- So I got a new Fridge, and it's "Smart". I got the LG 36-inch french door refrigerator, with a door-in-door feature as well as InstaView, and dual ice makers.
If you’re like me and you upgrade your refrigerator every never years, you probably aren’t aware of some of the features out there these days. And neither was I. Let me walk you through some of the key features of this LG.

I love my fridge!!!! Love that I can link it to my cellphone, so I know if there's a problem if I'm not home.
I got this fridge a while back for my new home and I finally got my new home done and I put this fridge is and I’ve just had it for 2 days and I freaking love it and thank you for this video it was very helpful
I would like to ask if the water line is at room temperature or I can turn it into cooling water and how to fix it?
Ty for this review. Because I've heard some horror stories. You're the first too give an great review. I want one these sooooo baddd. But they never get any great reviews. Again ty 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👋🏾👋🏾🙏🏾
Shoulda got the one with the craft ice. I LOVE my LG
Hi just wanna ask why the display temperature wont show all day on my fridge and i git the same fridge. Thanks
How does the door water feature work. It says it fills large containers now.
Do i need to have a water hose installed for the ice, i read somewhere its really a mess
Can you actually feel cold air blowing down out of the door cooling plus vents when you open the door?
Thanks for this review is this an LRFOC2606S?
I'm in Huntsville, AL and I just bought a townhome that I'll be closing on in a couple of weeks. My realtor works for Crye-Leike Realty and they sent me an email to get appliances at a lower price if purchased through their program; they have a relationship with Lowe's. I already had an LG Fridge, washer and dryer on order from Lowe's but I sent my list to them to see if they could beat the sales price. Going through them would save me an additional $1500 so I cancelled my original order through Lowe's and asked them to give me another quote with the fridge in this video! No doubt it'll be much cheaper and I will definitely order it! Thanks for the great video! Also, I had an LG fridge with Instaview and door in door in my previous home and I loved it! Can't wait to hear my sister calling me bougie for ordering this!!
Update: This is not the fridge I ordered. Go check out the LG STUDIO 24 cu. ft. Smart InstaView® Door-in-Door® Large Capacity Counter-Depth Refrigerator with Craft Ice™ Maker
ah yes the craft ice maker is the one thing i didn’t get. I wanted to but wasn’t sure it was worth the extra $$$.
I just bought that refrigerator today and I’m having trouble with it , the light don’t turn off and it does not cools down, any tips? Thanks 😊
I think the difference in price you are seeing is the higher priced model offers something called Craft Ice, which is essentially ice balls. That is the one I'm going to buy but I can see how people wouldn't need that feature at all.
I love mine, but be prepared, it only makes 3 large or 6 smaller balls every 24 hours.😊
Unfortunately, there's no such thing as a perfect product. However, my experiences with LG products has been absolutely awesome. I have LG TVs, and previously owned LG washer and dryer. No issues whatsoever.
I agree there. I have never had any issues with LG. I know that’s not the case for everyone but I’ve had good luck.
Hey have the same fridge nock twice to turn on awesome but did you know that if you knock 2 times when it's on it will shut off the light too! 😉 have a awesome day 😎
That’s fab mate
Hi Paul, the water in our LG French door fridge is no longer cold. Do you know how I can adjust the temp of the water and have cold water again? Thanks so much.
No idea. I'd try giving LG a call, I'm sure they can help you trouble shoot.
THANKS ( LUV ) ALL Ur GREAT Info & Data !!!!! I just GOT My LG ( LFXS28 ) at COSTCO , for UNDER 2K !!!!!!!! :O)) f Had a BRAND NEW .... Samsung FRIG ( 22 Cu Ft) that DIDN"T Last a WEEK Before ,the Freezer ( With ALL My FOOD ) was a ONE HUGE ICE CUBE :O(( The TOP Frig. Would RANGE from 40-60 ( PLUS !!! ) DEGREES !!!! NEVER >>>> EVER AGAIN !!!!!
Please provide an update regarding your current insights. Have you had any problems? Would you recommend at this time?
Our fridge is still going strong, and I would definitely still recommend it. Now that we're starting to have more people over again, the knocking on the glass is definitely a crowd-pleaser too. TBH though, the light up glass is a novelty.
What's yours refrigerator temperature setting? Having trouble setting mine to right cooling temp
Did you figure it out I’m getting this on Tuesday
Thats got to be my DREAM Fridge 😍 I WANT IT
Mines as well 🤔☺️
I've just bought the current model of this fridge, which has the water and ice dispenser like yours, but where you have the ice bucket below, the newer fridge has another ice maker which makes spheres of ice, maybe 2 or 2.5 inches in diameter, it only makes 3 of them every 22 hours and can store 30 at any one time.
It's crazy what fridges can do these days.
Hi,
How is your fridge holding up?
Hi, yeah the fridge is going well as far as operating wise.
The downside is the minimal options of shelf height spacing without compromising other shelf heights.
None of the shelves can hold a 600ml water bottle standing up unless you move a shelf up or down which severely reduces the other shelf height to the point where you can only fit your hand in with not much room, so very narrow height.
There is one 1/2 shelf you can slide back to stand talker things but then you also lose half the width of the shelf above.
If they made the fridge 80mm taller and reduced freezer height by 100mm, they could give each shelf a bit over 60mm height each and that would make it much better versatility wise and you wouldn't notice the loss of freezer space.
The freezer section is huge!
I have to lay my Pepsi Max 600ml and water 600ml bottles on their side and stack them in layers, so it would be no good even for a bar fridge in the shed.
@@milkshakemuncherBut you can set the first freezer part to be another fridge right?
Being able to see in the fridge is a great idea but on the other hand bad as just another thing to go wrong
Had all LG appliances for about 10 years and never had a problem with any of them. Have been debating on getting this fridge since it’s down to about $2300 at Home Depot. Wasn’t sure if the instaview has been worth having or is it worth skipping? Thanks for the review!
Maybe it is great in the past. But not for now.. Korean brand are pretty bad for home appliances. They don't last long and always have issue.

In my experience universally the opinion is if you have a fridge which works do not buy a new one for a gimmick;. Current refrigerators are not made to the level of quality which they were 10 years ago.
I picked up this same fridge at Best Buy was a floor model brand new no issues n excellent condition and couldn’t beat the price. Prior to this I had a ge side by side no issues but the price was $870 outdoor w 3 year extended warranty, ss wTer line delivery n tax $1133. Plus this fridge is awesome that outside door is awesome. Haven’t tried craft ice yet.
How has the fridge held up after a year? Any issues?
So far so good!
does the fridge come with an initial air & water filter?
Yes it does!
@@TechnologyPaul So glad to hear this! We just bought a similar model at Lowe's (has the cool see-thru door, but not door-in-door) and when you're checking out it tells you that you need to buy a filter. We didn't add one to our order, as we couldn't imagine a fridge not coming with the filters you need to use it properly.
Should have had the fridge last Friday, but they screwed up the delivery and it won't be here for another three days.
Its uncanny how similar your purchase of the LG and having a Samsung. I bought a Samsung when I purchased my new house and got the top of the line and I had the same issues, icing up and my wife and I just had enough of it even after the extended Home Depot warranty, we spent another $500 on a repair service, which by the way was hard to find anyone who wanted to touch a Samsung, referencing sealed system etc. We use a GE side by side in our garage for overflow etc, and we found ourselves loading up laundry baskets to move the food from the Samsung to it because the Samsung just gives out every few weeks. Everyone told us to stick to GE or Frigidaire, but they just don't offer the cool technology on their units, and perhaps for good reason. Jenn Air and Sub Zero were boring and just frankly out of our budget. I purchase the LG the other day, black one to match our kitchen decor and looking forward to getting it installed soon. We did go up a model or so with the waste pull out flex draw and craft ice but I really appreciate this video explaining all the other similar functionality. Thanks.
That sounds like a very similar experience. Our Samsung wasn't brand new, but my wife was definitely had enough of it too!
Thank You👍🏼
Nice features but still lacking cameras for remote viewing
Ha ha, yes. I've been in the supermarket and wondered "What's in the fridge, what's the family devoured when I've out all day?"
Discontinued, any idea which model replaced it?
Just took delivery of the same model, still available at Costco @ $1799 and it came with a free 6 cu ft LG fridge as well. Heck of a deal on this fridge. Thanks for the video!
Wow nice
Oof on that price. It's 1500 bucks at Costco right now and it comes with a free 400 dollar mini fridge lol. How has it been this past year?
Just ordered mine
Just to let you know there was nothing wrong with your old fridge. Maintenance once a year looks like turning the fridge/freezer off for two hours to let it completely defrost and then the ice and water build up will stop.
Any ice maker issues so far?
Is this a common problem? My indoor ice maker is not working.
@@k.s.3421 seems to be a common thing to break down first with the new refrigerators. Very common with Samsung for sure
@@SATXrattlesnake hmmm. Thanks for your input!
Can the Door in Door hold a gallon of milk ? That's our most frequent go-to.
It definitely can!
Milk is unhealthy, cancer and pus filled, usually has the blood strained out of it as well. Maybe you should go vegan and be healthy.
I've also been looking at a similar model of LG fridge... basically the same one you have, only the side-by-side model with the door in door in the upper right. However, in researching refrigerators, I came across a class action lawsuit against LG for the linear compressor, and several other product reviews that mention the fridge failing shortly after people received it, again, because of cooling issues. Were you aware of the lawsuit? I'm wondering how much, if anything, they changed about the compressor since the lawsuit. I see that you answered someone else's comment 4 months ago and said you are still liking your fridge, so that's awesome!
Hello I just bought one and I am really concerned as I know someone who has one and got troubles after 3 years and the law suite...I did contact LG to have more info and they told me that they did not change. After one year they just cover the compressor but not the installation. It can be really expensive so I think I ll cancel my order. I just look everywhere what people say and it is just all the same about the compressor. I just loved the fact that the children can have easy access. Love the look but...
With enough stuff in the fridge that you need to spend time inspecting the contents in advance to ensure a surgical extraction without the cooled air escaping, realize there isn't much cold air to escape in a full fridge in the first place. And if the fridge is bare, how much advance scouting do you need? Sounds like too many people in marketing.
Samsung fridges are pet trash at least from what our Samsung service guy said. We’re probably going with this fridge for our upcoming house.
Me too. I regretted my Samsung POS French Door. I've had to learn icemaker repair -- as a backup career. I've never google so much repair TH-cams as I did with Samsung fridge. I hope to dump that soon.
@@timchang2493 I’ve had to learn icemaker repair and open “heart” surgery to defrost the compressor. Ver frustrating because my Samsung fridge was well over $2,000.
Fridges are cool.
Nice fridge and I wanted to buy it and the main reason was because of the cool looking glass door. The only problem is the light does not stay on and there is no option to keep it on! I think the LG product management team really made a mistake on this. There are very high end commercial looking refrigerators that have glass doors with lights what stay on and they look really cool. Also LG shows this door light feature in all of their marketing images, and it gives you the impression that the light would stay on. How could they miss this? Knocking on the door to get 30 seconds of light to see what beverages, you already know you have, is much less interesting than keeping the light on to give it a commercial refrigerator look especially for parties.
Don't forget the bottles of Veuve Clicquot champagne to display in the door window!
I never thought about that. It would be cool if the light could stay on.
Yeah...But can it lock me out after too many beers😃
Now this fridge is 1999$ on deal. Is it worth bro?
yea it's worth
got one similar to the model in this video it's so worth
Goodbye watery sales pitches!
who pays 10k for a fridge anyway? thats insane like dude its just a fridge not a car...
haha I didn’t pay $10k I think it’s like $2200 at this point.
I don’t want a fridge that looks too big to be in my kitchen
High tech garbage my sister has went through 3 fridges in 10 yrs, LG, Samsung and a Maytag. She spent over $7000 in 10 yrs. She gave me her old fridge and stove that is now 24 yrs old still going strong I wouldn't waste my money.
Sometimes the old stuff works better, for sure.
@@TechnologyPaulSometimes? All the time. Electronics and appliances used to be made to last, now they're made for you to continue spending.
@@RondellKBnot really.
@@Memeinvestigatorwell let's look at reliability, the more things to go wrong, the more they will. "Fail points"
Unless you like service calls STAY AWAY from ice in the door its the number one issue for techs. Making refrigerators a tech gadget has been one of the biggest reasons why you are lucky to get 5+ years out of a $3000+ unit. Sadly you have to pay $10000+ for a built in refrigerator if you want a fridge which will last 15+ years.
Nothing against technology but this fridge has a lot of potential fail points
Everything Samsung is junk except phones of course
Agreed. I am having the exact same problem with my Samsung fridge that he did. I had a Samsung tv crap out on me and same with two blu-ray players. Note 1 and 3 worked well though.
Indeed they do my dad has one its a good Samsung phone to him
do not buy anything from LG
4 months and still they haven't fixed our fridge
Oh no, sorry to hear that.
@@TechnologyPaul thanks
Not interested in your old fridge.
You spent wayyyy toooo much time crying over your dead fridge! Get to the topic man!
