the quote from this Narcsadisticmom I took care of the problem by ruining MY LIFE she is THINKING ABOUT HERSELF even then . <| sep |> It ' s hard to fault LG directly , these days no matter what fridge you buy you ca run into the same problem that ' s why guys like us exist . Days of the poor old maytag repair man just sitting there with nothing to do are over . I definitely agree that you are getting the short end of the stick , call LG directly and explain the situation they might be able to put a rush on it and get everything fixed a little faster for you in hopes of making you happy . When you make your complaint play the family card to , might get a sympathetic person that will rush things just because of that . While you are on the phone put in a call to Home Depot customer support , file a complaint about the way the whole thing has been dealt with . Unless you are literally in the middle of nowhere warranty calls should never take 3 weeks just to be addressed especially when it ' s an emergency . Sure if your washer is broken you can wait , go to the laundromat etc , a fridge is something that you really can ' t do without . Take a look at what they did behind the fridge , did they put any access valves or anything on it ? Seems like if they were only there for a couple minutes it ' s kind of hard to test if the compressor is actually gone . Something else you might be able to do just to fuck with them , find out what their return policy is , if you can than go buy a cheap new fridge , use it for the couple weeks until your main fridge is fixed and then return it .
