LG GF-B620 (620L, French Door)

spacious, versatile layout and looks good – We had this fridge for about 4 years now and loved it right from the start. The shelving can be moved in the fridge, making it very versatile. Plenty of space in the doors too. The front is a bit sensitive to dents (moving house doesn't help) and the veggie drawers are a bit fragile. Little quirk is every now and then it makes a loud compressor… Read more ·  1

noise for a short time, to become silent for many weeks after again. Other than that, would recommend this fridge to anyone.

Don't judge this fridge by its looks – We've had this fridge about 3 years. It does what it's supposed to do, keep everything cold or frozen. We bought it because my missus wanted a drawer freezer and liked the french door design. The lack of internal space is the main problem. The thing is huge on the outside, but it's a real challenge trying to fit anything large inside it. The… Read more

shelves are not deep enough in width. Even though the doors have space, regular glass water bottles are too tall to fit. To fit these in the main space we had to remove half of one of the shelves which leaves even less space inside. We wouldn't buy this design again. The old single door Whirlpool 620l which we'd upgraded from had the most internal space of any fridge we've owned. The missus learnt her lesson about choosing external design over internal usefulness. Also it's a pain to keep clean on the outside. It's always covered in fingerprints. Stainless steel. Don't do it.

Stainless steel door finish showing dent like faults – This fridge is only 2years old. Quiet and cold like a fridge should be but over the last 6 months dent like faults keep appearing in the fingerprint free faux stainless steel doors. Started with two.. now 6 dent like faults at random locations (top of doors to bottom) - every month now more ‘dents’ appear it seems. There is a fault with the… Read more

door skins that makes a good looking fridge very ugly.

Suggest beware buying the ‘fingerprint free’ faux stainless steel fridges because the product is faulty.

We have ’logged’ this with LG Customer service and provided photos. More soon.

Disspointing so far after 18 months – The fridge failed within 6 months of getting it. ER FF. The fridge fan failed. LG have replaced it. We did not realise and ate food at room temperature for three days. We lost a lot of food and had no receipts. I purchased a basic thermometer to watch the temperature. 12 months later it happened again. Set at 3 degrees the fridge was… Read more

reading 9 degrees. ER FF. Called LG and they said the repairman may take a few days. They phoned us the same day and said they had ordered the part. We unplugged the fridge for 30 minutes and put the plug back in and that kept it going for the 4 days. 4 days later they replaced the fan and a board.

The freezer does the cooling at the bottom and the fan picks up the cool air and pushes it through the back of the fridge to come out at fridge level. If the fan fails the fridge stops working and the food goes warm. I hoping this does not fail again.

We have a cordless thermometer with 2 sensors in the fridge. The top of the fridge is about one degree warmer than the bottom so that's impressive. Set at 2 degrees the temperature varies between 3 and 8 degrees. This is measured over 3 days. I do not like the fact it get's up to 8 degrees but that could be with the door being opened regularly and then fair enough. Overnight I think I saw 3 to 7 degrees. Hmmm...

There can be a bit of noise but I get nervous now when there is no noise.

Easy to clean.

It's a bit small if you're going to be on a fruit and vegie rich diet. Perfect if you like your junk food though.

In my mind it looses a star for the unreliability thus far, but it might be perfect now.

It looses another star because it not only does not get to the temperature I want (measured with more than one thermometer) but the variance of the temperature is a bit too wide,

I would not buy another one. The wife really wanted the french doors and she would not buy another one either.

I hate to say it but consider extended warranty (if they pay out but that's another review).

Great fridge! – We decided to stick with LG after decided to upsize from our old fridge (bought in 1998 and still going strong in our garage). The GF-B620 is stainless steel (and like all stainless steel, a fingerprint magnet) with grey plastic finish on the handles, and hammered grey finish on the sides. It has a digital thermostat for both fridge and… Read more

freezer hidden behind the fridge doors. It has a door alarm which can be enabled/disabled per user setting.

Inside the fridge shelves in the main body of the fridge half width and are modular, and can be set per user choice on the rack, either staggered or level on both sides. There is ample space in fruit and vegetable compartments, and door shelves are well positioned and space. There's no egg shelf though, which is an unusual omission.

The freezer consists of chest (as part of the freezer door), with independant sliding wire drawer above. The ice-maker works well with a few caveats. The wire drawer has a tendency to get caught on the ice tub if overstacked (easy to do). It's not uncommon for rogue ice cubes to fall out from the back of the ice tub into the freezer recess - or even worse, rebound out onto the floor and pose a slipping hazard. While our ice maker has been great, I get the feeling LG has had a lot of trouble with them, seeing they've been deleted from the revised model.

LG French Door Fridge 620 Ltr Stainless Steel – Purchased in May this year, very happy with the top section of the fridge layout, we looked at a lot of French Door fridges and decided on this one as the LG had the best payout and we liked the individual Veg & Fruit crispers and the Deli drawer that runs along the bottom. Love the split adjustable glass shelves, great idea as we can adjust to… Read more

suite the height of bottles etc., The internal size is great and would recommend if you have to room.

The freezer is ample and although the drawer is a little like a chest freezer concept we have had no dramas and have gone over to flat packing our meat in press seal packs and just bought a couple of plastic trays to keep things separated. You get used to having to close the double top doors manually. The fridge doors on the LG close onto a centrepanel and folds into place to create a good seal, unlike some other models we looked at that rely on the rubber door seals to be able to touch one another to form the fridge seal. Operation of the fridge has been very quiet and it chills very well. We have not plumbed in the ice maker into the freezer section yet so can't give an opinion on that feature just yet. Overall very happy with out purchase to date.

Love it – Love this fridge. Plenty of space especially in the doors which I love for all my condiments. The only thing I’d change about the fridge compartment would be the bottom sliding draw to be in 2 so can still be opened when only one door is opened. Super quiet. Freezer is nice and deep with an adjustable divider and a top drawer for the smaller or often used items  Show details

Good to fridge with room – It's does it's job, and the size is OK, spacious in side. There's not much noise either. However the freezer part still have room to improve. The design is not utilizing all the available space. Also the draw sometimes fall off if I am placing weighted items. Overall I would recommend this fridge though  Show details

Perfect fridge at this price point – We have had this fridge for about 4 months now and cannot fault it. It is the perfect size for a family with well thought out compartments and a generous amount of space within for the size of the fridge. Fits nicely in a standard 600mm cupboard with only the doors protruding, Got a great deal on this from the good guys and was the same price as inferior brands.  Show details

Do not buy. Fridge is terrible. Service is worse – Broke down 3 times in 8 months. Had to take 5 days off work so far because the repair man shows up without parts even though it’s the same error over and over. The freezer frosts up and burns out the fan that sends cold air to the fridge. Put in a complaint. Said they’d get back to me in 24 hours. Took 4 days to reply. 12 days without a fridge. What an absolute joke.  Show details

My condolences – My condolences if your fridge was dead on arrival like mine and you have to deal with LG customer service and their service agents. I rang LG customer service to report the problem and I had to hang up on the first person I spoke to because their grasp of English was poor and I was tired of spelling every word to them. The second person was… Read more

more helpful in the sense that their robotic job was to log the problem and give me a reference number as well as the phone number for assigned service agent in my area.

Newcastle Custom Electronics (Google them and wonder at all the 1 star reviews!) called me the next day and I described the symptoms to them, they informed me they would order some parts and that was the last time they called me.

Fast forward 2 weeks and after calling them every 2-3 days they informed me the parts were in and they would arrange to have them installed. Another week later and still no technician. LG customer service have been no help and have refused to replace the fridge despite me being without refrigeration in the house for nearly 3 weeks now.

Not working after only 11 months – Our first thoughts were what a great looking fridge but after only 11 months the fridge section stopped working.. 2 weeks have passed still not fixed... waiting on a part.. not good enough.. customer service is very poor were they don't seem to know what happening in Australia.... We got the complete run around. February 6th 2018 Update:… Read more

Terrible.. Worst fridge ever

Has broken down yet again... fan replacement after only 11 months (Dec 10).. not just 8 weeks later (06 Feb.).. Fan not working again... 20c in my fridge... Now I have to wait yet again for a repair man to come.. told prob. 2 days before I hear from someone.. Last time it took weeks.. due to waiting for fan part.

Great fridge – Keeps the food cold and fresh. The space is more than ample for the two of us. I have the one with the stainless front. Pro's: Keeps cold, easy to clean the inside, has the bottom wide keeper, plenty of door shelves which are adjustable. Freezer has the light so easy to find food at night. Con's: Hardly any. Due to my having it in a shed the seals have discoloured. Not sure of the model to be exact.  Show details

Great Family Unit – Excellent size for a family of four (which includes 2 hungry teenagers) shelves can not only be moved but split to accommodate different size bottles and dishes. Fantastic at Christmas with all the extra food. Freezer is a fantastic size. Two vegetable draws, only down size is a the meat tray could be a little larger.  Show details

Dream fridge! – This fridge is so quite and powerful, it has everything you need. You can open from both sides, you have compartments for everything you can imagine! All round good design with good stainless steel finish. Matches all my other kitchen appliances. The bottom draw makes easy access and keeps veges so fresh!  Show details

Very efficient good looking fridge – Always maintains perfect temps of 3 degrees in fridge and -18 in freezer but haven’t been through a hot summer yet. Very quiet operation easy to access inside fridge even using one door. Love the extra long drawn under the crispers - great for celery. Haven’t moved the shelves around much but plan on using the split shelves for the summer. Only… Read more

negative so far is that it is difficult to remove and clean the bottom shelf that is above the crispers.

AWESOME love it – Fantastic fridge. Easy to keep clean. adjustable shelves. Love the split shelf capability. This gives you the option to stand 2L bottles or wine up in the coldest part of the fridge. SO much room. 2 chiller draws with large capacity. was really reasonably priced. The runners on the shelving system are not cheap plastic like some of the… Read more

other fridges like the Hisense.

Freezer is a good size. Love the top slide out small draw.

I find the big draw a bit of a pain as you have to move things around to see whats in there. But will live with this as i LOVE the fridge.

Mum bought the Hilsense,french door and she hates it.

Would not suggest buying – I do not care for this refrigerator because it always vibrates. I also think it is not easy to clean. There are too many difficult areas to get at to clean. It stays cool and I do not care for the freezer on the bottom. Just my preference in not caring for the bottom freezer.  Show details

Happy with our purchase – French door design is great, plenty of room, it holds its temperature perfectly, it also looks and feels like it's made well and the stainless steel finish is just beautiful. We've just replaced our side by side fridge and although we love the LG we much prefer the side by side design, so much easier.  Show details

Love this fridge!! – The fridge is super quiet, massive freezer space and lots of different compartments. I love using the bottom fridge drawer for all of my cold meats. I also love that the glass shelves slide out. I was skeptical about buying an LG fridge but it’s great. Super easy to clean. LOVE IT!!  Show details

So in love with my new fridge! – This is the best fridge I've ever owned - and bonus - IT LOOKS GREAT TOO! Very modern and sleek. I'm in love with the French door opening, much easier to store larger items, platters etc. The cold drawer in the bottom of the fridge is handy too. I love the pull out shelf in the freezer, though it seems as a bit of space is lost in the lower drawers, with the rounded shape. Overall though, I couldn't be happier with the LG fridge.  Show details

Great – Easy to clean great capacity for freezer and fridge. Quiet operation looks fabulous and great compartments with glass shelves excellent I really like the stainless steel finish and the fact that the shelves slide out makes it easy to get to things, love the 2 doors with plenty of space for bottles and sauces  Show details

Super smart fridge – Awesome fridge maintain good temperature all the time. Easy to move around and looks classy as well. Super user friendly. Very spacious and has place to store stuf for family of 4 or may be more. I'm super happy with the fridge and would recommend to everyone to go for the same.  Show details

Great fridge – Very quiet fridge. Love the frenchdoor setup and easy access. The freezer draw is a good size to,shame they stopped the ice maker just before we bought it, but it wasn't a deal breaker. The adjustable shelves are a great idea for those odd sized items we all end up with. Good door storage as well. Very happy with the look and the design internally and well as externally. Would recommend  Show details

Absolutely beautiful – This fridge is absolutely amazing it has digital temperature reading and everything. Lots of shelves. The freezer is freezing cold and the fridge is also really cool. Great buy and totally worth the money. It's definitely the best fridge i have ever owned. No regrets and really reccomend to all.  Show details

Love my fridge! – This is a very good fridge, extremely quiet and very easy to clean. I haven't had it very long so it really hasn't had time to get dirty. Loads of room and I'm really happy with the freezer being on the bottom. I read a review that said the doors aren't magnetic but I have a magnet holding my calendar on the front of the fridge. I especially… Read more

like the storage in the doors, very roomy and big enough to hold 3 ltr milk cartons sideways. Fingerprints don't show up either so the fridge always looks nice and clean.

Big capacity – Big enough for our family. And you can Chang the humidity for veges and fruits. But personally I don't like French door. And make sure you open it for a period of time to remove the smell before using. But good quality as a whole and the colour matches with the kitchen.  Show details

Review – My 4 girls and l bought this fridge about one year ago and have found it so suitable for our family. When we went shopping this was the nicest looking fridge and the amount of space and draws there is, is very practically for us. The freeze has a top pull out draw and deep basket's, which fits alot of food, its a great fridge.  Show details

Great Fridge – Bought it 10 month ago. Working really good so far. Very quiet. The only bad thing is that the door is not magnetic, so you can't put any magnets. Only at the sides. I love the two doors fridge. Fits everything. 10 years warranty and make ice if its connected to the water plug. I recommended it.  Show details

Practical fridge, great storage – I have had this fridge for a few months. Overall we havent had any problems with it. PROS: seperate vegetable drawers plus full width drawer compartment with adjustable temperature slide out shelves for easy food access deep door storage the fridge body is 600mm deep so it sits flush with surroubding kitchen cabinets CONS the freezer… Read more

drawer can be bulky and difficult to reach things

I dont like the look of the handles

A 2L bottle of soft drink is too tall to fit in the shelves on the door.

Great Fridge – This fridge has plenty of useful compartments, the shelves are adaptable to different size goods. There is also a pull out drawer which really comes in handy. I love the two doors which is great for large items. I'm really happy with my purchase, and the fridge needs less clearance space around it so it fits neatly in my kitchen  Show details

Good fridge, some flaws – It's a good looking fridge and works well in most kitchens. It keeps temps down but is annoying that you have to open both doors to open the larger trays. The drip proof trays are convenient and is very quiet. Overall it is pretty good value for money and decent quality.  Show details

Good Fridge – I have this fridge for 6 months now. so far so good. It is big enough to put all my grocery and fruits in it for enough maybe two weeks. Because I am busy and can't go shopping every day! So I shop once in a fortnight. So far it is OK. No problem yet. It is quiet and cold!  Show details

Impressed – Very good thermostat in fridge and freezer. Nice wide shelves. Space could be maximised in freezer though. Lots of versatile shelving in the doors but make sure they are properly fitted. We had one fall off and hit the top of the freezer drawer and dent it. Very thin metal:(  Show details

Very good – Maintains a good temperature and is quiet and easy-to-use and clean .energy efficient and looks good. Will suit any kitchen. Love all of the features and the brand speaks for itself. I would prefer a fisher and paykel as they are my favourite of all time but too expensive. And they have a great star rating.  Show details
