The change thing seems legit I've seen signs at Chick-Fil-A and my son works at a restaurant chain. . . they've been buying my wife's hoarded change recently.

I don't usually get them, but got a 5 year extra warranty from HD when we bought the fridge. Then LG extended the compressor warranty (parts only?) to 10 years. DW has been repaired twice now. Faulty (redesigned) door latch/sensor, and failed water tube to upper deck. Range repaired once for a broken (plastic) oven knob shaft.
Our 20 year old Kenmore/Whirlpool is still doing duty as the beer fridge.
Only way to stop coughing. The albuterol and tessalon perles helped too. You don't get high off of tussin.Quote:

Our fridge was coming up on 6 years, and yes it had the "Linear" compressor that the owner of Mr. Appliance described as being "nothing more than good as a boat anchor." The newer compressor isn't the same compressor as it's a known issue for LG. We had to buy a new PCB/power control board also and apparently this new system runs on a variable speed control and ramps up and down, instead of OFF or ON. Time will tell if it lasts any longer.Quote:

Weird thing is she got warranty service completed in less then 2 weeks, where we couldn't even get an "authorization letter" from LG so that Mr. Appliance could order the parts.

Not a shortage.
I couldn't care less if this is an actual or contrived shortage, just get me my roast beef sandwich and throw some Arby's sauce in the bag please.Quote:
