The Inside of My LG Fridge Looks Like a Piece of Junk!! All of the Plastic is Cracking!!

Is your LG fridge part of a recall?
Click here to find out!




We bought our LG fridge (model LFC25760ST) about 3 years ago and before paying our last payment on it all the plastic parts inside started cracking and breaking.

I wasn't sure if my children were being to hard on it or if it was an inherent problem with the fridge. Now I know it was not us.

I don't even want to call LG to get replacement parts because I don't know how long they will last.

My LG fridge works fine so I am happy with that, but the inside looks like a pile of junk.

The sales person at Home Depot said it was a good product, NOT SO MUCH!!!

 Will 3rd replacement be a charm NEW
by: Anonymous

Absolute garbage! LG MODEL LFXS28968S. The bins went last 6 months without cracking. A year in and he bottoms splinter and drop out. LG won’t stand behind their product. The clear acrylic plastic is the issue. I’m going to have to send a perfectly functional fridge to landfill but I can’t get a plastic straw at McDonalds! Two thumbs down LG

 LG Refrigerator

My refrigerator too is a shambles inside. Broken drawers, side panels, the back panel plastic has all disintegrated and discolored. It's completely falling apart. How is there not a class action against LG. Their product is faulty for sure..
Shame on LG. They won't own this.

 Poor quality plastics in general?
by: lhb

I too have a fridge Maytag purchased less than 2 and half years ago that Friday one had a sliding door tray that collapsed off its runner. Within the next year, shelves have cracked,supports on shelfchipped off so shelves don't lock in on door and runner tracks for bins have cracked off and fallen off.Replacement for the many defective items amounts to nearly 700 dollars! Because the year warranty is expired. Maytag refuses to help other than give a nominal coupon for a future purchase. Given this 'track' record, who'd purchase another Maytag...though I see from these posts, there may be a general defect in all plastics manufactured for fridges?

 Home Depot Extended Warranty won't cover LG shelves NEW
by: Rocket

My shelves collapsed in the middle of the night with the plastic suddenly breaking into shards.

After literally hours and hours on hold, I finally got ONE of the replacements under LG warranty. They had previously told me about 5 times that they were on their way, they never sent them.

Couldn't get the 2nd shelf.

Propped up the second shelf glass with curtain pressure rods. Today, the "replacement", boom! Collapses suddenly with plastic shards.

My Home Depot extended warranty claims shelves are cosmetic, not functional, so will only pay for half the replacement. AND I have to buy it first, over $220, to a company that lied 5 times about sending them and the quantity they sent. My $135 Home Depot warranty is useless, they won't give me a refund of that OR replacement part of the shoddy product they sold me. They tell me their insurance company, Allstate, is to blame.

Small claims costs $53 plus sheriff fees. So I'm screwed.

 Brittle LG Rfrigerator Shelves
by: Athens Georgia

We've had our LG Refrigerator for 5 years and really like it except for the brittle plastic shelves and the paint around the door handle beginning to peel off after 9 months.

Our two large door shelves were cracked a year ago. we replaced the top one for $75 and its falling apart after only 9 months of use. I I e-mailed the appliance parts store yesterday and hope LG will replace the defective shelf. In the meantime I cut two 1/2" wooden inserts for the shelf bottoms which seem like they will hold up for a while. If I get new replacement shelves will put the inserts in the shelves and cross my fingers.

Hard to believe LG would sell such inferior quality . Will not deal with them in the future.

 Shards of broken plastic in ice NEW

I drink a lot of water with ice throughout the day in a stainless steel water flask. A week ago I felt a sliver of hard plastic in my mouth before swallowing. Today It happened again it was a sharp shard of broken plastic 1 1/2 inches long! It came from the broken ice cube tray. I’m glad I didn’t assume it was a piece of ice and swallow it. SO SO dangerous!

 Cracking all over NEW
by: Anonymous

I agree with all that has been said of the poor quality of the plastic used on the edges of the shelves and drawers.
I just received my replacement shelf from Fedex (had to pay for it, as it wasn't under warranty, as I purchased it in 2018) and it arrived with the plastic cracked in the back, just like the first one! Now I have to go thru all sorts of nonsense with Fedex damage claims!
Class action!!!

 All of the lightly used plastic is broken and horrible
by: Caldwell

We are 2 empty nesters who aren't hard on things and our 3 y/o LG fridge has broken door bins, humidity vents, the flip top on the cheese drawer, and now the main horizontal part over the crispers has broken in half. If the shelves were plastic it'd just be a single giant, well-lit cold room.
LG should be ashamed of the fragile plastic. Looking for a new fridge and very their brand forever.

Every single shelf is cracked, along with the slide on my crisper drawers, and the bins in my doors. I too, at first, thought that maybe I wasn’t careful enough.

 Piece of junk NEW
by: Anonymous

I wish I had read these comments before purchasing my fridge. It has been no more than 3 months (2 of which I was away traveling), so a total of one month, and my fridge looks like I have taken a bat to it! It shows signs of cracking on one of bottom drawers and the lower shelves (door). I thought that perhaps this was owing to carelessness on my part; however, there is no resistance when I shut the fridge and I don't hit it on anything. But the cracking gets worse and worse. It is evident that this is a quality issue. This is my second LG fridge. I bought this precisely because the first (which, admittedly, was more expensive but also larger) was good. But this piece of garbage fridge is an utter waste of money! I am constantly sweeping away sharp pieces of plastic that keep falling out of the fridge and hoping that my young child does not step on shards of hard plastic. Home Depot shame on you! You have enough complaints here to recall the product!

 LG: GB-450UPLX fridge/freezer- WHAT A MONUMENTAL DISGRACE NEW
by: Anonymous

Holy Moly LG 😡.. This large company should be ashamed of their workmanship additional to their comical lack of customer service! I'm a single living adult female who is meticulous with the care of all my appliances! I am also unfortunately unable to work these days due to a major car accident that has rendered me disabled in many ways! THEREFORE most certainly can't afford to be replacing $1000 refrigerator's every 3yrs because of crappy plastic moulding & fridge parts that LG have skimped on. The drawer guides in my freezer have absolutely cracked & shattered to the stage where shortly the drawers will not have anything holding them in place! There is no way to fix the issue as it is all within the plastic moulding! Nothing to remove & replace & no way to fix this! I thought I was spending my $1000 on a reputable quality brand & NEVER AGAIN will I purchase LG. I've barely even moved the freezer drawers as I predominantly use a separate stand up freezer in my garage. This has not been caused by rough handling or negligence! I struggle to understand how this is acceptable by consumer rights! NOT HAPPY LG! I will be telling everyone I know to never buy anything made by LG!

 LG appliances are junk NEW
by: Anonymous

Our french door LG fridge has developed mysterious cracks on every single door bin and the inside walls of the fridge doors that hold the bins. The door bins were never overloaded and we have never even stored milk in the advertised "milk bins" yet everything still cracked! Our LG microwave door is coming apart too, because the plastic clips that hold it together have also cracked, which is evident by the broken clips falling out of the falling apart door. Our LG range button panel is basically unreadable now because all the writing has peeled off just because. We followed LG’s care instructions and have never used any harsh chemicals, yet it all just seems to deteriorate and fail just because. I will never buy any LG garbage again!

 LG plastic parts breaking NEW
by: Anonymous

Like everyone else, we have had a series of plastic parts breaking, cracking, and crumbling, from rollers to flanges to the bins and trays themselves, white and clear both. I replaced a small tilt cover for $30, but it too soon broke. The refrigerator itself works fine but inside it looks like a war zone, and it is only 4 years old. Do not buy LG, although I can't tell you what manufacturer uses plastics that are cold temperature tolerant. It is not rocket science; it is just greed and planned obsolescence.

 Bad plastic - get lots of PVC and cement NEW
by: Max

The only reason we even have an LG fridge is because the nice shiney new one came with the house when we bought it in 2011. It is a LRFD25850ST, so french doors, lower freezer that rolls out.
--
I will NEVER buy an LG fridge or appliance. In fact, I will never buy any new appliance. Do yourself a favor. Go to a used appliance store, and seek out a good Whirlpool from about 20 years ago. NOTHING after about 2005. Same goes for washers and dryers. My washer/dryer are Kenmore/Whirlpool from the late 1990s, my toaster is a Sunbeam from 1958. I sought out and BOUGHT these things. They weren't handed down to me by grandma.
--
Anyway... the LG fridge.... oy...
Within 2 years, all the plastic on the inside started cracking and falling apart. The white plastic pulls on all the drawers break off or pull off, the clear plastic windows on those drawers crack and pull out. All the plastic guides that the drawers slide on cracked. The cover over the light bulb cracked in a dozen places and part of it melted because one of the cracked pieces got too close to the bulb.
--
Some of the plastic pieces up inside the chilled water dispenser on the outside of the door, where you push the glass up in to turn it on, cracked, so that it would no longer turn on.
--
The gaskets on the doors tore and pulled off (I had to buy two left-side gaskets and pull some re-engineering on it to remove the rod and holder so I could flip it over and make it work as a right-side gasket).
--
The long stainless handle on the freezer tilt-out door is attached to the fridge with PLASTIC pedestals, which of course cracked and broke.
--
Needless to say, NONE of these parts were available as replacements, except a left-hand gasket, and that was a lucky, "I've got one left around here somewhere..." at an appliance parts distributor, not LG.
--
Lots of sheet and strip PVC, and lots of PVC pipe cement, can be used to replace broken pieces and glue the plastic back together. They are all a plastic that "melts" with that type of solvent-based cement, so the bonds are strong. But you really have to be determined and kind of handy to make the pieces. The freezer drawer pull was another adventure. The silver plastic pedestals are hopeless, so I used large stainless bolts and pieces of steel inside them to bolt the steel pipe handle to the door, leaving the plastic pedestals there strictly for show.
--
NEVER. My mom still has her Cold Spot fridge from 1956. Maybe she'll sell it to me.

 Two LG fridges
by: Marg

Have an LG 24" bottom mount fridge/freezer about 10 years old - not sure how old b/c it was in my cottage when I bought it and sellers said it was fairly new. About 2 years ago I could not get the top freezer drawer- not the one intended for ice cubes and similar shallow things - to close.The extruded plastic drawer glide had cracked, and pushing the the drawer made the cracked parts lift up and prevent the drawer from being pushed back. Have used painter's tape and duct tape to enable it to work but that needs replacing because it rolls and shifts from movement and b/c adhesive no longer works with humidity So, last November I moved condos and the new one had a similar but smaller LG 24" than the one at the cottage. No idea how old it is but the condo is 14 years old so its probably that age. Did not pull out the drawers when I inspected the appliances. Should have because there is the same problem with the same top freezer drawer. Duct tape repaired again and despite being in condo way less than cottage because of covid so less freezer usage, the duct tape needs to be pushed down or replaced . My brother has a similar model bought at beginning of pandemic so I am wondering how long until his has the same problem.

 LG Fridge - 8 Months Old - Interior Cracks
by: Sick of New Appliance Crap

We received our new LG french door fridge in June 2021. This week we noticed cracks on the inside walls of the fridge on both sides. Contacted support and the asked for photos and a copy of our receipt. They asked what had banged into the fridge. We told them it hasn't moved since we received it and put it in place! We have babied this fridge, keeping it clean. The cracks just appeared! Apparently they can be caused by temperature fluctuations, but we have not noticed and changes in the temperature of the fridge. We are currently waiting on a response from LG Service. They are going to have a Tech come out to asses the cracks. I am sure they are going to suggest that they get taped. How bad are these cracks going to be a few more months down the road. We bought this from home Depot and paid for the extended warranty because of the compressor issues we had read about. Didn't expect a cracking issue! I agree with the others on this forum, what is the deal with the cheap plastic that manufacturers are using these days?!

 LG Freezer is cracking all the plastic parts! NEW
by: Angry in NJ

How could a company use such cheap thin plastic to manufacture a freezer? The materials should be compatible with extreme temperatures, but they aren’t. One year after we purchased it, the drawer inside the freezer started to break. Random pieces of plastic would be found on the floor here and there and then I finally realized where they were coming from. Customer service is a joke. They do not want to be responsible for their products poor craftsmanship. Then the ice maker decided to work when it wanted it and now has completely shut down altogether. Today, 3 1/2 yrs later, the bar that holds the drawer on the track cam crashing down because , you guessed it, the plastic parts that hold it on broke off. I t makes me so mad because I could have got a better deal on Maytag or Whirlpool and from what I’ve heard, they are built to last.

 GE refrigerators are garbage too!
by: Beyond disappointed wife and mom

My hubby and I did a remodel and replaced our old refrigerator that was hideous but worked fine with a brand new mi-grade GE refrigerator with the freezer on the bottom (drawer). We paid for the extra protection plan through Home Depot. Within 1 month there was a random crack in the liner. Home Depot said they couldn’t help b/c it was still under manufacturer warranty. Then GE said their warranty doesn’t cover "cosmetic" issues. Seriously?! We paid THOUSANDS and they won’t cover a random crack that appears in less than a month? I was so mad. Called them every day demanding to talk to someone else. Called Home Depot back and demanded help since we paid for that extra plan. After 2 months of lots of stress and ever day calling, and after filing a complaint with the BBB, I finally got a call back by someone high up in GE. Funny thing they stopped making my model even though I had only had it 3 months. Anyway they replaced with a similar model and now I’m noticing lumps all in the liner under my drawers in the refrigerator part! What the heck do they make this stuff out of? It’s like it’s so thin it just disintegrates. It’s sooo cheap! Now I’m worried it’s going to break too and then what? I am soo mad. We BABY that thing. I’m so sick of companies making complete JUNK!

The meat drawer is falling apart just the same as both veggie drawers!

 32 LG fridges NEW
by: Anonymous

We ordered 32 new LG refrigerators (freezer on top model) for our brand new apartment buildings. Two years later we started seeing shelves dropping randomly out of their tracks because the insides were pushing outwards which apparently happens when the room it is in gets very warm?? Yeah, never heard that before. Some of the shelves have broken also cracked and broken as a result of this. To replace them is around $80. We’ve had to replace 4 already. So, $32,000 plus taxes, and two years later, they are slowly warping and falling apart. Very disappointed, why is everything so cheaply made and expensive to buy?? I don’t think there’s a brand out there that’s built to last, you make more money this way I guess. Hey LG, "life’s NOT THAT good". Oh, and by the way, the 17 year old Roper refrigerators in our older buildings still work fine and the shelves are great. Just saying...

 I'll have the same...with a side of house fire NEW
by: Anonymous

I can't help but laugh because our LG has been nothing but trouble from the start. First, the inner lightbulb wouldn't turn off which subsequently melted it's housing and melted/toasted everything kept above the fridge. If we hadn't smelled the cheerios it could have totally caused a house fire! Then shortly thereafter all of the housing for every drawer has completely cracked as well as the tracks that the top two run on. Finally, the bottom shelf (which should be able to hold the heaviest of typical fridge items) has also cracked on both sides and is sagging towards the front. We are lucky this fridge has not destroyed our home or wasted any of the food we are storing. So far the ice maker is the only thing winning in the race for longevity.

 Replacement Parts NEW
by: Michele S

We've owned our LG LFCS22520S/01 stainless plain french-door since July 2018. The first thing we noticed was that the outside began getting 'bump' indents in the 'stainless' veneer. Then some weird seeping discoloration began appearing at the bottom of the freezer door veneer, as though the veneer clear-cover patina was not sealed properly at the bottom. Now the meat tray cover plastic connection tab busted off on one side and the LG replacement part we purchased doesn't close all the way. The part looks the identical, but my husband thinks it may be the wheels. Can't tell for sure where the replacement part was made. ☹

Not sure that I would want another, unless it was free.
It is junk on the inside, but still works fine as long as you don't need to open drawers or put food on the shelf!

 Kenmore Elite / LG French Door Fridge NEW
by: Sarah

I just broke down and purchased a replacement for the plastic shelf housing above the crisper draw - the current one is completely shredded at two corners and no amount of epoxy can fix it.

I have already replaced several of the door bins. Right now there is a combination of tape and epoxy holding one of the door bins together and one of the replacement ones now has a crack in the corner.

One of my crisper bins front compartment latch is broken and the plastic front is cracked but at $120-$150 to replace it's going to stay that way.

They obviously have used a low quality plastic...and I'm jaded enough to believe that it is planned obsolescence and a secondary revenue stream for LG.

 A disaster zone inside NEW

Just like others have commented, cracks all over --bins in the door, frame for the crispers, the snack/meat drawer fell apart.... Not functional, really... oh, and the light cover falling off. I think they should pair up with duct tape makers--that's where my money is going trying to patch it up.

 LG junk NEW

My fridge is 5 years old and I was very happy
until three weeks ago when it began to self destruct. Plastic holding the glass shelves edge
is going to pieces, the drawers have fallen as

get a new non LG fridge.

 LG...Looks lovely inside, if you like duct tape NEW
by: MJ

The plastic frames on the interior of my LG fridge started cracking just after my 1 year warranty expired. It was all downhill from there. I could no longer use the meat tray because the plastic frame above it was completely cracked. The frame AND supports above the crisper boxes cracked, so is now useless; I rigged up a makeshift shelf until dear hubbie can make a new wooden shelf (as someone suggested in another comment)...at the moment I have to drag out the drawers to get out my veggies as the drawers no longer glide. In the lower freezer, I rigged up long twist ties so that the glider mechanism can hold the upper basket ..But, hey, the ice-cream is just the right consistency.
I wrote up comments for the Home Depot reviews, but they didn't publish it. Also, a letter that I sent to the LG executives went unanswered. A return to old-fashioned metal shelves would be a smart move. I keep the darn thing because replacement parts are just too expensive, and I refuse to give in.

 LG Refrigerator Shelf Cracked In Multiple Places! NEW
by: Camille

We have an LG Model: LFC21776ST /05. We have owned this refrigerator about 3 years.

A week ago I heard a loud BANG. I thought the "ice breaking" feature of the refrigerator had broken up some ice.

The other day I was cleaning out my refrigerator and at the back left corner the plastic frame that holds the glass over the bottom crisper drawers was cracked and broken in 3 places - all right at the corner!

I called LG and was told the warranty is only 3 years. To add insult to injury they do not make the replacement part any more!

How can this be? I thought LG made great appliance to LAST. We also have LG washer and dryer and our television is LG. Now I don't trust them.

I had to find a replacement part on the Internet from a company that will custom make the replacement shelf for us.

I have never had a refrigerator shelf crack in my life. I miss my Sub Zero!!!!

I will never buy another LG appliance. My refrigerator is only five years old m, but it looks like crappy. The shelves and bins are all cracking and breaking. I looked online to buy a new bin and it's $38. I'm not going to give them anymore money. Nei bought my LG gas stove at the same time and I've had a part replaced twice in the oven because it wouldn't work. Never again will I buy LG.

Our LG fridge is a nightmare too. I'm going to replace all the shelves with plywood, it'll work better. The 25 year old Kenmore that we gave away when we bought this is still working and looking perfect. Wish I could ask for it back.
BTW, our LG range almost burned our house down last night. Check the recall page to see if yours is on the list. Burner came on and wouldn't shut off, we're lucky we were home.

 Class action lawsuit? plastic inside my LG cracked

I am disgusted that so many consumers are having the exact same issues. My story mirrors most others. It started with the plastic liner around the glass shelf, now multiple plastic parts are cracked and falling apart.

Two meticulous adults occupy this home. Everything is cared for. The notion that these parts are breaking due to negligence is insulting.

Has anyone considered suing LG? These parts should be recalled and replaced for free.

 LG Fridge lining also cracking
by: Paul from Brisbane2017


LG is a poorly made product ,After 4 years and even with a extended warranty , doesn't cover you for cracked lining , cold water freezing and strange noises .LG has admitted in writing the fridge is a faulty product and needs to be replaced , LG will only offer less the half of its current valve or keep the fridge and give $200 . Every Australian should be ware of LG's poorly made products and stay far away from them ! Only when LGs profits decline will they get the message .
LG will lie to you and say the cracking is a one off ! they also say that the cracking does not effect the running of the fridge , but an fridge expects say a different thing all to gether , say yes it will and it makes perfect sense that the fridge will not work effectively .

 Junk is right
by: Anonymous

I can't believe they haven't fixed this yet. I got my fridge in 2005 and it started cracking a year or so later. next, one shelf looked like I had taken it outside and run over it with the car. Metal and glass only was intact, plastic in so many pieces I couldn't count them. Next, the handle pulled off on Easter Sunday as I was trying to serve dinner. The screws came with it and it appeared that they were not actually connected to the door itself. I super glued it back on, but don't dare use the handle to open the door. The super glue has lasted about 5 years so far. Today, the $75 replacement shelf fell out, and one crisper drawer is hanging crooked, crumbled plastic under both. My original call to LG was met with a rather abrupt response in effect saying, "well what do you expect lady, the thing is 6 years old" and they denied that they had any complaints similar to mine. The internet said otherwise. I will never again buy an LG product or any made by LG, nor will anyone in my family or several friends. I was more upset by the rudeness of the customer service rep and the company's refusal to recognize a problem than I was the problem itself.

 Plastic has cracked! Unbelievable.
by: LydiaL

My LG fridge is now 4 years old. After the first year I had one crisper drawer crack where the wheel is attached. By the next year they were both cracked, still usable, never complained. Next was the glide and serve plastic that broke. Then a few months ago the plastic on the mullion (flapper that allows you to close either door first on a french door system). It is my husband and I and it is definitely not abused.
LG offered to sell me the drawers $110 each and glide and serve for $130. The mullion I would have to order from a technician.
I told them I loved my fridge (except the plastic) but would never order from them again, they didn't care.

I noticed the crack this morning, and I am not sure if it will affect the performance of the fridge.

 7 years old LG
by: Anonymous

I agree that LG uses BAD plastic. Our drawers started breaking when it was 3-4 years old, but that is not such a big deal. The big deal is that the water in the fridge contacts degrading plastic.
Last year the water valve broke and I removed it to change it. Inside, all the black rubber seals were turning to a black dust, which was mixed with water used to make ice and to drink. The plastic body of the valve was also degrading.
That's what we drink from the LG fridge!

 cracked within 2 years

 My LG Fridge too
by: D Ellis

We purchased our LG Fridge (bottom freezer) in about 2012. The plastic of the shelving became brittle, the top of the glass shelf for the bottom drawers cracked with very little use. This is my 4th refrigerator and this is the first time I have ever encountered a problem with the parts deteriorating like this. The Customer Service person I spoke with at LG claimed it is 'cosmetic' and therefore not something they will repair. We debated for a short while about what actually constitutes 'cosmetic' and when it was clear that her cue-card only had the one answer, I gave up. I have now paid $160 Canadian for 2 shelves. This is the second time I've paid for a replacement shelf...
I agree.. maybe we should look into a class action lawsuit.

We bought our LG refrigerator in 2008 and not even 2 years later the drawers and shelves starting breaking and we had to throw them out.

We have a nice house, and a beautiful kitchen, and this is what we have had to put up with.

 Salesmen Don't Care

I recently ran into a salesman for LG who tried to convince me after I am fed up with all the broken parts of my fridge to buy another one. She said she had actually not heard about all the plastic parts breaking and gave me her card. I sent her all the pics of the broken crap in my fridge and sent her to this website, with the comment that I couldn't sell this crap to people with a clear conscience. Needless to say I never heard from her again. I know most people dealing with the problems of these fridges don't even know about this website. I am not surprised after bringing it to their attention that they don't care.....they have your money, why should they! I too am about to cut my losses and dump it in the recycle where the dishwasher went not too long ago.

 Same with electrolux
by: Anonymous

I have been searching for replacement plastic freezer drawers, shelves and accessories even if not brand name or other make/model to no avail. Just moved into a fairly new flat but problem is with a completely working fridge but want to replace all parts inside. The prices are just astounding at anywhere from £25-£35. It would be cheaper to throw away a working fridge and buy a brand new one?

I would have thought a mere £5-£8 but shocked as He*l to find out that a plastic piece that will eventually break again costs more than an Oak dining chair I bought!

This is a definitely untapped market to get into.

 Not just LG
by: Nana

The interior plastic problem is not just with LG. I bought a Frididaire Gallery Series refrigerator and the plastic literally fell apart in my fingers. I am a senior living alone so absolutely no abuse to the unit. I had it taped everywhere with duct tape to keep it halfway usable. I then moved and vowed to not buy another Frigidaire. I paid a premium price to buy a Maytag, relying on their good name. Low and behold before the first year was up the plastic started doing the same thing. My crisper drawers are now just sitting on the bottom of the fridge as the slider simply fell apart. I am now once again getting ready to move and need to buy a fridge and I have no idea what brand as this plastic issue seems to be a plague on all the brands. Kids toys have better quality plastic. I do not understand why the companies are not addressing this problem. The unit works fine but the interior is a disaster.

 Update on LG Fridge Shelves
by: Gaald

I have an update on my post below. After getting nowhere with LG customer service using their toll free number, I vented my frustration with LG and their customer service, and their crap fridge shelves on twitter. I included @lgcanada in the messages I posted and within an hour someone there responded, and they helped me get my mother sorted out.

Her fridge has a full set of shelves again, and they gave them to us at no cost. It was nice to have someone finally understand how bad the situation was, and they went above and beyond to help my mother out. It's too bad the shelves are still flimsy crap. But at least we have them.

 LG Fridge Shelves are total junk!
by: Gaald

We bought an LG fridge in 2008, the LRBN20514BK and while the fridge itself still operates satisfactorily, the shelves are a total disaster!

A few years after purchasing the fridge the bottom shelf completely fell apart, we called and purchased a new one for a ridiculous price. Since then shelf after shelf started to show damage. We tried to manage as best as we could, because buying replacement parts were expensive, and it's the same easily breakable junk. At this point our fridge has lost the full shelf, the half shelf without the drawer, and for a second time the bottom shelf has totally broken again.

I tried looking for other options, like finding metal shelves that might fit instead of the plastic, but either my google foo is terrible or there is no such thing.

 Plastic inside.........rubbish
by: Woody in Sri Lanka

So LG products are everywhere! I assumed my problems were Sri Lanka based.I have an upright fridge/freezer, top of the range in stainless steel. Looks GREAT, BUT......I have been waiting a year to have a replacement snack-drawer side runner, so cannot use the drawer,and need a similar side runner for the salad crisper, recently cracked and broken in several pieces. I have ordered from Colombo, and imagined a speedy [if expensive] replacement, but no luck.In the great scheme of things, LG appliances are comparatively cheap, obviously using inferior plastic for the interior; so why are replacements SOOOO expensive. From comments below, all customers appear to suffer from the same problems. LG, PLEASE GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS......

Forgot to mention the handle on the freezer drawer (botton) lasted about one month before it came off in my hand. Like another person stated- only 2 seniors living here my husband and myself and we are not hard on our possesions. This is so wrong of LG to not back up their product. Can't believe there uis no class action going against these crooks. We are on a fixed income so we are stuck with piece of junk until we can afford to replace it.

 Update
by: Liz

Well I am updating my comment. It's even worse than what I last posted. I purchased a new piece to hold the glass to the tune of $125 and now that is broken in not 1, not 2 not even 3, but 4 places so my bottom crisper won't pull out. I just threw out the part directly above it that held the third drawer as all that was holding it in was a twist tie I put there. So that and the drawer are gone. As I posted before only 2 seniors living here, nobody is hard on the fridge at all. My husband never opens the door. I went to the store where I bought it and they are going to give me a credit for a new fridge. I am purchasing a GE which the repair store in this area said is the only appliances that aren't requiring a lot of new parts. I hope someone can get this class action going. He also said it's worse if you bought a GE washer as the parts are not available at all. Many people have said it but this is criminal behaviour, fraud, and anything else you want to call it. They are simply taking peoples money and giving them nothing in return.

 LG should be ashamed !!!
by: Tom Dragos

Saw the comments on this board and couldnt agree more. The inside of the fridge(LRSC26925TT) looks like cheap plastic there is not a shelf in the fridge that is not damaged!!! To boot if you want to replace a shelf or drawer the cost is 90$ minimum per part, but who wants to pay that much for the same garbage.
LG should step up to the plate and offer the replacements at a deep discount -- maybe what they are worth 3-4 $$ each - because LG will never get another penny for any product they put out from me.
Cant wait to replace this piece of garbage.

Wow, I cannot believe the comments, it's exactly my problem. All the plastic in my fridge, only 2 years old, is cracking and falling apart.

I hope this webpage stops most people from buying LG appliances. I will never buy another. Great looking fridge on the outside but now we have only one shelf and the crisper drawer is sitting on the lower shelf above the vegetable drawer. Parts are expensive and I'm sure will also break. So I have a disposable refridgerator. I work too hard to waste my money on a product built to gain the most profit by using cheap plastic.

Years ago people would use old fridges out but their house with the back to the ground to use as a garbage box. That's what this product is with garbage already in it.

Further requests from LG to provide photos and original purchase details, which I duly obliged. Despite my compliance LG's response has been they will not replace the damaged items. The responses have been bereft of any explanation or reason why they are refusing to support this product.
The product was priced at a high quality price and clearly made from substandard materials. Has any one had any satisfaction from LG?

 LG Lousy Gargabe
by: Liz

I have had the same experience, everything in the fridge crumbled. They also have the worst service ever and my regular appliance guy said they are not allowed to get the parts only the Lg Service men can get them. I am also tired of being told I am the only one. I agree that there should be some sort of action, that this ranks in with criminal behaviour. At this point LG knows there stuff is crap. I have had 2 of those plastic pieces that hold the glass in, in less than 3 years, now I glued it (@$150 ea). I am not buying another one. I now plan to print and take these reviews back to the store where I purchased it and ask for a trade in value. The dishwasher has had $200 repairs and the paint wore off the stove. They replaced the top after a fight and the same thing has happened. L ousy G arbage. Tell everyone you meet, maybe the bad reputation will stop them.

It is criminal that they should be able to sell such garbage to the public!!!!! Our refrigerator also has a defect with the light bulb--basically, it doesn't turn off occasionally which means that it melts through the mouldings and whatever food might be nearby.
This stuff is total junk and they should absolutely NOT get away with pawning this stuff off to the public!!!

 class action suit against LG?
by: Anonymous

My LG fridge is total garbage. The refrigerator "works" but the plastic started breaking within months of getting it. Two years in and it looks and feels 20 years old.
The ice machine is also so badly designed that I would recommend tarring and feathering the person responsible.

The light bulb is also a hazard and does not relilably turn off so we woke up one morning to find it had not only melted through itso own cover but also through some plastic lids on our food.

Short of forgetting to put in a cooling system, it is hard to imagine how they could have made a worse fridge.

I just became a member of the "lg plastic is crap"
community. Parts are now breaking on a refrigerator used by two seniors (read no children). I guess I should be happy that it took 5 years to manifest itself. I will never recommend LG products to anyone again. What happened to the days when you purchased an appliance and it lasted for 20 years or better.

 LG LFC25760ST
by: Cusnator

I have had our LG refrigerator LFC25760ST for 4 years.

The plastic rollers and clips have been falling apart under normal wear. Repairman has been to my house 3 time to try to figure out why freezer is cooling but the top fridge is not working.

He defrosted the whole system and changed thermostat but it's still not working. I'm over $400 into repairs and I still don't have a working fridge!

 Inside My LG Side by Side Fridge
by: Anonymous

I purchased my LG side by side fridge with freezer at the bottom. But, I am so disappointed with the crap plastic they used in what looks like a great product from the outside.

In less than a year I started to hear cracking sounds and unfortunately paid no attention to it as I am the only one who uses the fridge.

Eventually in November I pulled the tray at the bottom and realized it was all cracked. After a bit more examining I found that the plastic that the shelves hang on was also cracked. It is now all in pieces as I tried to fix it.

Of course I called in January and was told the warranty is expired. This product really should have a longer warranty.

I think LG manufacturers need to look at the quality of plastic they are using....

I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED.

 LG Plastic Parts Nightmare!!
by: Anonymous

I KNEW this was common!!

I have replaced almost EVERY plastic part in that piece of junk and now 2 years later They all need replacing again!!

I'm not just being melodramatic here, I mean every shelf bracket, drawer guide, door catch, etc needs to be replaced. They OBVIOUSLY did NO research on the type of plastic they used.

We replaced whirlpool model that we put in the basement that was 30 years old and it 's held up better than our 4 year old LG unit.

We've gotten NO help from the liars at LG customer service that told me "We have not heard of this kind of problem with that model".
F-ing liar !!!!

SO LG stick to phones and make it right for people like us....how about a RECALL?!?!
