Do I need an extended warranty for an LG LSC26905 side by side refrigerator with icemaker/water in the door?
Question : Do I need an extended warranty for an LG LSC26905 side by side refrigerator with icemaker/water in the door?
Best buy wants over $ 1100 for the unit and $ 200 for the extended warranty. Sears wants $ 950 for the unit but $ 400 for an extended warranty that includes yearly maintenance visits to my home and covers everything for 5 years. Part of me thinks I shouldn’t get one at all but I had such a bad experience with my last refrigerator. Part of me thinks it’s a money making con. Has anyone had experience with LG? Any experiences with these extended warranties on refrigerators?

I have read, and it has been my experience, that manufacturers make a bet with you they’re expecting to win. They will give you a warrantee through the years that their product is expected to last without repair. Then they won’t give you a warrantee for any years after that time. This is a long way around saying no! Statistically it is very unlikely that your refrigerator will need repair during that period of time.

On something this expensive and high tech, lots of computer components, you really do need to spend the extra money. You never know the unit could work perfectly and then the door handle could come off in 2 months! I am getting a french door bottom freezer LG or Whirlpool and either way I am getting the warranty because it will cover anything.

Forget the “extended” warranty the original warr. is good enough to cover it. Sears will stand behind the products they sell.
