LG 36 Inch Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator LRFLC2706S

This French-door model provides 26.5 cubic feet of capacity, which reviewers consistently praise as exceptional for a counter-depth refrigerator. Multiple owners note they are amazed by how much food fits in both the fridge and freezer compartments, with deep door shelves and flexible shelving that maximize usable space.

Yes, reviewers consistently report that this model operates very quietly. One owner stated they can barely hear it running, and another compared it favorably to a much noisier side-by-side model they owned for 17 years. However, some reviewers have reported that the ice maker can be quite noisy, with one noting the ice maker was replaced but remained equally loud.

This model features a water dispenser located inside the refrigerator rather than on the door. Reviewers note that water comes out very quickly, so the door doesn't need to stay open long. While some owners initially preferred a door dispenser, most found the internal option acceptable once they experienced the fast water flow and appreciated the added interior space it provides.

While most reviewers report satisfaction, some have experienced problems including ice maker jamming or noise, water filter particles, freezer temperature inconsistencies, and in rare cases, cooling issues affecting food safety. A few owners reported needing service calls within the first few years. One reviewer experienced a complete failure after 3 years and chose to replace rather than repair.

Most reviewers report that the unit holds temperature well and cools effectively. However, some owners have noted temperature inconsistencies, with one reporting the left side of the fridge was 3-4 degrees warmer than the right side, resulting in unsafe temperatures in the 40s. Another owner experienced an error code and inconsistent temperatures that required service to resolve.

This refrigerator uses approximately 632 kilowatt-hours per year. Reviewers frequently mention the unit's efficiency as a positive feature, with several noting they appreciate the balance of large capacity with reasonable energy use.

One reviewer noted that the bottom-mounted French doors require bending down to open, and the lack of finger grooves on the top of the doors makes it inconvenient for tall people who must lean at an uncomfortable angle multiple times daily. This reviewer considered it a significant design misstep for their needs.

Most reviewers report straightforward installation, though one owner noted the refrigerator arrived leaning back too much with non-adjustable rear wheels, requiring them to add shims. Another reviewer found the instruction manual unclear regarding temperature adjustment, discovering the fix required unplugging the unit for 10 seconds—a step not clearly explained in the documentation.
