There are some comments about bad compressors. Commenters have said this model doesn't have a bad compressor. I don't know anything about the issue. - Навчання та стиль
Thank you for this video - I only needed to figure out how to get Smart Diagnosis to work, but your demo was the ONLY thing that helped me. I spent over 3 ****ing hours yesterday trying to figure this out, only to learn that my fridge is NOT wifi-enabled (even though I thought it needed wifi for Smart Diagnosis), and that the ThinQ app is very confusing and unhelpful. All the LG videos and FAQs were garbage. Thanks!
Glad it helped. Don't forget this specific smart diagnosis video also:

What a great run-through. Just purchased this online after our 14 year old Samsung fridge died today. Delivery next Saturday & this will help me out a lot. Thanks!
Cool. Super quiet. Lots of room. Not overdone with tech.
This video is great! Thanks.
Glad you like it! There is another video that details more of the app diagnostics.

Thank You for the detailed video on your setup. I just purchased this same fridge today to replace a 3 year old Frigidaire that went out. Hopefully this one will last us longer than that.
Enjoy. Check out the videos on setting up diagnostics also.
Great review! I’m hoping I get this fridge by the weekend.
Hope you enjoy it!
Very helpful. Thank you
You're welcome!
Amazing video!
Thanks!
Im pretty certain you don't have to have the shelves staggered. Each side has their own places to hook into. I double checked home depots website and the manufacturer pictures as well as the customer review pics ahow shelves that are lined up straight across! How are you liking it? This is top on my list to get! I'm still researching though!
Way to go. I went back and just realized that one side of the shelf has a protrusion and the other shelf has an indentation. I never looked closely enough. Looks like the shelves will align.
@@DrBDIY Awesome! Glad that helps you... It may come in handy one day! Are you still liking the fridge? I'm looking at one right now.. Likely about to purchase!
Lots of room. Ice maker works great and fast. Other units cost more and have more features that we don't need. We are pleased with the performance.
Sir, do the door bins adjust up and down? Also, the LG pictures indicate that there are shelves on the very bottom of the doors where someone could store butter or other smaller items. I don't see this on your review and video...can you answer these questions for us? Thanks!
Hi. The door bins are not adjustable. The lower two bins on both doors are for tall items, meaning there is a lot of clearance for items like bottles of juice, milk, wine, salad dressings, etc. The top bins on both sides have a small clearance. You can store butter and short items in these bins. You can also store butter inside on the top right shelf which has little clearance. Our model is LRFCS29D6S. There may be variations of the same refrigerator that have a different model number.
Looks like a really nice fridge, and we had bought this on a Cyber Monday sale, but in the few weeks before it actually would get delivered we got cold feet after reading how LG fridges still appear to be having compressor failures. Certainly hope you don’t encounter that down the line.
I supposed any appliance part can go bad. Our oldest LG French door refrigerator was purchased in 2009, 13 years ago and still works like new. We gave that unit to a relative. We have a French door (kitchen) and side by side (laundry room) and they work great also.
This model should be trouble free as it does not have the linear compressor. LG fridges with the label "Smart Inverter" have a conventional compressor
This fridge has the inverter compressor so it wouldn’t apply to this model. Only the linear compressor models fail like that
Very nice review, thank you for the time you took to provide this for everyone. I have one question I was hoping you could answer. If we don't anticipate needing to use ice for a while, is it possible to remove the ice bin and use the space as extra freezer storage? I know that there is an off button for the ice maker, but sometimes the whisker that is used to sense the amount of ice in the bin or other hardware prevents one from using the space as extra freezer space. I could not tell from the online literature or your video if this is the case with this LG refrigerator. Kind regards.
There isn't an arm. There is a small switch. Too small to get in the way.

It is difficult to get a picture of the switch, but it is under there.
@@DrBDIY Thank you, very helpful!
Just wondering if the hinges can be easily detached? Our front door is only 31” wide, 32” max is at risk of scratching the sides
If you take the doors off, the depth is either 29 7/8'' (759 mm) (models LRFCS29D6*, LFXS28968*) or 28 1/2˝ (724 mm) (models LFXS26973*). Removing the doors is explained in the install manual from Home Depot. It isn't too bad of a job with some help.

I didn't take the doors off of the fridge, but I did take them off of the doorway for more room.
Great review. This fridge does not have the notorious linear compressor. Where is this fridge made?
I think there are various manufacturing locations. This unit is made in Mexico.
I bought this secondhand. My old owner confirmed that the ice machine was working and I brought it home and connected the waterline again. It's been more than 4 hours since I turned it on, and when I touched the inside of the ice machine, the ice was completed, but it didn't fall into the ice bucket. The manual says it will work after 48 hours, so can I get the ice in the ice bucket after 48 hours?
48 hours should work. Our ice maker bucket fills up quickly every week. I wouldn't think 4 hours is enough time.
Which drawer is the high and low humidity crisper drawer? I can’t find the information anywhere
Two drawers on top can each be selected as Fruit or Vegetable. The bottom drawer we use for lunch meats and cheeses. Found this:
"The general rule of thumb is to put things that tend to rot in a drawer with a low-humidity setting. This includes fruits and veggies that emit an ethylene gas, like apples and pears, because leaving the window open on the drawer gives those gases a chance to escape. When the gases are released, it helps keep the fruits and vegetables from rotting prematurely." So, slide the upper drawer setting to Fruit to open the vent.
"Things that wilt go in the high-humidity drawer. This will be all your leafy greens, like arugula, spinach, and herbs. By having the window closed, water vapor is held in the drawer and the moisture keeps the greens crisper and fresher longer. Keeping fruits and vegetables that are sensitive to ethylene gas, like strawberries, in this drawer will also keep them away from ethylene producers." So, slide the upper drawer setting to Vegetable to close the vent.
Ethylene gas sensitive:
Apples
Asparagus
Avocados
Bananas
Broccoli
Cantaloupe
Collard Greens
Cucumber
Eggplant
Grapes
Honeydew
Kiwi

Great video. I have same model but the right door doesn't close automatically by the pressure. I need push to close. Anyone seeing this issue?
I haven't seen this. A first thought is the doors are unbalanced. Check that. If you raise the front legs, the doors will shut faster and firmer. Also make sure the tops of the doors are level with each other.
My biggest gripe with this smart inverter technology is the variable cooling. Stick a highly accurate chemistry lab style mercury thermometer in there and you will see what I mean. Temperatures are all over the place! Even if you haven't put any additional items into the fridge you will see a variation of up to 10 degrees from coldest to warmest! LG also recommends after each temperature setting adjustment that you interrupt the power supply for one minute. Why on earth with a modern-day appliance would one need to unplug it from the wall or trip a breaker at your electrical panel after making a temperature adjustment? Still, if you want it colder than the default setting (I did), then you best throw the breaker, wait for one minute, and turn it back on. Otherwise, the fridge doesn't know that you changed the temperature setting. It's like having to reboot your computer after installing an update!
That is wild. You must have gotten an odd person in support. My fridge runs great. I haven't unplugged it since installing. I do know that most modern refrigerators with a circulation fan may do odd things if groceries are packed to the sides, thus reducing air flow. I keep everything not touching the sides.
I had another brand that kept the temperature more constant. The problem was that the fan ran constantly. Also, food holds cold temperature better than the air.
When opening the door 90 degrees, does it stick out past the side of the fridge at any point? My fridge space is right next to a wall and if it sticks out past the side it will hit the wall.
I estimate about an .5 to 1 inch past the side of the fridge. Of course, the handles are 3 to 4 inches.
I have the same issue with a short wall next to where our fridge will go. Do you happen to know the width of the fridge (not including the handles) when both doors are open to 90 degrees?@@DrBDIY
Do the shelves slide in and out? Shelves above the crisper drawers
Hi, the shelves do not slide. They are all fixed. You can only adjust a few for height.
@@DrBDIY Thanks
I bought this on the house I'm flipping. 4 hours on and has not make ice yet. I had it on ice plus. The hos isn't kinked. It is in on. I just turned the ice plus off. Let's see if it works.
from the manual: • It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly
installed refrigerator to begin making ice.
Does it keep cold in fridge and freezer ?
Yes. There are separate coldness settings for both compartments.
How deep are the shelves? I'm wondering if I can get a sheet pan front to back.
The half shelf is about 17" deep and 15" wide. The double wide is 17" x +30". See this picture of the largest sheet pan on the half shelf.

@@DrBDIY that's amazing, thanks so much for your reply. This unit seems to be the best by all accounts yet they don't keep them in stock at any big box store. Costco has them on for only $1,200. With your comment sealing the deal in going to purchase. Thank you!
I read there were several similar models of LG at this time. Some model number(s) had some issue with the compressor. Mine is working fine. If you are buying from a retail chain store, ask them. Otherwise, be sure to search the specific model number to see if you find any discussion about issues.
@@DrBDIY I found your video AFTER finding the fridge I wanted. Turns out it's the exact same model number. Replacing a side-by-side fridge that lasted 17 years. I guess if I get half that out of a current day appliance I should be happy.
does it have water dispenser??
It does not have a water dispenser.
the smart diognosis doesn’t work
Are you sure you have the same model? I will post a diagnosis specific video. .
