Very Noisy Fridge and Incredibly Poor Customer Sevice Team – It's been noisy from the start but I thought I'd contact the Good Guys later. I called the Good Guys Belconnen (26/08), met with an 'I don't care' woman, who said they couldn't do anything because of the lockdown. Called again the next day, and the lady, who was really nice, logged in the job for me with LG. From then, multiple calls to LG with… Read more
each customer care team member told me from their script sthat I'd look into it personally then nothing until I got really upset...Finally, they passed to their contract repairer, Tech1 but did not forward recordings I sent LG onto Tech. I had to resend Tech1 recordings which they had to pass to LG to confirm which parts they need to order...Long story short, Tech1 finally arrived to inspect/fix on 22/09/201. They could not fix it and gave me a report to confirm it's a noisy compressor and said they would escalate to LG. Heard nothing back after 2 working days so I called LG and they said they haven't got the service report from Tech1. I sent the report to LG via email (LG acknowledged it this time), but then Tech1 called me and said LG wanted to have a VIDEO, not just recordings- why would they need to video. I had to call LG again{ as I haven't recorded a video of my fridge, (Note: when I tried to record a video later the size became too big for email anyway). The poor LG guy on the phone told me they had everything they need and would get back to me Monday or Tuesday next week...In the meantime, I contiue to suffer from this lemon of a fridge.
LG, get your house in order please...
Very happy I bought this lg fridge (lg gt-442wdc) – We bought this LG GT-442WDC fridge (441 litre) as a replacement for an over 30 year old Westinghouse 512litre fridge and am pleased to say that it is a GREAT fridge. It was delivered and put in place by the Good Guys delivery man, the old fridge was taken away without any hassle. This fridge is a little smaller than our previous one but it gets… Read more
nice and cold, stays cold in all departments, has a door alarm that sounds if you leave the door open too long. It is easy enough to open and close. The freezer is adequate and has shelves on the freezer door. There is an ice maker that someone has shown this dinosaur how to use. The top shelf in the fridge section is a plastic pull out shelf and the other shelves are see-through as well. We have not had a full electricity bill since installing it so cannot say if we are saving money on the power yet. At first I thought that there would not be enough storeage on the shelves on the door of the fridge, but there was plenty for this household. The crisper keeps the vegetables fresh. CONS: This is not really a con, but I would have liked the crisper to have been 2 separate containers like the old fridge had. PROS: Overall, I think this fridge is a great buy, Looks nice and is quiet running, keeps all the compartments nice and cool. The design is good. Sits there quietly and does it jobs...A Quiet Achiever !
Excellet fridge - reduced my power bill by $160 per quarter – So happy with this 460Lt Top mount (freezer at top) fridge. I bouht this when QLD was incentivising upgrades to 4 star rating applicances. I am so glad I did... it took $160 off my power bill. The fridge itself is SUPER QUIET. I am really fussy about the intereior design of frigdes which is partly why I didn’t upgrade earlier, nothing was… Read more
as good interior wise as my old fridge.
Howver this one is quite nice.
What I like;
It has a pullout shelf at the very top.
it has plenty of room for tall items in the door.
The freezer design has plenty of room (some of them seemed smaller than this one)
What I think could be better:
There is only drawer for fruit and veges
The vege drawer doesn’t pull out far enough making it a bit difficult to get out heads of broccoli or cabbage.
The icemaker in the freezer is a bit flimsy and doesn’t work that well.
But for how quite it is the price and the difference it has made to my power consumption I am very satisfied.
Positive reviews
Has exceeded my expectations! – Didn't think this fridge would fit my weekly shopping and was surprised at how deep it was. I am also really happy with how fresh my produce is kept now lasting a couple more days than in my previous fridge. Would definitely recommend it. Show details
Great Fridge – Love this fridge,it is spacious, bright lighting inside. Strong shelves and runs very quitely.The doors are easy to open and close and the fridge beeps if you have accidently left a door open. Great fridge, great price. Show details · 1
Love it! Spacious and strong shelves – Like the design, colour etc and very easy to open and close the fridge. It beeps if it is left open for little bit longer. So spacious and keeps good temperature control. Show details · 1

Very, very disappointed – I wrote a very positive review on this product about 9 months ago but feel it necessary to write another review now. Love the fridge BUT the door of the fridge have small 'dents' that seem to appear over night. We are in our 70s with no pets, no children and very clean and house-proud but so disappointed that this fridge dents so easily. Hate to… Read more
see what it's going to look like in 5 years time. Would never have bought this knowing this problem. Also I totally agree with other reviews about the vegetable crisper down the bottom - the fridge door prevents you from opening the crisper wide enough to get anything in it properly - you literally have to remove the crisper just to get your vegies in and out. Total design fail.

Wish I never bought this fridge – Bought on 27/09/17, plastic fan in freezer compartment broke on august 2019, now after getting it fixed it’s broken again December 2020, have to wait 2 weeks for tech to look at it so I’m going to throw it out and never buy an LG fridge ever again nor will I recommend anyone to buy one, 3 years old and needs a 3rd fan, not to mention the inconvenience of not having a fridge for days on end because of waiting for technicians, Show details

Paper THIN DENTS easy! Thin PLASTIC cracks ! – Paper THIN DENTS easy! i have treated this with kid gloves since owning to avoid this very thing and without trying dents appear never seen anything like it.. so cheaply made :( Thin PLASTIC inside cracks but even Worse the vegetable drawer barely opens enough it doesnt hold enough for 2 people but as i said it doesnt open enough to fit a lettuce… Read more

Average - door closing and sealing issues – It’s good in many ways, however like others here I find that things at the very back of the fridge will freeze which is annoying. Also like others, sometimes when the fridge door closes, the pressure from it makes the freezer door pop open but only a few mm - so sometimes you may not notice, and it’s not enough to set off the open door alarm, so… Read more
they freezer will defrost or get condensation in it. Also it doesn’t auto-close itself! All fridges I’ve had in past if you leave open, the door will start to pull itself shut. This one doesn’t do that. It stops before fully closing and again - it’s not closed so letting cold air out, but it’s close enough that it doesn’t set the door alarm off. Frustrating!
Amazing – I recently bought an LG fridge, and I'm absolutely loving it! The cooling efficiency is top-notch, keeping all my food fresh and perfectly chilled. Plus, the spacious interior design is a game-changer, allowing me to store large pots and pans easily. The sleek exterior also adds a touch of modern elegance to my kitchen. I'm genuinely impressed with its performance and would highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable and stylish fridge. Show details
Works well but flimsy parts – I bought this fridge 2 years & 1 month ago because it fit the space we had. It has been pretty good for refrigeration and is easy to clean, but the build quality is not great. As others have noted, the outside dents very easily and the crisper drawer can't be pulled out enough for a lettuce unless you push the door back past 90°. The white… Read more
plastic above the crisper drawer split where the fruit/veg slider is within weeks of installation, and this week the white plastic edging around the top shelf split, then gave way. We have probably pulled out that "pull out shelf" less than 5 times since we got the fridge, so it's not wear and tear, just unfit for load bearing. I'm concerned about the rest of the shelves now, but have ordered a replacement shelf in hopes the rest of the fridge will survive a reasonable length of time.
The freezer struggles to freeze items at the front of the unit when they're put in but the main part is ok.
The ice cube trays are useless and a huge waste of space. It's impossible to get most of the ice cubes to tip out into the container beneath. Replaced that part with normal ice cube trays instead to increase available freezer space.
Overall, I would probably recommend buying another fridge unless you really need one with these dimensions.
Love the fridge but make sure the door is on the right side as it cant be swapped – Maintains constant temperature. Doors are easy to open so great for older people. Easy to keep clean. Price wise it was a bargain for what you actually get. Would thoroughly recommend this fridge. Show details · 1

LG FRIDGE IS NOT RELIABLE – I bought this fridge around August 2017. 2 months ago its door shelf is cracked although we used it gently. 1 month ago its leg support is cracked. I do not have enough time to buy a new fridge, and I do not want to use this fridge as a cracked door shelf preventing the door to close. LG provides a two-year warranty, and I need to pay around 100… Read more
dollars for replacing these parts. I do not recommend any LG product to people because of this experience.
Very good service – Very good fridge for our family of five. Easy to adjust the temperature. Ample space in the fridge and fridge. Very good in very reasonable price. I definitely recommend this product. Show details · 1
Very good fridge at this Price – Purchased this fridge from the good guys for $890 including the delivery. Very good fridge, considering the size and capacity of the fridge. Been working good until now. Compared with the samsung fridge, this fridge has space for bottles at the bottom of the door. Show details
Terrible. Wish I never bought it – Terrible. Freezer full of ice and frost in the first week I had it, and cycles between +12 and -23 degrees Celsius. Fridge won’t go below 6 degrees Celsius. LG service has been frustrating and uncooperative. Total waste of money and food. Show details
Adequate for a 3-person family – Have had this fridge for a couple of years. No complaints as far as temperature is concerned - it seems to keep a reasonable temp in all compartments, temp is easy to change if needed. The main thing I would say is that it's just adequate in size for our family (two adults, one toddler). We eat a lot of fruit/veg and they don't always fit in the… Read more
crisper, and if we're entertaining, fridge can be a tight fit. Things can get cramped in the freezer too (tend to freeze a lot of things with a toddler).
The fridge marks a little easily but is easy to clean (I use window cleaner... not sure if I'm supposed to, but it works). You have to be careful about knocking the door because it dents easily (we have some dents from a side cupboard opening onto the fridge).
The other thing that irritates me is that the door wants to swing closed when it's open and I'm trying to fill the crisper. Suppose it's good because the door won't be left open accidentally but it's a little annoying.
I like the little manual ice maker in the freezer - comes in handy.
solid performer – I has been close to 2 years since I got this fridge and zero complaints so far. Maintains a constant temperature and runs pretty quite. Wish the egg trays were bigger and the fridge was lit from the sides. Show details
Nice no frills fridge – I only had it delivered yesterday from The Good Guys .Delivery and removal of old Fisher & Pakyle was quick. My old fridge was at the time of purchasing the largest I could but back then I had a family and now there is only the 2 of us . So far it is keeping everything cold and surprisingly has a lot of room. The freezer is a good size and I love… Read more
the ice maker. I don't know why the egg holder isn't for a dozen ,doesn't matter I probably won't use it .Nice doors and it is very easy to open
Great fridge so far – Purchased a LG top mount fridge... Much happier with this... It's spacious.. Easy to clean. Bright and great value for money. Looks great too! I have small children and so far no fingerprints left... Yay! Show details
Excellent, so far so good – Excellent fridge. The only brand which would fit our site without kitchen modifications. Love the matt surface, extremely easy to clean, unlike other s/s fridges. There is nothing we don't like about it. It has plenty of shelf space. Show details

Fantastic easy to keep clean – Fridge and freezer have internal lights. Alarm sounds if either door is left open. Essy to keep clean inside and out. Freezer can be changed into fridge but I haven't used this. My electricity bill went down when I purchased this fridge freezer and has stayed down. Easy to adjust internal Temps Show details
Highly recommended – Great in every way. This fridge has lasted us for nearly 20 years. Has not skipped a beat. Its tremendous in every way. Great features. Loads of room inside Easy to keep clean Very affordable Great in every way for us Show details
Great energy saving refrigerator – I have bought this fridge a year ago. It doesn't make any noise. It has plenty of room for fresh fruit and veggies as well. Comes with smart diagnosis. 4 star energy rating will save you few $$$. 10 year warranty on inverter motor. Show details
Highly recommended – Colour is graphite and the size is just right. Plenty of space and I don’t even have to turn the temperature up! I put mine in the lowest setting for the freezer and mid in the bottom and it cools the fridge and keeps the food fresh. Beeps when you accidentally leave the doors open or have kept it open for a while. It comes with a phone app and you can log in and control the fridge set up using your mobile phone. Great value for money! Show details
Why would you make a weight bearing part out of plastic? – The levelling part under the hinge on the front of the fridge spontaneously gave way a few weeks back. Since then I've been in contact with LG. The first time they sent the wrong part. The second time they said they'd send the right part, then a few days later said they needed to send a technician. Today I waited, the technician came and now I… Read more
have to wait until they can get the part. So that'll be another day waiting around until they can fix the problem. What a waste of time for a fridge that is barely 18 months old!
It's a pretty cool deal! – My fridge is the absolute bees knees of chilling our foods, I wouldn't change anything about it except maybe one more shelf space and it opens and closes easily but still safe against tiny hands that aren't allowed to be in there love love love love . You should buy this Show details
Loads of space in both freezer and Lower fridge – We bought the LG 442 freezer top fridge bottom because it's just me and my partner and we buy weekly so our fridge is mainly used and the freezer is used for ice or ice cream or few frozen ready to eat meals. The price was really good too and it's power star rating was really good. The only one star we removed was because the door gets a bit sticky Show details
Too noisy and poor customer support – We've had this fridge for a year now and while it works well, the problem is the noise. The high pitch whine when it operates is terrible and can be heard across several rooms. We contacted LG support about this and eventually they did send out a technician. Unfortunately I think his hearing was not the best and given his age he might not… Read more
have been able to fully hear the high pitch. So, nothing was done to fix the problem. We've given up trying to get support to actually fix the problem.
If I could return this fridge, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
Don't buy this model-faulty seals and poor customer service – We are very happy with all aspects of the fridge, except the seal on the freezer. It does not seal on the top left hand corner, so whenever you close the fridge door the seal is opened on the freezer, and if you don't open and shut the freezer every time it will gradually open more and more. We have called the customer service team for LG as this… Read more
problem appeared within 2 months of purchase, and they said that this was normal and refused to do anything about it. I am very disappointed with the lack of understanding from the person I spoke to and with this product. Would recommend you spend your money on a different brand of fridge rather than risking experiencing the same problems!
Good looking and well sized – This is a nice looking fridge that is a good size. It has nice sturdy glass shelves. It is a bit loud at times and I wish the vegetable/fruit drawer was larger. Also the ice maker could be sturdier and larger but I do like how you can slide it over. The bottom shelf in the fridge door is a bit too short to be useful and sometimes the freezer door… Read more
sticks open so need to carefully close but it does beep to alert you if left open. Overall though it is a good fridge at a good price.
No problems unit, just works (2 Years and 9 months review) – No problems so far the Fridge is holding up well, easy to live with, like cleaning, takes a bit of rough treatment from kids and is easy to maintain. With kids (Grand kids for me) the chime on an open door is a function I now appreciate. The fridge adjustments are easy and the slide out draw is handy. The crisper being an odd deep shape is the… Read more
only negative for me, its a bit on the small size. Overall good quality again from LG, their white goods are improving over the models I purchased in the early 2000's. 5 stars well earned, so far so good.
Quiet and good Looking – What and absolute pleasure it is to welcome a new fridge after the old clunker finally (thankfully) went belly up. Food really feels colder and dryer. Maybe 'crisper' would be a better description because this fridge does a good job of spreading the cool around evenly. It has really good LED lighting inside too, so that's another bonus but the best thing is... its quiet. Doesn't make a sound! We love it. Show details
Quiet and cold – What more could you want in a fridge, quiet, cold and seems to be holding up to a tonne of use by a busy family. Well done LG on another great product. I will be continuing to buy LG in the future. easy to clean removable shelves and wipe down. Show details
