This seems like a cracking price for a 420L LG fridge. The fridge is the cheapest it's been in the last year on price me and prices at 1800 at other retailers.

Seems like a great price and might buy it myself.

Sleek new LG 420L Bottom Mount Refrigerator. This spacious fridge has a total capacity of 420L, with 287L dedicated to the fridge compartment and 133L to the freezer. The right hinge door is reversible for flexible installation, and the black finish lends an elegant, modern look. LED lighting illuminates the interior while the Door Cooling feature prevents temperature fluctuations when the door is opened. The Fast-Cooling function rapidly cools the fridge after the door has been opened.

Dimensions: 1720 (H) x 700 (W) x 700 (D) mm
Capacity: 420L

Door cooling

    I have this fridge and lasted 8 years already.

    While everything works, beware that the plastic trays is fragile, particularly the freezer ones as mine broke and they're resting on a small hinges too on the side of the freezer.

    • Yes, the rubbish trays were what turned me away from a lot of fridges when I was after one. Ended up going for F&P because their construction is pretty rigid. For this price and size I'd have jumped at it though. Good deal

    • Yup, broke one of our freezer one too. Lucky us, just taping it and it hold. Until … the compressor die. See my post below.

      Not sure ,it's covered with a 2 year warranty but longer on specific parts including the compressor which seems to be the concern.

      "*2 Years parts and labour on the product + 3 years on sealed refrigeration system (compressor, evaporator, dryer and tubing) parts only + 5 years on compressor (part only).
      For the compressor which looks to be potentially the cause 10 years parts only."

      Not sure if that's worth it's weight at all, I'd hazard a guess labour will be high . Every time I look at whiteware I get put off .

      Would cga cover this for at least 6 years ? Or would the retailer unlikely entertain

  • It is just my interpretation of CGA. Most ppl read CGA as the machine is rquired to last for 10 years without a problem otherwise I need a new machine from the retailer, which is not correct I believe. CGA says the machine is required to last for a certain years and the supplier is required to supply parts at costs. However if any major repairs required and the supplier is unable to provide parts in a reasonable period. Then the supplier should do what's said under CGA. in this instance if the fridge has a major gas leak or faulty compressor, the supplier should replace it.

      The CGA is 100% based on the "reasonable person", so it's not so much X number of years, or has a difficult fault the supplier should replace it.

      It's "if you spend a lot of money relative to the positioning of the product and others in the market, it should be reasonably expected to last, and if you spend not much money, it wouldn't reasonably expected to last as long. The supplier should 'put it right' and if you can reasonably argue the supplier should 'put it right' and can't 'put it right' in a reasonable time frame, then you can take your argument elsewhere to remedy, finally settling on court action if they don't"

      For example, if it's, say, a display model, on clearance, and marked down 75%, it's much harder to reasonably argue that it should last as long as a full priced model of the same, and that beyond the warranty you MAY not be able to reasonably argue anything.

      So a better assessment would be, "ask 50 people whether they think the supplier should fix it based on the circumstances, ideally who have never heard of the CGA before" and that's probably the correct answer.

      I bet hardly anyone would argue a $100 phone should last 10 years, but I would reasonably argue that a $2500 phone should.

      • I have a Westinghouse that is still going for 25 years.
        Only just last week I noticed moisture build up so may be its on the way out
        Good run though

        This is bang on right :-)

        • Glad someone gets it, I love the CGA because it's a piece of legislation that protects everyone and basically boils down to "don't be a dick" and "you guys should be able to sort your own shit out, but we [the government] will back you up if we need to".

          It's just sad that consumers often abuse it thinking it's a weapon that gives them overreach.

            Totally agree.

            If more people were to think to themselves, 'Is that how I would want to be treated?' (if they were on the other side of the transaction), then the world would be a better place, but most people are too selfish (in the literal sense), to have the required empathy.

            • @Alan6984: Its not by right and its not 100% guaranteed you will get it.
              There are plenty of areas when the CGA does not apply.
              But its there to protect consumers , simple as that .

            • @Alan6984: I don't really understand either of these responses above this comment, it looks like they're arguing something said, but I can't work out the context they've derived for their arguments. Did you guys misread our comments?

    We bough this LG fridge in end 2016. Last month, suddenly our RCD trip. Took me a while to narrow down to the fridge. Also tested by plugging on the neighbour house and also trip their RCD. Called HeathCotes service. Did a gamble that it is repairable (everything looks fine, when power it, all LEDs turn on. But then 10s later, when the motor start to kick in, the RCD trip). The tech came and took it away. Diagnostic: the some part of the compressor is dead and $200 bill. Can be replaced, parts will be cover by LG, under their 10 years warranty. BUT: labour will be for us: $800 … the fridge cost $1600 … We decided for double we get a new fridge and ordered a Samsung equivalent last week via our electrician. ETA next week. And now you are telling me there is one at $1200 !!!! Sometime I hate you guys ;-)

    My only comment is: they (Samsung, LG, …) all have 10+ year warranty on their compressor, but the labour cost will make that mostly you won't repair it :-( I mean, imagine you pay half price of the fridge for repairing it, and then one year later, something NOT cover by their part warranty fail … you quickly get to pay the full new price to extend an 8 yo fridge … I guess, for the planet, that the right thing to do.

  • Back in stock

    • Good spot. So cga comments…if it breaks in 4 years could cga cover a compressor repair or would the warranty be prioritised cover that with me paying the labour ..

      • 5 Yr Product Protection $179.99 , is this worth it ?

  • Seems like it is no longer available. Back up to 1800+

    • I have one I'm going to cancel collection on of you fancy one.
