1 year agoThe fuel nozzle is a completely mechanical implement - there’s nothing electronic about it, and the pump has no idea whether you are manipulating the trigger or using the hold-open.
Because it’s mechanical, however, the way the hold-open is designed needs to allow for further actuation of the trigger mechanism to free up the hold-open lever when your tank is full. Because of this, the highest setting on the hold-open is less than the full actuation of the trigger mechanism.
Had one of their fridges a while back with their proprietary compressor design. It kicked the bucket at about 2-3 years old. All appliance repair shops that I contacted in my area, including an LG-certified one, declined repairs. Most of them even immediately asked if it was an LG when I asked if they did compressor replacements to head me off at the pass. It was a good product while it worked, but that’s only half the equation.
