I have the same model and like the WiFi feature. You control your refrigerator/freezer from your smart phone, increase your lower ice makers production too. It also notifies you when it is time to change both the air and water filters.
I’m having this refrigerator delivered next week. We have bad water where we live so we won’t have the ice maker hooked up. We’ll add bought ice to the ice maker bin and fill our glasses that way. Another reason to not hook up the water is because most issues start with the waterline leaking or the ice maker over icing and leaking. Hope I have no problems. Bought the extended warranty just in case.
great review... I just received mine today. I am taking plastic off and have a question,. Can the shelves be adjusted separately on the left and right side or do you need to move both sides together?
My cabinet is just like yours. I have been concerned about how this refrigerator will fit in it. Can you tell me the width of your space from wood molding to wood molding and floor to the wood molding above the frig? I think I am sold on this model and thank you for the review.
After over a year, it's been excellent. Changed the filter for the water once, it was $45 from lg website. Other than that, no maintenance, no worries. Just an excellent refrigerator that's 100x better than a Bosch that cost 3x more expensive. Honestly, I don't have anything bad to say except for something super weird.. when the power goes out due to an outage and turns back on, the water supply leaks a little.

How to move the shelves? I see a clip connecting the two half's but see no way to separate the shelves. Once separated I can figure out how to relocate each but need to see how to separate each half shelf .
It's been excellent. No issues. Changed water filter a few months ago, otherwise just a perfect fridge that works good and requires no maintenance or unnecessary attention.
I had a Bosch refrigerator before this one, that one was probably 3 times more expensive and broke within in a few months. Bosch showed the worst customer service and wouldnt take the fridge back. Instead they would schedule a repair company to come to fix the fridge. For over a year they would schedule the repair, 2 weeks later they come to diagnose and leave to order the part. 4 weeks later it comes. 2 weeks later they come. after rebuilding the fridge in my kitchen, 1 part at a time, it was finally deemed unrepairable and they paid me back for the fridge. After that experience i figured i can buy a new LG every month and it will last me longer than a Bosch and save me money. lol but no, the LG is awesome. its coming up on two years old and no problems. I wanted to sue Bosch but then saw how much lawsuits they have open and their tactic of prolonging court till the customer just drops it, and decided that wasn't the right way to go. Luckily I was still in my warranty and beat them down till they took the fridge back.
@TheStrivering all of the current freestanding bottom freezer fridges are plagued with problems. LGs have compressor issues, Fridgidaire and Samsung have evaporator issues, GE has electronics issuses, Bosh has all the problems you described, whirlpool (kithen aid) electronics and evaporators. I am considering Sub Zero only because they make their parts in the U.S. in Wisconsin and Arizona and are opening a new factory in Iowa. Would rather pay out the butt for something that will last 20 years and have parts readily available. Bosch is ruing their good name with their refigerators
@@alexanderjamieson7971 Sub-Zero was my first option but the price settled me down a bit. I should of went with them. I haven't heard anything bad about them and all the technicians that came to my house said they have Sub-Zero and wolf appliances. Best of luck on your purchase.
I just got this fridge. I wanted to ask what is the middle part in between the crispers it came with some Styrofoam and tape and have no clue what it is, if you loft the Shelf on top of teh crispers you will see it.
Great review! I am interesting in this fridge, can I ask how easy to connect the water line to water/ice dispenser? Just "unscrew" the pipe from the old fridge and connect it to the new fridge? I know Costco will not do this part when they deliver. Any insight will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
I had my water line unplugged from the old fridge when Costco came. They delivered the new fridge, brought it in, unpacked it, and connected the water line before putting it into place. When I bought my dishwasher from Costco, they delivered it but since the dishwasher didn't come with an outlet cord, they offered to have an electrician come the next day to install it. most likely they will connect it for you, but if they don't, it is a simple twist on and off pipe line.
@@TheStrivering when you say for the drawer to come out, do you mean to be completely removed it needs to be opened close to 180? We have an angled counter to the left that won't allow it to open more than probably 100-110 degrees and I don't want to regret it if the door can't be slid out a reasonable distance to get stuff in and out of the drawer easily.
Does the outside spout dispense cubed & crushed ice too or do you have to open the ice box (inside the left door) to get ice? Do you mind creating a short video of getting cubed & crushed ice and share it? If you don’t want to upload such a small thing on TH-cam, I can share my email address with you. It’d be very helpful!
Than you for your review. I have a quick question please. Does your glide n serve deli bin has a glass top over which crisper bins sit? My old LG had something like that. I received my new LG yesterday and i have a feeling that are missing .Please let me know.
Kept forgetting to check when I opened the fridge, but finally I checked.. it does Not have the glass divider between the 2 top shelves and large bottom one. They cheaped out
Hello, it's working out great. I love it and no problems. About 4 months ago I made a updated review. You can check it out here. th-cam.com/video/gWLlS9daP2k/w-d-xo.html
With ice, there's no problem. Just the usual. Ice first then liquid. With water, it has high pressure. Which is good but take time to get used to. For example tilt the short cup when pouring water so it curls in instead of shooting up. Also if there is like half a cup of water and your adding water, the stream will splash against the water and come out. But under normal circumstances, it doesn't spray weird or anything.
Fridge is good. You get excellent customer service with Costco and it something goes wrong or broken you just call them and they come pick it up or repair it but they don't hassle you like standard tv and appliance did.

@@TechVHD I believe I got it in 2020. Costco delivered and brought it into my home. I didn't have them unpack it cause my kid wanted to play with the box.

It comes in wheels so that was super easy. The electronics and appliances have the same 90 day return policy I believe. Everything else doesn't have a time line.
I can't tell you in decibels as I don't have a reader for that but it's dead silent most of the time. Some times you hear a little noise by it if the freezer was open for a while. Like loading groceries. But you only hear it if your by it. And occasionally when you take ice you'll hear it drop the ice in the container from the ice trays. I just walked up to it though and it's dead silent.

I like it very much. Very good design. Nothing breaking. Working nice every day. Water and ice on the outside, so you don't have to crawl into the fridge to get water. Couldn't be happier and at a fraction of Bosch price.
@@baahbyjoe4850 honestly, I feel like today’s appliances are not made to last anymore… at least not like the older ones. I have an old Samsung side by side that we purchased from lowes back in 2005. It started to have issues with the fridge not cooling in 2016. We got it fixed and we just now are having the same issue again. Trying to find someone to fix it. I hope I can get it fixed cause I love my fridge. Configurations are perfect, ice maker is awesome! I cannot complain. If not, I really don’t know what to get cause they all seem to be cheaply made.🙁
I heard an insider secret that GE fridges are the best. We always think of GE as a low-end brand, but that was before companies started making products that were worse. Things do break down, but they’re easy/cheap to fix and the compressor is solid. Only problem is that GE just sold to Hisense, a Chinese company. Although many GE fridges are still made in the US, I’m predicting it’s just a matter of time until that changes.
That's what I've heard. But it's just for fridges.. that's the problem. Most people like to uniform their home with same brand appliances. At least in the kitchen. i wouldn't use GE for everything.
