I am rejecting this response because:
This issue has been going on for 3 weeks and when I initially contacted the company they stated that their policy was if they could not find a tech in 3-5 business days we would move on to refund or replacement. It has been significantly longer than that and they have done nothing to remedy my broken refrigerator. I have reached out to the company that is supposedly doing the repair but still have not heard back from them.
Regards,

June 28, my 7 yo ** Refridgerator stopped working. I looked up possible issues and started doing all of the suggested issues to reset by **. Nothing worked. Monday, I reach out to virtual assistant live chat, and was told they couldn't help me unless I was infront of the unit, though I told them I did all troubleshooting, they stopped responding. I go home that evening, live chat again, tell agent I did the self-help step, but she tells me to read the code, which there was none showing, but I pressed 2 buttons and "-8888" showed. She tells me "ok your ref. number is CNN250630228406, someone will call you in 24 hrs". *********** no calls. Today, I call a phone number, get routed back to virutal system and texted. I immediately call back and the system finallly acknowledges I called a number of times and sends me to a live agent. He takes my info and situation and says you need to schedule an appt. and sends me to another person who says, they can only send me to an approved repair person if I agree to the $458 hold for the flat rate service. She has no idea of when they can send someone though. I have lost all of my food. Resigned to not having food for the holiday, but at least give me a time frame of when a tech can come. She says, I likely won't hear from someone until Monday next week about when they will have a time avialable to come out. This is unacceptable, how am I supposed to reasonably plan with no reliable information. Or even advice based on the code as to whether this is a repariable issue, or if the 10 yr compressor warranty may cover it. Live agents are no more helpful than than auto system which is frustrating. The product worked well, while it was working. I feel very duped by this service experience.Business Response

Dear *** *********,
Thank you for bringing your experience to our attention. My name is *******, and Im a Presidential Liaison with LG Electronics Presidential Escalations Department.
First and foremost, Id like to sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience you've experiencednot only with your refrigerator failure, but with the process of getting timely support. We understand how difficult it is to be without a working refrigerator, especially over a holiday period, and we recognize how the delays and lack of clear communication have compounded your frustration.
To clarify your unit's warranty coverage: although your refrigerator is beyond the standard warranty period, the compressor component is still covered under LGs 10-year limited warranty. However, the labor and service fees related to the diagnosis and repair are not covered, which is why a flat-rate service fee of $458 was quoted. This fee includes both diagnostic and labor costs but must be authorized and scheduled directly through our authorized service network.
Due to payment security protocols, the Voice of the Customer team (including live agents and virtual assistants) is not authorized to process or schedule these repairs. For out-of-warranty scheduling and payment, please contact our dedicated service team at: Toll-Free Number: ************. They can assist with scheduling, available appointment windows, and answering questions about the compressor coverage or possible repair outcomes based on the units behavior.
We truly regret the delay in communication and are reviewing this experience internally to improve our response process going forward. Your feedback helps us better serve all customers, and it has been escalated to the appropriate teams.
Sincerely,*******
