Anyone considering an LG fridge should read this carefully.

https://www.lgfridgesettlement.com/

tl;dr their compressor design is poor, resulting in limited lifespan of 2-5 years (if lucky).

If you still want to buy an LG, be prepared to replace it within a few years.

Your comment cannot be blank.

Irrelevant to this deal - I got one of those 4-door fridges (french doors top and bottom) a couple of years ago and I can't go back.

I'm terribly unorganized and these bottom freezer drawers end up hiding a bunch of frozen foods that I forget about because it's hard to access them.

If anyone else has this problem, I highly recommend trying out the 4-door fridges (mine is Samsung).
Samsung can be had cheaper. Nobody really wants Samsung

Did a lot of research when buying fridges and all I read was dont buy Samsung. there was an ask reddit for appliance repair salesman and they said the same about poor samsung reliability and high repair costs. Good TVs but horrible fridges.

I did the research too, bought the top rated (consumer reports) GE, doors didn't seal when closed, the whole fit and finish was poor, returned it and bought the cheapest Samsung side by side. All fridges are shit, expect 5yrs life span, $1300 over 5yrs, I can swallow, $2000+ for 5yrs, no thank you. FYI, this is my second Samsung, most customer complaints are the ice maker, as long as it cools/freezes, I could care less about the performance of the ice maker.

Quote from chingfue :
I'm with you on looking at the scratch n dent section first. We hit all the big box stores to small shops before settling on new appliances last year. It was a surprise to us that the scratch n dent shops/section cost just as much as the new appliances.

To a point, I don't blame the Karen who complained about a small dent and returned it. Unfortunately, the big box store policy is that the consumer should inspect items before accepting delivery. If there is damage, then the consumer can refuse delivery and request refund or wait for a new appliance for re-delivery. Big box stores do not offer a partial refund on damage items.

TLDR: If I paid full price on an item then I would expect there shouldn't be any blemishes or dents. You should not have to compromise your self dignity to appease the internet.
I totally understand wanting a brand new item with no blemishes, id send it back too probably, lol but I will also be more than happy to buy scratch n dent stuff for $1000+ off haha

i bought the same fridge. looks really cool and the window is also nice.
the compressor sometimes produces a long low frequency sound.
a lot of condensation around the ice making machine.
if you don't use the ice maker for 1 week, it will all be in clump together

i replaced it with my 20-year-old whirlpool that actually still has a working ice maker.

I have this similiar model without the in door water and ice. The ice tray for my model is in the freezer and is a good size for our use. Ive never found these "in door" ice dispensers to hold enough ice and be able to keep up with demand. You also lose a lot of space since it makes the door bulky. We just bought a 3stage RO water filter for under the sink with a sink side dispenser and ill never go back to relying on the fridge filter. 100% worht it, and you maximize the fridge space. Our LG wasnt making is much ice, but it was covered under warranty and LG sent us the new part. literally two screws and although they called top schedule someone putting it in, i asked if i could just do it and they said sure, told me how over the phone, and its been fine ever since. Lots of complaints about LG service, but my experience has been fine. The "knock on" door light feature is a gimmick. Used it a few times in the beginning, but its easier just to open the fridge.

They absolutely do, its how I got my open box/dented fridge. Geeksquad truck came and delivered it and hooked it up.

Home depot, however, did tell me they did not deliver open box items. I was like ok lol bye.

I'd recommend getting a model without the glass.

I have this exact one and the door in door is a PITA to keep at a good temp. I ended up removing the top most shelf in the DiD compartment and will periodically turn on the power air circulation mode when too much cold air has been lost to kids/wife keeping it open.

The glass is a gimmick and is inferior to a properly insulated door.

Otherwise, it's a good fridge, but the gimmicks don't add to the functionality


I don't really trust fridges with water lines, so I manually refill the ice dispenser. It works well - but the bin is small

We bought this from Costco a few months ago. Water from dispenser taste fine, ice taste horrible. I throw out the ice every morning. Costco has sent repair people out to replace both ice dispensers. Still having the bad ice taste. We make our own ice in trays and it taste just fine (I have used water from the tap and from the refrigerator water dispenser).

For delivery I had to take off both my screen and front door to get it in the house.

We never use the Knock Knock unless we are showing someone how it works.

Outside of the bad tasting ice, no issues so far. I did have a hard time finding room for tall wine bottles so I removed one of the shelves.

Some people have said the craft ice isnt using filtered water, hence the awful taste. I did research on the craft ice thing and decided against when shopping for fridges a few weeks back. Everyone seems to have the same complaint so the feature is kind of worthless.

I bought the 4-door version of this refrigerator a couple of weeks ago when my old one died.

This is a great deal…I wish I'd had the option of waiting.
