a known issue with LG Compressors. Despite it being a known issue, since we were at the 17 month mark (vs. being within the first year), we were faced with the choice of repairing the refrigerator out of pocket, or recycling it to try another refrigerator. The technician told us it would be $1000 to repair unless we signed up for the appliance warranty that would cover all the household appliances ($500). We did that, thinking that since it was a known issue with the LG compressors, and certainly they would not replace a bad compressor with a new version of another bad compressor.

Fast forward to August 2022. The compressor failed again. We had not renewed the appliance maintenance contract because when our 26 year old over the stove microwave failed, they refused to cover it, not because it was old, but because the latch that held the door closed had failed. Obviously the appliance maintenance service was a scam, so I doubt they would have covered the compressor anyway, so the $1500 I would have spent would have been sending good money after bad.

I contacted Sears and explained the situation. They agreed that having the compressor fail twice before the refrigerator was even five years old was absolutely unacceptable, however, the solution they offered was to send a technician out to diagnose the issue (at our cost). I told them I'd already had a technician diagnose the issue...it was the compressor (again). I asked what Sears was going to do to make it right for us, and was told that the only thing he could do was set an appointment to have a technician come out and diagnose and then come back to replace the compressor (our cost). Or he suggested I could buy a new refrigerator.

I am astounded at the lack of concern Sears is showing for their customers. Kenmore was always a good, solid brand of appliances, and I chose the refrigerator I did because of a long standing reputation. I don't know who made the decision to allow LG to make these appliances but in my opinion, that was a terrible decision. Given all of the comments found even here on this page, I cannot imagine how anyone with any moral compass whatsoever could not see the impact of that decision and make it right for people.

Looks like another class action lawsuit is needed for these Kenmore refrigerators (apparently shady LG parts STILL being used ! )

Shame on Sears for knowingly selling this garbage units .
Bought in July 2018, repaired in 2020 just two years after purchase ! 2 years from last repair Compressor is out again ! Quoted over $1000 to repair . Spending $1000 every two years is unacceptable !!

We purchased an LG refrigerator in November, 2018. This week I came home and found water dripping from the ice dispenser. The freezer has stopped working. We contacted LG who said the compressed would be covered under warranty. They gave us several repair companies that are authorized to make the repairs. After numerous calls, no one would touch it. One even went so far as to say they wouldn’t touch it with a 10 foot pole! We are stuck with a broken $3000 piece of junk. Please Help!

Upset & Disgusted!! The Kenmore/LG brand will no longer be a product used in ours, any family members or any friends households ANYTIME SOON!

Purchased my LG 3 door refrigerator 11/2016. 7/2022 stopped cooling and freezing, completely. Horrible customer service. To the point where they don't believe anything I say. Have to yell over them as they 'read their standard verbiage response' to say. I am telling you what my warranty says. I had to actually take a picture of my inside label of frig with the warranty book next to it! Compressor is still under warranty. After 7 days of no frig, and fighting with the customer service just to try and find anyone who will service LG in my area -my new other brand frig will be delivered tomorrow and the LG removed and taken to the trash. NEVER ever would I recommend LG.

We purchased our Kenmore Elite model #795.73167.610 in August 2018 with extended warranty. July 20, 2022, the refrigerator stopped working, food ruined. Sears Warranty Repair-Tech. confirmed the compressor has to be replaced. I remember when the Sear's Warranty Service Department had agents that talked to the customer to get an idea regarding the problem, and the Repair-Tech came to your home equipped to repair the appliance on the same day. The is the first time that we have ever experienced a situation like this with a Sears product!

Bought my Kenmore Elite May 2019. Beautiful. By August 2020 developed a noise. Repair finally came. Was told there was ice built up causing the defrost fan to hit on the ice causing the noise. He removed the drawer, used a hairdryer to melt the ice. Put everything back together. I was told I have too much food causing air to not circulate. Tried to cut back. Following year 2021 and now 2022 I have the same problem. I resolve (with irritation) my own problem. Find an old refrigerator, plug in, turn on, unload my food, take to the old working refrigerator. Turn off the new beautiful noisy refrigerator open the door to allow the ice to melt for two days. Then go to the old refrigerator (20 miles away) get my food, turn on my beautiful new "repaired" refrigerator and replace my food. This is a faulty design problem and I would like a better more reliable replacement.

I bought a Kenmore Elite in May 2014. It stopped working May 2015. I call the warranty who sent out a part and told me a repairman would contact me. No one ever did. The Refrigerator started working again some time later, but has now failed again. I called a repairman who checked the unit and confirmed that the compressor was bad. Model number 795.72053.118

I took delivery of my Kenmore Elite on June 2, 2016 and the compressor stopped working on July 9, 2022. Model number 795.73133.410. I scheduled an appointment with Sears Home Repair, but the first available appointment was on July 18, 2022. I, therefore, called a local appliance repair company and paid $1309.56 for a new compressor. In addition, I lost approximately $200 (or more) in food. Sears Holdings/Kenmore/LG should be held responsible knowing that they were selling a faulty product. They should have notified their customers of the recall and replaced the compressor.

I purchased my Kenmore Elite 3 drawer fridge in 2018. The compressor failed July 16, 2022. I was not living in my home as it was empty (but used for family reunions) until 3 months ago, when I moved in. My fridge still had all the plastic on all the drawers as it had not been used. I have been actively using the fridge for 3 months. LG support would not help even though my warranty is good for 10 years. Called 3 different numbers as one person referred me to the next and the next and the next with no help at all (1wasted hour). They ultimately said there is no technician in my area that is available. There was no recourse, no way to add my name to a waiting list, I just have to call back every day to see if a technician is available. Finally my Mom, found a private technician factory trained, who came over and assessed the fridge, and found the compressor broken with a potential water leak. He said all the LG technicians have quit in Florida as they are not being paid by LG. He used to work for LG and he refuses to see their clients as they never pay. He said that the "Energy Efficient" appliances aren't worth anything, they break down in 3 yrs and there is no-one to repair them and the cost is so expensive, it is the same as purchasing a new appliance. He recommends Frigidaire only and the high end which is Electrolux. He told me to go out and purchase a new fridge. He told me to join the lawsuit and get my money back for the LG fridge.

Our unit was purchased in Dec 2018. Kenmore Ellite. Our fan was making loud noises which stopped when we opened the door on either the freezer or the refrigerator. Which happened a few months ago. Then my ice was melting at the door. It had stopped cooling. it We had service come in which they checked the condenser and the main board after they reset the main board , it began to cool but only for a short time mainly the freezer. We lost all of our food! I have photos. We have been living out of a cooler for more than two weeks. Replaced the main board hours ago and the temp in the fridge is now 78 degrees. It may be the condenser, which should be covered. I found out my Kenmore is an LG with a bad rating. Model # 795 74305 810

Purchased a Kenmore Elite model 795.74025.412 in 2016. Compressor died this weekend. Appliance tech informed me of LG's numerous law suits. I didn't see my model mentioned in any of the current class actions. Please include me in the class action. I will continue to search for submitting a proper claim.

Purchased a Kenmore Elite bottom freezer model 795.73153.610 in August if 2019. Paid over 2800.00 for it and was assured by the sales person that the problems with the compressor had been corrected on these newer model. Checked consumer reports as well. Less than 3 years later, July 9, 2022, we have a Sears repair person here today who is replacing the compressor. Initially I was told the technician could not be booked until July 28, but thankfully I checked 10 times a day or more and was able to grab an earlier date due to a cancellation. The repair person said he replaces at least 2 compressors every day and he had one on his truck so we didn’t have to wait to order a compressor.
Is there any lemon laws that apply to this compressor? Any option to get a different brand or get the money back in order to purchase a better brand? I would have never purchased this had I known these problems would continue to happen on the later model Kenmore Elite refrigerators.

I notice this is only for the 3-door models. What about the 4-door models of the #Kenmore Elite (specifically, model # 795.72483.411). My refrigerator was produced in November 2018, purchased in 2019 and the compressor stopped working June 20, 2022. This is an obscenely short length of time for a primary component of a refrigerator to last. The fact that LG was well aware of the problem with the compressors, I would certainly like to think my refrigerator would be included in the settlement. If not, are there other class actions to join?

I realize this is probably not of great legal import, but I would like to point out that I have NEVER had a refrigerator fail to operate in such a short time span. In fact, years ago I bought an old,used one for super cheap because it was what I could afford at the time. Even that one lasted a little more than 10 years. Thus, I don't consider my expectation that LG's compressor in a brand new (and $2600) Kenmore-branded refrigerator would last at least the length of its warranty (10 years) to be outrageous. Indeed, every fridge I ever bought (I am in my 60s) has lasted *at least* 10 years. Based on what I've been reading, I am far, far, far from the only one in this predicament and I don't understand why only 3-door versions are eligible under the settlement.

My $3000 kenmore elite made by LG purchased on july 10th 2016 failed on June 26th 2020.Ineleigible for recalls or class action, LG would not recognize their roll in the manufacturing defect and I am left with nothing, no recourse. NEVER buy LG.

Yes, we’re another Kenmore Elite refrigerator buyer that got robbed by Sears and LG. The old Sears was a place you could trust, but this has destroyed my trust in every buying anything made by Sears or LG. I’m all for legal action against them both. Where is our government officials help in this matter?

I am not sure what the point to all these complaints if we can't get anyone to listen. WHERE THE HELL IS THE CONSUMER PROTECTION!??? Purchased an LG made Kenmore elite in Feb 2017 and it lasted until May 27th of 2022. Cost 2600.00 new. Had a repairman out on Memorial Day and he new it was the compressor. Repair was 1500.00 and it worked for about 2 weeks. Apparently, it is very common for the system to develop pinholes so it won't retain the refrigerant, which renders the whole thing useless! To the group of investors who bought out Sears, you can stick this brand up your giggy! I hope you all lose your shirts when the consumers get done with you. GREEDY SAPS! This piece of crap refrigerator in total cost 775.00 a year to own. Never again!

We had purchased the Kenmore Elite 795.74023 refrigerator with ice maker in the door. The ice maker has stopped producing ice and makes noise that doesn't sound normal. All of the food in the freezer has thawed out and there is no cooling going on. I can hear a fan running or maybe the compressor. If there are class action suits against LG, why do we not get notified until a problem occurs. Please advise me on next steps.

We bought a Kenmore Elite LG refrigerator. Model # 795.72043.110. The ice maker stopped working; fridge is no longer cooling. It sounds as though the motor is still working but it is not cooling, and it regularly and repeatedly makes a strange sound. The LG compressor # is LG FC75LBNA - Inverter 0-220V 60Hz. Do we qualify for the class action suit? How do I convert my Kenmore Elite into an LG model number to see if my refrigerator is included in the class action lawsuit? Have there been any class actions against Kenmore?
Thank you for your support!

We bought Kenmore 3 doors french door refrigerator in 2019 and the compressor stop working in Jan. 2022.
We had the LG compressor replaced by sears repairman in Jan 29th and broke again on April 29. the repair cost is $675.18 x 2 = $1350.36 + tip($100 x 2) =$1550.36.
We intend to take a legal action against this incident and hoping one of you Sears, Kenmore, LG can take care of their customer issue.
I downloaded SC-100 form and filled out and ready to go to Superior court to fill the small claim case.
This is rediculous and neglect of consumers.
For justice, we can not let this monkey business keep going.
We need to stand up.

2017 kenmore elite model # 795.73165.610 refrigerator purchased new with extended home warranty 11/29/17- 11/29/22
The cooling stopped for both freezer and refrigerator in 12/1/21 and reported the issue that week. And the first available time to troubleshoot was in Jan 2022, that was canceled then another cancel until Feb 7 , 2022. The tech said it was the lg compressor valves failed and the parts were ordered and delivered the next week. But we still are waiting for the repair tech to come and install the parts but they have canceled 3 more times. So it’s now ended of April with no refrigerator for almost 5 months.

Called Sears Home Repairs they were trying to sell us home warranty, but said the compressor was still under warranty would have to pay service call & diagnostic fee no mention of a recall total cost 724.64 for that how can you warrant a compressor without a service call & labor, April 22 having problems again lesson learned i bought a high-priced piece of junk never will own anything made by LG again!

Purchased a Kenmore Elite 72483 refrigerator in October 2015. Woke up today to find ice maker leaking. Investigated further to find all sections of refrigerator warm. Spoke with repair technician who informed me that unit was actually an LG unit. Removed back panel and verified compressor is an LG FLB075LANA. Tech advised me to dispose of refrigerator all together and never to purchase another LG, Kenmore, or Samsung unit. Now I’m seeing all of the class action lawsuits against LG for their garbage compressors. How do I convert my Kenmore Elite 72483 into an LG model number to see if my refrigerator is included in the class action lawsuit? Have there been any class actions against Kenmore?

We purchased our Kenmore Elite in June 2017. Our fridge was no longer cooling on October 22. I called the automated system to schedule a technician to come to our home. Friday, November 5th was the first available date. We went ahead and confirmed that date. The morning of the appointment we received a text that a technician would be arriving between 9:46 am - 11:16 am. However, a technician never showed up. Please keep in mind, at this point we had to throw away about $300 worth of food from our fridge due to the compressor going out.

Monday, November 8th I called to see why our technician was a NO SHOW. I was told they were out ill. I was told the next available date was going to be Monday, November 22nd. I was not happy since we had already waited 2 weeks for the original appointment and we had NO working fridge. She told me she could put me on an emergency 24-48 hour call back. And someone would be in contact with us to get to see if we can be seen sooner. I did book the November 22 appointment hoping we would be seen sooner Never heard back from anyone, called again on Thursday, November 11th and was told the same thing. Someone will call back by Friday and see about getting in sooner. Friday, November 12th made another call and was told someone would call us over the weekend.

Monday, November 15th came and still no call from anyone. I called and asked to speak with someone in higher management. After being transferred 3 times, I spoke with someone. After telling her of all the times I have been calling in and promised someone would call me back from the 24-48 hour service department by 3 different customer service representatives, she told me that the service department no longer exists and has been gone for the past 2 years. I must have been speaking with some representatives that were in training. The next thing she told me is that I no longer had the November 22nd appointment schedule "because I canceled it" which I have NEVER changed or canceled. After she placed me on hold, she found out that the appointment was canceled on Sears end . So now the earliest someone could come out to my house was Monday, December 6th. She was not willing to find me an earlier appointment at all. I told her this is unacceptable. I asked for someone in escalation service to give me a call within the week of this call. She said she would send a report -- and of course I NEVER received a follow up call from anyone from Sears.

At this point, we had zero trust in Sears ever coming out to look at our fridge since there were so many inconsistencies within customer service. We had to schedule a service repair with another company as we were going on 6 weeks without a fridge.

Please let us know who we can send our invoice too for reimbursement for the compressor since this was still under warranty.

I have a kenmore elite. Production date says 2019.05

Just had a tech come to look at it because it stopped freezing and cooling food it's a model 795.72489.411

He informed me it was due to the lg compressor and cost more to fix because it will go out again. That is not the only issue are has and he has seen many more with this issue as well where the door water and ice dispenser will not work unless you put a magnet on top to trick the fridge to think it is closed and slowly open the door till the wires continue properly to send a signal to dispenser ice or water. Just to fix that alone is over 600 for a new door because the problem is in the door and can not just replace the wires.

We bought a Kenmore side by side refrigerator in 2020. The ice maker broke within months and they fixed it. Then in December the refrigerator broke and we contacted Sears who had an outside company come to fix it. The parts are still on back order and now the freezer quit. Still no refrigerator. When you call Sears they just put you on hold. Frustrating no accountability.

Bought from Sears and LG refused to recall the compressor where pretty much they used the same compressor from 2014.

Does any one know if there is the same compensation for the repair from LG?

I bought a Kenmore elite model number 253.44743110 from sears. My compressor stop working after 2 years. I had warranty had it replaced. Now the compressor is not working again. It's only been a few years. I find it is unfair to purchase a brand new refrigerator and you have to replace or have to invest in another very costly they should be held responsible for their bad parts.

I have 2017 Kenmore Elite refrigerator made by LG. Called sears and they suggested I buy a Service plan to save 50% on repairs. I did so and 2 tech's came. I was told the condenser was no good an that they have been having problems with this. I was told there is a new condenser for this but unfortunately only good for about 8 months.
In other words I would spend only $550 every 8 months or so since it is at 1/2 price.
The best is they sold me this contract and went thru the motions knowing the problem with the refrigerator. I took 2 days off for the technicians to tell me I had a $2100 refrigerator that is no good.

We purchased Kenmore Elite 795.731 on 3/18/18 in January of 2022 it quit cooling, I called Sears but they would not cover any repairs
We had a repair man come out and said the compressor was an LG and failed, he did not recommend repairing because it would go out again
I called Sears again and told them they should take care of this and they hung up on me
We had to purchase a new refrigerator,
When spending this much money and have to spend the money again in less than 4 years is insane, along with the fact that all that food had to go in the trash
How were they allowed to continue selling refrigerators with LG compressors when they knew there were problems, this is criminal
Sears knowingly took advantage of people, I will never purchase another product

Bought a Kenmore Elite Refrigerator 795-74033.411 approx. 5 years ago from Sears. Notice ice wasn't being made & freezer not cold. Called Sears Repair on 12/3/21 for repair was told they couldn't schedule me until 1/17/22 & advised me to keep appointment & see if I could get an earlier appointment. Discovered it was an LG refrigerator & I should contact the LG Center for service (Big mistake). LG Center sent two technicians (costly) that misdiagnose after 2nd trip never came back & don't want them back. In the past every appliance, tools came from Sears. Not sure I'd purchase anything from Sears. Had Sear Home warranty many years, takes too long for service. Had 4 conversations online with Sears concerning this issue (with refrigerator) but Sears is more concerned with selling Home Service Warranties then repairing the products they already sold. I spoke to a Sears Retiree who stated some of their refrigerators has a 10year warranty on sealed compressor. Today is 1/17/22 just to see what Sears do. Long story short I'll probably end up purchasing somewhere different. After seeing the list of compliant this is what Sears & LG wants!

So the fridge has lasted only 4.5 years for a high-end, top of the line, refrigerator which should last 13-20 years. Fortunately I have a 5 year sears master protection agreement so it should be fixed or replace. Challenge is that the soonest the repair people can come is in 16 days!

I purchased a Kenmore Elite Refrigerator not even 4 years ago an the refrigerator stopped cooling the week of Christmas causing me to lose a ton of food for Christmas eve an Christmas day. Due to covid there are very little refrigerators to choose from in the size I need and they are not immediately available. I saw that there is a recall or lawsuit thru LG/Kenmore I would like to know who to contact so I can get some results from this untimely failure in this product .

We purchased a Kenmore Elite refrigerator model #795.731 in March 2018 and on 1/02/22 it quit cooling
I called Sears and they refused to do any repairs
We called a tech not affiliated with Sears and he said it has an LG compressor that went out, he advised us not to repair
We have to replace a refrigerator that isn't even 4 years old
Sears should have recalled all of these refrigerators or at least repaired them for free.
I will never purchase from Sears again, they knowingly sold products that were junk

My 2017 Kenmore Elite refrigerator stopped freezing on Christmas Day Dec 25 2021. I lost all my food, Xmas dinner, etc. I called Sears and they couldn't get out until Jan 12th so i called a local company. They charged me $70 and told me it is a defective compressor made by LG for Sears Kenmore, and they know it is defective and still sells the defective fridges. I purchased this new in October 2017. Sears wants to charge me over $300 to fix this problem.
Help please.

Kenmore Elite was purchased 4 years ago and compressor failed. To repair is $1000 even though Sears only warrants the compressor. I would have bought the extended warranty for 5 years had I ever worried that a compressor would fail in less than 10 years because the machine had a linear conpressor versus a reciprocating compressor that is standard with GE machines. Unfortunately the Kenmore sits dead in my kitchen after 4 months and I am looking at GE to replace soon.

Purchased a Kenmore (LG) 4 door refrigerator model 795.72493.611, November 23, 2016. November 25, 2021, 5 years almost to the day, it stopped cooling, I checked in back of the refrigerator and the motor was hot to the touch and the glue was melting off of the compressor. I unplugged the refrigerator. Called Sears for service, they no longer service my area after my extended service lapsed in 2020. Sign me up for a class action lawsuit.

Bought and installed new from Sears in 5/17. LG inline compressor failed 12/21. Tech took one look at the 1-page warranty and stated it was not covered. Most have 5 or 10-year warranty, but not my model #795.7249.11. I am beyond frustrated that not only was food ruined, but my medications that must be refrigerated at a stable temperature were also ruined.

Hello we purchased a Kenmore Elite model#795.72489.410 it stopped cooling,making ice,or freezing I had 3 repair person came to our home and diagnosed a bad Compressor, they all told me it had a 10 year warranty. After several attempts I finally got in touch with Sears Home Repair. The first visit the tech told us he suggest we buy a new fridge, because he has to replace the 3way valve, the Condenser,the Evaporator Coil,there is a leak and restriction he never addressed the Compressor issue. The cost was going to be over One Thousand Dollars, I asked him how can all those parts failed at the same time and was there any warranty he said the warranty on those parts ran out I. June of 2021. We declined. We requested a second visit, the same tech showed same story about the bad parts, this time I asked him again hiw can all these parts failed at same time. He told us that is what LG recommends I suggested to change just the Compressor he told my all these parts are inter connected and he was just going by what LG recommends I told him if LG recommends these changes then they should pay for it. The conclusion we came to he didn't want to change the Compressor. We went out and purchased a new refrigerator.

Purchased a Sears Kenmore model # 795.72493.611 on October 10, 2017. After 4 (12/09/2021) years the appliance stopped cooling even though it sounds like the motor is running. In fact, all the lights inside and outside work. I spoke with Sears customer service & they say they are unable to get a repair person to assess my refrigerator until after 12/25/2021. I have lost all of my refrigerated and frozen items. This is well over $1000. The second time in barely 3 months (Hurricane Ida and Nicholas).
I do not know what to do about this. No refrigerator /freezer for the rest of the year?!? Even an ice chest will not work for this long. This is an uncalled for expensive situation. I am angry, disillusioned, and feel like I have been bilked. Please let me know how to handle this situation!!

Purchased Kenmore Elite
Model #795.73133.410
Serial # 702MRV80623
Winter 2016

11/29/21 - Two days ago the freezer began defrosting and yesterday the entire refrigerator/freezer quit. Sears told my husband that they had no one that could come and check it. We had a local person check it out and the LG compressor has quit. Doing research online to find a replacement compressor found out that this has been an ongoing issue with Kenmore and the LG Compressors. I would like to know what is being done now to help with this since the law suit claim is supposedly closed. This is ridiculous!

I have an LG MODEL # LFXS30796S purchased in Jan 2019. Linear compressor needs to be replaced was the diagnosis given by the repair man and he has stated the compressors on LG units are junk. They last about 2 years and are unreliable. He is going to replace it at the cost of $1370.00. Simply outrageous will never by LG anything again. LG service is no help they are stating unit is out of warranty.

The compressor on my Sears Kenmore Elite which was purchased in October of 2015 stopped working about a month and a half ago! It does have a LG compressor on it which is still covered by the manufacturers warranty but I am still having to pay $615 for the additional parts and labor! This is ridiculous especially seeing that they have known about these compressors for quite awhile! I also lost about $300 worth of food that was in the freezer and some that was in the refrigerator compartment. I am totally disgusted with LG and Sears!

I am a 69 year old widow. My husband and I bought our Sears Kenmore Elite in October of 2015. He was retired and had just found out he had a terminal illness. I was getting ready to retire in order to care for him so we purchased this refrigerator as well as other new appliances in preparation for the issues we would be facing in the coming months. He passed away three years ago and now I’m having to deal with the compressor going out on the Kenmore. According to Sears the compressor is still under the manufactures warranty. That would be LG. They will replace the compressor but I am still having to pay $169 for additional parts and $431 for labor as well as the food I lost when the freezer quit! I am living on social security and have very little extra money to cover these repairs to my refrigerator. If anyone starts a class action lawsuit pleas include me in that group!!

Freezer over freezes and bottom part where all the food is located does not get cold enough to keep food especially milk from spoiling.

We bought the Elite in 2014. We've had frosting problems and ice maker problems. Now the compresser needs replacing. If we had seen all these complaints we would never had purchased it. Now we're reading that LG/Kenmore is supplying faulty compressers for this refrigerator when manufactured. . Now we are reading that they are replacing with the same faulty compresser and the same issue has occurred again for many customers. We will never buy from LG or Kenmore! Model #785.7404.410

Bought a Kenmore Elite, model # 798.73153.610 from Sears. Apparently this is a fridge built by LG for Kenmore. Bought the unit June 2017 and a little over 4 1/2 years, no longer working. Ice melted and fridge no longer cooling. Called a bunch of appliance repair companies and had a few who asked for the model number and since it is an LG built, they did not want to come out and check it out. Had someone come to diagnose the problem as my Sears appt was 2 weeks out. I was told it is the compressor and that LG has now built a universal compressor for all their fridges but then this compressor will not work with existing control board, therefore it will also need to be changed. Read in some comments that the board is not going to be included in the compressor warranty, which is a bummer. But just want to let everyone know what a defective product this is.

I have a 32 cubic feet LG and have had all kinds of problems with it (3 door unit) and its conveniently not covered. Lost 7 batches of food, main board replaced twice, fan unit replaced and compressor went bad. Ringing endorsement for buying a LG fridge aint it?

We bought our LG model number. LFX 289685/00 April of 2019. It stopped working in October of 2021 . I Called repairman cost me $98 for him to come out and check it. He was here about 30 minutes told me it was a compressor and it would cost $1458.00 to fix it This is $3000.00 refrigerator.I've only had this refrigerator two and a half years this is ridiculous when I called Lowe's they told me my warranty had run out so I would have to pay for it myself.. I've checked on a recall it not on any recall list. Well this lady has learned a valuable lesson. I will never buy another LG product or recommend it to anyone. Take my advice pay the extra bucks for the extended warranty or buy a better product

I purchased a Kenmore Pro, model number 795.79993.510, on 12/4/2015. The LG compressor failed last month. It was replaced on 10/19/2021 at a cost of $1,055. The repairman said they keep these replacement compressors in stock because so many LG compressors have failed. He was surprised I got 6 years out of the first one.

I purchased Kenmore elite french doors freezer on bottom. model 795 72483 410. the compressor went out in 4 years I had bought the extended warranty and sears had to replace the compressor. But I was told it might not last. then the ice maker has stopped working and now it is throwing another code f dh and shuts the water dispenser down. I guess the code it for the freezer a defrost sensor. no repairman will touch this refrigerator because it is junk. So now how do we file for the lawsuit.

Bought a Kenmore Elite mod 795.73167.610 on May 22 2019...Quit cooling on10/20/21...called for service next day..got in their robot system (terrible system) farmed out to India or elsewhere..couldn't understand people i talked to..bottom line best repair date 11/8/21.

Food lost, Have medicine need refrigerated storage. Made several calls trying to improve date no luck as of today.
Can't find anybody else that wants to work on it.

Almost sure Compressor is out. From what I read here I can expect to have to wait for repair parts also?

Kenmore used to have a very good reputation in the appliance world. What happened? Service sucks also.

I would appreciate a response and some help in getting satisfaction.'

My research shows the class action lawsuit was settled in January. There are plenty of other folks who could use to be in on it from what I have read. My 3 year old frig stopped cooling 4 months after my extended warranty was up and a tech told me all was well with it. Who knew you should research lawsuits before purchasing a refrigerator!!! They should not continue to sell this junk.
bought frig 5/30/18
delivered 6/01/18
5/26/21 tech came for the free diagnostic extended warranty entitled me to
extended warranty expired 5/30/21

I bought a Kenmore Elite bottom freezer around Nov/Dec 2015. The freezer seemed to not be cooling very well. Scheduled a tech to test it and the day before he arrived, the freezer completely stopped cooling. He determined the compressor is not functioning and needs to be replaced. He said several other parts associated with the compressor will also need to be replaced since they are connected/integrated with the compressor. Even though the compressor is under warranty, it will cost approx $1500 for this repair. I will NOT put more money into this faulty unit. I would rather put $1500 into a new, NON KENMORE/LG refrigerator. I invested in a “new” refrigerator 5-6 years ago Thinking I would be set for many years. This s my first and last Kenmore/LG product.

I purchased a Kenmore Elite French door refrigerator on July 23, 2016 along with a new dishwasher and stove. Fridge stopped working and I called customer service 888 536-6673 and was told by rep Carmen that due to recall and class action lawsuit if the problem was the compressor which has a 10 year warranty I would only be charged a $129 service call, the compressor and its installation would be free of charge. After waiting nearly a month for the service appointment yesterday the tech came and validated that it was indeed a compressor failure. He informed me that while the part was free, it would be $705 for the repair to be made. Calls to the customer service number now do not result in any way to speak to a live human being. No wonder Sears is out of business!

I bought a Kenmore bottom freezer on April 2020and by July 2020 it started with the ice maker malfunction to then not cooling at all 3 techs came to see it supposedly fixed it not true so i finally had it replaced in November of 2020 waited 3 months for it to get replaced and know it doesn't cool again 1 tech came last week and gave a dumb explanation of the settings being incorrect BS not true so know here i go again with the sears fighting again even though i pay for the sears home warranty.

Sears Kenmore model # 795.72493.611. I bought a Kenmore French door on Black Friday 2016 and put in use on Sept/2017 ( because my house was being built during that time). After 4 years the compressor gone bad. I spoke with the Sears Home Warranty Department, the customer service suggested that I should by the warranty for $49.95/month for technician to come out to diagnosis with no charge ( if I go a head with the repair) but I still have to pay for the repair which is sounds like $400 - $500. On top of that I have to keep my warranty for a year which is about $600. Sounds like not worth it.

Bought a Kenmore Elite (model: 79572489411) bottom freezer in 2016. Ice maker went out within 2 years. Now in 2021, we have replaced the condenser, compressor, drier filter, computer board, and a freezer evap cover and fan within 6 months. I was informed by the technician I had an LG and not a Whirlpool. We are still waiting on the last part to arrive and be installed. I paid $3500 for this refrigerator. I have not owned an LG before and I will not own another one in the future.

Sears, LG Refrigerator with a Kenmor Elite badge on the right door. model 795.73167.610 quit cooling on 8-30-21. After numerous phone calls to LG and Sears finally got a appointment with a sears tech. Arrived on 9-8-21. Here for almost 3 hours, on his phone for 3/4 of the time. Finally said bad compressor, said that cpu board was not compatible with their "Universal Compressor"and I would have to purchase a new board for the repair. Only the compressor was covered. Total bill would be 812.00. Would take 2 weeks and parts would be shipped to my home. He had nothing on his truck. Seemed he had no idea what he was saying or doing. Felt like I was dealing with a clueless Shyster.

I purchase a Kenmore Elite refrigerator in 2016. Had a repair 2 years later and now, August 2021 the compressor is done. this refrigerator is less than 5 years of purchase. Sears has given me the runaround on a warranty of a television I purchased after their technician said it should be replace vs ordering a part which never came. Then they kept switching me from one department to another without resolution. I am stating this as I was called to renew the warranty on the refrigerator and a couple of other appliances including the TV. Needless to say, I will never engage in a product or service from Sears. This company used to be great and now it is horrible!

Purchased Kenmore Elite refrigerator in 2017. 4 1/2 years later the compressor went out. They want over $400 to fix it. The compressor is still covered, but they want over $400 to fix it. Ridiculous!!! Labor should also be covered for a faulty part. Glad the Sears closed by me. I can see why now. The sell crapy items and don't offer support. American Home Shield will not cover either because should be under warranty. These two businesses are crooked!!! Don't use either!!!!!!!!!

Kenmore Elite French door Counter Depth refrigerator, purchased 11/30/2017. Purchased 3 year extended warranty also. Refrigerator stopped cooling on August 28, 2020 while still under warranty. Replaced FF evaporated. condenser and compressor. Now out of warranty and it took 2 weeks for service tech to come out, to say it's now the fan. But he didn't bother to check anything - same "not cooling" is happening. Says it will cost $659 to repair, but he didn't address the rest of the issues. He did say that I have a lemon, and that Sears won't do anything about it. When I called Sears, they were not the least bit helpful. I'm back to square one - stuck with a lemon that still doesn't work, and it will be 2 weeks for anyone to come back to diagnose properly. I'm disgusted!

Have been 3 months without a refrigerator and Sears still will not repair the faulty compressor in our Kenmore Elite french door refrigerator. There is a class action lawsuit inquiry that everyone needs to sign up for. It is ridiculous that Sears is not taking care of this. They are refusing because the diagnosis was made by a non-sears repair person, who then sent us to Sears because he was aware of the issue with LG compressors.

Kenmore Elite, 3y. old. stop producing cold. Sears and Kenmore are of no use. I called a local repair company, they said it's a known problem with those fridge, and to get in touch with Kenmore/LG, compressor problem, badly designed.
Parts MAY be covered, but labor won't.
Why do we have to pay anything for their mistakes? throwing 500 bucks every 3 years is not a wise investment.
Next repair slot is in 3 weeks. what? They can't be serious.

I bought a Kenmore Grab-N-Go 23.9 cubic foot refrigerator in April 2017. This appliance was manufactured by LG. (model 795.7033). Four years later, in July 2021, it completely quit cooling. Sears couldn't get a repairman to my house for over 2 weeks, so I called an independent repairman. He said the compressor is completely shot, and it's not worth it to replace the compressor. He advises purchasing a new refrigerator. He said that LG/Kenmore appliances are complete garbage! I paid $2,000 for this refrigerator, and it only lasted 4 years?!? I am extremely unhappy.

I purchased Kenmore Elite refrigerator 2017.
I noticed my refrigerator was not cooling . I tried to find a local repairman however they all ask what kind refrigerator do you have ? When I replied Kenmore Elite a couple of them refused to repair LG And Samsung products. Finally I found Kenmore repairman he told me the compressor is died .
He told me they used plastic parts. He told me it will cost $ 950 plus labor to repair my refrigerator. LG told me they would not cover the cost to repair my Kenmore elite because they don’t manufacture Kenmore products. Kenmore said I would have to pay $169 just for a service call. Neither company stands behind their products.

I have a different problem my year and a half year old Sears/LG manufactured refrigerator. Model #795.71314.313. Water leeks from the bottom freezer out onto the floor. A layer of ice builds up, which has to be broken up. The water has ruined my floor wood cabinet molding.Food does not freeze properly. The whole inside of the bottom freezer draw forms a layer of ice. the problem is not the ice maker because that has been turned off.

Wife and I are in our 70’s and can not function without fridge so called independent contractor to fix. Replaced compressor and faulty wiring. They said 7 out of 10 refrigerators calls are the Lg linear compressors that are faulty. Sears will said they would not honor replacement cost of compressor because Sears service tech did not repair. I would like to get in on a class action lawsuit but at 76 years old not sure how to do that.

We purchased our Kenmore Elite 7/18. I love the look of it and it is easy to use. How ever it is now useless. Sears will not fix it , they can not get parts from China. No one else will touch it either. They are saying it is junk and they will not repair it. Not only did I lose them unit but about $800.00 worth of food. Now that I am reading about what others have gone through I am beyond angry that sears allowed any of them to be sold and are still selling them. I was never notified about them class action suit against them but fully intend to look into it. sears is junk. Will not ever buy anything from them again.

Same complaint. Kenmore Elite refrigerator lasts less than one years. Had it repaired after waiting approximately 3 mos for warranty service. Now it is almost 5 years old and the compressor is out. Can't get an appointment for 3 weeks. Done with Sears forever.

Bought our Kenmore Elite 795.73157.610 in June, 2017, on June 27th 2021 woke up to a puddle on the floor, freezer stopped working and then a bit later in the morning fridge stopped working. Can't get service call from Sears until July 8th. What the heck do we do in-between. Why is LG allowed to keep putting these faulty compressors into any product? Now Sears looks bad and definitely will not buy another LG fridge.

My GL refrigerator serial # 610MRMD1Z419 purchased in December 2019 has stop working, not getting cold, in my opinion it should be part of the recall as well.
Refrigerators are too expensive and to have it break in less than three years is not right.

We purchased our Kenmore elite refrigerator which we discovered is really an LG in December 2017. We completely remodeled our kitchen in March 2018. All new Kenmore elite appliances were installed. All purchased at Sears. Right out of the box the microwave was broken. They sent three repairman to fix it. The first two said that serious and Kenmore should just take this one back and replace it with a new one. They finally sent a repairman that took the entire microwave apart and basically rebuilt it. After that fiasco the Kenmore refrigerator compressor stopped cooling after only 18 months. At $2500+ Supposedly elite refrigerator. Sears was no help. The compressor was still under warranty but we had to pay over $400 to get the refrigerator fixed. We purchased the seers home warranty and that has been a complete fiasco as well. I knew it would fail again after reading about this particular model on the Internet as well as it makers model the LG version. We have had Sears home warranty and Sears home services to the house twice for a total of three times to fix this refrigerator. Not to mention the first time it stopped working they told us it would be several months before they can even have someone look at it so we had to go buy a new refrigerator for the kitchen. I’ll never deal with seers series home warranty seers home services as soon as my contract is up. I’ll never buy another Kenmore or LG product. Neither company will stand behind there product.

I have an LG 3 door refrigerator that is 3 years old. I paid over $3000 for it and the compressor has completely failed. I have notified LG and called every repair person with about 50 miles. No one will touch LG! Besides having ruined food and a big mess to clean up I am now with a useless appliance. The last refrigerator I bought is still running after 16 years with no problems at all. How is this company allowed to stay in business?

Kenmore Elite
Model # 795.75043.611
Wow, it hasn't been 3 years and the compressor died on our Kenmore Elite Refridgerator. The warranty on the compressor is supposed to cover for 10 years. We are getting the royal run around and a great deal of stress from Sears which is shielding Kenmore.
They want $1100 to repair. They said our compressor is not covered as they conveniently add a note although it is in black and white print on the warranty. This is highway robbery. Supposedly not all models are covered???
These folks are crooks and now as summer starts, I'm without a fridge. Five thumbs down on Sears and Kenmore.

Purchased a Kenmore model 795.7305 (3-door, stainless steel) in February 2017. Compressor died in June 2021. $1100 to fix. Would love to joing a class action suit against Sears/Kenmore. Have elected to replace frig rather than risk a fix that may not keep me going for a reasonable length of time.

I have been without a refrigerator since May 23,2021, it is now June 10.2021. First time repairman came out, he replaced the compressor and said the circuit board was not sending voltage to compressor. Repairman called into LG to get circuit board ordered and the LG tech refused to help him. I then called into LG trying to explain what is going on and the woman hung up on me. I called back explained everything once again and LG rep says they had to call repair service to verify what actually was the issue. The repair service told them exactly what I said. LG said they have made another appointment for A&E service repair to come out and fix the refrigerator. On June 9th. A&E sends same repair man to my house without the part and says LG only assigned an assessment call. Now my question is Did they think the refrigerator would fix it self? I mean the same repair guy. Once he came in he then remembered the situation and said "you need a new circuit board." I said yes you said that last week. Where is the circuit board? He then tells me that LG was supposed to send it to me which I never received nor was informed. Now I have to wait another WEEK before this gets resolved. Lost $279.00 in Groceries. I had to purchase a 4.4 cubic ft refrigerator to put drinks in and what nots thats another $150.00 Yet LG blames A&E and A&E blames LG and here I sit with NO refrigerator since May 23rd. I have a "case manager" that I sent an email to ( no response) and I also sent a text message to which no response. My question who is going to help me? Do these big companies even care? We spend a lot of money on their appliances and this is how they treat us? I AM LIVID!! CAN SOMEONE PLEASE FIX MY REFRIGERATOR!!! OR BETTER YET REPLACE THE DARN THING. IT IS ONLY 4-5 YRS OLD. I SHOULDNT BE HAVING THESE KIND OF ISSUES. Actually the main issue is the lack of customer service / help from LG and A&E

Purchased a Kenmore Elite Bottom Freezer Model 795.7249 in the fall of 2017. The refrigerator quit cooling/freezing March 2020 but with COVID we did not contact anyone because of the shutdown. I called Sears today to inquire about the compressor warranty and was told the compressor was covered for 10 years BUT I would have to pay for a technician to run a diagnostic test even though the manual says that this refrigerator has a diagnostic feature that can be done over the phone. This fee was $130. I would also have to pay the labor charge in excess of $300. The kicker was when I asked if they were replacing the compressor with a different compressor I was told it was the same compressor!!! I asked if it went out in 2-3 years if I would have to pay the same fees again. You got it, I would have to pay again. My first Kenmore refrigerator lasted nearly 20 years and my parents always bought Kenmores because they were reliable. I know this model is a LG and ai can promise you I will NEVER purchase a LG again. I cannot believe that a recall was issued for the LGs but not the Kenmores and there is no remedy to make the purchasers whole.

Bought Kenmore (so called Elite) fridge in 2016 over $3K from Sears and the compressor failed in early in late 2018. About 2 years of use. Sears Tech came out charge $99 for the service call and changed compressors, stated they have design issues, I expect this to happen again. They even push extended warranties on all your Kenmore equipment such as washing machines, dryers both from the Tech in person and over the phone. Steer away from Kenmore.

Sears Kemore Elite refrigerator w/LG compressor - 79574025410. Quit cooling 4/9/20. Scheduled appt for repair 4/17/20. Tech replaced compressor to no avail. Compressor never begin cooling or freezing. Scheduled 2nd appt. 4/28/20. Service Tech did not show. Appointment canceled due to no serviceman available in the local area. Pure frustration! Only option home services offered was reschedule appt 2 weeks away on May 14, 2020. Spoiled food, inconvenience during COVID19 crisis, unnecessary costs for parts and labor. I would like to join the class action law suit against LG faulty compressors.

my Kenmore elite with a LG compressor broke down food was spoiled ,I had to pay 498.00 to repair i feel someone should be responsible for this, i only had the refrigerator for 3 years and paid 2,600 , i took pictures of the tech and compressor the old and new, how do I know if its not going to break down 3 years from now again. This is total bs especially when LG knows about the defects.

I purchased a Kenmore Elite refrigerator in January 2017, Model# 795.74025.410. The product stopped cooling on April 9, 2020. This LG model compressor is defective and the local appliance repairman refused to service it because of its faulty nature and history of class action lawsuits. I called Sears customer service and scheduled an appointment for a tech diagnosis and repair on Friday, April 17, 2020. The tech repairman first stated that if the compressor is the problem, he would have to order a replacement but that I would still owe service costs of $128. He then remembered that he could possibly help me by mysteriously having the right compressor for the Refrigerator and replaced it for a total cost of $491.00. After leaving the refrigerator compressor did not reach the point of cooling or freezing. I am disappointed in the tech's repair service, the product unreliability, and the loss of spoiled food twice. I have another appointment on April 28, 2020 to replace and/or repair free of charge based on the 90 day warranty. I sincerely believe that I deserve another brand refrigerator and refund for useless repairs due to a defect in this model compressor by LG.

I have the same issue as many of the above individuals. Purchased a Kenmore Elite (LG) in 2016 and 8 months after my extended warranty expires my frig stops working. I had a repair tech come out and tell me it is the compressor. Now looking at a repair bill of over a 1,000.00. I am beyond mad!!
I called several other repair techs and all informed me it would be best to buy an new frig. If I get a new compressor it is only covered under warranty for 90 days. Sears would not even tell me over the phone what I was looking at in cost to replace the compressor or if it may be under warranty, with out their tech coming out for a $99.00 fee. l will never buy another Kenmore appliance or LG appliance.
Now I am looking for a new frig.

Purchased a Kenmore Model # 72595 in 2018. Refrigerator stopped working (cooling and freezing) April 15, 2020. Repairman said it was the compressor. Paid $89 for service charge. Compressor is under warranty but I am told that the labor charge is going to be close to $450.

I bought all new kitchen appliances from Sears for my new house. The $2000 Kenmore fridge Died in the 19th month! Found out it only had a One Year warranty!
Sears offered to Fix it...if I bought an extended warranty, for $50 a month! I reluctantly agreed, since I had already Lost over $200 worth of Food.
They sent a repairman, who charged me $80 (they told me it would be $75)...but then said that they would Only Pay Up To $500...for the $1000 repair!
I researched the model of compressor and found out that LG covers Their compressors for 5 to 10 years...but Not if they are in Kenmore fridges!! One Pathetic Year!
I Canceled the coverage and now have a big pile of Junk in my garage!
I will NEVER buy Anything from Sears again!!

I purchased a Kenmore Elite refrigerator in January 2017 which just over 3 years old. Yesterday it stop cooling altogether. Due to the COVID -19 stay at home restrictions and social distancing measures in place the earliest an appointment for a tech visit is a week from now, 4/17/20. I am aware of the Class Action lawsuit against LG for the defect in the compressor. I also was informed by a local appliance repairman that he would not attempt to repair any LG 795 models and that LG should not charge for parts and labor for this defective compressor. Our food has spoiled and we are without a refrigerator for at least week while we are under "stay at home" protocol.

Bought a Kenmore Pro in 2016, failed this week and we lost all of our food. They told us it was just the vents...to wait 48 hours. Of course, the food all thawed and spoiled. No one mentioned the failure of all the compressors. Now the repair service has to order the parts and we are still without a refrigerator. It's only 3 1/2 years old. Terrible junk...biggest regret that we trusted Sears for our one time buying updated appliances.

I bought brand new refrigerator from SEARS, model 51833,January 2016. Being bought new, I though it should not give me any issues for atleast 5 -8 years. Howver, had to call Sears to come work on it June 2018. Again now March 2020 same issue. THey are wanting me to pay another $500 to have this issue fixed and there is no way out of this since only Sears can order parts for this model and fix this issue.. Frustrating as it is with COVID-19, NO JOB, NOW THIS NON_WORKING FRIDGE, left with no food. Sears, BEware i will be filling a lawsuit against your company once all this settles.

2016 Kenmore Refrigerator
Model #795.73165.610
Serial #603KR00184
After smelling something "burning" during the evening of Feb 26th, realized the fridge was no longer working the afternoon of Feb 27th. Using a fairly incompetent home warranty company (I will soon dissolve our relationship), three (3) contractors have confirmed it's the compressor (in a linear sealed system), and we're now awaiting parts to fix.
Note it's March 19th and still don't have a working fridge!

Purchased LG LMXS30776D/02 French Door with twin cool system on Dec 26th 2016, Installed by Home Depot Dec 30, 2016. Paid $2995.00 and it lasted until Feb 18, 2020. LG support was not helpful, Home Depot said my 3 year Service plan was expired because it actually started on the day it was purchased verse the day manufacturer warranty expires. Did research and troubleshooting online and most issues are the Linear Inverter Compressor or the PCB. Performed tests on the PCB and all good, Found issue with compressor. Contacted local Appliance service company to look at the fridge and found compressor to be bad. $85.00 service call, it will end up costing me close to $800.00 dollars once parts are received and unit is repaired. Question is how long will it last before it fails again. New Compressor is the"UPDATED UNIT with UPDATED SOFTWARE in the PCB. Still waiting for parts and unit to be repaired.

My daughter bought a Bottom Freezer Refrigerator 12/2017. She couldn't afford the extended warranty so she didn't buy it. Within a little over year the unit quit and she lost a "ton" of food. My hubby was able to fix and it worked for another year. Now, 25 months of owning it, it quit again. My husband can't fix it. We called a repair person and they didn't know what to do because it was intermittent.

I called Sears and got passed around and around through two different phone calls. They would NOT help my daughter since she didn't spend the money on the extended warranty.

I can see why Kenmore is "kaput" and why Sears is going under- they have inferior quality and refuse to stand behind their appliances.

My daughter, a single mom, cannot afford a new fridge and it looks like that's what's going to have to happen. She's got little kids and no fridge!

This is amazing!

My family has had the LG trio fridge for 5 years and almost a year ago it stopped cooling every time we call the customer support all they say is to have it reset to factory setting and it never works. We had a tech come to check it and the teach said the compressor and cooing coil were no longer working.

We purchased a Kenmore Elite 3 door bottom freezer in May 2017. In August 2019 at 15 months old, the compressor went out. Sears was of no help when I called so I hired a local repairman to come take a look. He charged me $100 to do nothing but say “the compressor is bad, you’ll have to go through Sears” and showed me a clause in th instruction booklet that states sealed refrigerant systems (compressor etc) were covered parts only for an extended period of time. It took multiple calls, long waiting times, $540 out of pocket and 3 trips by the repair company but we finally got it repaired mid October. It worked great until February 15, 2020 (a whopping 4 months) and the compressor has gone out again! It is now a beautiful piece of useless art sitting in our garage and we are out $560 for parts, food losses twice $350 and the $2000 to buy a new refrigerator that does not have an LG made compressor! Beyond disappointed... I’m angry.

Only had my Kenmore Elite refrigerator for 2 years and the compressor has died. The company is willing to cover the part, but the labor over $400 is absurd; especially with the lost of food due to spoilage and the defrosting ice leaking on my hardwood floor into my basement ceiling. I am losing big from this purchase. The fact they know this is a faulty compressor and still sell them and not want to stand behind them is beyond my understanding. This is definitely not fair to the consumer for this company to steal our money

Still waiting for it to be fixed second time

Our Kenmore Elite (production in 2016) has stopped cooling and freezing. It's a side by side.
795.51823.410. There is no error code. Service man came and says everything else appears to be working. It's doing everything BUT cooling and freezing. We just purchased our new home and loved the refrigerator in the home...when it worked. Now...it's too big to move, so it sits in our livingroom, while our "garage fridge" took it's place. Does this fit into a potential recall or what recourse is there for us?

We bought a Kenmore Elite refrigerator in June of 2015 . In 2017 we needed it repaired and found out that it was really a LG with the Kenmore name. It is now 2020 and its not even 5 years old and we are in need of a repair again for the same problem, not cooling. We now found out from the repair person from Sears that it is the compressor and condenser which he told me was a problem directly from the factory. I have called Sears a number of times on both occasions and gotten no help and I have been hung up on. Please help!!

Bought my Kenmore Bottom Freezer refrigerator Model 7957249 on Dec. 24 2017. Compressor went out Nov.20, 2019. Waited 3 months for 2 repair appointments - sears will not cover the defective compressors because they only have 1 year warranty. I would have thought that a (formerly) good company would stand behind their product. They don't. Sears has lost a customer who has been loyal to them for the last 35 years. No wonder they are going bankrupt

I paid $2200 for this refrigerator and have only used it 11 months when it quit working. Was told there was nothing that they could do. I am TOTALLY disappointed in Sears. Will never, never, never buy a product from Sears/Kmart again. Wonder why they are going out of business....hmmm

I bought my kenmore refrigerator 3/2018, the compressor stopped working since last Friday 1/10/2020. the tech guy came and told me that all these kenmore series have major problems as they have LG compressors and they usually damaged after almost 2 year. Kenmore do warranty for only one year because they know that they are going to stop working. It is not even 2 years!!! I paid 2599 for a defective refrigerator and I am still paying for it in payments :( I had to threw everything away and I honestly don't know what to do as I cant afford another one right now!!!!

My LG refrigerator went out on me about a week ago. I owned for about 5 years. I call LG tech support and did a smart diagnoses over the phone and they were able to know the refrigerator status. The LG repairman came today and check the fridge and concluded it is a compressor gone bad. He said LG has come out with a new linear compressor that should last longer but it is made in China. My old linear compressor was made in Korea but still failed. Anyway, I told support tech about class action lawsuit and any fridge with 10 years on the compressor warranty has 5 years labor and parts. Tech support check and schedule tech to come out today. So far I don't have any issue with LG tech support, my case was handle quickly with one phone call and it did not cost me a dime. I did not even have to show my receipt of purchase because the date on the compressor is less than 5 years. Every manufacture are the same but how they handle the issues or stand by their products determine customer loyalty. Wish everyone have your issue resolved as easy as mine.

I purchased a kenmore Elite refrigerator in August of 2015. The control panel went out the first year and then October 2, 2019 the compressor stopped working. I paid for a sears service person to come and assess the issue. They ordered a compressor which wasn’t the correct one and tried to reorder another after selling me the warranty plan. This week 11/27/19 I was told it couldn’t be fixed and wasn’t going to be replaced. Two service appointments were set up and no one showed up the latest being this week. I would like help from anyone ... this was a 3500.00 refrigerator.

I purchased an Elite Refrigerator made by LG November, 2017 and it stopped working September 23, 2019. I had purchased the extended warranty for a couple of hundred of dollars after spending over $2,000.00 for the refrigerator. I called Sears home warranty and they couldn't get to me for 11 days, I bitched loud enough for them to agree to let me hire a third party person if I could get someone sooner and I did. They came out and replaced the operation panel and it worked for a couple of hours - I called them back and he said the compressor was bad and would keep blowing everything. Sears came October 4th and said he had to order a new compressor, they came back on October 17th (2 men) worked for 5 hours and said they had to order more parts and now they can't seem to get the parts. As of today October 31 I am still out a refrigerator. I have reported to Maryland States Attorney for consumers. I am still fighting for a replacement. Sears should stand by their products, but they won't and even the repair man said he doesn't know why they keep selling these refrigerators because they are bad. Sears sold me a faulty refrigerator and they will not stand by their products and replace when they are faulty.

I bought an LG refrigerator about 4 years ago, today the compressor died. The repairman said he sees at least one of these a week. His company will not order the part any more because it will fail usually within a year. He suggested we get in touch with LG and have them come and check it out. I haven't been able to find my receipt or extended warranty. I plan to visit the vendor an see if they can produce a copy for me. At the same time start looking for a new fridge. I noticed a lot of class action suits being started may have to sign up for one of those.

I just had my Kenmore refrigerator, Model# 79570323310 (purchased date 02/2016) with 3 year warranty from Sears just suddenly stop cooling after owning it less than 3 years and 7 months. I was made aware of that my Kenmore is a LG refrigerator and about the lawsuit when when I spoke to a local appliance repair technician which cost me $120.00. He said I need to call Sears because they maybe able assist with a lower cost of repair because their starts at $900 to $1300. He said that there’s a closed loop failure (Freon leaked out) or the compressor has failed and they would need repair at the shop which would take a week. I gave Sears a call which they charged me $100 again to get their service tech evaluation on the refrigerator failure and they gave me an appointment a week out which turned into two weeks before a tech was able to see and repair the refrigerator. My wife and I had to eat out during that time and the inconvenience trying to keep medicine cooled with an ice cooler. The thing that bother me the most was that their was no sense of urgency on Sears behalf. I had to keep calling Sears to confirm the appointment because this indeed was an emergency being with our fairly new refrigerator.

bought a Kenmore Elite in June of 2016 based on salesman's recommendation and product brochure advertising long life, high efficiency and quiet operation... Ha! October 2019 it died... stopped cooling in both refrigerator and the freezer... water leaking out of the ice maker as the ice melted. of course lost a fridge full of food. called Sears repair and was told 4 weeks lead time to get a tech to come look at it. called a local repair place, their tech showed up the next day and said "oh, Kenmore, i bet it is the LG compressor..." and after he opened it up, he was right. replaced the compressor and $959 dollars later it started to cool down again. will never buy anything "LG" in the future unless i read an awful lot of good news about how they have improved.

Purchased a kenmore elite i (795 .7283. 210) everything was good until 4 months ago when the ice maker stopped working. Then the fridge stopped cooling had someone come out and yup your compressor is shot. For what we paid for it I figured we would get a lot of years out of it. I bought most of my appliance from sears. Didn’t realize how many people have had the same problem with kenmore brand

I just had the same issue as Jayme. I purchased a Kenmore Elite, Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator August 2015 less than 5 years ago about two weeks ago my freezer stop working. I contacted Sears warranty they sent a technician out today 10/2/19 I was told it would cost me $495 to fix the problem. The technician said that the I needed a new condenser which would be no charge because that's covered under the manufacturer's warranty and labor I would be responsible for unless I purchased an additional warranty that would cover all the parts for $49 a month but it would cut the $495 in half.
How is this right? We are all having the same issue and they are charging outrageous fees for repair.

I purchased a Kenmore 24 cu. ft. French Door Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator October 11, 2014 less than 5 years ago about two weeks ago my freezer stop working. I contacted Sears warranty they sent a technician out today 9/23/19 I was told it would cost me $858.23 to fix the problem. The technician said that the I needed a new condenser which would be no charge because that's the only thing covered under the "warranty" but the other parts and labor I would be responsible for unless I purchased an additional warranty that would cover all the parts for $600 a year but it would cut the $858.23 in half.

I bought a Kenmore refrigerator from sears on 9-5-18 it was regular $700. BUT ON SALE FOR $500. It started making noises off and on, getting more frequent. I noticed that the food in the fridge was not staying cold, we'll eventually all my food went bad. I called sears and told them and they gave me another number to call, so I called and waited on hold for 30 minutes, I explained again about the fridge. The lady had a strong accent so it was hard to communicate with her, but she assured me the parts would be covered. The next day a service tech came and said the motor and the fan needed to be replaced and quoted a price of $425. + we had to pay for a $89. Serice call total of $514. The tech informed us that he had been running across this issue several times, stating that before or right at the 1 year manufactured warranty the LG motors were going bad. Well I thought I bought a reliable Kenmore fridge? I then called sears back and they basically said too bad because you didn't purchase the extended warranty. I didn't think I needed to buy it because most refrigerators last longer than a year??? I am not done yet I want the thing repaired for free my money back. I think they knew exactly what was going on and I am ready to fight for what I think is right. I can't pay $500. For a new refrigerator every year, someone has to take responsibility!!!!!

Purchased a Kenmore Elite 3 Door 9/14/17. On 8/22/19 I noticed that the ice maker was not making ice. The next day items in the freezer were beginning to defrost. Called Sears Repair on 8/24/19 and they gave us a date of 9/10/19 for the technician to "diagnose" the problem although we kept telling them that we were sure it was the compressor. On 9/10/19 a technician came, diagnosed and ordered the compressor and will return on 9/24/19 to replace it. That's 4 weeks to get this issue resolved, all the while we are living out of coolers and replacing ice every day. We have called Sears several times to get an earlier appointment, which they assured us was a possibility and were met with nothing but frustration. Same thing with their Complaint Dept., my husband spent 1 1/2 hours on the phone with them, nothing was resolved. This is disgraceful and we will never purchase anything from Sears again. I feel everyone's pain. I want a new refrigerator, from all comments it seems that the problems have only begun.

Kenmore Elite 73033 795.73033.410 - purchased in September 2015 and it died September 2019. I wasted three hours calling Sears and affiliates to schedule service tech. Service center in Philippines was awful. It will take a week for tech to look at the compressor. I am guessing it will be $350 on labor based on Sears estimate. Like everyone, I lost a lot of valuable food and I have to buy mini-fridge to keep household running. I called local repairmen but they said only Sears can fix it under warranty. They also told me this is a widespread issue and he even knew the model numbers by heart because of the number of calls he gets. I will never buy LG or Sears appliances again. Compressor should not fail after four years of basic household use. Repairmen recommended Whirlpool family of products but next time I will do even more research. We have basic fridges 20-30 years old in the break rooms at work!

I purchased a Kenmore refrigerator November 2017 and June 2019 the LG compressor failed. Since, it's not an Elite Sears will not cover repair. I would be out $1100 for repair. The only reason I did not get an Elite was I wanted smudge proof on the doors and the Elite did not have it at that time, everything other than the Elite tag is the same. I am now in the process of purchasing a new refrigerator! I will have over $4000 in refrigerators in two years. Complaint has been file with The State Attorney General.

Purchased my Kenmore refrigerator ( 795.72493.611 ) less than two years ago and it died. The repair said the compressor gone bad. Call Sears they would be able to ilook at it in a month. A MONTH! I spoke to a local repair shop and they've seen nothing but issues with the linear compressors. I saw Theresa recall on some of the LG and Kenmore refrigerator but it should be all with linear compressors.

My complaints is the same as the rest 2 weeks for a repair, then
24 hrs later no frig again. Lots of food gone to the garbage. Spending extra money on take out or restaurants. I don't want a
repair, I want money back for this lemon !!
If I cant get my frig working, or compensation, this class action
law suit is long winded. But I want compensated for a new
frig.

9 weeks to get our sears 2 and a half year old Kenmore Elite refrigerator repaired. I called scheduled they called rescheduled another week and a half out said the tech called in sick 1 day equals 10 days. Since it was in the middle of our vacations rescheduled, told them we had it checked out by another company, he said it was a compressor and only a sears tech could do the warranty on the compressor. Sears tech came out said it was the compressor, but didn't have the parts, he ordered them, rescheduled, he called to make sure the parts came in they had not, ordered them again, rescheduled, he called and they had arrived misspelled name right address. Postal lady knew us and the problems we were having so she delivered. Tech shows up installed, we waited 2 weeks on the advise of the tech, he showed us a letter that LG was replacing multiple compressor with single compressor seems this was a list of compressor they were having problems with. $450 to get it fixed under warranty make sure you get the new compressor, the old models may last a week to a couple of years according to the tech.

Purchased a LG side by side from Sears in 2017. Ice Maker has already quit working and the gear is still on and can't turn it off, so I'm sure that will burn up next. I thought we shopped and bought a product to last and had good reviews. Last LG product I ever purchase. I just want my ice maker fixed and tired of mopping water that leaks through the dispenser, that is going to ruin my new floors.

My LG refrigerator has been giving me an error code E Com and I had a sears tech come out to tell me there is a bad wire in the door and it would cost $1100 to replace the door. That is absurd the fridge is almost new. I see others have had the same problem...why isn't there a recall?

I purchased my Kenmore Elite, Grab and Go, Side by Side, Stainless steel, Counter Depth, model 51683, refrigerator around 7/17/2017 and the compressor went out on around August 9, 2019. This is around 2 years and 1 month. If the linear compressor goes out the first year, the limited warranty states that Sears will replace the compressor and cover all the workmanship. Else, they will cover the compressor I believe but the customer has to incur all other costs which can easily run into $500- up to a thousand +.
They know and knew about the bad compressor yet sold it to us and said customer be damned if you did not buy the extended warranty and I did not. I spent around $2000 because I thought this Kenmore, knowing it was made by LG, was such a good product. Both LG and Sears scammed us because they are not being accountable. They did not have a problem selling these products so they should not have had a problem bringing out the repairman and fixing all customers refrigerators at their cost.
For those that are interested there is an LG CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT pending. Unsure if it will be ruled to go to court. The lawyers are looking for litigants. And you can find and read about in on FACEBOOK or simply search ONLINE using the search argument "LG Class Action Lawsuit. I do not know if Sears will be implicated in it or not. (they should be).
I contacted Sears, Rob Barker, Vice President Customer Experience and the Sears "EXECUTIVE COMPLAINT" department. I did receive a call back, but the lady at the EC Department who called me has been simply giving me the runaround. She called wanting to know how she could help me yet she did not want to help me. She really did not care. She did Schedule and called out rigsa Sears repair person to look at my refrig (I had already called out a repair person and paid him who diagnosed a failed linear compressor) and pretended that I would not have to pay...but guess what? the Sears Serviceman asked me about payment...so that told me she lied. She is trying to hold me to the "Limited Warranty" whereby I am out of pocket on all costs except for the compressor. I say BUYERS BEWARE of paying to install that new compressor..
Many who did replace the compressor have wound up with more problems. Truth be known...."STAY AWAY FROM LG Refrigs.
I personally am not going to invest anymore money into my Kenmore. As of this date, I do not have a working refrigerator, I have lost all of my food. I tried to save it by buying coolers and spending $10-$12 a day for ice. I have given up on this because the ice lasts 24 hrs and less. And having to get the ice daily has started to add up. It has been 7 days and I am no close to a solution with Sears or LG..been talking with both of them. Sears really does not seem to care. As a matter of fact, they are dealing with BANKRUPTCY . There are hundreds if not thousands of people like us who are dealing with failed units (fRIGs) because of these bad compressors.
It appears that we are stuck but I do try to get the companies to do the right thing. We as a community need to apply a lot of pressure on them. There are literally thousands of us who have been victimized. , I too will never buy anther SEARS PRODUCT! There was a time when Sears products were good, reliable and would last seemingly forever. IT does seem that Long gone are those days.

I purchased a complete Kenmore Elite black stainless bundle (refrigerator, oven, microwave, dishwasher, washer, dryer) in 2017. The refrigerator alone was $2400 and now after just over 2 years the compressor is shot. Sears service said the soonest appointment we could get to "diagnose" the problem was 5 weeks out. We can't go 5 weeks without a refrigerator. Called local service technician and he confirmed compressor is bad and his advice was to junk this refrigerator and buy a different brand because the new compressor (which we would have to pay labor to install) would also most likely fail in 2 years. This is just WRONG that Sears knows of this problem, continues to sell these faulty products and does not take care of the customers when the products fail.

We, like many, many others have a failed LG French Door refrigerator after just 17 months. So far 2 compressors, the condenser and dryer and freon have all been replaced. Last compressor just Friday, 8/9/19. Since last visit no longer dispensed ice or water and makes loud noise...these last 3 are all new since last tech visit. Have to wait until the 19th for another tech to come out to "diagnose"issue and of course he will have no parts so that means more part orders and waiting for the next available appointment. This 10 day wait was supposed to be and "expedited" appointment. We have been without our refrigerator since the middle of June and I am at my wits end. If there is class action, what do we need to be part of it? I have lost all confidence in LG and their Sears repair techs. Unfortunately, they are the only certified techs in our area....seriously??

Purchased a Kenmore Elite Refrigerator in 8/2016, the compressor is out at exactly 3 years. Having to pay for the tech to install the new compressor based on their warranties. Highly recommend staying away.

My LG French door refrigerator with bottom freezer bought from Sears November 2013 so it lasted almost 6 years BUT now I'm not eligible for the recent five year extension on covering the labor LG recently came out with. From everyone's comments it sounds like quite a hassle to try to get it repaired. I paid $2,760 for it; now I don't know whether to try to get it repaired or buy a new one. I live in a rural area so distance would probably increase the uncovered labor charges!

I bought a Kenmore Elite 73133 refrigerator in May 2015. This unit is made by LG. The linear compressor recently failed and according to my product manual the linear compressor is suppose to have a 10 year warrantee with free replacement. I am being charged for a replacement compressor. Sears Kenmore refuses to honor the warrantee specified in my owners manual.

This refigerator Kenmore elite Not even 2 years old and compressor already broke. Those korean compressors Kenmore is using are garbage. Don’t buy LG products.
Now I’m waiting for sears technician and it’s been a week and they keep taking their time.
I’m gonna be paying like $800 for labor.
Still they gonna put the same faulty compressor but new that’s gonna last 18 months.
Is it worth it?

My Sears 3 door Model 74025, purchased 2015, $2,500; compressor died over a week ago; lost approx. $600 worth of fresh/frozen food; Sears sent repair tech out today, charged $109; he admitted he knew it would be compressor, but would not have one for 2 -3 weeks "if we are lucky". He suggested we buy a "back-up" fridge to keep in garage for cases like this, as refrigerators are not made like they used to be. In doing research, this compressor is known by both Sears & LG to be faulty and there have been previous class action lawsuits related to the compressor.

My experience is similar to others.... Our 4 yo LG side by side died due to faulty compressor. LG ran remote diagnostics using my cell found and found nothing wrong, even though I was standing in a puddle of defrosted food juices. They said we had the door open too long the day prior. Really? They obviously know the problems, yet lie to their customers. We are still waiting for repair. I'm being told the compressor is on back order so it could be a while. Meantime we are living out of a camping cooler and replacing the ice every day. No help has been offered to reimburse us for the cooler or the ice. Minimal amount has been offered for lost food, which doesn't even come close to what it actually costs. LG is totally unresponsive to the needs of their consumers.

I bought an Kenmore fridge from Sears January 2017 and by July 2019 I need a new fridge. My fridge barely lasted two years. Been going back and forth with Sears but basically I out almost $1000. I never perchase anything else from Sears or Kenmore/LG.

My Kenmore Elite refrigerator purchased July 2019 stopped working over 2 weeks (now going onto 3 weeks) ago and since I have extended warranty, I placed a call for service. It took over an hour to get through only to speak to someone outside of the US and with a heavy accent whom I could not understand. I finally somehow was able to get an appointment scheduled. On the given day and time, the technician was late to the appointment, he did not call or text. Upon arriving, he ran a few diagnostics and reset the circuit board. He mentioned these go bad all the time. After resetting the circuit board, he said it start working and would take 24-48 hours. I was just not convinced and asked him to order a new circuit board, which he reluctantly did. The part arrived but I had to wait few days before it would be installed. The technician came and this time, he was over 2 hours late, no call or text. He replaced the part and mentioned that it may not work and something major could be wrong. Same thing, if working, it would be 24-48 hours. It is not working. I have an appointment today but just got a call from the technician that he is delayed and may not come. Technician did not show, his reason was he was overbooked, he was tired and it was too late. I am beyond frustrated with Sears.

We also bought a Kenmore Elite Bottom Freezer Refrigerator from Sears on Oct 11, 2011 on July 4th 2019 the compressor went out and was verified by our personal technician. We contacted Sears and were told that we had to call LG. Lg said we had to contact Sears. We had at least 10 calls between Sears as well as the same amount to LG. Then I did some investigating on my own and found the MAGNUSON-MOSS WARRANTY LAW.

This law states that LG as the warranter of the compressor for 10 years they are required to service and replace for free. They cannot tie in service with Sears because it is PROHIBITED under Magnuson-Moss. We called Sears Corporate and told them that they needed to send us a compressor now and advised them of Magnuson-Moss. After back and forth we are being shipped a new compressor as I write this. Oh and you can have it serviced by who you want. No Sears visit for $99.00 to take a picture of the LG label and wait 3 weeks for the part to come and another $500.00-$1000.00 for installation.

My girlfriend started with a post about Sears on FACEBOOK. People believe me that they do monitor Facebook and will respond in kind from corporate. I hope that you find this as useful and good luck in your endeavors. Please look up Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act on the web, or contact a Consumer Protection Attorney for consultation.

We did this on our own and armed with the right information you can do it too.

Bought a L.G fridge freezer in November 2016. June 2019 does not work, lost everything in it. Called LG customer service right away. Took 1 week to get someone to look at it. Technician says it is the compressor and 3 other parts. Orders parts, parts come in 3 days, takes another week to get technician out to fix it. They cannot give you a set time. Have to stay in all day.
Also bought a stove in December 2016 and hope it works for a good long time as I have read they are giving out too and customers are being charged to have them repaired.
I hope LG and Sears is taken to task over this and have to honor a much longer warrantee and have a recall on all their defective appliances.

I bought my Kenmore grab and go refrigerator in 2016 pair 1600.dollars for it and now 3 years later it has quit completely. This makes it he second one I have bought in the past 10 years. I have bought Sears appliances ever since we got married. I called and was told they couldn’t get to me till next week and I would have to pay 99 dollars just for them coming out. After reading what everyone has gone thru, I don’t know if I want them to come out now. I can not pay another 500 to 1000 dollars. We are retired and just don’t have that much to waste on them. I think we would be better off going somewhere els. This has had me so worried and sick to think how low Sears has got.

My Kenmore Elite 74015 30.6 cu. ft. French Door Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator - Finger Print Resistant Active Finish ssin: 04674015000P, salescheck: 093002073989. purchased on September 16th, 2016 and delivered. SEP 20th, 2016 with home delivery and installation, has just failed to cool on July 9th, 2019. The compressor is not running. The food heated up and I have thrown everything out as it could be dangerous to consume. The compressor is supposed to be under warranty for 10 years, but I have heard complaints that there is $150 dollar service fee for the technician to come out and confirm the issue is the compressor. Then several weeks for the part to come in and then $300 or more to pay the labor for installation of the warranted part (I did not buy the extended service plan at the time of purchase) and then potential additional service issues and additional compressor failures after this is repaired. Is this covered under the recall? I am pretty sure I just got rooked on a lemon model and manufacturer compressor issue that has effected numerous consumers and should be a class action suit if not recalled and replaced. I always bought appliances from Sears and even worked at one location as one point. I am highly disturbed by this. I paid for a premium appliance to get a better value and longevity of my appliance and it hasn't lasted 3 years of normal use.

We bought an LG french door and 6/7/19 the compressor went out. After many phone calls daily to LG and them trying to fix it over the phone I lost hundreds of dollars in food. It took weeks to get a repair man here and he diagnosed the bad compressor and said he would have to order it and wouldn't be able to come back for another 2 weeks (due to that was the first available appt.). Well he came back today and told us the wrong compressor was sent (wrong number on the compressor) and he would have to re-order the correct one and wouldn't be able to come back until 7/25/19. I have never been so disgusted with the lack of a company trying to resolve an issue. 1ST they sell a faulty product, then they send out a repair company of 3 they use that then orders the wrong part and yet I am the one still suffering thru the summer without. They could have sent a new one by the time this 8 weeks expires and pray this gets resolved then! Worst experience ever with customer service!!!

I have a kenmore/LG trio refrigerator purchased in 2016. I just had to pay 500 for a new inverter- after waiting more than 2 weeks for the part, I have to pay another 250 for another board that the new inverter says was not working. repair company is saying that even that may not fix the unit as it may need a compressor. Great after 2.5 I will have spent almost as much to fix it as it cost in the first place.

Sears tech just came out - I could literally copy and paste the response made by martin polland. We purchased May of 2016 3 years and 1 month later compressor dies. Tech put his hand on the compressor and said it was way too hot. Set up the system and said there is no pressure. Estimate he gave me for parts and labor is $1,100. 795.51833.411 Side by Side Kenmore Elite Compressor is made by LG Compressor is the LG-FLB075LANA (R134a- Linear Compressor)

I purchase a Kenmore elite refrigerator in 2016 3 yrs. later it failed
the sears teck. put his hand on the compressor and said the cost to repair would be $800. It took him all of 10 minutes, he said there is a leak in the sealed system. I asked him to check for the leak he said It would be a waist of time because the leak was very small.

I purchased the whole Elite Series of Kenmore appliances in 2014 along with the extended warranties and in December 2018 while cooking Christmas Dinners my oven went completely out so far I have had to fix the stove myself because sears informed me they had no longer anyone in my area to repair it and everyone wants to charge an arm and a leg so I followed a u tube video and narrowed it down to the electronic board and fix it for a little over $500 and now in May 2019 my refrigerator all of a sudden quit working overnight. I still have the paper affixed to the inside of the fridge. It is freaking brand new and I paid some man over $300 for 4.5 hrs and paid $330 for a new control board to try and diagnose the problem and it seems that its not the control board or the fan. It's the compressor . This is freaking pitiful!!! I still have no refrigerator. Poor appliances. Do not purchase Kenmore or LG.

my Kenmore Pro refrigerator has broken 6 times in 1 year. First a compressor at under 2 years (which by the way took Sears 2 months to obtain a new part!) , then another compressor, then evaporator parts... Twice the technician installed the parts and the fridge still doesn't work! I contacted our local news agency as this is just ridiculous... worst product ever and worst customer service ever.

I purchased my frig Feb. 2015. Kenmore Elite with LG technology. Diagnosed with failed sealed system and compressor. LG is willing to fix it per our repair serviceman but Sears is unwilling to release the serial number so LG can authorize a work order number. Sears states we have to use their technician or the manufacturer warranty is null in void. We made an appointment with Sears technician but they failed to show up. The next appointment was 3 weeks away so we hired a repair service that came out much quicker. We did not purchase a Sears service agreement so how can they just null in void a manufacture warranty for the parts contained in the frig by another company?

Purchased Kenmore Elite in November 2015 and it stopped cooling in less than 4 years. It is the compressor. Model 795.74025.411

Bought a package sunday special. Elite Fridge, Oven, Microwave and Dishwasher. All have failed except oven. Fridge quits cooling and freezing. Stuck @ $1000.00 in parts and labor not including the lost food and suffering. Our service tech from a local LG company is baffeled. Let me know if a lawsuit if being filed.

We also purchased a Kenmore Elite three door refrigerator, model No. 795.74023.411 on 8/7/2015. Last year (5/18) we had to replace the compressor and condenser. Fortunately, it was still under warranty but it still cost $469 for the labor, etc.

Our refrigerator went out again today due to the same problem. I have been waiting on hold for about an hour to schedule a technician, and it will probably take about two weeks for the first step and another 2 weeks to install the part.

This is so frustrating and I feel like Sears is exhorting labor funds for faulty appliances and parts!

I bought a Kenmore Elite 12/04/2015 for $2,872.58. I had the 3 year extended warranty which expired 12/07/2018. In May 2019 the compressor leaked out all the Freon. Call Sears they want money and get in a monthly paying program to get service contract. I have model#
79574025.411. Also I have heard that these were build in Korea and they were meant to have butane not the Freon. LG and Kenmore need to be made accountable. Shame on them!

Does anyone know if the LFXS30766 model included in this? I purchased this POS from a Sears store and it failed three months in and has continued to fail. The extended warranty has expired so now I am paying out of pocket for the same repairs. LG nor Sears will act. Sears will not because they know that LG knows there is a defect in the compressor. LG wants to pass along the fault to the place of purchase. Either way it is bad business practice and the consumer needs relief.

I have model number LMXC23746S. Same issues. At 3months thethermostat/ice maker died (covered). At 1 year and 1 month some motherboard issue ($400). Now a cooling issue. It's a LEMON!

Approximately six years ago, we purchased a complete kitchen package of Kenmore Elite products - refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and stove. We have had issues with the microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator - especially the refrigerator. We are currently without and we called Sears thinking it might be a warranty repair. We were put on the emergency list - that means a service repairman will be out in a week - unbelievable. No wonder Sears went bankrupt. I am in if there is a class action suit.

I have a house full of lg appliances and have had problems with all of them resulting in repair or replacement.
The first being a he front load washer which after just a couple years the spider arm on the back of the drum completely corroded/rotted and broke. I then paid for extended warranty through sears and scheduled a day for repair tech to come to my house. I had to take a day off of work as they can not give you a specific time for appointment but say the service tech will arrive between 9am and 4 pm. So the day I took off for the scheduled appointment I was outside of my home and missed a phone call when I got in and reviewed my messages it was the repair tech stating he was calling to confirm the appointment and if I don’t call him back within 10 min to confirm, he would have to reschedule . I immediately called back, however no answer and tech never showed up.
I then called and had appointment rescheduled only to lose another days pay. The tech tore apart the washer took weeks for the parts to come in and he installed new drum and spider, within 1.5 yrs the new spider completely corroded and broke
I then replaced the front loader with whirlpool model. Let me just say I co Robie to use a 35yr old top loader as back up in my basement without any issues.
In regards to the fridge. I came home to soaking wet floors beneath my fridge and it took a while to figure out where the water was coming from that ruined my wood flooring.
Long story short, it was the ice maker failing to dump the ice cubes from the tray which I believe was related to the ice tray mold heating element not working. When the tray would turn to dump the cubes would not fall out. When the tray rotated back to the position to fill with water the water would begin its attempt to fill the tray, however the ice cubes from previous cycle were
Still in the tray causing all the water to pour across the ice tray/cubes and into the freezer and out on the floor. I have since disconnected the ice maker and have been filling ice trays the old fashioned way. Someday when I get the extra $150-220 I will order the new replacement ice maker after I have replaced the warped flooring.
If there are any class action suits related to any of these issues or other junk lg products such as oven, microwave, and dryer, please alert me .

My LG refrigerator has died twice (compressor failed twice) withing 4 years since it was purchased. AVOID BUYING LG products. It's a scam.... they offer their repair service which will cost you $300 each time to repair... in my case it is every year thing and LG customer care is not willing to help in any way.
LG - Life is not good with LG products

I am currently in the same situation. I purchased a Kenmore Elite refrigerator from Sears on July 2016 for $2300 (Model 795.74023.411). Just a month ago it stopped working. I have been calling every week trying to schedule a Technician to check it out. Because the fridge is still under warranty in order for the parts to be covered I was told a Sear Technician needed to diagnose it. Every time I call I get the run around between departments. It is just ridiculous how much I have had to go through to get a technician. Never buying a Sears, Kenmore, LG product!

I bought a Kenmore Elite 3 door refrigerator in 2012 (model 795.72043.110) and last week it stopped cooling. I pulled off the back cover and it has an LG compressor. I didn't spend Kenmore Elite money to get an LG but that's a different story. I talked to a local repair guy who said that he heard there is now a recall on these compressors but I can't find anything. He also said that since Sears has to replace the compressor since it is under warranty, they overcharge on the labor to offset it. Sears wanted $300 more for labor costs than my local guy. Guess how much a new compressor is? $300. I spent 3 hours on the phone getting bounced between Kenmore, Sears and LG and my call "dropped" four different times. They know they have a bad design, yet they don't stand behind it and just replace it with the same crappy compressor. The local guy told me that I should expect the new compressor to last 3-5 years. Ridiculous!!! Please add me if/when a lawsuit comes up.

We purchased a Kenmore Elite Grab and Go refrigerator from Sears in April of 2015. Last week our ice maker stopped working, and then a few days later the frig and freezer both stopped working. We contacted sears and was told that our warranty had expired. Sears scheduled a repair man to come out the following week, and offered us a warranty plan stating that we could pay $49 a month, with a $99 deductible, with parts covered and labor for up to $500. We accepted the plan. Even then because Sears does not do repairs on the weekend, therefore we had to spend $160 on a small freezer to salvage as much of our frozen food as possible. The following Monday we waited for the repair man for most of the day. Our appointment time was between 1pm and 5pm. The Sears repair man did not show up until around 6pm. He then informed us that our compressor was bad and that it would take a week for the repair work to be done. He then told us that we were expected to pay $99 for the visit, plus $146 dollars because the repair job exceeded the $500 limit. This information was slightly different from what we had been told by the person who sold us the warranty plan. When we called back a different representative told us that Sears only covers up to $500 for the total repair job. When I complained about the misinformation the warranty person on the phone offered me $500 towards the purchase of a new refrigerator from Sears. Is he kidding. Our frig is only 4 years old! To add insult to injury, the repair person told us "Your compressor is an LG compressor and these things are dropping like flies". When I questioned him about the brand of the replacement part, he informed us that he would be replacing the compressor with another LG compressor. I have been on the phone with Sears several times the past few days complaining about my refrigerator not working. Twice the warranty person on the phone attempted to schedule a walk through to sell us a new AC unit. Yet its been a week and our refrigerator still does not work. In addition to a small freezer we had to go out last night to purchase a small refrigerator. I called the corporate office this morning and was sent back to the same customer service number. Its frustrating because the English of the people we spoke with is not very good. The agents sound very rehearsed and appear to experts at not solving your problems.

OMG, done with sears. It took them two weeks to diagnose and send parts to install new condenser and compressor, and then they failed to show up for my appointment and gave me a new appointment 10 days later!! We paid 3rd party to come and install parts and the new compressor was dead!! Customer service is just a bunch of dopes and you never get anywhere. Going out to buy a new refrigerator today, and I can assure you it wont be Kenmore or LG!!!!

Purchased Kenmore Elite with LG compressor lasted 2.5 years. Since then it has been a down hill spiral with so many problems. I've lost so much food since my purchase and have spent out so much money trying to keep this junk alive and working. Someone needs to be held accountable!

I have the LG Studio, serial number LSFXC2476S, which I purchased on 8/27/16. Went out of town to come home to a putrid smelling home, because the unit stopped cooling and spoiled all of my food , fridge and freezer, at a minimum over $500 worth of food. Yet my temp reading still said -3 / 33.... but hot as all get out. Never would I thought that an Premium fridge such as this would stop working less than 3 yrs after purchase. Now I'm reading about faulty compressors and other things. I never received a recall notice or anything. I really believe this is unacceptable and something should be done. I have a warranty but they will get back to me within 2days.... yes I said 2days....so what am I supposed to do in the meantime. Unbelievable!

I purchased a Kenmore Elite (79575043610) when I built my house. The builder that did my house had Sears as the appliance supplier unfortunately. The refrigerator completely stopped cooling 1 year and 5 days after purchase.
I contacted Sears to have a diagnosis done. The tech came out and told me the control board needed to be replaced and it would be $700. Having done research I knew it was likely the compressor given the experiences everyone else has had. He also gave me some story about my cabinets affecting the air flow, which was total BS. There is more than enough space between the refrigerator and the cabinetry around it. After a lot of back and forth I told him to leave and did not want him to replace the control board.
I contacted an appliance repair man who came out and he immediately said it was the compressor. He laughed when I told him that Sears wanted to replace the control board.
The bottom line is the compressor is the only thing under warranty so they are going to try every other component at the customers expense before ever admitting it was the compressor.
It's clear why they are going out of business. I am now looking at having a different brand of compressor put in which should hopefully solve my issue. But it's beyond to pay $2500 for a refrigerator that lasts 1 year. Ridiculous.
When there is inevitably a class action lawsuit sign me up.

Our refrigerator (model # LMXS30776S) is just over 3 1/2 years old, and this will now be the 7th time we've had it fail. Just last month, we had to have the ice maker replaced because of a leak. Five months ago, the evaporator, drier and ice maker assemblies were replaced as it was not cooling. The year before that we had to have the compressor and evaporator replaced along with a repair to the ice maker, losing a vast majority of our food in the process. Now, not only is the ice maker not working, but the fridge won't cool below 52 degrees. Based on all of the complaints and class action lawsuits that have surfaced, this is a widespread problem that needs to be remedied. History would suggest that we will be in the same position in another 6 months down the road.
This isn't just about our personal situation. Based on all the complaints filed through different media outlets, this has affected thousands, if not tens of thousands of consumers. LG needs to be held liable for the damages they have caused.

Refrigerator delivered, as a replacement for same model, on 5/23/15. This Refrigerator quit working on 2/23/19.
Sears repair man came 2/25/19. Said problem was compressor, that compressor was covered under warranty, but labor to replace would be $445.00. Totally not acceptable. This replacement refrigerator was to replace same model that was broken for more than a month and Sears could not figure out how to fix it. American Express took the money back from Sears for the unfixable refrigerator and that is when Sears decided to replace the refrigerator with this one that just quit working.
I had another repair call on this refrigerator not long after I received it because the ice and water dispensers were not working. I refused the large estimate to fix it, but a few days later The ice and water dispensers began working again. Now, the whole refrigerator has quit working.

November 2012 I purchased a Kenmore Elite French door refrigerator model 795.71053.014. November 2018 it just stopped cooling. I called Sears, paid the $90 to have repair tech come out. He said, "It's out of Freon, they all so that" He proceeded to tell my husband that it's and LG product and a piece of crap. He said $1200 to repair it. I called Sears and they said they have to fix everything it could be before they would replace compressor!! This is a $2500+ refrigerator that make it exactly 6 years. The compressor is the only part still under warranty. I want it replaced or repaired. How can I find help?

My husband purchased Kenmore Elite #795.72483.410 in Oct 2015 for my birthday . The refrigerator just made 3 years old and has conked out. My husband doesn’t understand how I could not have known this thing was a P.O.S before we purchased as I research everything down to the wire. I discover that this KENMORE ELITE name, which I know and trust and buy for its quality and performance and durability/dependability , is just on the outside when it’s actually an LG. I AM. So disappointed, being a stroke survivor on a. VERY limited income. LG KNOWN by another name...KENMORE ELITE.

On October 13, 2017, we purchased a Kenmore Elite refrigerator and on September 26, the compressor died. After many calls, the technician finally confirmed in late October that the compressor was dead and she ordered the parts. Fast forward to January 28, when the parts arrived, the technician installed the new compressor. After 2 days, the unit was still not cooling. Jan 20, 2018 - just called for another service call to have it repaired and the next available service date is March 13, 2019. Obviously, we had to spend another $2400 for a new LG as the Kenmore is now a "permanent fixture" in the garage.Thank goodness I bought a Protection Agreement, so the major frustration is that this situation has gone on for almost 6 months. Good thing Sears is in bankruptcy, as I will never buy another Sears product.

My LG French Door Refrigerator is 3 years old. It just stopped cooling. We tried cleaning the coils and is still didn't work. We called different repair places in the area and no will work on LG Refrigerators. We called Sears and they will work on them, but we have to wait a month and a half for a repairman to come out. It's a good thing we have a little frig in our garage. We have already been without a frig in the house for two weeks. How can I get in on this lawsuit. My frig model is LFXS30766/86. It is pretty bad when no one will work on them. The repair places around here stopped because they would replace parts and the frig still didn't work.

Our LG is 2 years old. Compressor went out. Lost all of our food. Repairmen in area declined to work on them (recommended by LG) and now we are waiting on one to travel over 3 hours to our home to replace the compressor, saying that it is the problem. At first they were going to give us a new one and now they have decided that we don't need a fridge for another week (3 weeks total). What is going on? If they know that it has a problem, why not pull all of them and make the correct part replacement before selling them. Last LG appliance I will buy. One LG rep was as rude as rude could be.

Purchased a Kenmore Elite, model 79574023412 in 2016. A french door, bottom freezer made by LG, which I didn't know or I wouldn't have bought it. It replaced a "cheap" fridge that was still working 10 years after we bought it. However in less than two years the compressor died on our new expensive Kenmore elite. Due to the volume of these fridges dying it took 6 weeks to even get a sears repairmen to come look at it and another 6 weeks to get the parts in due to the backorder backlog. 3 months without a fridge! We lived out of coolers for 2 weeks until a "cheap" fridge we purchased arrived.

Eventually the kenmore elite was fixed. However yesterday, just 4 months later it has died again. Now waiting for the repairmen again. Thankfully we still have that backup fridge to use.

Do not buy Kenmore Elite or LG french door bottom freezer fridges. They are complete lemons! Why isn't there a new class action to refund everyone that purchases these piles of garbage? Sears is bankrupt, but Kenmore and LG have responsibility.

We have been very dissatisfied with Sears for giving us the run around about who made Kenmore Elite. We had to pay for two service calls for same problem and refrigerator still wouldn't freeze. We had to end up buying another refrigerator in only 1 1/2 years and had to pay over $700 for repairs. We are out of $5,000.00.

model # 795.72049.112, compressor went out today and we lost a lot of food. Purchased 5/10/13, and we have had to go purchase another refrigerator. We were told this is a bad compressor by LG. Is there anyway we can get some money back towards another refrigerator? Sears products and LG as gone down hill. Something needs to be done.

Our fridge went out 1 year 5 months after we bought it. It also was the compressor. Not covered under the warranty which is good for 1 year. Lg compressor has a 7 year warranty but not when it has a kenmore label on it. 1000 dollars to have it fix. 795.72493.611 was the model number.

Purchased Kenmore Elite 3 door refrigerator Model# 795.73133.410 October 2016 paid $2010 on sale from Sears. On November 13,2018 ice maker stopped working and food in freezer started thaw Out. Used troubleshooting guide and was able to get ice maker to turn over ice and reset the settings as guide suggested freezer started freezing again.
The next morning everything in freezer was thawed out. Threw out all food in refrigerator and now is not cooling at all. Seems like it cools some but no air flowing. Called sears on November 15,2018 thinking could use sears connect for diagnostics. Was told refrigerator no longer under warranty and would need to pay $99 for repair diagnostics. Was told it would be a week for someone to come out. I believe this model from what I am reading under reviews needs to be a part of this lawsuit. My wife just losther job and not sure how I will pay for repairs, bought a Kenmore because I knew it was a good product did not know I was buying an LG.

I purchased my LG Refrigerator late December 2017 it was pu you in service 1/1/2017 Model No. LFXS24623S about 4 months later the Ice Maker stopped working and was replaced. In September 2018 the Ice Maker and Water Dispenser stopped working I called in to my LG Warranty amount and was given Claim #1403xxxx about an hour later my wife told me everything in the Freezer was thawed I called back added that to the problem. It is now November 7,2018 a Sears repairman came out after another Service Company was out 3 times and they got my water dispenser working but the unit still wasn’t cooling they said that another complaint file would have to be started before they could replace the defective compressor. I need help

Purchased Kenmore Elite model # 795.72483.411 refrigerator in 2/17, within 6 months the fan motor was making a noise due to ice forming on the back of the freezer. Repairman came and steamed all of the ice off of the back and put it back together again. I now have had 3 other service calls all 4-6 months a part for the same issue. They tell me there is no recall for this issue. The fan motor noise becomes so loud you cannot carry on a conversation while standing next to it. The last repairman said to just remove everything and turn it off and let it sit for 24 hours while the ice melts. What??? It is now doing it again for the 5th time and I do not want to pay for another service call. So I guess I will have to unload it for the second time and wait 24 hours. How annoying for a $3000 refrigerator! Sears only offered a 20% discount for the service and I am sure I will have to go back thru the whole ordeal each and every time this happens. I would gladly push this refrigerator to the curb. DO NOT PURCHASE this refrigerator. Sears has TERRIBLE customer service.

My Kenmore Elite is less than 4 years old & has broken for the 3rd time. First a recall, then the ice maker, now it produces no cold air at all. Was told the compressor overheated & refrigerant leaked out. After 3 phone calls to Sears, over an hour of time & getting transferred continuously & speaking with at least 7 people, I’ve been told different things & now I’m told the parts won’t be covered even though my written warranty says 7 years on the compressor. From reading all these comments, the compressor is obviously an issue & should be recalled!

Purchased my Kenmore Elite 795 for $ 2500 in May 2016. Compressor went out a week ago, lost $$$$ worth the food. Terrible service and cost from Sears.
No recourse as I did not buy their extended warranty!!
Sears has gone downhill. Everyone says these refrigerators are defective, even their own repair men. Never will buy another thing from Sears in my life time.
Should be a class action suit.

I own a Kenmore Refrigerator Model Number 10651763510, Serial Number HR662609457, bought in March 10, 2017. The Refrigerator Door Hinge Bushing top door base broke. I look in the Parts Diagrams model, in Internet, and the top door frame or door cover, is not available as a part, the door assemble have to be order. is my concern that the Door Hinge Bushing top door base plastic bracket, cover or part, have broke in 22 month period used. I do not think that 22 month of used is he live time fort that part. My question is, it is a recall for that door condition.
The cost was $1,560.99 and the repair cost is $607.49 the door and on estimate of $100.00 installation, in Puerto Rico. The total repair cost is $706.49 which is 45% of the total Refrigerator Cost, I have to think it over to repair or buy a new one, if it is not a manufacture part recall.

Thanks

We just returned this morning 9/24/2018 from weekend away to a non-working LG fridge. We have no idea how long the fridge has been off, but the entire house stinks. The fridge is just 6 months old, still under LG warranty. We put a thermometer in the fridge and freezer. Both read 60' Fahrenheit. We have photos of the thermometers and of all the defrosted food. The fridge stinks and we have lost over $1000 of food. We were on the phone with Sears and LG customer service in Alabama for over 2 hours. LG has scheduled repair FOUR days from now. When asked what do we do to feed our family of five until then, we were told "we can give you a curtesy $!20 to refund the food loss." When we stated the food loss is over $1000, the rep said "I never said we would cover the food loss, just help with it."

When asked what will be done about the stink (and we manage properties so understand how difficult it is to remove the stink from rotten food in a fridge) we were told "that will take care of itself" which is absolutely not true.

There are so many untruths here and so little responsibility taken by this company. We are completely flabbergasted.

We now have hungry kids, a stinky fridge and house, and paid thousands for what we thought was a reliable appliance.
This is serial number of fridge: 709KRUC36806

I purchased a Kenmore Elite Bottom-Mount refrigerators (7954015411) in March 2016 from the local Sears store in Henrico, Va. I had an independent appliance repairman come on Sunday September 9, 2018. He informed me the compressor needed to be replaced at a total cost of $850.00. Also, he informed me that the condenser was emitting a lot of heat. Through the model number he determined it was made by LG in South Korea. Not knowing how long the new compressor would last, I bought a Whirlpool refrigerator. He suggested that I do not buy the LG and Samsung refrigerators and I agreed.

15 months after my purchase of my Kenmore Elite (Coldspot) Model # 106.51149112 Serial # HR30402756, we started having issues. We purchased the extended warranty through Sears. It covered everything. Every part was replaced, Twice, if not more. We purchased it again the following year, and again. The Sears techs come out, don't know the issue, and replace almost every part, the part being an "unoriginal" fails again, and again, and they keep charging labor and parts, and coming and repairing the same part. It is now 5th year, and I give up. I am not spending another penny on purchasing warranties, or hiring private company technicians to fix this junk. Sears sells JUNK and only warranty it for first 12 months, after that lapses, they push you towards purchasing extended warranty, and abuse the protection to their benefit. It's a scam to sell off the lemon appliances, and I fell in the trap, and now I'm stuck with an appliance which needs quarterly maintenance and repairs. I was better off purchasing a real appliance from Lowe's after the first year this gave me problems. Pay a few hundred dollars more and get from Lowe's -- because Sears and KMart only sell lemons!

My Kenmore Elite 795.740xxx.411 only lasted 2 years and the repair guy said there was a leak in the system. So apparently I bought the unit with a faulty issue and Kenmore knew it from all the complaints I see and did nothing before selling me this unit. Found out it is made by LG which the repair guy said they don't work on LG hmm wonder why

LG model LFX29927ST. Serial # 305KRZH1U677 We purchased this French door refrigerator from a local furniture store currently out of business in 2014. Within 3 years the compressor went bad. Called LG who sent out a repairman a week or so later. He replaced the compressor which cost me around $350. For labor. Within the week I had to call LG once again because it had stopped cooling and they sent another repairman out from Sears who said it needed a condensor as well. Ordered it and another week until the origional repair guy came back and replaced the condensor. This guy informed me this is typical for these LG refrigerators and he does this work at least 1-2 times a week and he said don't be surprised if the replacement doesn't do the same thing because they have not fixed the problem in the replacements. He also informed me that if it was also bad I would still have to pay the labor cost again to have it fixed. So we pray it holds out because that's a chunk of change that we just don't have at the drop of a hat. I already paid around $2400 for the refrigerator. I would really like to be part of any law suit against LG to try to recoup some of our money.

I purchased a LG, French door-in-door, bottom freezer Refrigerator; model # LFXS 24663S, in June of 2015. Last month the freezer stopped working and the ice maker stopped working. I've read a lot of complaints (on facebook ) about these refrigerators breaking down; And how LG has been giving people the run-around.

These refrigerators cost a lot , not to forget the food lost, we're out a lot of money! And LG doesn't care. They should be seriously punished for knowingly putting out defective appliances. Bottom line, I want my $1,979.00. + $350.00 in food cost back!

I too purchased a kenmore elite model 795.740!!!.411 and
after less than 3 years it quit working. Find out now it was made by LG. I would have never purchased if I would have known. Now the only repair guy won't even work on LG. And we are stuck with a fridge that is broke and made by LG that
I was unaware of when I thought I was buying a Kenmore Elite

I purchased a Kenmore (now I'm being told it is an LG,although all material states Kenmore) in October 2017. On Friday 8/10/2018 I came home to an entire fridge and freezer of melted spoiled food. I called Sears Service Saturday and was advised they would send a tech on 8/24. It is still covered under manufactures warranty but does not cover food loss. I freaked out and after much research and 100's of calls had a tech come out on 8/14. They advised me that this is a known issue and it is the compressor. No guarantee it will not break again and the part will not be here until 8/29. This is absolutely unacceptable that this company is not forced to make things right and recall these faulty appliances.

Bought Kenmore Elite refrigerator September 2016. Compressor went out in under 2 years. Only part is covered under warranty. Will cost upwards of $900 to be fixed not counting all the food that was lost and money being spent eating out all meals. I have read so many with the same experience! I am in contact with a lawyer regarding class action. If you have had a similar experience. PLEASE CONTACT ME! I need to prove this is a larger issue then just me!

I purchased Kenmore elite refrigerator model # 75.73157.610 ,Jan.2017. Call for service, the compressor is not working
. Sears service informed me that they don't have any service tech. In my state Delaware. I find this unacceptable and unethical too sell products with no technical assistance available in the state. I'm supposed to have a tech on Saturday coming from Chesapeake Virginia. I have to stay home all day (8) hour window, needless to say I have to throw all meats at a substantial cost to me. I will be purchasing any KENMORE products in the future.

Obviously, nothing has been done to resolve this problems over the years. I too, bought a Kenmore Elite (really LG ) Trio refrigerator, with bottom freezer, in April 2015. Now it's July, 2018. The compressor went bad. 3 years from a fridge. The manufacturer and seller have known about these faulty compressors for OVER A DECADE! You can see by looking online about the failures over and over again. These refrigerators are very expensive to purchase, yet for all these years, nothing has been done to redesign or obviously confront this problem. But I'm sure LG and Sears has raked in Billion of dollars selling these pieces of junk. What scam on the American Consumer this has become. If you are thinking of buying a new fridge, beware of these models for sure. Nothing but heartbreak and compressor failure with these babies. I wish I would have known better.

Purchased a Sears Kenmore Elite Trio, bottom fridge, in April, 2015. Compressor went out, now July, 2018. Fridge cost around $2,000. Sad that foreign made products are made so inferior. I remember when American made fridges lasted for many decade, and are still running today. What a rip off, these foreign products are to the American Consumer. How I long for the good old days, when American made products were made reliable.

We spent $2800 for an LG fridge. Compressor went out 18 months later. Called LG and was given the name of repair company. Spent $629 for labor on repairs (compressor was under warranty). Called LG back to see if they would compensate the labor costs based on the age of the device. Was told by LG that the company (which they referred) I called for repairs was not an LG authorized company.

Very disappointed. Hoping our other 4 LG appliances fair better!

We purchased our Kenmore Elite fridge in June 2016 & had also purchased a 5 year extended warranty Mod#73133. Yesterday we found that it was not working. The
EvOG customer service were not helpful at all. We finally called a technician who informed us that the compressor was done.
How can I join a class action suit in Canada?

I purchased a Kenmore Elite refrigerator in November of 2015. The compressor went out in October of 2017. We were left with over $300 worth of spoiled food that we were never compensated for, even though the extended warranty claims to cover lost food. It is now July 2018 and the refrigerator has gone out again! It's been 9 days since we called to put in a claim to have the refrigerator repaired and they have not sent out a tech who can diagnose the issue. We are now dealing with another refrigerator full of spoiled food! In talking with the tech who came in 2017, he said that the Kenmore Elite refrigerators have had many issues with the compressors failing and that Kenmore and LG are aware of it! I've never paid as much for a refrigerator as I did for this one and I've never had any issues with any other refrigerator that I have ever owned but this one! THIS THING IS A LEMON! Kenmore/LG are aware of it and they need to replace these units!

Purchased grab-n-go kenmore elite in June 2016 for @ 2000 795-79033.411. ( on sale with bundle appliances) in July 2018 it quit working.lost all my food. Called sears and “ emergency “ appointment set up for week later! Paid 50.00 for tech ( from another company) to tell me couldn’t be fixed, was sealed system failure. 2nd tech ( from another company) said same thing but didn’t charge me. I’m senior on social security. Rented a small fridge ( 60.00 for 2 weeks). After reading everything I can find on internet, I think I’m screwed!

We purchased a Kenmore Elite (LG Mfrd) French Door, Freezer on the bottom refrigerator in April 2015, with a 3 year warranty. Last Monday, 7/9/18 the unit failed and stopped cooling, causing both the refrigerated and freezer sections to actually get warmer than room temperature. Called Sear Service and was told the soonest someone could come out was 5 days later! Needless to say all the food was lost. Not having any faith in Sears any longer, I had an Abt Service Tech come out, and the unit was diagnosed as having a sealed system compressor failure which would cost between $1200 to $1500 to repair! Totally unbelievable that a top-of-the-line unit would fail after 3 years. Model #795.74013.410

RE; KENMORE ELITE PURCHESED 2011.. MODEL 7957253

I have been on the phone at least 24 hours, transferred to one person after the other from the phillipines to the usa. telling they didn't have a supervisor. on duty. Given me the answer we don't a supervisor on duty..
I have been without a refrigerator freezer for approximately 3 weeks. And yes I had smoke and did not realize where it was coming from
When one morning 5/15/2018 and noticed the milk was warm and water was on the floor. looked at freezer and all the food was soft.
The freezer had gone bad long before I knew about it. I called the service on May 15 and they arranged an appt on May 22. I rescheduled on sun May 17 received may 18.
Bad compressor and another part. received the parts on Thursday May 21.
NOW THE REAL PRROBLEM HAS BEGAIN... The valve was not ordered and is not available. and sears cannot find the part number. I have called LG and asked for the part number and Jenny man, Phillipines, stated she was not allowed not give me the information nor was allowed to give me an answer if she was on the phillipines.
You sold me a lemon and had no intention of mentioning to keep from loosing a lot of money.
I like my refrigerator,, although if you cannot fix it I would like to exchange for same product.
IF that is too much to ask I will go to an attorney ;

My Kenmore Elite model 745 74022 410 has continual
problems. At two months the circuit board was replaced, at present am awaiting compressor and repair to take place.
With the lost of food and no refridgerator or freezer it gets expensive for repairs not to mention incovenience. A Sears customer for many years was hoping for a better product.

I bought a Kenmore grab-and-go Elite in 2016 just a few days ago my compressor failed on it which is made by LG looking over the comments before mine I see that there is a widespread problem with the compressors used in all types of fridges that's Sears associated with I now and being forced to purchase an extended 2 year warranty to go on top of my 5-year Master protection plan because my compressor that is going to be replaced under the warranty on the 12th of this month will be guaranteed to go out within 2 months of my master service plan expiring so I have no choice but to pay $500 plus to get an additional 2 years just so I know this repair will last more than two and a half years it's not right for me to have to do this the only reason I have a master protection plan through Sears is because I spent close to $15,000 in a single transaction and I get sold junk like this... I have argued until I'm blue in the face with a thousand Representatives through Sears LG and Sears Kenmore Department which are all pretty much tied together and they are making it where you have to replace your fridge within 3 years every three years because they are trying to drum up business bye making us customers that stuck with them through the possible closures and shutting down of all locations we get treated like this and then to kick me while I'm down they offer me $160 in points on my Shop Your Way account to put towards a mini fridge to get me by until the repairs can be done 2 weeks later but there are no fridges available whatsoever on Sears website for my town that will make it to the store or to my house before my fridge will be repaired so to add insult to injury they give me $160 I can't use which infuriates me even more and being told when I bought the items that they would last me 15 plus years but yet they already knew the refrigerator wood fell within the first 3 years but proceeded to tell me it would last me 15 plus years and nobody can step up to the plate and make this right I asked for a replacement fridge not a repair 2 weeks later because of the fact that there will be a smell that develops from my fridge sitting not being used for over 2 weeks but yet the charges that I would have to pay if it wasn't covered under warranty would be $950 plus they gave me $300 towards food loss and that hundred and sixty dollars but to just give me a new fridge of the same model which is now reduced in price by half due to all it's bad reviews it's only $1,200 now but do the math they will spend $100 more not to give me a new fridge that's BS and I hope that the right person sees this post and brings all this to light on a national level because Sears needs to be shut down and penalized 4 their wrongdoing and lying and misleading and forcefully making customers K obscene amount of money for repairs my repair states that the compressor is $424.91 but if I were to order it on the site myself and get it shipped to me it's only $350 why can anybody explain because of the fact that they are cheating every system that they possibly can so those of you who had to pay for their repairs I would go back and look how much they charged you and how much the parts actually are because there's about $100 in difference between all of their costs from the repair guy "not including labor" versus their own website!!! They should not be allowed to sell these products stating that they will last 15-plus years when they know they will only last a minimum of three years it's against the law and I hope that this gets brought to light and all of us customers who got duped into believing that we had a good product will be justified!!!

In April 2015,we purchased a Kenmore Elite Grab n Go refrigerator. I purchased the 3 year extended warranty with Sears. In March of 2016, a part failed that caused things in the fridge part to reeze and the freezer thawed. The part was backordered. We were able to finally get a replacement fridge in June 2016. On May 31, 2018 I started hearing an intermittent buzzing in the freezer area. By the next day, the freezer was thawing and the fridge was no longer cold. We have had this unit for just under 2 years. I called and was informed that my warranty expired on april 30, 2018. I had a service person come out and diagnosed it as a failed compressor. The technician referred me to the front page of the appliance manual which says the xo.preasor is warrantied for 10 years. I called the number and was taken back to Sears who said that the fridge is not under warranty. When I explained where the warranty information came from, they said I had to call Kenmore. When I did, I was redirected to Sears. So it appears that the $2600 refrigerator becomes useless after either 1 or 2 years. Not sure where to turn. Any suggestions?

Purchased a Kenmore elite model 79572063.110 temperature on front of door we have at 33 inside fridge and freezer not cooling at all. Makes also a loud humming sound and sometimes a pop sound. We ve turned it off for now. Very disappointed in Kenmore s quality should have lasted longer perched Oct 2012. I believed that Kenmore was one of the best now I believe they re the worst. Didn t see number on recall list but should be.

I purchased a Kenmore Elite Grab and go Model 795.740.411 in Sept 2015. Last Monday April 23 Refrig stopped working. I went thru cleaning vents in back, resetting Refrig per instructions. Plugger Refrig in thinking it would start working. I could hear motor start but soon no sound. I then replaced water filter and air filter thing maybe a sensor tripped. Still not working. Then I went on the internet to get suggestions. Turns out this model of Kenmore Elite has a huge recall due to Linnear Compressor failure. I then called Sears. They would not take responsibility and would not put me through to Customer Relations. They told me to call Kenmore. Kenmore kept saying Warranty and I kept saying Recall. I asked person if he knew difference between Warranty and Recall. Warranty is a miscellaneous failure of a component covered by Warranty Contract and a Recall is a mass failure of a Component(Linnear Compressor). He then set up an appointment for May 9th. Two weeks. I advised that my Wife is Disabled(Stroke) and I have 4 boys ages 11-13 and I have to go to the store before every meal and buy fresh food and throw out what’s left. We lost over $200 worth of food when Refrig quit. I was trying to get a expedited dispatch. The guy said he would get a hold of Supervisor. At the end of the day on Friday I went on the chat line and chatted with Nicolas Willis. He brought up the repair order. Still may 9th. He did see notes regarding the seriousness of my situation. He contacted scheduler and said they could be out one day earlier, May 9th. I requested to speak with supervisor. None available. I was then advised to go to Schedular chat on Monday. I was sent to the recall group to check if this model was covered. Gave Model and Serial number.
It was not on the list. I think it was not on the list as Sears did not have my EMAIL address when purchased and there was no way to notify me. This is so frustrating.

Purchased a Kenmore Elite 795.7248 sold as model 72483 and is manufactured by LG. Less than 1 year icemaker failed (jammed) was able to unjam, but this happened several times over the next few months until it totally failed after just over a year. Now in under 2 years the compressor failed according to the technician and parts are on order. This a very poorly made appliance from Korea and quality control from their production line is obviously not in place. Do not by any Kenmore appliances as they are cheap junk now.

Dear Hazel or Mike,

I am contacting you once again to inform you that my refridgerator is still not fixed as of today.

After calling the number below as you requested to schedule a visit with a senior technician, your Service Center sent a regular technician to my home today. He determined that the lines were clogged "like an artery" and that he had to reschedule yet another service call for March 5th. Never had any of the other technicians indicated that any "lines were clogged". So, we are again without a Freezer and NOW without a Refridgerator.

I am asking you to expidite this issue and once again, determine that this unit is simply unrepairable. We again are asking for a full refund of the purchase price of gthe refridgerator that we purchased only 2 years ago. Plus the cost of the service call yesterday, and the cost of lost food items as well as punitive damages for the increasingly frustrated and unprofessional customer service that we have experienced.

We fully expect a response from you by the end of business tomorrow.On Thursday, February 22, 2018, 9:28:08 PM EST, wrote:


Please contact out Technician Dave to update the comments. We do not expect to have to schedule yet another technician or service. This particular model cannot be properly repaired as the only compressor that can be installed is a faulty LG Compressor that is the subject of a Class Action Lawsuit. We DO NOT WANT that Compressor or the Refridgerator as it will breal down again (as evidenced by what has already occurred three times not).

If you cannot help us, please have the appropriate level of manager contact us.

Thank you.

We finally received the new parts and had them installed yesterday. Unfortunately the freezer still does NOT work. At this point we are demanding either a full 100% refund of the purchase price of the refridgeration or a replacement of better quality refridgerator.

Please respond within 24 hours which option you will provide. Thank you.

Dear Customer Service Manager,

I would like to lodge a formal complaint regarding the recent service I have received concerning the repair of my Kenmore Elite Refridgerator. Specifically, after 2 years, the LG Compressor broke and a new compressor had to be ordered.

I called Sears Service Center on December 18, 2017. A service technician was able to diagnose the problem on Dcember 20th.

I ordered the Compressor Parts that day, as instructed.
The day they arrived I called the Service Center to Schedule a repair.

The Repair was scheduled for January 4th. - 17 Days after my call to the Service Center to report the problem.

On January 4th, there was a snow storm and the appointment was canceled by the Sears Service Center.
I could not get a second appointment until January 16 - 29 Days after . my call to the Service Center to report the problem.

On January 16th, the technician arrived and stated the LG Compressor Parts were defective and I had to order another Compressor.

I called the Service Center that day to order the parts. I was told they were on back order from LG and they could not give me a date as to when the Compressor would be shipped. I was told that they did not know when I would be able to schedule another Service Repair appointment because they did not know when the Compressor would be shipped.

I called the Service Center the next week to follow up, and I was told that the LG Compressor was due to be shipped on 1/26/18. 39 Days after my call to the Service Center to report the problem.

I confirmed with the Service Center that if I scheduled a Technician to come on February 6th, that would give enough time for the LG Compressor to be delivered to me. She agreed that would be a safe time to schedule the repair. So I scheduled another Service Repair appointment for February 6th. Now 50 days after my call to the Service Center to report the problem.

On 2/5/18 I called the Service Center to confirm my appointment for the next day and to tell them that I had not received the new LG Compressor Parts. It is important to note here, that at no time was I contacted to tell me that the parts were delayed or (as I learned on the call) had not even been shipped yet. Imagine if I had not confirmed and a Service Techcinician had showed up. Sears would have no doubt been charged for the service call. I was then told that they again could not give me a date

I asked to speak to a Service Center Supervisor, as I was now thoroughty upset with the service I have been receiving as a long, long time Sears Customer. The Supervisor, could only offer another appointment on February 14th and a token $30 sears gift card for my troubles. There was no empathy or compassion or care that one of your long time customers has been without a Freezer for 53 days and would not get another attempt at shipping a LG Compressor. It will then be 58 days after my call to the Service Center to report the problem.

I am concerned that the LG Compressor that will be ordered, may 1) be broker again, and 2) will break again in the near future, and 3) I will have to pay for a Service Repair to fix a problem that may or may not be ultimately fixed. My Refridgerator is only 2 years old.

I demand that I be made whole in this situation, as we have endured, time off of work, upset our work schedules, and go without a freezer resulting in many more numerous trips to the grocery store because we cannot freeze any food. And, your repair options is to install another faulty LG Compressor into this Refridgerator. Sears should replace this refridgerator in its entirety. It is the only consolation that is acceptable due to this situation.

Sears is better than that. At least I thought they were.

Please respond to this letter prior to February 13, 2018.

I purchased a LG refrigerator from sears the ice maker needed to be replaced about 6 months later This was purchased about 7 years ago. they said warranty has run out. now the ice maker fan has another error. I just spent 95.00 to have a repairman tell me it will cost between $360 and $2000 to fix it. LG said it is not under recall. I believe it should be. Model #LFX2595OTT. serial # 702KRJUO3228.I have bought a lot of LG products but after this I won't. When I called LG they saod they would give me numbers to call for a tech to come out service charge alone would be 95.00. LG needs to be investigated thoroughly

Purchased a Kenmore Elite bottom freezer refridgerator model 795-7313 at Sears. It is only 1 and 1/2 years old. Compressor went out. No longer under warranty. Tech said compressor was burning hot (huge fire potential?). $1,000.00 to repair (paid $2,500 for the refridgerator). Sears said “sorry, no warranty”. This cannot be right! Any idea how to be somehow compensated for major price of repair?
