My parents went all LG in their kitchen several years ago and only the range is still functional. Seal melted on the dishwasher causing a flood, compressor failed on the fridge, rotator failed in the microwave/range hood.
Also working in retail years ago, the Korean manufacturers (LG, Samsung) always had worse than average failure rates, not to mention the half-assed features and bloat. It always amazed me how they gained such a positive reputation. The Koreans basically set up competing teams within the organization and reward those who get features into the end product, and its not always the best feature from what I’ve heard from reps and what I’ve read online (e.g. webOS).
