Now select LG appliances come with Proactive Customer Care, activated when you download the ThinQ® app and connect your smart appliance. Get recommended maintenance tips and usage reports to help keep your appliances running at their best. Plus receive alerts for potential problem before they arise.
Stock-up and store everything you need. With a cavernous 26 cubic feet of space, this LG French Door refrigerator gives you ample space for all of your family’s favorite foods and keeps them conveniently organized and within reach.
Fingerprint and smudge resistant finish easily wipes clean with a soft, dry cloth, so the only lasting impression is your impeccable taste. At last, the kitchen you can’t wait to show off is the kitchen that handles real-life in style.
Dual ice makers, dispensed from the door and located in the freezer compartment, produce large amounts of ice so you never run out. This extra ice storage helps ensure that you have extra ice on hand for those hot summer days or when entertaining large parties.
Ice makers are great, but not if it means you can't fit all of your food in the fridge. The Slim SpacePlus® Ice System provides more shelf space and allows even more space for door bins.
I have the same model and like the WiFi feature. You control your refrigerator/freezer from your smart phone, increase your lower ice makers production too. It also notifies you when it is time to change both the air and water filters.
got mine today i am very happy, best value
Thanks, great review! You saved me a trip to check this out.
Awesome review!.. thanks for sharing. I will be purchasing this fridge!
Thanks for the thorough review!
I’m having this refrigerator delivered next week. We have bad water where we live so we won’t have the ice maker hooked up. We’ll add bought ice to the ice maker bin and fill our glasses that way. Another reason to not hook up the water is because most issues start with the waterline leaking or the ice maker over icing and leaking. Hope I have no problems. Bought the extended warranty just in case.
i got one it's a lot bigger than i taught, but it works very well
Great Review. I bought one in the black chrome. Love it so far.
Just bought the fridge, how are you liking it after 9 months?
so touching for an excellent video
great review... I just received mine today. I am taking plastic off and have a question,. Can the shelves be adjusted separately on the left and right side or do you need to move both sides together?
My cabinet is just like yours. I have been concerned about how this refrigerator will fit in it. Can you tell me the width of your space from wood molding to wood molding and floor to the wood molding above the frig? I think I am sold on this model and thank you for the review.
Thank you for your videos...almost went with the 800 series Bosch...then saw your video...any other videos/pictures comparing the side profile of how much different the lg compares to the bosch being a counter depth?
Good review thanks
Looks like the freezer drawer opens up nice and wide. Our Samsung freezer doesn’t open up enough to really get at everything on the top shelf.
How do you adjust the shelves. I can’t figure it out. Just had one delivered. Thanks!
Can you tell me how wide and tall your cabinet is? Did you have any trouble with installation?
I just got this fridge. I wanted to ask what is the middle part in between the crispers it came with some Styrofoam and tape and have no clue what it is, if you loft the Shelf on top of teh crispers you will see it.
How to move the shelves? I see a clip connecting the two half's but see no way to separate the shelves. Once separated I can figure out how to relocate each but need to see how to separate each half shelf .
Great review! I am interesting in this fridge, can I ask how easy to connect the water line to water/ice dispenser? Just "unscrew" the pipe from the old fridge and connect it to the new fridge? I know Costco will not do this part when they deliver. Any insight will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
I had my water line unplugged from the old fridge when Costco came. They delivered the new fridge, brought it in, unpacked it, and connected the water line before putting it into place. When I bought my dishwasher from Costco, they delivered it but since the dishwasher didn't come with an outlet cord, they offered to have an electrician come the next day to install it. most likely they will connect it for you, but if they don't, it is a simple twist on and off pipe line.
Than you for your review. I have a quick question please. Does your glide n serve deli bin has a glass top over which crisper bins sit? My old LG had something like that. I received my new LG yesterday and i have a feeling that are missing .Please let me know.
Kept forgetting to check when I opened the fridge, but finally I checked.. it does Not have the glass divider between the 2 top shelves and large bottom one. They cheaped out
@@TheStrivering Thanks for letting me know!
Nice video! Do the doors need to open beyond 90 degrees in order to access the produce drawers?
It has to open close to 180° for the drawer to come out
@@TheStrivering when you say for the drawer to come out, do you mean to be completely removed it needs to be opened close to 180? We have an angled counter to the left that won't allow it to open more than probably 100-110 degrees and I don't want to regret it if the door can't be slid out a reasonable distance to get stuff in and out of the drawer easily.
Let me post a short for you real quick.

@@sangwinacher also, here is my two year review if your interested. ua-cam.com/video/gWLlS9daP2k/v-deo.html
Hi can you tell me if you get cold water all the time or after you take 2 glasses of water the water comes out warm? I got the same model as you.
It stays cold. I think it cools through the filter or maybe it has something to do with how deep my pipes are?
Here’s a question that you might know. Do you know what it is the depth measurement without counting the doors? Thank you in advance
The answer is a year late, but it's 27 3/4"
Is there anyway to make the buttons more visible/light up?
I don't think so. But I haven't checked the manual.
Any updates on this after a year of use? Would be great to understand the good, the bad and the ugly. Thanks!
After over a year, it's been excellent. Changed the filter for the water once, it was $45 from lg website. Other than that, no maintenance, no worries. Just an excellent refrigerator that's 100x better than a Bosch that cost 3x more expensive. Honestly, I don't have anything bad to say except for something super weird.. when the power goes out due to an outage and turns back on, the water supply leaks a little. It's weird even though it's a little big of water.
@@TheStrivering I bought the same exact lg today and await delivery on Friday, crossing my fingers! I’ll have to admit I’m a bit nervous as there are dings with pretty much every refrigerator manufacturer. The design is practical and ticked most of my boxes, I’d rather have 2x freezer drawers model but that model is a tad too big for my space. The 10 year warranty thanks the class action lawsuit and NY Times saying most people seem to be happiest with LG solidified my decision. Even in your example, expensive brands like Bosch don’t fare much better.
Thanks for the update!
That's very exciting. I'm more than sure you will be happy with it. I was looking for dings and scratches on mine when it arrived and couldn't find anything, even over a year later it doesn't show minor wear.
does the ice and water spray out of the cup onto the floor when you use it? Thanks!
With ice, there's no problem. Just the usual. Ice first then liquid. With water, it has high pressure. Which is good but take time to get used to. For example tilt the short cup when pouring water so it curls in instead of shooting up. Also if there is like half a cup of water and your adding water, the stream will splash against the water and come out. But under normal circumstances, it doesn't spray weird or anything.
Any problem with filling water bottles? Seems like the spout is pretty far out from the lever and it may get all over your hand. No?
This might be helpful. And no. Water bottles are totally fine. ua-cam.com/users/shortsPsOUNffOxls?feature=share
Thanks for this review. We will be buying this fridge soon. Now that you've had it for 2 months, how do you like it?
I like it very much. Very good design. Nothing breaking. Working nice every day. Water and ice on the outside, so you don't have to crawl into the fridge to get water. Couldn't be happier and at a fraction of Bosch price.
Can you disable the lower ice maker?
Yes. There's a switch in the freezer for the ice maker.
How has this fridge been until today? Has it given you any issues?
It's been excellent. No issues. Changed water filter a few months ago, otherwise just a perfect fridge that works good and requires no maintenance or unnecessary attention.
What did you get from ordering from costco? Did you buy with the costco card? 90 day return? What else? How is the fridge now?
Fridge is good. You get excellent customer service with Costco and it something goes wrong or broken you just call them and they come pick it up or repair it but they don't hassle you like standard tv and appliance did.
@@TheStrivering Buy LG fridge from home depot or costco? Costco has one extrs year of warranty, home depot is only the one year warranty from LG.
Costco is one extrs year of warranty ontop of the one year providedby LG, for a total of 2 year warranty.
Costco includes haul away,home depot charges 40 for haul away
However the fridge costs more on costco than home depot
But home depot has 48 hr return and Costco has 90 days
Thoughts
That is a great comparison. is the price difference a lot between home Depot and Costco?
I bought electronics from Costco and ended up not using them. 9 months later I call them and go like hey, it's been 9 months but it's just standing collecting dust. I just dont like it. They said bring it back, say so and so approved it. Honestly I would pay more with Costco and go with them because of their respect towards customers. Plus they give the 2% back for exclusive membership which is very well worth it for me.
48hr really isn't much to find out if there's problem or instability with temperatures.
@@TheStrivering Costco is 1,979.99 and Home Depot is 1888.00
Did you have your lg fridge delivered in 2021 or 2020? One other youtube guy said he bought his costco fridge from costco then costco dropped off the fridge but had another company install it at the beginning of covid.
Was yours installed and delievered by costco? Did they leave and come back or install right after bringing it?
What electronics from costco did you return 9 months later? Are electronics from costco (not appliances) not 90 days?
@@TechVHD I believe I got it in 2020. Costco delivered and brought it into my home. I didn't have them unpack it cause my kid wanted to play with the box. As for installation it was a wire to plug into the wall and the water line that was a push in plug in type of deal.
Once it was in my home, I took the cardboard off and just pushed it into place. It comes in wheels so that was super easy.
The electronics and appliances have the same 90 day return policy I believe. Everything else doesn't have a time line.
I just left the store, having the Bosh delivered Thursday. After this I may regret it. Sheesh
You won't I am a technician and these LG fridges are garbage. That bosch was a lemon and pales in comparison to the LG fridge problems.
Will you tell me if this runs quietly? This is my main concern as I don’t want a noisy fridge. Thank you kindly
I can't tell you in decibels as I don't have a reader for that but it's dead silent most of the time. Some times you hear a little noise by it if the freezer was open for a while. Like loading groceries. But you only hear it if your by it. And occasionally when you take ice you'll hear it drop the ice in the container from the ice trays. I just walked up to it though and it's dead silent.
@@TheStriveringdoes yours make a high frequency noise almost like crickets? I’m trying to figure out if this is normal
@@flowerkisscandy no. I can't stand that sound. Lol I would go crazy already.
@@TheStrivering I called LG and they said that’s a normal sound. It’s like a high pitch pulsating buzz. I’m just gonna switch it out for another one and see if it’s any different. Thanks for letting me know
It has been two years since you made this video. How is this regrigitator preforming now?
Hello, it's working out great. I love it and no problems. About 4 months ago I made a updated review. You can check it out here. ua-cam.com/video/gWLlS9daP2k/v-deo.html
@@TheStrivering Thank you
I have the same model fridge, How come I don't have 2 ice maker's?
I'm not sure. Maybe the new ones they make don't have a second ice maker?
Does the outside spout dispense cubed & crushed ice too or do you have to open the ice box (inside the left door) to get ice? Do you mind creating a short video of getting cubed & crushed ice and share it? If you don’t want to upload such a small thing on UA-cam, I can share my email address with you. It’d be very helpful!

@@TheStrivering Thanks a ton! This is super helpful!
How’s it working so far ?
Really good almost 2 years down the line. Better than my whirlpool and Bosch.
10 months later how do you feel about your purchase?
Love it. It's working great. Looks great. All the functions work great. Nothing to complain about. I will put up a update video pretty soon.
@@TheStrivering thanks. Making purchase decisions on long-term appliances is hard because most customer reviews are made just after purchase.
You weren't concerned about compressor issues? LG now has an arbitration legal notice in their fridges they sell.
I had a Bosch refrigerator before this one, that one was probably 3 times more expensive and broke within in a few months. Bosch showed the worst customer service and wouldnt take the fridge back. Instead they would schedule a repair company to come to fix the fridge. For over a year they would schedule the repair, 2 weeks later they come to diagnose and leave to order the part. 4 weeks later it comes. 2 weeks later they come. after rebuilding the fridge in my kitchen, 1 part at a time, it was finally deemed unrepairable and they paid me back for the fridge. After that experience i figured i can buy a new LG every month and it will last me longer than a Bosch and save me money. lol
but no, the LG is awesome. its coming up on two years old and no problems. I wanted to sue Bosch but then saw how much lawsuits they have open and their tactic of prolonging court till the customer just drops it, and decided that wasn't the right way to go. Luckily I was still in my warranty and beat them down till they took the fridge back.
@TheStrivering all of the current freestanding bottom freezer fridges are plagued with problems. LGs have compressor issues, Fridgidaire and Samsung have evaporator issues, GE has electronics issuses, Bosh has all the problems you described, whirlpool (kithen aid) electronics and evaporators.
I am considering Sub Zero only because they make their parts in the U.S. in Wisconsin and Arizona and are opening a new factory in Iowa. Would rather pay out the butt for something that will last 20 years and have parts readily available. Bosch is ruing their good name with their refigerators
@@alexanderjamieson7971 Sub-Zero was my first option but the price settled me down a bit. I should of went with them. I haven't heard anything bad about them and all the technicians that came to my house said they have Sub-Zero and wolf appliances.
Best of luck on your purchase.
Today my LG refrigerator came.....AKA start the clock cause you have a good 3 years until the compressor dies
lol Yah right ....
@@DanielField2023 I am a technician and I diagnose failed compressors all the time on LG fridges. They are garbage.
@@baahbyjoe4850 honestly, I feel like today’s appliances are not made to last anymore… at least not like the older ones. I have an old Samsung side by side that we purchased from lowes back in 2005. It started to have issues with the fridge not cooling in 2016. We got it fixed and we just now are having the same issue again. Trying to find someone to fix it. I hope I can get it fixed cause I love my fridge. Configurations are perfect, ice maker is awesome! I cannot complain. If not, I really don’t know what to get cause they all seem to be cheaply made.🙁
I heard an insider secret that GE fridges are the best. We always think of GE as a low-end brand, but that was before companies started making products that were worse. Things do break down, but they’re easy/cheap to fix and the compressor is solid. Only problem is that GE just sold to Hisense, a Chinese company. Although many GE fridges are still made in the US, I’m predicting it’s just a matter of time until that changes.
That's what I've heard. But it's just for fridges.. that's the problem. Most people like to uniform their home with same brand appliances. At least in the kitchen. i wouldn't use GE for everything.
