Frost-free appliances regulate temperature to prevent ice build-up automatically.

Q: Has any buyers had issues with LED lighting going out randomly on the inside of the fridge?

A: I purchased this refrigerator in April 2019. After a few month the lights stopped working. Unplugging the unit, then plugging it back in resolves but the lights eventually will go back out after time. Its very disappointing that this is a know issue since January 2018. https://www.applianceblog.com/mainforums/attachments/technical-service-pointer-w11218221-pdf.40836/

Q: thoughts about the use of space with the ice being available on the door. Wondering if those that have purchased are feeling the need for more door space for dressings, etc.

A: No. Has plenty of room for a family of 4. At least for us. My wife likes the refrigerator so that means I love it. I suggest you look at one up close and evaluate.

Q: 1. What is the depth of the 2 top freezer drawers...Is it at least 4" so you can fit a half gallon ice cream container..It looks very shallow 2. Can the top freezer drawer be removed so there are only 2

A: No you can not get half gallon containers of ice cream in it. I have to use the bottom drawer to hold my ice cream. Don't know if the top one could be removed or not, but I like the 2 drawers over the bottom big drawer as I can arrange my freezer items a lot better where I can see everything a glance.

Q: Can this ref be put tight against a side wall or does the door/handle need more space? 26.2 4 French door SS BTW the chat does not allow me to enter any information.

A: We installed this refrigerator in a space that was made for a counter-depth refrigerator. The depth of this model is about 4 inches deeper than the counter-depth refrigerator that we replaced. The new refrigerator fits fine in the space and the doors allow for a full opening without restriction. However, if one of the sides is flush with a wall that extends beyond the door opening, the access to the interior will be restricted and would limit the "full view" and full access when both french doors are opened.

Q: What type of compressor does this have.....is it the linear compressor?

A: No this does not use the LG Linear. This is not an LG product and is actually better. The linear compressors dont last and you will loose food and money if you buy anything with the LG linear. Their claim to fame Is how quiet they are but when your food spoils and they won’t cover the repair over $1000 after only owing it one year you will want to choke someone. It happened to us 2 times In less than 30 months of owning a linear compressor $5000 LG fridge and never again The Whirlpool or Maytag brands are the best.

Q: Our power went out for several hours last night and today everything in the freezer is soft and everything in the fridge is not very cold. What do we do in a case where the power goes out?

A: Make sure your refrigerator after a power outage is not going back to a higher temp factory setting when the power comes back on..

Q: What is the ice cube shape ?

A: Wedge shape or you can have it come out crushed
