I've heard the same thing about LG's as well. The overall consensus is that they've made them far too complex to the point if a single, small, generally insignificant component fails, the whole system shuts down. I had bought an LG Inverter window AC last year to bide my time until I replaced my heat pump, and that thing had over 100 points used for its diagnosis board, ranging from probes for the temps and pressures on the high and low side, air flow, and a bunch of stuff that was redundant. While yes, it's an inverter unit, it doesn't have to be made that complex! I'll stick with my now 18-year-old Frigidaire refrigerator with its simple design that the only thing I've had to do so far is replace the water switch and motor for the ice maker...
