LG LMXS27626S French Door Refrigerator, 27.0 Cubic Feet, Stainless Steel

We are very pleased with our new LG refrigeratorIce maker is quick and hidden in the door.Having two freezer door make it easy for us to find stuff easy.

It was a damaged product. Sending it back to seller as we speak.

The media could not be loaded. It looks good and works well, but the ice maker and the water dispenser are atrocious. In a quest to gain an extra cubic foot of space or so, they made the ice maker very very small. That means you get about a tall glass full of ice from it and it's done, you must wait for more. Making a pitcher of margarita or some other icy drink is not going to work with this model.The design choices they made for the water dispenser are also baffling. On my old LG fridge, water and ice came down the same chute and the dispensing was triggered by the same big rubber-covered button - a simple and effective design. On this one, the dispensers are separate, ice comes out from the normal spot, while water comes out of a small dispenser above the ice chute. This is dumb to begin with as one has ample space to position a glass/cup under the ice chute but not under the tiny water dispenser. Also, the water dispenser does not seem to be mechanically activated (i.e. pushing the dispenser button opens the valve directly) but rather it seems to have an electrically-controlled valve (i.e. a valve actuated by a solenoid or such). The problem with this is that the water valve opens abruptly, just a fraction of a second after the water pump has started building up pressure. Water does not just drop into the glass but rather it shoots into the glass with too much pressure, causing a spill almost every time. Pouring water into an empty glass at just the right angle (such that the water slides down the side and then bounces off the bottom of the glass) virtually guarantees that the first ounce or so of the water stream will shoot back up onto the refrigerator door and the floor (see attached video for a more bening.Aside from the above, the surfaces that one must press to activate the dispensers are neither rubberized nor metal, rather they are painted hard plastic. They will end up scratched rather quickly if pressed normally with a glass or cup.The water filter is very small, probably half the volume of the filter in my previous LG refrigerator. I don't know this for a fact, but I'm willing to bet that it consequently has less filtration capacity and therefore must be replaced more often, at a likely higher cost over the long term.My unit came with some small cosmetic manufacturing defects (the sheet metal isn't bent quite right in two spots around the edge of the top shelf) and with misaligned doors, so the QA process is not that tight either. Yes, there's an alignment procedure described in the manual but why not take care of that properly at the factory?Anyway, we can probably live with the issues described above but this new refrigerator is a clear functional downgrade from our previous LG. It provides less or worse functionality and looks pretty much the same but it's nearly twice the money. Hopefully it's as reliable as the previous one (which, now at 10 years of age, is still working fine).

Fridge is great except the water does not come out quickly. Ice is slow to remake as well. For such a quality brand to have issues with water coming out of the dispenser is ridiculous. I have read a dozen reviews after I purchased the refrigerator (shame on me for not catching it sooner), that this is common. If you want a water dispenser, this is not the fridge for you

We have had our fridge for about 6 months now. Love it. Tons of ice and love the water dispenser. Wish it had a bit more freezer space, but that's my fault for not checking closer

I've had this fridge for 2 years, no problems. Also delivery was great. The guys helped put it in the house which was not expected.

We enjoyed our LG fridge for about six months. Then, the never-ending battle began.First, we heard a knocking sound. After answering the door to no one for the tenth time, we realized it was the fridge. I Googled. I read the manual. I scratched my head. “Unplug it,” everything more-or-less told me. Great; restart it. Hold down CTRL+ALT+DELETE at the same time. Got it.I left it unplugged for the recommended four hours. Then I powered it back up and the knocking immediately commenced. A few days later, we got the IF error code.Error code? A refrigerator has an error code? Seriously. This was too complicated already. Once again, I turned to Google, the manual, and my scalp. “ I called the store. After all, they had strongarmed us into a warranty I didn’t want, and I’m so glad they did.So the repairman came out. He told me that these fridges were notorious for breaking down. Then he proceeded to show me how to repair it myself because, “This isn’t the first time and it won’t be the last.”We took the entire freezer apart to get to the ice blower fan, essentially. It gets frozen solid. Every three months like clockwork.Was it manageable? Yeah. First world problems and all that. But then other stuff started going down:-The large mechanism that slides into some other cheap, plastic part did something stupid, so the door wouldn’t always close. So guests would shut our fridge but not shut our fridge, which resulted in …-A ripped rubber door seal.-No matter what temp the fridge was set at, food sitting directly on the glass shelves or in two of the three produce drawers would freeze. And we’re not talking about some delightful icy crunch. Entire pieces of fruit, meat, even cheese would freeze solid. Did you know cheese could turn into ice? It can. We cannot store food in half of our fridge. (However, I lined all of the shelves in newspaper, which seems to have helped. Plus, I can now read about the local elections from a year ago every morning while I get the orange juice.)-The freezer fan clogs with ice so often, I have to mention it …-… twice.-The water dispensing button is starting to stick.-The ice dispenser clogs on a daily basis. We keep a knife honer nearby to stab into the bin. I repeat, this happens daily.-It gets fingerprinted to he77. I know this is a hazard of being an appliance in a home where the occupants have hands. But I hate this thing and now I’m just searching for more to add to the list.-The water valve that connects the water line to the fridge wore out. So now we don’t even get water or ice until I replace it.-And now the ice maker is broken. That's a $120 part.We have a second fridge in our house. We got it for free from an apartment complex that was throwing them away. We keep it in the garage as a beer fridge. Dudes, this fridge (I don’t even know the brand) is probably 20 years old (at least), is ugly as sin, and is chugging away like we do on beer.Meanwhile, my $2,500 LG heartache mocks me with a frozen water melon, incessant ticking, and dripping water.

After nine years the linear compressor broke down. The french door flap stopped working about one year after I bought and they could not fix it for some reason. Then it had issues with the freezer, but they fixed that as it was luckily still under manufacturer warranty. The ten year warranty on the compressor covered only parts and the compressor can cost around $350; the labor for replacing a compressor can be $700+ and then add on the dispatch fee ($150+). LG has decent customer service - you can usually get a person on the phone after about ten minutes and they honor their warranty. For the price I paid, I was hoping the unit would have held out another 2-3 years.
