Door dropped and hinges failing
Tried to make a warranty claim but got no support or answers a month later! Terrible after sales service!
Fridge was initially great. A year later and still under warranty the door started dropping. It rubbed an indent into the freezer door. You have to lift the door to open it because it jams on the one below it. I tried to get a repair agent to replace the hinges. They wanted photos to assess the door and based on the photos rejected my claim! They dont know if the door warped or the hinges are faulty but have decided I have to pay for the repairs. Disgusting service.
Never Again.
Shame on you LG for not selling a fridge fit for purpose!

It's a very nice upgrade and only a couple of minor things I don't like.
Great fridge which has an option to open the door from the other side. It's pretty quiet but not silent. No sharp edges like we saw on some of the other fridges with sharp door handles etc. Quite sturdy and sits well and not flimsy.
big solid doors and handles well even when fully loaded with drinks. There's a temperature display which is only for setting what temps you want but does not display the current temp which they should of added in my opinion. The tempered glass shelves are ok but I get a bit scared it might break when I'm laying gl...Read more
ass wine and water bottles on it. I bought a plastic bottle rack which resolved the issue. It has one of the best energy ratings out of the fridges in this price range. Advertises good warranty but I'll come back and update this review if something happens. It's got lots of little features like the retractable shelf which is a bit flimsy so I won't be playing with that too much. Only has a door alarm for the fridge but not the freezer, why not LG?? I think overall it's a great fridge/freezer but only time will tell. These days everything is made in China who have the worst quality control so having good after sales support is very important. Crossing my fingers LG looks after us if it does go south... Oh and the ice tray that you can flip over used to release ice cubes with one flick now does not release ice as easy as it used to. Not sure if that's a design fault or it's happening because I left the ice cubes in the tray for too long?

Not impressed
Fridge broke down after 2 years. The part was hard to get. Sent 3 different parts that were rusty. Now theres a horrible smell coming from it. The back inside captures dist quite bad. Needs to be serviced and cleaned regularly to avoid fire.

Looks Great....But...
I love this fridge as it works really well and looks great too!...Handles...water dispenser...All great!
It is only a year old and now it 'buzzes' when its cooling... and the buzzing keeps coming back from the left hand side of the unit...This refrigerator was always quiet when I bought it. Its not the compressor....its just a rattle/buzz from the LHS panel...that you would expect from an old 1970's fridge
At $1300 I shouldnt have to try to stop the buzzing by moving it a little every couple of days
Just seeing if there is a brand manager from LG that can help out :-)

Great fridge
We bought two of these fridges at an excellent price from Good Guys in Toowoomba. After a few months, one of them had an issue with the pump. It took a lot of back and forth and phone calls, but finally LG sent out a replacement for nothing which was great.
LG tried to send us to their local repair agent in town, who weren't very helpful. It wasn't until we pushed back on LG themselves that we finally got the replacement fridge. This took awhile to come as they didn't have the right colour in stock. However they did offer to send us a higher ...Read more
grade finish (matt black) which was worth more. We declined this as we wanted our two fridges to match. Apart from this issue, we have had no problems and find it is an excellent fridge, good size with a nice finish and internal layout. Would recommend.Similar opinion?

Best fridge I’ve owned
The fridge does exactly what it is meant too. I love the simplistic look of it and that it chimes when I’m taking too long to pack my groceries. I love the handles on the side as my toddler doesn’t quite know how to open it. It does a great job keeping food cold or frozen and doesn’t have any ice build up

Backbone of our household
Fridge is fantastic. Does exactly what any fridge should do. Temperature is constant and if you leave the fridge door is has a beeping noise to alert you. It can leave finger prints from our toddler but glad it does as it’s easy to spot dirt and to clean. Door can be set to open either direction

very noisy!
The fridge seemed just what I wanted. But it's less than a year old and I feel like selling the thing and buying another. I don't think I can live with the irritating buzzing much longer.

Great Fridge Loads Of Space
We’ve had this fridge for 1 and a 1/2 years now and it has consistently kept everything cold.
The fridge is a good size for us as we have someone living with us and it fits everything very well.
The freezer has a huge amount of space which is great as we do meals and freeze them etc.
Would have loved for it to be IoT enabled but as it’s a 2016? model it isn’t but would love to be able to monitor things via the SmartQ App.
It’s a great fridge with loads of space and it sits beside our new Washing Machine that almost matches in colour and design which is amazing.

Super happy with the price and quality!
This fridge is awesome - I love the colour and its design with the freezer at the bottom - because we are both fairly tall - that just makes everything easier! Its saves electricity too with a high energy saving scale. Trust me you won't regret :)

Very good fridge for small family
Amazing fridge for a small family.
Having the freezer on the bottom makes the fridge so much more easier to use.
The veggie drawer is very accessible which is very handy.
The fridge is extremely energy efficient. From what it looks like, our veggies and the occasional piece of fruit stay quite fresh for up to a week.
The freezer offers limited but useful space ( we did end up buying a separate freezer).
Noise wise it's really quiet 90% of the time. Every now and then it sounds like it goes in overdrive and does produce a very noticeable noise. We live in a open plan living so there isn't much to cancel out the noise.
Overall I would say it's a very good and energy efficient fridge.

LG Product Again Marred By Poor Design / Process Control / QA
- Fridge worked well initially.
- Energy efficiency seems good
- Display is useful.
- Temperature control seems good.
- Internal space usage is ok though not great and bin placement options are limited but basically usable.
- Sadly the fridge is now making so much noise it is unbearable. The number of similar reports suggest this is a fundamental issue. Furthermore I now fear for the longevity of this fridge. The symptom can be improved somewhat by firmly pushing something absorbent (eg. cushion) FIRMLY against the side. This suggests someth...Read more

Fantastic fridge for a small family!
A fantastic fridge for a small family. The 'bottom-mount' fridge has the freezer at the bottom and fridge shelving at eye-level which allows you to see everything at a glance. The freezer is deceptively very spacious allowing you to stock up and freeze food items. The fridge runs quiet and the LED lighting is bright. The retractable shelves are a great added extra. The fridge does stick out a bit further than I expected so make sure you do your measurements. We love it.

Perfect fridge for 2
Perfect size for my tiny apartment and it provides just enough food storage for 2. It has 4.5 energy rating so it is highly energy efficient with just 299 kwh per year. I like its metallic platinum look that fits the theme in my kitchen

OK, doesn't filter out smells
Fridge is OK, if a bit small in the fridge section, but the thing that really irks me is that it doesn't filter out smells like my previous cheap and really old fridge did.
So put some spagbol w/ garlic covered in it, and the next day the whole fridge smells of it. Why doesn't it have a deoderizer like my 10yo Samsung does?
Doesn't even have to be anything particularly smelly, the fridge seems to amplify all smells.

Best Fridge Ever
Thanks to the awesome service from Pakenham JB HiFI, this marvellous fridge was delivered to me the day I moved into my new home. Having never owned a new fridge in my life, I spent a lot of time researching my needs and when it came to choosing, this is the fridge I picked. I LOVE IT! Roomy, energy efficient, great looks...LOVE the LED internal lighting and the ice maker. Love the freezer on the bottom, it's so much more practical to this old woman. And JB gave me a simply great deal. Excellent customer service above and beyond, delivery was perfect, drivers friendly and helpful. The fridge is fabulous. And sooooooo quiet!

I'm looking for a small, quiet fridge for a small, open plan studio apartment. It must be quiet as I'm sleeping in the same area.
Is this fridge suitably quiet for this situation?
4 answers
Definitely not! I have to have my bedroom door closed to cut out the buzzing.
OMG thanks for letting me know. I wish ieatwords.com offered the ability to select quiet fridges. This is such hard work.
There are more and more of us living in small apartments these days so manufacturers, retailers and the like want to get on to this issue and identify suitable small, quiet fridges for this application.
Nobody wants to waste money on appliances that are not fit for purpose.
Hi Jule, I can only speak for my own fridge and definitely is quiet. If we leave the doors open for too long after a grocery shop then we can hear it, but during normal use its quiet. Best of luck in your search, but maybe go to a department store and ask a salesman for one that they would recommend and do research from there :)
