LG GN-515GW / GN-515GS Questions & Answers

You would have to ask LG. Not sure if I have the gs or gw model and have no idea what the difference is (if any). LG contact details are on the internet.

I have no idea on that one. I suspect not but you could contact LG and they could tell you. I found them to be very helpful.

I ended up buying a Samsung fridge today. The repairman told me it could have been a few different things because the fridge had been making loud squeaky noises for the past year (in addition to not cooling anymore) and that it might not be worth fixing. It's worth contacting a repairman over the phone to know what your options are. I just didn't want to pay for a call out when it could have cost another few hundred to fix.

Wishing you luck.

I have a similar problem mine is 3.5 years old and the compressor has died. By the time I pay for the call outs and labour and anything else as well as being with out a fridge for a few weeks I may as well but a new one. It's disgusting when you pay $1500 for a fridge you expect it to last at least 10 years.

Sadly, hidden in their website is the notification that there is a 2 year, plus a further 3 year warranty on any problem associated with the compressor and associated pipework, if it is a manufacturers fault. If you combine this with something called 'implied warranty' (Victorian example here external link  then you can still have a case for having it repaired at no cost. Do not let them bully you in to thinking that just because a 2 year warranty has expired that your $1000+ item is yours to pay for repairs.

We had really good technician who alerted us to ACCC rules that protect consumers against faulty parts/products. Please contact LG and explain that your fridge compressor has died after a short time if regular use. ACCC mandates that this should last longer regardless of warranty or not. LG are obliged to offer you apportioned rebate on your fridge cost. So, if compressor died after 2 years and you paid $800, they might give you $5-600 back. MAKE SURE YOU KEEP THE DEAD FRIDGE FOR LG TO COLLECT. They never told us this and they deliberately dragged it out for us. So, after 1mth following up with LG we just bought a new fridge and of course we paid for good guys to take away old fridge (as how else would we dispose of it??). And now after 5 mths, I'm still arguing with LG to get my measly $384 refund.

Hi

Ours is very quiet we dont even notice it when its running.

Cheers

Yes very quiet, my wife is a very light sleeper, and it doesn't wake her, so it must be quiet.

Cheers

Yep just.

I measured the fridge and it's 78cm.

Good luck

Hi

Ours is 79 across so it should be okay .You could always check one out at a supplier- EG harvey Norman - Good guys etc. To be safe that it will fit...I would say it will...

Cheers Muzza

I am not sure what your problem is .I have just checked our fridge and it is quite cool all round . You have not got it in an enclosed space that is trapping the hot air from rising?. If no it would be a job for LG to have a look .It does not sound right to me...And it would be using more electricity trying to keep the inside cool I would think...

Hi, just checked our fridge, not hot at all.

Checked all seals, sides and top all fine.

Good luck.

Cheers

The front part of the cabinet has a heater to keep the door seals warm & soft , soft door seals means better sealing.
