@LGIndia @LGIndia @LGUS
What's the point of DM-ing you when your reps still keep giving us a runaround? Please consider this a final warning after which I'll be pursuing this legally. What's the point of a warranty if this is how you are to treat your customers.

@LGIndia bought a fridge less than a year ago and it has stopped working now in the middle of this unbearable heat. Your local reps in Chennai are not being responsive to our calls for a service request. Could you help, please?
