LG, Kenmore French Door Refrigerator Class Action Settlement
By Mike Holter
LG Electronics has reached a class action lawsuit settlement over allegations it sold defective LG and Kenmore-branded French Door Refrigerators that failed to shut off the interior light when the doors were closed. As a result, consumers can receive several settlement benefits if they have ever owned one of these defective refrigerators.
The LG Electronics settlement will resolve a class action lawsuit, entitled Connie McLennan v. LG Electronics USA, Inc., that alleges the interior lights on some of its LG and Kenmore refrigerator models remain on when the refrigerator doors are closed, resulting in overheating, food spoilage, melted plastic, and even fire. LG Electronics denies any wrongdoing, but has agreed to resolve the litigation through a class action lawsuit settlement.
Class Members of the LG Refrigerator class action settlement include U.S. residents who currently own or owned one or more of the LG or Kenmore French Door Refrigerators with a model number listed on page 1 of the class action settlement notice.
Under the LG, Kenmore refrigerator settlement, Class Members can receive a 200% cash reimbursement for any money they paid for parts and labor to fix their defective refrigerator if they can provide sufficient proof, such as a copy of a repair receipt. Class Members will also receive an extension of the manufacturer’s limited warranty if they need to repair their refrigerator because its interior light remains on when the door is closed for the next 10 years.
To receive your cash reimbursement from the LG, Kenmore refrigerator class action settlement, you must submit a claim form and proof of repair to the Settlement Administrator no later than November 7, 2012.

Add me . I had this problem in 2010.
I wish this class action was not closed. We bought a Sears Kenmore Elite in August 2017. It blew the compressor 3 times and each time the compressor was replaced. They kept saying it was still under warranty because of the new parts so they would not replace the refrigerator.
We lost a refrigerator and freezer full of food…specialty food because of required diet, 3, three, THREE TIMES. This equates to around $3000.00 dollars of food…at least. I am so mad. Well after hours and hours and hours on the phone each time it quit, I FINALLY got up the chain far enough that “claims” finally approved a new refrigerator. I entered how I wanted to be paid on the email I received. They could pick one and send it to me or I could receive a check for the replacement and I go and purchase my own/my choice.
I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE CHECK TO ARRIVE IN THE MAIL ALMOST A MONTH NOW, TO THE DAY. Glad they are so prompt.
Yes LG still having issues now it’s the compressor bought in 2017 less than 3 years old the compressor went out it’s a well known issue with lg hopefully there will be a lawsuit with this issue..
We bought a Kenmore Elite French Door refrigerator around 2014 serial # 402KROO129 model# 795723793 and have had numerous problems with it as documented in Sears
Same here. Why weren’t we notified there was a potential problem with our appliance? Now it seems we are years too late to make a claim.
Sear won’t give any information and transferred me to LG. No one even contact me about this. I have a melted light and interior liner
Having frig light problems on my Kenmore Elite model 795.77553600 that falls under law suit. Tried calling different numbers, but no one knows what I’m talking about
