Re: LG Fridge/freezer minibar door – defective design?
Hi Playmoor,
I bought the fridge at the same time as you and I have had almost the exact experience as you. Each mini bar door lasts around a year and then the plastic latch snaps. I can only presume that the constant low temperature is effecting the plastic and it eventually becomes brital and then snaps.
I have now bought three replacement doors and the last one we took extreme care with the always held the latch open when closing the door as it didn’t bang closed and constantly put pressure on the latch. Doing this did make it last a bit longer but it still snapped after around 15 months.
So far LG are not interested and say they have no other reports of this fault.
I cant see any way of improving the latch but next time it breaks will be the last for me and the last LG fridge too!!!
Where have you managed to but a door for £90?? I cant find one for less than £130!!
