Just bought mine the other day at homedepot during an early Black Friday deal. $1030 out the Door. Very happy with that price. It sure doesn’t have all The bells and whistles other fridges might have. But this a good solid energy star rated fridge.
Here are instructions. • Throw away the first bin full of ice (about 140- 160 cubes) after installation. The first ice and water dispensed may include particles or odor from the water supply line or the water tank. This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not been used for a long time. • Dispense and throw away 2.5 gallons of water (flush for approximately 5 minutes) after installation. Do not dispense the entire 2.5 gallon amount continuously. Press and release the dispenser pad for cycles of 30 seconds ON and 60 seconds OFF. This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not been used for a long time. I did that and had no problem. Did you replace your water inlet line from the wall? It is a good practice to replace those lines when you get a new refrigerator. They can build up crud depending on how clean or softened your water is. Also, you put the filter in the top of the refrigerator, right? The line and filter I would double check first.
Hey, would you please reply wtih what is the height of floor to your cabinets and floor to extreme top of fridge? i want to check if it will fit under mine.
I had the refrigerator in two places. The measurements: Laundry Room opening: 33" deep (back wall to front of cabinets) x 44" wide (between cabinets) x 72" tall (bottom of overhead cabinet) Kitchen opening: 38" deep (back wall to corner of side wall) x 42" wide (between cabinets) x 72" high (bottom of overhead cabinet) In both cases, I didn't push refrigerator all the way back so the doors would not hit wall/cabinets.
We had an LG top French double door refrigerator with a pull-out freezer on the bottom for years. Then we moved it to laundry room and put the new side-by-side in the kitchen. The lady likes it. I am still trying to get used to small fresh food and more frozen food!
Lots of good info here, thank you. In my kitchen I need to put the fridge almost up against the wall on the right side. I have less than an inch of clearance if I choose this model. Will there be room to open the doors straight out or does the door need some extra width when opening?
Inch on the side? When opening the door to 90 degrees (straight out), there needs to be minimum 2-3 inches. Of course, to open the door wide, you need the width of the door. You would also need to open the door wider to get the bins / shelves out.
@@DrBDIY Ouch, that's a problem. Our previous fridge (Samsung) needed less than an inch as the doors were not hinged on the edge and didn't move much sideways when opening. I see your point about getting the bins/shelves out. Our previous fridge let us open the bins fine for daily use but for washing we had to slide the fridge out to get the doors open wide enough so the bins could be removed.Thanks for the help, good to know.
"After the water filter is replaced, dispense 2.5 gallons of water (flush for approximately 5 minutes) to remove trapped air and contaminants from the system." Also make sure water it turned on at the wall. You may disconnect the line from the LG to run water into a bucket to ensure line is not clogged. Connect and run a bit as indicated above to clear air.
Yes you can! The manual: Craft Ice Press the Craft Ice button repeatedly to toggle between the 3 ICE, 6 ICE and OFF modes. After 5 seconds of idle time, the last mode will be saved, and the display will return to normal. • To turn off the Craft Ice maker, select the OFF mode. • To turn on the Craft Ice maker, select the 3 ICE or 6 ICE mode.
Craft ice takes 48 hours: The icemaker begins producing ice approximately 48 hours after the appliance is initially installed. The first batches of ice may not be round and clear. Did you turn ice making on? Ice On/Off - Press and hold the Ice On/Off button for three seconds to turn the in-door icemaker on/off.
The LG side by side refrigerator is doing just fine. We like the ability to organize frozen foods on shelves instead of just a bottom bin. Guests like to comment on the round craft ice. I just changed the water filter and that was easy too.
I just bought this model. The default temp for the fridge is 37F, but my thermometer says the fridge is actually at 40F. Should i be concerned, or just set the temp a couple of degrees cooler?
My metal thermometer always shows a few degrees variances. It depends on the compressor cycle. On most fridges, be sure that food is not packed to the back and sides as it will block the flow of air. You might check if the bottom of the fridge is colder than the top. When the door opens, the temperature drops immediately. To be sure there is no problem, you could get a wired thermometer and monitor the temperature over time.
Interesting question. I just measure dour unit and we get one quart of cold water, then maybe another 1/2 quart of cooler water before regular water pours, which is still a bit ool as the pipes are underground.
@@DrBDIY thank you for that information. We have a Samsung with Sprint stores right now and we probably get about a pint glass of cold water and then it goes cool. I think the hose that contains all the cold water within the fridge must be a little smaller in the Samsung fridge.
@@All-about-everything They fixed my pet gripe with icemaker. I had an older LG fridge. The ice used to get frozen into a large single iceburg in the icemaker every couple of days, Id have to get something heavy (e.g. my sharpening steel out of the knife block) and jam it into the icemaker and break up the iceburg. The metal hook in the icemaker does it for you now.
Yes, the Water Filter icon on the control panel will light up when it is time to change the water filter. Then change the filter. Next, hold the Water Filter icon light and it will reset.
got this same model. how long did it take to make the standard ice (not craft) after installation? I’ve had it for an entire day now and I feel like it’s barely made any
This seems accurate for our unit: Ice is made in the automatic in-door icemaker and sent to the dispenser. The icemaker produces 70 - 182 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other operating conditions. • It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed refrigerator to begin making ice. • Ice-making stops when the in-door ice bin is full. When full, the in-door ice bin holds approximately 6 to 8 (12-16 oz.) glasses of ice. • Foreign substances or frost on the ice-detecting sensor can interrupt ice production. Make sure the sensor area is clean at all times for proper operation. • To increase ice production, use the Ice Plus function. The function increases both ice making and freezing capabilities.
We haven't spent any time wiping off fingerprints. The material is like a brushed stainless so prints are hard to see. If oily, sticky or dirty hands were used, it may show up more. Feeling satisfied with the product.
I have the same refrigerator delivered two days ago. We liked it but I have on issue, after two days the water is not cold water. After 24 hours I tried to drain thr water again and a warm water came out from the dispenser. Do you have this issue before??
I just bought this refrigerator. I'm so upset. It's not cold at all! I bought groceries, only to get up the next morning and all of the ice cream melted and the food was so warm. I readjusted the temperatures several times and nothing. I'm gonna return it and get a refund. I won't purchase LG again!!!
The lady really likes it. We had a top french door system for years where the shelves were much more adjustable and with less space between the shelves. I got used to that storage. With the new refrigerator, the shelves have a lot more room between each. So it is great for stacking or packing tall items on each shelf. That is the only think I need to get used to, but I am not the supreme commander of the refrigerator in our house. As far as style, quietness, ice makers, WiFi, size - it is a great refrigerator.
What an excellent presentation, concise, precise and very informative. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
I ordered mines 2 days ago it’s arriving tmr. Can’t wait to try it out
Cool

Good price.
Great review I just got mine thanks!
Enjoy it
@@DrBDIY how long did it take for your ice and water to stop having a weird taste ?
ive dumped filtered out probably 3 gallons of water and threw away 2 full things of ice

• Throw away the first bin full of ice (about 140-
160 cubes) after installation. The first ice and
water dispensed may include particles or odor
from the water supply line or the water tank.

Can you make updated video how it’s been working and if it’s caused any issues. I heard lot of complaints with ice maker/dispenser. Thank you!
No issues for our unit after 16 months. Enjoy.

That fridge need some organization lol😅
LOL. Yeah, we just packed everything into it when we swapped out the other refrigerator. Should have organize before recording. Good one.

Your are welcome.
My parents just purchased this model. Water line installed but no water coming out. Is there something we're missing?
"After the water filter is replaced, dispense 2.5 gallons of water (flush for approximately 5 minutes) to remove trapped air and contaminants from the system."
Also make sure water it turned on at the wall. You may disconnect the line from the LG to run water into a bucket to ensure line is not clogged. Connect and run a bit as indicated above to clear air.
Thank you for sharing! Can we turn of the craft ice feature to use that space for something else?
Yes you can! The manual:
Craft Ice
Press the Craft Ice button repeatedly to toggle between the 3 ICE, 6 ICE and OFF modes. After 5 seconds of idle time, the last mode will be saved, and the display will return to normal.
• To turn off the Craft Ice maker, select the OFF mode.
• To turn on the Craft Ice maker, select the 3 ICE or 6 ICE mode.
My ice makers isn't working, how do get it to work. Just bought it
What have you tried? Connected hose? Turned water on? Waited 24 hours? Didn't disable ice maker?
How long did it take to make ice. Ive had it connected for 7 hours and nothing. Amazing video by the way.
Craft ice takes 48 hours: The icemaker begins producing ice approximately 48 hours after the appliance is initially installed. The first batches of ice may not be round and clear.
Did you turn ice making on? Ice On/Off - Press and hold the Ice On/Off button for three seconds to turn the in-door icemaker on/off.
Yes everyrhing is on. Just wasnt sure. How long it took. Thanks again.
Ok, and of course make sure water is turned on at the line :)
48 hours ..... Flush out the first 4 litres using water option and ice cube option all three ....and then start using ....just in case of impurities.
@@Roshtheannah Don’t forget to go through the water flushing procedure after changing the water filter…
interested in buying this model, any issues you run into as of now after owning it for 2 years or so ?
No issues. Still running fine.
It’s too small for me,
No door handles, so the doors get dirty very easily
No door handles? The handles are the hidden black area almost in the middle of the door - horizontal.
A person has to like a side by side. This is a utility refrigerator for us. We use the french door LG which has much wider shelves.
how is the LG frig holding up? I heard a quiet of number of failed LG frig from everywhere I read the customers comment! LoL
The LG side by side refrigerator is doing just fine. We like the ability to organize frozen foods on shelves instead of just a bottom bin. Guests like to comment on the round craft ice. I just changed the water filter and that was easy too.

Still working. Ice maker produces very well. No issues.
@@DrBDIY Thank you probably gonna pull trigger on the one with knock knock on glass lol only couple hundred more.

Still liking the fridge? Ice maker doing well?
Doing well. Ice tray is always full with nicely sized ice cubes.
One tip, this video is so quiet I had to connect to an external speaker to be able to hear the non voice over parts.
Hi, sorry for that. I tested on windows laptop, mac, samsung TV, samsung phones and iphone. All work fine. How are you listening?
@@DrBDIY listening on an iPhone 13, the music and voice overs were normal, but the camera audio was at least 10db lower
How do I change the freezer temp on this fridge.
Open the top doors, look up and you will see Freezer marked on the edge. Push it and it will cycle through temperatures. Same for the refrigerator.
How much cold water do you get before the water coming out of the refrigerator starts not being as cold anymore?
Interesting question. I just measure dour unit and we get one quart of cold water, then maybe another 1/2 quart of cooler water before regular water pours, which is still a bit ool as the pipes are underground.
@@DrBDIY thank you for that information. We have a Samsung with Sprint stores right now and we probably get about a pint glass of cold water and then it goes cool. I think the hose that contains all the cold water within the fridge must be a little smaller in the Samsung fridge.
Is it a good buy? Would you recommend this brand and model?
So for the refrigerator is running well. You MUST like the shape and geometry of a side by side refrigerator. Some do, some don't.
Heard the ice maker breaks

Can I not have the craft ice area and just put my meats in that area?
Yes. You can toggle between 3 (clear) , 6 and off modes for craft ice.
Is it truly print-proof?
We haven't spent any time wiping off fingerprints. The material is like a brushed stainless so prints are hard to see. If oily, sticky or dirty hands were used, it may show up more. Feeling satisfied with the product.
@@DrBDIY wish I could say the same. The prints are horrible for me
Nice review, are the handles soft or hard to pull the doors open?
The doors open easily. The shut firmly.
How is the fridge coming along?
Works great. No issues. People like the craft ice. Nice refrigerator if you like side by sides.
I’m looking at the model without craft ice. LRSX2706S. Thanks for your reply .
I have the same refrigerator delivered two days ago. We liked it but I have on issue, after two days the water is not cold water. After 24 hours I tried to drain thr water again and a warm water came out from the dispenser. Do you have this issue before??
That is a problem.
So the water is not cold? We are trying to decide to buy the one returned at Lowes for 1,200
The water is cold in my refrigerator. The cube and chopped ice work well also.
I just bought this refrigerator. I'm so upset. It's not cold at all! I bought groceries, only to get up the next morning and all of the ice cream melted and the food was so warm. I readjusted the temperatures several times and nothing. I'm gonna return it and get a refund. I won't purchase LG again!!!
That is bizarre. Did you purchase at large store? Best to return the unit.
How do you like this fridge after a few days?
The lady really likes it. We had a top french door system for years where the shelves were much more adjustable and with less space between the shelves. I got used to that storage. With the new refrigerator, the shelves have a lot more room between each. So it is great for stacking or packing tall items on each shelf.

@@DrBDIY Thank you! I bought the same fridge and really like it too
Whats the app called?
LG ThinQ
Still made in Korea?
Yes.
@@DrBDIY when I looked at the inside at them in Home Depot it said made in Mexico
Good point. Manufacturers can make products in different countries.
Great Review...👍
Thanks for the feedback.
