Ours is now 7 years old. Works great. Maybe they had a later lemon run.

I’m just guessing here. I’m guessing that some bean counter at LG noticed that if the compressor was made just a little cheaper, the company could save a ton of money over the years.
This often happen when the bean counters have veto power over the engineers.
The same thing happened to a relative of mine. He owned a GMC car that had continual transmission problems. Turns out that GMC had replaced a small steel part in the transmission with an aluminum one.
Yours is about to go.
7 years is the usual time the compressor starts to go.
It will slowly get to the point where the freezer will no longer maintain the temp below 0° F.
If you have a large amount of frozen food in it I would purchase a small chest freezer as a back-up.
We lost hundreds of dollars worth of frozen food TWICE............
Our LG fridge is also 7 years old. Doing fine but expect it will kick the bucket in 3 more years. I think it’s planned obsolescence.
We have an old Hotpoint fridge out in the garage, for extra room needed at the holidays, though it’s mostly used as a beer fridge. It’s been with us for 38 years, and we’ve never had any problem with it at all.
I have been told NEVER to buy a LG product. Just bought a whirlpool that is being delivered this morning.
They’re horrific. Compressor failed right after warranty expired. “Lemon runs” are unacceptable and brand a product as defective.
