It shows $699 selling price. And this price is standard everywhere. However, surprisingly Lowe's had $611 sale price for couple of days and I pull trigger at low price tag.
3:36 To get the door to close on its own, you have to raise the front two legs a little as indicated in the manual. Use a two-foot spirit level on the top with someone watching so it's horizontal. This will create a slope that helps the refrigerant to more easily flow back to the compressor. It will also mean any spills on the shelves also do the same thing and collect down the back, so clean that area regularly.
8:11 You have overloaded the fridge. Don't cram the shelves full like that. Max loading is 70% of usable volume to maintain airflow throughout the fridge.
9:20 Leaving the door open for 15 minutes will take time to cool down. Because there is a heat load you just loaded in there. Also, since you have crammed it full, there will be less airflow, further hindering cooling. If you do not exceed 70% max loading it will cool faster. Also, try to reduce your loading time if possible. How fast does your primary fridge take to lower the temperature in such a situation? it must have better airflow.
This looks like a basic model without even a digital thermostat. The one I have is 470 Litres with that so I don't deal with setting 1 & 2 I say give me -18C in the freezer and 4 in the fridge and my accurite fridge thermometers show exactly that. Since it's spec'd for the tropics the insulation takes more space than where you are so internal volume is less for a given external dimension. The door is opened regularly but it is not left open for minutes. We're perfectly fine with it as a primary fridge. Oh and in India any LG over 400 litres comes with a light in the freezer too. That is a first in my life experience and I love it 😊
Oh, and my vents are on the side where the door closes and a tower strip at the back which is difficult to block. Circulation seems good. I am satisfied with the top-down lighting. Earlier LG models were backlit and that was definitely not good. As for flimsy panels, that varies based on the model. The cheaper ones are like that. Pay a little more and they are stiffer. I don't see any such give with my LG model in India but then I paid Rs.55k for it.
After having it for awhile, do you still like it? I am looking for a refrigerator that is as quiet as possible, as my main refrigerator. I live alone, though, so it doesn't get opened too often.
I just bought this and I can see some styrofoam around temperature controls on top in fridge section .. is this normal ? do I need to remove it ? or leave it ?
@@80sBornWorrior ..you cannot remove it. I tried but it is very hard to remove it.. finally I contacted LG support and after looking at the picture which i did sent them .. they said don't remove it. it act as an insulation in place to keep condensation from forming.. it is not an packing material..
@@neomatrix4412 Good luck with yours Neo. Got mine at Lowes also. It hasn't completely quit...yet, and I did have ice the next morning when mine started acting up. But items don't seem as cold as they were B4. And I believe it's set correctly for max cold. Can I ask you a favor? Could you let me know if you can feel a "rush" of cold air coming outta the fridge or freezer vents? One video states a fan blows into the compartments, and mine doesn't blow any cold air at all. It may "radiate" into the fridge, but not with any force or flow. Not sure if my compressor is on it's way out, or a fan quit working. Or even something electronic. Behind the fridge is a cover for the electronic control panel. Doesn't impress me. Thanks.
I'm still stand on my review. I would only buy this fridge if it used for secondary / basement requirements. I seen many time temprature drops and takes longer time to get back to 37F. The top shelf where temp always stays high. Also, I did said in my review that it has 2 way air flow. However, I learned that it only have 1 way air flow. Air comes from top (right underside of freezer) and moves between shelves and back wall. It is rated with highest energy efficient rating. So this fridge do best to keep lowering energy usage. For that it scarifies constant temperature control.
Good review
Very thorough review thank you
Nice review...keep up the good work.

$399 at Sam's Club right now. I don't even need one...I'm buying it as a back up.
Thanks for your review! 🤙👍🙏

10:14 The fridge should be placed on a six-inch stand or less to avoid jamming your toes each time you open the door.

Yes, working at its best.
Thanks @@80sBornWorrior !!
Where are the LG refrigerator coils (model #LTCS20020W) location for cleaning?
I just bought this and I can see some styrofoam around temperature controls on top in fridge section .. is this normal ? do I need to remove it ? or leave it ?
Of course, remove it.

I need to know why it leak and not cooling
I have this fridge. Almost 2 yrs. It just quit working. Stopped cooling, top, and bottom. Not fun.
I just bought one 😒 on sale at Lowe's

Are you going to do a 2month follow up?
