Many models have a recall on them due to a faulty housing mechanism causing FIRES.
OUR model is only 4 yrs old and already had to have the fan motor replaced to the tune of $250.00 and waiting all day on a repair person to come.
I strongly suggest that IF you buy this fridge, you get the extended warranty. It's sad when you spend $2000 on an appliance and then only 4 yrs later have to start paying for repairs.
Sears/Kenmore/LG just doesn't make things like they used to.
I totally agree with you. We paid so much money for something that doesnt work. Ive had mine for 4 years and the compressor broke down and they are charging me $721 to fix it.
