Bought this for my LG fridge (Kenmore Elite) because the control board was faulty and it was expensive. The fridge was actually just over 5 years old and hooked up to a cheap surge protector when it started having all sorts of icing problems - leading to a range of repairs from a new linear compressor, new sensors, a new capacitor core and a new control panel. While some of these repairs are obviously not related to power surges, I just wanted to take an extra step to protect my investment in a $3,500 unit that I had to spend another $1,000 on repairs after 5 years, which would be much higher if it wasn't the fact would be some of it was warranty work!) The question remains widespread as to whether a fridge needs a surge protector, and I agree that older fridges didn't have it. But having seen the control board on these new devices I would say yes it is definitely needed! I'll probably never know if this device actually helps extend the life of the device, but it's inexpensive enough to take a chance.
