Customer Reviews
Very pleased with this spacious, beautiful fridgeShelley Gammon
About a month after I got married last year, our hideous, harvest gold, dilapidated refrigerator graciously went off to be with the Lord. We couldn't really afford a replacement, but I was secretly doing backflips that we could get something nice, spacious and not so hideous. While saving up funds to buy a new fridge and living out of a mini dorm fridge for 3 months, we researched various models. We definitely wanted the stainless steel variety and wanted a bottom drawer freezer... and this LG did not disappoint.The drawer slides open and closed easily with just one hand and tends to hold quite a bit of weight with the stuff we cram in there. The side door is generously spaced to accommodate 2 liter bottles, salad dressing or just about anything else. Our frozen stuff stays frozen and the cold stuff stays cold.My criticisms are few, but I do have some:Frost/ice accumulates on the left side of the drawer occasionally, so sometimes some drops off on the floor.The left door swings closed on its own - you can easily prop open the right door to load in something big and heavy, but the left door will not stay open for you.The shelf adjustment is not very elegant - you have to take the shelves out and stick them back in at a higher tier. Some competing models had a hand crank which was easier to use.The top of the vegetable compartments is covered with 1 giant piece of glass. It is hard to get out and very awkward to clean in a sink if something spills. This would have made a lot more sense if it were segmented into 2 or 3 sections for easier handling.While I know it's par for the course with stainless appliances, it's very irritating to not be able to use magnets to hold something important on the front of the fridge. It's steel, not aluminum. It makes no sense. One day, I'd like it if some manufacturer would come out w/ a stainless model that was upgraded to use magnets!The ice-maker is a tad tiny, so it gets jammed with ice frequently, causing us to take the basket out and fiddle w/ the ice to get it to move down the chute.The digital panel for selecting crushed or cubed ice is too complex... you have to press buttons a few times to get it to 'take' - this could have been executed better.The lighting is the best I've ever seen in a fridge - no harsh bulb in your face - very easily-distributed light throughout. So far, it's one of the nicest refrigerators I've ever owned. Read more ›
MediocreScot Catherwood
We bought this refrigerator 18 months ago and I don't hate it. i don't exactly love it either, just your average unit that keeps stuff cold. Durability is lacking.Good points:1) The ice maker in the door allows for a larger freezer. This design feature was the deciding factor in our purchase.2) Freezer on the bottom is larger than most.3) Shelving is versatile (very configurable to your needs)Not so good points:1) All three trays in the door have cracked in the same place and appear nearing total failure. Poor materials used in a high usage area of the refrigerator. They are removable and replacable, so there's that.2) Ice maker holds small amounts of ice. Not horrible when it's just our family of 6, but parties require ice runs.3) I read another review about the ink on the water button... Mine says "W r" now. I didn't really notice until I read the other review and looked.
Don't walk - Run awayStuart Kuzminsky
When we remodeled our kitchen in 2006 we had the following criteria for our new refrigerator: counter depth, water dispenser in the door and ice maker (not necessarily in the door)After many hours of research, both online and at different stores we selected an LG French door model with freezer on the bottom.After it was installed we noticed that the temperature showed over 90 degrees, whereas the room was about 72 degrees. Also the water dispenser flowed very slowly. According to the manual you were supposed to pull out the unit and vacuum the back. Since the unit had just been installed we called support and they referred us to the authorized tech who came out to check it. He then told us that the fridge is designed to be free-standing in the room, not "pushed" in the space between the cabinets. And then the temperature gauge would function correctly. Note - the unit is NOT built-in. The water trickle from the dispenser was working as designed.About one year later, yes, right as the warranty had expired in 2007, a small, thumbnail sized plastic tab broke off the bottom wide drawer- almost $300.00 in parts and labor to replace.In September 2009, the plastic frame that holds the bottom glass shelf (over the two half size drawers) broke in the front left corner and it is now held together with duct tape. Two weeks later another tiny plastic part that holds the lid to the left most drawer.When it comes to the general construction and design of the drawers it is substandard and LG should be ashamed of themselves. The half drawers are designed for fruits and veggies, but if you put anything heavier than lettuce in them, they fall off the convoluted rails and you need an engineering degree to put them back in. In 2010, one of the veggie drawers completely broke into parts.Support and customer service assures us that we are the only ones ever complaining about this. Replacing plastic parts is `standard maintenance'. It seems the design of metal rails and bars in combination with tiny plastic tabs and attachments is a very bad combinationIf you put bottles weighing too much in the doors they do not close properly and you have to give them an extra forceful push. LG service and support has not provided any service, just excuses.Not 5 years after purchase, we are looking for the replacement, while the 20 year old GE in the garage is still whole.On a scale of 1-10 we put LG at about a minus 5- never fully functioning, insufficient materials design, and poor service satisfaction.ps. We are a couple in our 60s, not a wild group with teenagers running around. Read more ›
Instead of LG, it should be called GL as in Good Luck.....house4paws
OK, here I go using a statement I often see. If I could give this a minus star, I would.Buyer beware of a problem with LG's quality of the materials used for this unit. I'm hoping they have improved since 2011.I have replaced every door basket I. The fridge because they have all cracked and gone into pieces.I thought my problems were fixed after that, but the other day I noticed cracks developing on the actual walls of the fridge.I have an extended warranty, but I was told the cracks were cosmetic and not covered.I did some research to find that this isn't uncommon with LG. They know they have a problem, because they have a fix for it. They advise the repair person to use epoxy. As do the cracks aren't ugly enough, I'm going to have some guy slapepoxy over the cracks so it can look totally like a POS. Not really, plus there will probablybe more cracks to come. I am now pursuing the store that sold me this unit.
