About - LG LFX28977[SW]

The LG LFX28977[SW] is part of the refrigerator test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, bottom freezer refrigerator models like the LFX28977[SW] are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.


Temperature performance:
This combines results of tests measuring the accuracy of initial temperature settings along with how well a model 1) kept optimum temperatures in the refrigerator and freezer at the same time; 2) kept temperatures even throughout each compartment; 3) kept temperatures constant despite changes in room temperatures; and 4) maintained set temperatures even with very high room temperatures.

Energy efficiency:
This reflects electricity consumption (based on our tests) per cubic foot of measured usable storage space. For example, two models with the same energy cost per year may have different energy efficiencies -- the unit with more storage space being more efficient.

Noise:
Noise level was measured when the compressor started up and during steady running. Subjective judgments by a panel of listeners supplemented our noise-meter readings.
About This Brand

LG, a leader in the bottom-freezer, will be introducing a four-door French-door and more LED lights throughout its refrigerators as well as taller integrated dispensers and a new 33-inch model with ice and water dispenser.

Comment:
Fridges with french door with water and ice are a bit tricky to find but we have been very happy with the LG. Sometimes, but not frequently, the ice-maker has quit, but turning it off and back on and moving the wire sensor has fixed it every time. Lots of space, bright inside and suprisingly large freezer. Recommended.

Comment:
I chose the largest, top of the line refrigerator available. LOVE the bottom freezer (would have chosen the two-drawer if it had been Energy Star rated)! I've had to have it repaired twice in 1.5 years -- no big deal. My biggest disappointment it that it is RUSTING on the front door just below the ice maker! Unfortunately, this EXPENSIVE fridge will be sent to the wet bar downstairs!
