We’ve pointed them out wherever relevant throughout this guide. Even with all those upgrades, a top-of-the-line top-freezer model will almost always still cost less than any other style of refrigerator of comparable size. On the downside, LG’s customer service is bad (though its fridge reliability is above average, so you have a lower chance of needing to interact with customer service). A handful of specific models (all side-by-sides) have major reliability problems. Among refrigerators from the five major brands, LG fridges seem to make their owners the happiest. In a Wirecutter reader survey, far more real-life LG owners said they were satisfied with their fridges than owners of other brands did, and fewer said they hated their fridges.
The customer service people at these companies are abrasive and abusive toward female customers in particular. I will be contacting Lowes and Consumer Affairs of NJ and of the USA. I want Frigidaire to Arctic King give a proper working product which I paid for and reimbursement for $1000 worth food. At Sam’s Club, you’ll find all the kitchen appliances you’re looking for, including refrigerators and freezers.
However, some upscale French-door variants (like the Whirlpool WRX735SDHZ) have a fourth door, in the form of a second drawer, usually a small tray between the fridge and freezer. Owners tend to find this style easier to organize, judging from what we’ve seen in our reader-survey results and customer-review analysis. It’s often used as a “kid’s drawer” for parent-approved snacks at a tyke-friendly height, but you can use it for anything you’d usually stick in a fridge—produce, deli items, canned or bottled or boxed drinks, whatever. One owner commented in our reader survey that it’s easier for some people to open lighter, separate drawers than one large bucket drawer.
This large French door refrigerator is practical, elegant, and efficient. Liam McCabe is a former senior staff writer for Wirecutter, and has covered the wild world of appliances since 2011.

So with an LG refrigerator, you might be less likely to deal with nuisances like broken shelves, handles, doors, lights, ice makers, or water dispensers. Owners also cited temperature inconsistencies less often and were notably less likely to say that organizing the fridge and keeping track of items was difficult. Consumer Reports puts LG near the front of the pack for reliability, too. But even then, LG’s fridges make their owners happier than the other major brands’ fridges do.
That’s a reasonable way to try to do it, but there isn’t much of that historical data to begin with, especially outside of the five major brands. Looking to past performance also can’t account for changes in the way refrigerators are currently manufactured. We’ve learned from talking to manufacturers and touring appliance factories that components, processes, and employees can change as often as every few weeks, yet the product’s model name remains the same.
This option on some models allows you to use certain space in the unit as either an extension of the fridge or additional freezer space. Temperature settings can be toggled to your needs between -6°F and 45°F. However, it’s advised that fresh fruits and vegetables not be stored here. Instead, use it for items that may be in the appliance for longer periods of time.
It’s not uncommon – in fact, it’s one of the most common complaints we hear from our customers. There are several reasons why your fridge might be making strange noises, and in this blog post, we’re going to cover five of them. If your Frigidaire refrigerator runs loud, we’ll describe each problem and its accompanying sound, what causes it or how it fails, and how to diagnose or fix the issue yourself. We purchased the refrigerator and freezer for a remodel and we absolutely love them.
