Q: Is the bottom of the freezer door solid, or more like a wire mesh?

A: The bottom of the freezer drawer is solid. So is the small drawer on the top where the icemaker is. There is also a cool little tilt out shelf in the door itself that is great for ice packs and small bags of veggies.

Q: Where is the ice maker? Is there storage for the ice. Where is the water dispenser? Is it easy to operate. Can I fill my coffee pot or small cook pot from the dispenser? Why no photos.

A: Yes there is an ice maker and a storage tray...have been very happy about amount of ice produced. Water spout is inside the refrigerator on the left side... not an easy fill for pots or pans but ok for items like water bottles.

Q: Do the doors make the width of the fridge wider? Or do the door hinges swivel?

A: The doors do not swivel, so if you have a wall or cupboard on one side that are the depth of the refrigerator, it will need to be pulled out beyond the doors. So while the refrigerator is counter depth, it will stick out the depth of the doors. The big door handles make it appear to stick out even further.

Q: What color are the handles?

A: Hi Reese- The Cafe Appliances Matte Collection models are shipped with Brushed Bronze handles. You can customize your look by purchasing a Cafe Customization Kit with handles and knobs to match the accents in your kitchen. Choose from one of 4 popular kitchen finishes: Brushed Stainless, Brushed Black, Brushed Bronze, or Brushed Copper. For more information, visit: Cafe Appliances Custom Hardware: https://www.cafeappliances.com/custom-hardware - Keep in touch! SUE@GEA

Q: Can it work propperly ourdoors? in summer, outdoor in the shade heat may reach 115 degrees Farenheit.

A: Hi Jose, thanks for reaching out to us. We would not recommend installing this refrigerator outdoors. The installation instructions state to not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go above 100°F (37°C) because it will not perform properly. We hope this is useful information to you. We're wishing you the best! - Guy@Cafe

Q: Does this have a water dispenser ?

A: Hi Jdpav - Yes! An internal water dispenser creates a sleek, uninterrupted exterior surface. Thanks for considering Model CWE23SP2MS1. Explore The Café Customizable Professional Collection at www.cafeappliances.com/collections/customizable-professional - Keep in touch! Sue

Q: How many drawers/ compartments are in the bottom freezer? I.e. how is it organized?

A: There is an upper drawer with a center divider -- one side is the ice bin for the ice maker; under that is a slightly larger divided in half bin. There is a small amount of storage on the drawer door.

Q: hi could you tell me where the power cord from the back of the fridge originates, ( ex-top left corner, bottom right corner) and how long is the power cord... thank you

A: Hi jackson1960 - The power cord is 61". Facing the front of the unit, the cord is on right 8" up and 2" over to left. Thanks for choosing Café! Keep in touch at https://www.cafeappliances.com/ - Sue

    beautiful fridge and worth the wait.

    bestbuy had it in stock for us sooner than any other seller we could find, local and big box. the fridge is a thing of beauty when complete, the counter depth is noticeably more shallow than standard and we don’t (so far) miss food getting lost behind other things. lighting is great. ice maker is very loud and considering looking for a silicone bucket or liner to see if this would help reduce noise. the freezer interior drawer is tethered to the main freezer door and does not pull out smoothly. the big hiccup with the fridge is that the manufacturer shipped without the handles and took hours on the phone, at least four separate calls with best buy employees and with LG representatives. if something like this happens to your order, go directly to LG, otherwise bestbuy submits a return for your fridge and ships a new one, planning on leaving the new fridge without handles, and then having to deal with the same issue for somebody else. aside from that, it’s been a few weeks and i’d totally update my review if it’s possible to do so in a year or so. oh, and the sides are black

    Inside great, outside not

    For being a fairly expensive fridge the quality is not quite there. Seems to be working just fine, but the outside corners where the plastic meets the white are coming up. Gaps, some with glue, which will become filed with grime over time. Also the plastic wrap does not come all the way off

    Sleek look

    I absolutely love the look of this refrigerator in our new kitchen. The “brushed gold” hardware looks more rose gold and I wish the white side panels weren’t sold separately. Thank goodness we purchased the extended warranty, the compressor went out after only 14 months, now it is super loud but the tech says that’s “normal” also the water dispenser should have the push button on the bottom to lean a cup on to fill.
