Quick Answer

Check the compressor warranty before paying anything — this could cost you nothing.

LG linear compressor failure changes the usual math in one specific way worth knowing before paying anything.

3 Things That Decide This

Warranty first. LG has historically covered linear compressors up to 10 years on certain models — check your serial number.
ThinQ issues. Connectivity problems don’t affect cooling — don’t let this push you toward replacement.
Everything else. Door seals, ice maker parts — priced the same as any brand.

Ballpark Pricing: Compressor (out of warranty): $290–$490. ThinQ module: $95–$145.

Bottom Line: Check the compressor warranty before paying anything — this could cost you nothing.
