Got this basic model for $400 off MSRP and took the five year parts/labor warranty for good measure. Our last ice box lasted 18 years. Hope this one does as well.
Thanks for the video. How much clearance do you need on each side in order to open the doors fully so you can take out the crisper drawers? I'm considering buying the same unit but will have a wall on the right side, and it looks like you need to open the doors greater than 90 degrees to take out the crisper drawers
Great review! However, I've been searching the web for hours and can't find a video showing how the door hinge works from above. You said above that one would need 4.5 - 5" of space, but my situation may differ slightly. We have a "cabinet" for the fridge, and we want our fridge to be flush - I.e., the front of the doors are flush with the cabinet. There is a Whirlpool in the space, and it works fine (we're buying the house). May I send you a picture of what I'm talking about? I don't want to buy this, and it will not work. I do have one suggestion about future videos. Look at the lense and not the screen. Great job!
Sure I am happy to help! My email is carrie@pennymodern.com. I'm a small channel so still use my iphone to record my videos, so am hoping to upgrade to a legit video camera soon! Hopefully that will make my videos even better!
Have that almost identical fridge for 3 years to the date and it just stopped working, no warning. Called them had to wait 9 days for service they are supposed to be here Monday let's hope all goes well.
Please show how to open the upper ice maker and remove the container in there. I have a 3 year old version of this fridge and the upper ice maker gets clogged if it's not used frequently so I have to open it and remove the ice container and dump the remaining ice. Thanks for your great review!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a constructive comment. I do appreciate all feedback to improve the quality of my videos. I’m using my phone and sometimes use a teleprompter app. I will work on making better eye contact with the lens. Thank you!
Well, we'll see how this one does. It's frustrating because so many brands of fridges have terrible reviews. It seems hard to find a brand that actually is reliable. Do you have any recommendations?
Wow that is good to know! I did get the extended warranty plus I also have a home warranty, but will keep that in mind. I found that a LOT of name brand companies are having issues with refrigerators - LG, Samsung, and even Whirlpool. It makes it hard to buy a fridge!
I would not recommend a lg refrigerator. my compressor went out after 3 yrs. a repair person came out twice last month to fix the problem. lg has the WORST customer service. each time I called them they told me something different. now when I call I record the conversation. if you miss a call from their liason office, you have to wait for them to call you back. that's if they do call you back.
With the WELL KNOWN problems that LG has had with its Linear Compressors - that are well documented online all OVER the place - I do not see why anyone should even consider their refrigerators at all.

@@pennymodern4764 But there has been consistent trouble with THE LG Linear Compressors and it is well documented - and has been the subject of at least two CLASS ACTION SUITES as well. Sorry -there are so many different refrigerators out there that do not have the same problems that an aware consumer can avoid those with bad service reputations easily.
@@pennymodern4764It’s really hard to buy a fridge now. I have an LG for 7 years, replaced the compressor in 2nd year. Leaking compressor on 4th year. Needed to replace door gasket 5th year. I like the configuration and roominess it offers and mine is just simple without ice n water dispenser. It’s huge with 30 cf space. I keep another fridge in garage just in case and I have an LG repairman who can repair it faster instead of calling the LG repair service. Try to keep a remote thermometer in the fridge so you know first hand when it starts not working. People said top freezer and side by side are more reliable.
That fridge doesn’t have the linear compressor. LG no longer makes fridges with the linear compressor in 2024. It has a ‘smart inverter compressor’ which is a traditional design.
