Manual defrost appliances require unplugging to melt ice naturally, but offer more space, lower energy consumption, and lower cost without the internal heating element. Frost-free appliances regulate temperature to prevent ice build-up automatically. Automatic defrost systems use a timer to circulate heat and prevent ice accumulation, while adaptive defrost systems use sensors to determine the optimal times for heat circulation.)

Q: I am trying to decide on a new refrigerator and other brands seem to have a lot of ice maker issues. How does this one compare?

A: I have owned this LG for 1 year and 9 months. The Icemaker has been replaced now 4 times in 6 weeks and continues to fail. When it works, it works great. I have no idea why they cannot fix it. Each attempted repair leads to it getting worse. I will be seeking a replacement refrigerator at this point. I have done all diagnostics (LG has great support documents and help videos). It is a little complex to diagnose the problem, but hey I was with NASA. Regardless, I am going into Best Buy and getting a new frig at this point as there is no solution. The interesting part is that each part LG has sent as a replacement icemaker has had a different connector on it, meaning they do not seem to know what icemaker is in this model. The rest of the unit is great. The door design has issues, and some of the set up like the water dispenser are ergonomic nightmares, but it is fantastic otherwise.

Q: What are the measurements?

A: The dimensions of the product are 35.38 inches D x 35.75 inches W x 68.38 inches H.

Q: Where do I go after purchase to register for 10 year warranty?

A: Hi There, Just go to LG.com and there is a Register Your Product link. I was going to send in the card, but was able to do it online. I recall the confirmation taking a couple days after pressing submit. But, I did get one.

Q: What is the size of this refrigeror? Thanks

A: The item is 69.75 inches high. 35.38 inches deep, and 35.75 inches wide.

Q: What are the exterior dimensions?

A: The dimensions of the refrigerator are 35.75 W x 69.75 H x 32.88 D.

Q: Is the front of the refrigerator magnetic?

A: No it is not magnetic. We had to hang our calendar on the fridge using a 3M Command hook.

Q: All of my pull out drawers are broken

A: Hi Rosy. We regret to hear that all the pull out drawers on your LG 27.6 cubic foot French Door Refrigerator with Thru-the-Door Ice and Water, Model # LFX28968ST are broken. Are all of them broken or is it that they have come off their tracks? That part of your Refrigerator has a year warranty on parts and labor so if you're still under warranty and the breaking of the pull out drawers is not due to a manufacture defect, you can either call the LG Customer Interactive Center at (800) 243-0000 to schedule an in warranty repair. You will need proof of purchase to establish your warranty, or you could visit the LG site at www.lg.com/us/support and schedule a repair online. If you have the Geek Squad warranty, you could just contact the Best Buy from whom you purchased the Refrigerator and they will take care of it for you...IFV
