Lg refrigerator compressor defect class action lawsuit

The LG Refrigerator Cooling Defect Class Action Settlement was granted final approval Dec. 18, 2020. An appeal to the settlement has also been filed.

Unfortunately, many LG users have reported that they have had problems with their compressors. The most common culprit is a faulty seal, which can stop the compressor from being able to run. So, if your fridge is running but not cooling, then there is a good chance you have an issue with your compressor.

LG has continued to improve the linear compressor since it was introduced in 2001, with each generation being quieter and more energy-efficient than the last.

Installing a new refrigerator compressor costs about $375 on average, ranging between $250 and $650. The cost for the compressor itself can run from $100 to $500, not including installation.
