Great fridge at an affordable price – I've had this fridge for 11 years and works as good as the day I brought it. It hasn't missed a beat. Only negative is that the draws have broken. Show details ·  1

Love it! Great LG fridge – Fridge easy to use. Great space. Like the temperature check feature. Doors open and close with out too much strength needed. Compartments well thought out. Doesn't make any noise. Very quiet. Happy to give it 8 out of 10. Only thing I wish it had was wifi function. Great for price point though.  Show details

Great fridge – I've had this fridge since 2011. Still runs very well. It maintains a good temperature throughout, though you may want to set it to it's nearest cooling setting otherise it won't be cold enough. It's relatively quiet. Just buzzes really. Nothing over the top. The clear glass and plastic makes it very easy to clean.  Show details

Badly designed fridge – The motor works well and we have had no problem in that area. The shelf design is hopeless as it only has two glass shelves and a vegetable drawer. We unfortunately down sized from the family size refridegerator. I have tried to place the 2 (only) shelves every way but the bottom line is that L.G. designer's have failed.

meets my needs going on 7 years now – I bought this fridge brand new 2010 and it still works till this day haven't had any problems except i only need a new handle as the kids hung on the door and caused a crack in it but otherwise I think the fridge has worked good my food has always stayed cold and frozen.  Show details

This fridge is junk – This fridge is less than 3 years old and has gradually stopped freezing food properly. Called LG they were less than useless and offered no help at all. Called a serviceman and he said it needed re-gassing as there is an internal gas leak. We have paid to have if re-gassed but don't know if it will work, if not we will have to buy a new fridge. LG was definitely a bad buy and we would never buy any of their products ever again.

Same problem as everyone else – Brought this fridge / freezer in December 2011. Now I am having the same problem as everyone else. Freezer won't work and fridge is cold but not cold enough. Milk goes off after a day. I also have the extended 3 year warranty on the compressor but have no idea if it is the compressor that is faulty. My guess would be the thermostat. I am currently… Read more

renovating a house and purchased exclusively LG products for every room, including fridges, TV's, dishwasher, air conditioners and washing machine as I thought they were a good reliable brand. I have since cancelled my order, my $10,000+ can go to another more reliable brand. I don't want to replace all my appliances after 3 years which it seems is the life expectancy of LG products. Very disappointed but glad I learnt this before buying more LG products.

Does not last very long – Bought my fridge in late 2010, once had to have the freezer door seals replaced. Now it's stopped cooling. The fridge is warm and the freezer is cold but not freezing anything. Have called LG who were no help, only told me to contact my city's service store and it would cost me money. The fridge came with a 2yr warranty + 3yrs on compressor. How… Read more

am I supposed to know if this is a compressor issue or something else that is going to cost me money? Of course the service store is closed over the weekend so i am stuck using an esky until monday. Not impressed at all.

So i am trying to find an answer online, all i can see so far is many more people with the exact same problem.

I have tried defrosting for 24hrs, didn't help. Yet to look for something called Coils and Fans? It does seem to be quieter than usual.

This is my first fridge so i am very new to any of this.

See arr eh pee – 3 months out of warranty and, like most reviews here, fridge won't cool. Now have to deal with LG's "service". Wish me luck. I can see this is rhe last LG we ever buy.

Defrost issue - error code – I have an 3 year old LG-GN422FW with defrost error lights all 4 from right lit up. Had the defrost controller thermostat and main board replaced by fridge tech, continuity checks out on defrost heater element and new thermostat. Defrosting it with hairdryer every 7-10 days due to defrost not working. Is it possible a wire is broken between… Read more

freezer connections and main board as the error code indicates either defrost or broken wire?? In to it by around $300 so it may be just worth binning and buying something other than LG. First and last time i'd buy LG brand.

Good fridge but iceberg lettuce won't fit in vegetable crisper – We bought this fridge as it fitted out limited budget. We've had it for about 2 years and it has performed well with one exception: an iceberg lettuce will not fit into the veggie crisper! This would probably annoy a lot of Aussies who typically buy such lettuces. My apologies for not posting this earlier so that consumers could be aware this.… Read more

Good size for the price and no problems after 2 years use. The veggie crisper will not accommodate an iceberg lettuce unless it was a very small one!

Disappointed - Poor design and flimsy construction, particularly ice maker and crisper – Was looking for a largish frost free fridge with sturdy construction. This fridge appeared to fit the bill as it is spacious. But in practical use it didn't turn out that way. I was also particularly looking for something with a good manual ice making tray. I was initially against plastic parts because of previous experiences. The salesperson… Read more

seemed to be good at turning all my hesitations into features, assuring me that unlike other models the plastic used in this model was high density that should "never" break and that the shelves were "unbreakable" glass. The problem is that they did, predictably crack and even break after just a few months even with extreme care. The vegetable crisper simply snapped off its rollers, not even under load. Its bad enough that you can't even fit a lettuce into it due to the poorly designed small opening. But my single biggest gripe is that the ice maker. The design is terrible and compared to my previous fridge, is practically useless and drives us crazy. It is made of flimsy white plastic. It ices up its rails, locking it in place and making it impossible to put in and out without straining. It leaks down the sides and makes the handle is so hard to turn you feel like you'll break it. Makes you feel like giving up and just buying a good old ice tray from a $2 shop. Just not good enough when its one of the key features. Also the shelves build up gunk in their frames which is difficult to clean and the temperature controls are temperamental. I also don't really like the bulky look of this fridge with its large handle, but price and the salesperson got in the way of that in practice the handles are way too large, expect kids to get thumped in the head by it at least once. For the money I paid, I really wish I had gotten something a little better designed, more robust and reliable. Big, Frost Free, Quiet, Good Price Poorly designed, Flimsy construction, Unusable ice maker

Disappointed – I have LG TV, Washer, Dryer, DVD,Sound system and refrigerator. Have always thought the brand had decent reliability and interface. Fridge is just over 4 years old and doesnt get much use. I work away and live alone so normal wear & tear doesnt apply but the the refrigeration area decided overnight to stop cooling. Freezer is ok but no warranty… Read more

left so may need to look at another brand. Have transferred food out, shut it down and tried restart but still wont cool. Disappointed Design Short life span

Value for Money – We have had the fridge for approximately 5 months and to date it has done all we expected, because we live in a warm climate and the fridge stays full we have had to set the setting high to keep everything cold. This fridge is a true example of the saying, that you get what you pay for, its not flash but does the job, I would upgrade if it was for… Read more

my own place. Only two gripes and the first is a big one, my wife and I have on more than one occasion hit our heads on the bottom edge of the freezer door handle when standing up after getting something from the crisper drawer. Its sharp and it hurts, poor design.Secondly the crisper drawer is hard to access the back items, it would have been nice if it came out further. Value Freezer door handle dangerous.

Life is good with LG – What an amazing experience - My Mum has been without a fridge since Feb 21, 2013. Long story with Easter in the middle but LG have come to the party. Customer service can only help within reason. Management seen that there was a case - LG are fixing on behalf of my mother. This long experience has been stressful but resolved with the win win outcome Management looking into the case - re no parts and Service center delay  Show reply

Good Fridge for small family – Have GN-422FW, bought in 2010. i find it really good. good quality fridge, no noticeable noise at all, very quiet. no icing problem in the freezer. fridge is good. only issue i have is that the top Vege/fruit tray tend to freeze anything placed in that top tray (if you turn the temperature to high). but overall no issue with this fridge,… Read more

haven't had any issue with my fridge and would recommend this product. No noise. no ice problem in freezer. solidly built

Reliable – Had a second hand Samsung that was not suitable for our new house, so after much searching we settled for the LG. Very pleased with it so far, is incredibly quiet compared to my Samsung. Temperatures are fine, vegies stay fresh, freezes meat quickly. Happy with purchase, can only assume people with bad reviews were just unlucky! Suitable for 2-4 people. Very quiet, easy to clean - Show reply

Poor temperature control – We bought this fridge (GN422FW) less than 3 years ago. It's been spoiling all the food in the freezer and bottom recently - can't even store milk because at 12 degrees it goes sour within 2 days. The temperature keeps fluctuating from 12 degrees to 4, then back up to 12. We tried turning the fridge off and used a blow dryer to defrost any ice.… Read more

Didn't do a thing. Because it was bought just under 3 years ago, it's past the 2 year warranty period (convenient) so we'll have to get someone to fix it or buy a new fridge. Our old fridge lasted double that time and was cooler!

Very disappointed! If I knew it was going to die out so quickly, I wouldn't have bought it. I'm surprised because our other LG products last at least 10 years.

Better off buying another fridge that won't give you so much grief. easy to keep clean, noisy, not cold enough, shelf space limited and arranged poorly

Minimal shelf space – This refrigerator, model LG GN-315FW, has only one adjustable shelf level and is very limited on shelf space. We had to remove the Fresh Zone door to make an additional easily accessible shelf. We also have to use the Ice Serve compartment in the freezer for extra food storage. We removed the egg storage rack to make more space on the door… Read more

shelves. Never buy from the catalogue like we did. We made the mistake of not going into the store to look at it first. We were searching for a fridge with dimensions that suited our space and unfortunately overlooked other factors. Shelf spacings on the door are okay.

Surprisingly quiet – I bought this about 9 months ago after finding it on sale at Harvey Norman. Was looking at so many fridges and their reviews on this site, and this one had good and bad reviews so was unsure if I was making a mistake. I am so glad I got this, because it is incredibly quiet. I keep temperature at 4 (there are 5 levels) and it's kept all my food… Read more

frozen and my vegetables lasting a lot longer than I expected them to last.

Not had a single problem with it and the icebox and glass shelves have been great. Would prefer a slightly bigger freezer space but can't complain for the size.

And did I mention it's quiet?!

Would say this is a good size fridge for one - two people max. Any more people and it will get crowded. Quiet, Simple, keeps everything cold without issue, good value Slightly small freezer space, suitable only for 1 - 2 people

Terrible – Having the brand new fridge GN-422FW for 10 days, not happy about it apart it's quietness. No confidence in using it as it is not cold compared with my other fridge Westinghouse in the house. Have no confidence in using it especially storing diary or fresh products in case the food would get ruinned. Rang up LG today if they would send someone to… Read more

check the fridge, but the LG customer care is horrible, stressing that we need to pay for the service call if they could not find anything wrong with fridge. Advice was given to turn down the fridge temperature to make the fridge colder. That's absolutely absurd! We have the other Westinghouse fridge set at the same Temp 3 C , but definitely the Westinghouse is a lot colder. Don't buy LG fridge as it is not cold and the post customer care is horrible. We would not have purchased LG product if we've known their post customer care is so bad. Quiet The fridge is not cold. The freezer has to be turned down to temperature lowered than recommended by the LG manual book. Poor LG post customer care!

LG Fridge - Excellent product – We purchased this refrigerator in 2006 at a budget price and it hasn't given us one day of trouble. It does what it's supposed to do - keep our food cool or frozen. It is quiet, easy to clean and is well designed. It has a good sized freezer for 4 adults and our dog (bones etc). I like that I don't have to bend down and pull out drawers to see… Read more ·  1

what is in the freezer. The seal is still in good condition after 6 years.

The doors in both fridge and freezer are adequately deep and can be moved around to suit my own configuration.

There is adequate room in the crisper and lower shelves for lots of vegies and fruit which we eat all the time. I usually buy up for a week and the fridge copes well with this.

It's easy to clean with all the shelves being able to be removed easily.

The only 'complaint' would be that sometimes with the change over of the seasons the fridge can get a little too cool and freeze the leafy vegies if they are too close to the back wall of the appliance.

Also the pull out plastic tray with sliding lid, broke easily soon after we got the fridge.

I hope we can get several more years of service out of this excellent appliance. Everything. Be better if it cooked my meals, made ice and bought my shopping for me. :-)

Excellent – I finally opted for this fridge (mine is GN-422FW) after considering a few high-end brands with similar capacity and functions but cost over $100 more. I was initially a bit skeptical, but the CS assured me that this one is just as good as the more expensive ones. I have it for over 12 months now and have no regrets so far. It's nothing fancy,… Read more

but it has all the basic functions you NEED from a fridge. It's not frosty, easy to clean, and it's not noisy. Works well, quiet, energy saving, good price obviously Nothing so far

Excellent fridge for the price: It just works – Very quiet fridge (I had to check it was working..). My previous fridge was a fancy upside down Fisher and Paykel, it was always noisy and cost a hell of a lot more than this one, broke down after about four years. I decided to get an "old fashioned" freezer on top model and I love it. It seems to have more storage than my previous fridge,… Read more

especially in door compartment.

If you don't care about stainless steel exterior and don't want to pay more for fancy designs, this fridge is perfect.

It actually looks quite nice too.

I'm in Leura, Blue Mountains NSW, so the free delivery from Harvey Norman, Lithgow was an added bonus.

Thanks for reading and good luck with your fridge choice. Ice cube twist function, Very quiet and it just works.
