What Customers Are Saying
The refrigerator has a spacious design with convenient features like the see-through door and dual freezer drawers. Customers appreciate its modern look, quiet operation, and ample storage space. However, some have experienced issues with the ice maker and compressor failing prematurely, leading to costly repairs and poor customer service.

We had the compressor replaced in the freezer. I believe the freezer should be colder. The ice cubes should be solid like a rock. The ice cream is like soft serve.

Died as soon as the warranty was up
Okay while it lasted. The freezer stopped working less than six years after we bought it, but just over five years so that the warranty nor the extended warranty covered the problem. Love the viewing window, but it only holds a small amount of ice. The inner part of the viewing door was staring to come apart as well. Will not be buying another LG appliance.

BUY THIS ONE-BEST REFRIGERATOR
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely LOVE this refrigerator!! So much space, keeps things cold, and our favorite part… the door and being able to knock and look before opening its little door. 10/10 would buy again!

Ice Maker Subpar at best
Icemaker distributes unevenly creating a roadblock to filling the ice compartment. This issue creates little to no ice in the compartment at any given time. The fix is a manual fix where the owner must open ice maker door bang the roadblock if ice down into the ice compartment holder and hit the on and off button so the freezer understands it’s time to make ice again now the the roadblock has been distributed correctly.

Display doesn't show when something's wrong
Lots of nice features. Unfortunately, some basic ones are missing, like an alarm and/or an error code when the unit fails. The display shows only the temperature setpoints for the freezer and fridge compartments, not the actual temperatures (like every other thermostat in the world). The linear compressor is normally very quite, which is great, unless you fail to realize when it has stopped running. Your first clue that something is wrong will be the melted ice slowly dribbling out of the th...

Poor Reliability
Purchased the LMXS28596S /01 in May of 2021, it stopped working in May of 2025. Very disappointed in the LG appliance product line. According to the repair company, the compressor needs to be replaced. Parts are on order from LG. Going into my third week without a refrigerator… SMH!

Small freezer sections - LG model LXMS28596S/06
Overall, a fairly good fridge. Nice features such as bypass door. However the two freezer sections are quite small and have limited capacity. If we were to buy another fridge, we would probably purchase a three door instead of a four-door fridge. Display temperature does not match temperature of fridge or freezer measured with thermometer.

A big size for a big family
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this refrigerator in 2020. Unfortunately I haven't not been able to use the water line as of yet so I can't rate that. But my family loves the knock knock feature(more so me) because you don't have to open the door multiple times loosing the regulated temperature too often or too long. I have a family of 5 so we needed this large size it fits everything we need. The double freezer door helps keep more food in the main house since we st...
