    There has not been a single performance fault with the machine all of the other functions are excellent . It is easy to clean and always looks smart. It is not noisy at all, in fact you don't know it is going it is so quite. It is one of the best refrigerators we have had in 53 years of marriage. Thank you LG for the product. Can you tell me how to fix the problem door?

    Worst!, Dont touch it,

    published

    We bought this LG GM-B208BVS in Dec 2010 with 3 years extra years of warranty.
    It was working ok, all of a sudden it stopped working after 6 years one month.
    Called a technician he said it will cost me more than $500 to fix it, he will give only 3 months warranty. decided not to repair.
    I will never buy any LG product,

    Do not touch

    published

    Known for being a poorly built and designed fridge. Always freezes up making the fridge not work. Fortnightly event of turning the fridge off, defrost and then turn back on. Something you should not have to do!

    Lg made updates to more recent models.

    Plenty of far better models around.

    Worst!

    published

    Bought it $1700 at Bing Lee in 2009. Stopped working just after 2 years warranty. Called LG service center, they told me I need to pay it by myself. Speed 200 dollar to fix and then worked for another 0.5 year only. We threw more than 500 dollar food because of this machine.

    Has had problems with the element on the door since it was delivered and installed

    published

    This fridge is OK, except the element on the door drips water and has been for months. It was changed a couple of times under warranty yet it still does it. Have called LG customer service - what a joke - no customer service there - you get someone in the Philipines that can't speak proper english and no one calls you back to help you. LG need to improve their lack of service and I would appreciate it if we could speak to someone in Australia/

    Fridge stops cooling

    published

    Every few months my fridge resets the cooling and resets the cooling thermo .
    Essentially I wake up to spoilt milk. Bad design means you can't close both doors at the same time. Good fridge - i have owned one for 4 years but now I would much rather get a FP or Electrolux.
    Almost everything
    Doors, cooling

    Bad

    published

    built in mexico. if i had known that i would not have purchaced. good refridgerater for the time it was working but will never touch an lg product again.
    great for a compact kitchen.
    14 months after purchace freezer works fine but fridge has stopped. very noisy and freezer ices up.

    Great, slim line french door for those that don't have a big kitchen but still want the three doors

    published

    Great depth, large freezer drawer. Only problem is that the fridge door don't easily close therefore you have to ensure you push the doors solidly. Only owned it a short while but it's great so far.
    Slim but deep, great for platters.
    Frige doors need to be consciously pushed shut

    The best fridge I have ever purchased.

    published

    I allows you to know if it isn't closed properly. The freezer drawer is magical with the instant freeze/chill button when you need a bottle of wine or beer chilled quickly. I love the double french doors. The brushed stainless steel front looks very sleek and no-one can put messy advertising fridge magnets at the front, they all go down the side. Love it. I fits perfectly into the very awkward space my kitchen builder left me as he built around a very old odd sized Americana Fridge. Loved it too, it just gave up the ghost.
    Looked great and filled the space perfectly and the freezer is fantastic.
    Not enought side shelves supplied. I wonder are you able to purchase extras?

    Extra shelves can be purchased :-) May be a bit pricey though. Read somewhere else that they were almost $50 each, though I doubt that.

    Hi Phlipas can you advise me on how you established that you have power at the power point. That will assist me in establishing where the fault could be.

    Freezer not freezing what is happening?

    Hi Kath.
    My experience would suggest the freezer fan has frozen up!
    You will need to turn the fridge off at the power point. Pull out the freezer draw and if you look to the back wall inside the freezer I would suspect it is coated in ice. Keep the fridge off and use something to keep the freezer door open until all the ice has melted completely. Once the ice had melted turn the power back on. The issue with this fridge is the factory setting for the freezer is too high. When you turn the power on the freezer factory setting is probably 4. Since I have adjusted my freezer setting to 2, I haven’t had any issues. Good luck. Mike.
