LG 454L Bottom Mount GB-455WL (White)

Fridge door has dropped and LG customer care advises to level floor. Not possible as floor is a concrete slab that the house is built on. Issue is that the freezer door is then Impacted as both or either door are difficult to close or open.

Door manufacturing fault – The fridge is very quiet and keeps a consistent temperature. Has a peculiar cooling system where the inside perimeter of the door heats up. I bought a fridge and then the front fridge door gradually dropped until it hit the freezer door. Got a new fridge under warranty. I have had the new fridge for 8 months and now the same issue has occurred. Clearly this is a manufacturing fault. Purchased through Harvey Norman $1,414.00 Show details

Disappointing product. Very noisy – I purchased in mid Oct 2023. The fridge was pretty quiet in the first 6 months. It started to have some noises every 20-30 minutes approx. even if I turned down to use “vacation” mode with higher temperatures for both the freezer and fridge. I measured the noise level in the front is around 42dB but the back of the fridge near the compressor is… Read more

60dB. I live in a very small apartment. It’s quite distracting when I work from home. I can hear this noise in my bedroom at night.

Almost perfect – Purchased online from Bing Lee Electrics. Good fridge and freezer. Fits perfectly in our older house fridge space. It's nice and wide and I love not having to stoop down to see what's what in the bottom of fridge section. The door cooling is super cold, great for chilling drinks quickly. The freezer drawers are easy to slided in and out, and just… Read more

deep enough not to lose track of what's in them, but not enough space for us, 2 adults. Hence, we have an underbench freezer also. It's extremely quiet, almost silent. Only con is that I wasn't prepared for the parts protruding from the top rear which can be seen from the side - see photo

Ok, but nothing like my old Fisher & Paykel – After my old Fisher & Paykel died after 15 years of faithful service, I turned to buying a new fridge. I had a specific space the new fridge had to fit into. Unfortunately, F&P had a three-month wait for fridges in that size. So I ended up with an LG, supposedly recommended. I'm stuck with it. My old F&P was superior in every way. To take one… Read more

ergonomic example. The freezer drawers on the F&P were mounted on rails, like a dishwasher, so you could slide them out all the way. When fully extended, the drawers on the LG are still 100m concealed in the fridge. I have to strain my back getting to them.

To take another example, the LG has inconvenient settings for the possible shelf heights in the fridge proper. To set the top shelf so it can accommodate, say, a standard 2 litre fruit juice bottle, you have to squish all the other shelves. This leaves one shelf with a near-unusable height of 30 mm. I have to use a long ruler to retrieve items from this shelf, since my hands won't fit.

Another example. Like most fridges, LG has an open-door alarm. Leave the fridge door open, and it beeps at you. Unfortunately, the LG alarm does not work. You can leave the fridge door open by a good 50mm, and.. no beeps.

LG prides itself on using a linear compressor. Pretty much everyone else uses a scroll compressor. LG's compressor is indeed much quieter and more energy efficient than the typical scroll compressor. Now search for "LG class action". In the USA, LG is being sued because its fridge linear compressors fail so often and so soon.

This so well known that LG now has a prominent badge on its fridges: "Linear compressor guaranteed for ten years (parts only)." Reassuring? No. Note the "parts only". Sure, you will get a shiny new compressor for free. But the LG technician who installs it will charge you like a senior barrister called out on Christmas Day.

I hope my LG will die during my extended warranty period from Appliances Online. Then I'll buy an F&P.

Pretty Disappointed – after upgrading my old faithful fridge which I purchased in 1994 I was looking forward to a more energy efficient modern fridge with more space. I am extremely displeased with the 'Moisture Balance Crisper' which does not work very effectively as I expected. I find the vegetables last only a few days at most before going soft which unlike old… Read more

faithful which would keep something like broccoli for at least a week. Im uncertain if newer fridges are not as efficient in this section but I expect better. I am now trialling the use of storing veggies in plastic ware to see if that makes them last longer but this does take up valuable real estate in the main part of the fridge.

Stylish and elegant looking – Well, it was on promotion and bought this fridge..so far there is no problem...it keeps the vegetables fresh...in my previous fridge soft vegetables like tomato lasted 5 or 6 days with this one it still keeps the tomatoes fresh for 2 weeks according to what the salesman told us. Definitely recommend it...freezer could be a bit bigger .. Show details
