According to the trial, some Kenmore refrigerators have a defective linear compressor who leads them to stop working properly before their life expectancy promised at 10 years. The allegedly defective part made by LG Electronics, which is essential in the refrigerator to maintain fresh temperatures, is in several different Kenmore models.

According to the complainants, there are two main causes for the defect of the linear compressor. The first is that the tube of the compressor evaporator is subject to corrosion, which can create pin holes and allow the refrigerant to enter the tube. After time, this results in excessive pressure on the compressor that makes it fail. The second problem is that compressors have a discharge valve which is low and subject to fail even with ordinary use every day. AE0FCC31AE342FD3A1346EBB1F342FCB
