LG is such a sketchy company. Their TVs are spyware and their fridges break down faster than any other brans
Honestly, fridges are a total crapshoot these days. If you have a 15+ year old fridge, never replace it, get it repaired, the quality level in new fridges is terrible.
Depending on the repair, it can be cheaper to buy a new fridge. Most modern refrigerators aren’t designed to have their compressor easily replaced for example.
I mean, it's possible, if you really fuck it up in some way, but not from regular use.
Replacing the compressor once is still going to be cheaper than replacing a fridge every 5 years.
In my basement I have a freezer from the 60s. It needs to be defrosted every year or two, but aside from that it's never needed servicing, not once. I'm telling you, the older it is, the longer it will last.
