Another LG Bites the Dust!

Last night, The Prude called to me and said that all of the ice cream in the freezer was liquid.  That alone was a travesty!!  We thought that possibly The Boy hadn't closed the door all of the way so we pushed the door shut and sat and stared at the refrigerator.  Nothing happened and it got very boring so although my daughter needed to be at rehearsal in 10 minutes, we grabbed all of the meat that was still frozen and headed to the garage freezer to salvage what we could.   My daughter thought it was hilarious that I was yelling, "Save the chicken!" because... they're... dead.  I didn't think that it was funny.  Chicken is expensive!  I called my husband who was doing the sports leg of our practice/rehearsal marathon tonight and he was sure that he just needed to vacuum off the back of the fridge where the coils are.  Apparently this is 1965.  So... he hurried home from the volleyball and basketball run to vacuum the coils.  He pulled the fridge out and was immediately brought back to 2017 where he realized that the back of the fridge now has a panel protecting the coils.  He vacuumed the panel anyway, not breaking eye contact with me, out of spite I'm sure.  I let him... because, well, a happy marriage is a smidge more important than yelling "I TOLD YOU SO!" and dancing around repeating it repeatedly.  I know that was redundant, but I'm sticking with my literary genius-ness!  Just so you know, it did not work, so we jumped on our phones and called every repairman in the area and begged on several voicemails for someone to come look at our refrigerator asap!  I cannot live without the cool goodness of ice water, my husband needs his frozen peppermint patties and the kids can't live without milk and ketchup.  We're very healthy people.  I know, I know.  My mind is with the people of Texas and Florida and everywhere else there have been terrible tragedies.  I am in awe of Mother Nature and feel helpless for all those that lost so much.  However, no fridge is my 1st world problem and I'm going to whine about it.  So fast forward to today.  We got a call back first thing this morning from a repairman who had an opening!  Yes!  A working refrigerator before the weekend.  No!  LG had a manufacturing problem and the compressor our fridge needs is going to have to be shipped in because they haven't caught up enough to allow for repairmen to keep them on their shelves.  As a result, the part will be here Tuesday!!!!!  {Whine, complain, cry!!}  Are there any fans of LG out there?  If so, you are no longer my friend!  I will now crush your opinion of them! Hear me out.  Our kitchen is actually supposed to have a Wolf Range and a Sub Zero refrigerator.  Because of our fantastic experience with Stronzo, the budget required us to change that plan.  We were naive.  Our last house had Whirlpool appliances that lasted 14 years.  Why wouldn't we stick with a brand that had done so well for us?  Because!  That's why!  We were drawn in by the beautiful package of stainless steel, top of {their} line appliances that were exactly {to the $1} the amount of money we had to spend on appliances.  Did we read reviews?  No!  Did we shop around? No! Did we even consider anything else?  No!  Why would we?  It was fate!  So we purchased the appliances and had them installed in our almost finished kitchen.  What happened?  Not more than 2 months after we moved in, we noticed blue specs, that curiously were the exact color of the inside glaze of our double ovens, all over our food.  Double ovens replaced - check!  About 4 months later, I went to change the laundry and the washer still had sopping wet clothes in it.  "Well, well.  I ponder upon the discouraging nature of the spin cycle stopping before it was complete."  I wondered.  So I restarted it and nothing happened. "Blimey!  I believe that my washing machine is no longer working!"  I'm British in my head.  So our second LG appliance in 6 months was dead.  We were able to get that one fixed so we avoided having to replace it.  At the same time this was happening, we were noticing that our LG dishwasher would sometimes forget to open it's little soap door during the wash cycle.  We'd start it again and sometimes it got off it's lazy behind to open it's own door, and sometimes it didn't.  I named the dishwasher Biff and would yell, "Come on Biff!" every time I opened the door to unwashed dishes.  We asked the washing machine repairman about it and he explained that LG designs their dishwashers so that all of the parts are linked.  So, if one part dies, several parts have to be replaced.  He told us that he would never buy an LG appliance!  Doh!  To avoid another pricey repair, he told us at what point in the cycle the door was supposed to open and we would set our timer and run out and open the door every single time!  Don't judge!  Remember we were still paying off lawyer fees!  Last year we decided that there was something else wrong because our dishes were not getting clean enough and that's just gross!  So we replaced it with a Bosch and have had amazing luck.  If you forgot to count, that's 3 LG appliances that died in less than a year.  Add to that our fridge today and if any of my readers decide to buy an LG appliance, I will personally block you from my blog!  Just kidding... I wouldn't block you from my blog, I'd block you from my blog, e-mail list, Facebook and Instagram all for being stupid! I'm not usually a business basher, unless that business is run by Stronzo, but LG is now my evil nemesis so bashing must be done!  I wouldn't be surprised if I found out that Stronzo was now their product designer!  It would explain so much!  All of the LG upper management and designers are dead to me!  All of them...dead!  I'm sure they could care less, but it makes me feel so much better!  Cooler living until Tuesday.  We'll see how long my family makes it without killing each other!!  Wish us luck!
