Firm improves core technology, product warranty, others

Home appliance division, LG Electronics, has announced a core technology that has availed a 10-year warranty for its home appliance category in Nigeria.

Speaking on this innovation, General Manager, Home Appliances Division, LG Electronics, West Africa operations, Jiung Park, said: “at LG, we understand that durability is just as important as strong performance and now. It is in furtherance of that quest that we recently achieved unprecedented technological advancements with the core technology of some of its products which came with critical acclaim along with the patent right.’’

Expatiating the warranty on the innovation, Park highlighted that though the brand is the foremost to offer a decade-long warranty of reliability on a large array of its product offerings in the country, however, the 10 year warranty offering covers only specific parts of the selected products from the date of purchase.

For instance, Park cited the revolutionary inverter linear compressor in the refrigerator, which enables the refrigerator to consume 32 per cent less energy and produces 25 per cent less noise is one of the products covered by this 10 year warranty, create an optimal temperature balance in thereby extending the time food stays fresh as conducted test revealed the Linear Inverter Compressor was found to have an estimated lifespan of 20 years.

Therefore, we placed a 10year, core technology warranty on the linear inverter compressor of refrigerator.

Park further said that the compressor in the Chest freezer boast of a 10-year warranty with the offering of super-fast blast freezing features and the low voltage stabiliser (LVS). The LVS, a truly practical piece of technology allows the chest freezer to function properly, even when local electricity supply is unstable, specifically for the African consumer.

According to him, there is direct rotation between the brushless motor and the drum unlike the conventional washer which makes use of belt connection. Also, another remarkable innovation is the six-motion technology, an inverter module embedded inside the motor which optimises its voltage and frequency and is possible to operate motor efficiently which in turn provides precise control during time of washing. With 6-Motion technology all cloth types: cotton, wool, silk, denim and so on are being careful washed according to its textile type.

Other products with the core technology include: LG Refrigerators and Chest Freezers, with Linear and Smart Inverter Compressors, LG Washing Machines with Inverter Direct Drive Motor, LG Charcoal Lighting Heater in microwave oven and LG Cordless vacuum cleaner with Smart Inverter Motor.
