LG 28 CF French Door Refrigerator SS

LG 28 CF French Door Refrigerator SSMy wife selected this refrigerator because of its spacious interior and ease of use. The ice maker does not take up any interior space in the freezer compartment and dispenses both cubed and crushed ice from a small area tucked into the left refrigerator door. We no longer buy bottled water because of the filtered water this machine dispenses. You can even place cans or bottles in the door in front of he ice maker! There is almost too much room inside the refrigerator with sliding and adjustable shelving to help with most any arrangement you may need. We have had this for about 3 months now and so far no problems. Our electricity use has dropped and the kitchen is much quieter because there is no loud compressor creating the cold air.

The two shelves for the freezer are very easy for my wife to open and they self-close with little effort. They hold all that we need but because of the large refrigerator space, there seems to be a bit less freezer space. We put less used items into the lower freezer drawer. Because there are two drawers, our frozen foods are not all jumbled together and are easier to organize.

We love the fact that we can fit large items that could never have found a home in our side-by-side refrigerator. It costs a bundle but if it is for your own personal use and you don't move around a lot, I believe you will find it worth the extra money.

My LG 4 door door refrig has failed twice now (after first year). Sure the exterior design is really pretty, and the shelving well thought out, but the interior piping for water is really cheap plastic that has failed TWICE now in different locations. I am NOT talking about the line from the wall outlet to the refrigerator unit. I am talking about the unit water piping. Piping that is part of the refrigerator unit. The type of piping for the application is not adequate... LG used this type of cheap piping to save money. The failure flooded my kitchen both times. And to top it off, LG service and support is very, very poor to boot. Call backs promised but never received. Parts promised but never received.

At the same time I bought the LG refrigerator, I also bought their top of line dishwasher... It too has a serious engineering flaw that caused the counter weight system on the door to fail. Now the door, when opened, drops to the floor like a lead balloon... I took the machine apart and discovered the pully system for the door uses string! Wow I could not believe it! Of course the problem was caused by the string breaking. Surprise! I call it extremely cheap engineering (hidden of course so you can't see it....).

After researching, apparently I am not the only one to experience these problems.

I will absolutely avoid all LG appliances. I am deeply disappointed with both my LG appliances.

I will never ever buy LG appliances again after my experience with LG....

Read all the reviews before investing ... I didn't. My LG is the one that is cabinet deep not a good choice.

Stainless streaks and is NEVER clean (compared to my other stainless appliances this is pathetic)

Ice dispenser has never worked. I was told by LG (whose customer service dept. is in the Philippines) to open the door each time and bang on it (it is 1 month old)

Large bottom drawer ? Freezes lettuce and fruit. Really odd instead of two half drawers - it is one very long one so BOTH top doors have to be open to access it.

A useless fridge poor use of space. Even gallon milk containers are a challenge to fit in correctly.

2 door, LG SXS big beautiful, worked for 10 months then temperature probe failed 9 months. Still on guarantee/warranty so had a freebie probe plus free labour. New sensor lasted only one year, but as it's now out of guarantee/warranty, I paid-up. Took 1 week for LG to reach us, weekend, public holiday, busy etc. but that's NOT the point, The point is one expects a fridge to last 15, 20 years, as our neighbours and all our previous ones did. Sensor is a simple component, BUT it is the 'go/no go' item for the fridge. If the circuit in the small thermo-whatever component opens, it shuts off the fridge. The tech. didn't know why it would fail. According to the tech. these sensors are made in Thailand, but not by LG, they come from a 'supplier'. The new sensor looks identical to the first one, so it may be that LG is accepting these failure-prone sensors without changing/upgrading etc. LG seemed to have no problem with spare sensor availability. That would cost me 1 sensor a year, or less if one is unlucky, as it's only guaranteed for 3 months. Maybe I'll scour the net for a spare thermo-whatever, (the tech didn't know the name of the component), and then fit it myself. I will never buy an LG fridge again. You wanna buy an LG fridge? You have free will. (I live in Thailand)
