LG ThinQ Care Warranty Promo

Offer Expires: 7/11/2024 to 12/31/2024 Must be postmarked by: 2/28/2025

Purchase a qualifying LG product and register it through ThinQ app to receive a free 1 Year Extension on Manufacturer Warranty, valued up to $185. Rebate form must be postmarked by 2/28/2025.

Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

It works now

Scott630 8/11/2024

It works now but it had a defective part and did not work when it was installed. Additionally the first tech did not have the parts with them to repair the defect. It took over two weeks to complete repair after first installation.

Wait and see

ScottMP 7/12/2024

We bought this unit for a home under construction and only recently pulled it from storage. Upon setting it up it dried one load of clothes and then stopped working. It took 5 days to get on the schedule for a service tech. They were unable to make the repair and it took six more days for another tech to properly fix the brand new unit.

Outstanding washer

vergance 8/13/2023

My wife is extremely happy with this washer. We had a rental with a very similar washer and she loved it - so when we bought our home we purchased this unit. Very fast very quiet and very efficient. This model is quite large however - which is great for larger loads. Just make sure it fits.

Will not stay connected to the LG app.

LAcaSTV 7/6/2023

The dryer will not connect or stay connected to the LG app. ALL my other LG appliances are connected and no issue. When I do an internet search about this issue this has been going on with others owners also.

Excellent Appliance Customer service

Avantika Anand 5/16/2023

I recently reached out to LG for my clothes not drying in the dryer unit. Unfortunately it was my negligence to not clean the filter properly causing that issue. Actually the dryer unit was all good and in perfect working condition. I apologize for that inconvenience caused. I still owe thanks to your technician and customer service teams who helped me resolve the situation.
