With LG life is bitch.
I own Japanese appliances and they last so looong. After my 14.5 years old Sanyo washing mc brokedown, I bought an LG 9.5kg machine but after 3-4 mths, the controller suddenly went heywire. After restart, ok. Then after 14.8 years Electrolux fridge broke down, I bought LG biggest capacity top freezer type. Those 2 brokedowns were bought when I shifted to this new house.
The new LG fridge is a nightmare! As I am an engineer so I took my fluke meter and measured the top freezer. At medium setting, the temperatures swings from 0 to 15 Celcius! How can an inverter compressor has so much differences? A conventional compressor only have +/- 2 celcius. I complaint to LG but they keep saying good and safe.
The washing mc controller sometimes will heywire 1-2 times in a month. I only use it once in every 8-10 days because 2 person only. This washing mc will sometimes shake and walk off when spinning when the safety switch not working. Sometimes it will keep refill and rinse again nonstop if it detects shaking too much. This refill and rinse again will go on forever more than 6 cycles until I stop it! At 2 years old, the reed switch for sensing the magnetic top cover brokedown and I cannot use it. LG told me on the phone that I must buy controller USD$150 if I fix myself. I checked and bypass that reed switch, $0 cost! because I have a wire to bypass and tools.
Recently, a friend gave me a 1.5 year old LG bluray player which she said only slowdown when play dvd. The rest functions she do not use. After tested, the bluray had lockdown prevent download. They only let you download from LG and you pay. The apps are so limited and not user friendly, worse than any tv box or tiny pc. Even my mobile phone has better functions, apps, speed and more user friendly. When play LG browser drama, it is jerking slow on 720p. 480p sometimes will hang and sometimes out of memory error. There is nothing inside and factory reset same problems. I updated the firmware and still same. I opened up and saw 3 memory rams with 2GB + 2GB + 1GB! So at least 1 or 2GB is for graphics and another 3 or 4GB are system memory. So memory are more than enough for Linux system. I suspect the whole problem is bad memory quality because LG has bad QCs, bad services, bad designs,... They only have good marketing gimmicks.
A colleague who had bought LG phone last year had traded in to Samsung after using 3 months. He said worse phone he had bought and seen.
I will not buy LG anymore even if it is 50% cheaper. Its a nightmare and quality same as second or third hand products.
