LG LFX28978S Stainless Steel French Door Bottom Freezer Refrigerator - LFX28978SS

If you’ve ever wished you had more space so you could be more organized, your wish has been granted. With 28 cubic feet, you get that extra space. Our own Slim SpacePlus™ provides ice while freeing up even more room in the door. And with French-doors it’s real easy getting food in or out of this refrigerator.

Key Features:

  • Slim SpacePlus™ Ice System
  • Tall Ice & Water Dispensing System
  • Ultra-Large Capacity (28 cu. ft.)
  • Enhanced Exterior / Interior Styling Package
  • Linear Compressor

Features:

  • One very cool design: It's great having an ice maker, but not if it means you can't fit all of your food in the fridge or freezer. The Slim SpacePlus™ice system provides more usable shelf space and makes way for additional door bin space.
  • Ultra-Large Capacity (28 cu. ft.): Stock-up and store everything you need. With a cavernous 28 cubic feet of space, this LG French Door refrigerator gives you ample space for all of your family’s favorite foods and keeps them conveniently organized and within reach.
  • Peace of mind: When you buy a refrigerator, you don't want to worry that it won't last. Because the Linear Compressor motor uses fewer moving parts and operates more efficiently, LG confidently backs the motor with a 10-year warranty
  • One size fills all: From pitchers to pint glasses: finally a water dispenser that can accommodate just about all. The water- and ice-dispenser in this LG 4-Door refrigerator is one of the tallest around, measuring in at an ultra-accommodating 12.6 inches.
  • Enhanced Exterior / Interior Styling Package: Includes stainless-clad dispenser, contoured doors, hidden hinges, recessed LED lighting, and an integrated crisper/deli storage center. Presents a sophisticated and refined look, inside and out.

    Love the design and all the interior options. Gigantic! The freezer is huge and easy to access. The drawers glide smoothly and lighting inside is bright. The only con is that the inner left door seal that swings out of the way when opening the door and swings back when closing both doors sometimes doesn't flip back into place when closing both doors. This causes the left door not to close properly. Think it's a matter of getting used to the way it works and the touch it takes to operate it.

    My new LG refrigerator was delivered and after 2 days I kept finding water in my kitchen floor. The Ice Maker had a leak and was allowing the water to pool in my floor. I contacted HHGregg and they kindly replaced the fridge. I have had the 2nd refrigerator for only a few months and again I am having trouble with the Ice maker and the door. The door closes properly about half the time. It has condensation collecting on the bar that should guide the door to close properly and as a result of the condensation I now have mold also on the gaskets, and the Ice maker has ice forming inside that is not an ice cube. I contacted LG and they scheduled a repair person to come repair the product. The repairman has ordered parts and then it will be necessary to schedule another appointment for him to come back a 2nd time (which means another day off work) to get a refrigerator repaired that is only a few month old and was not an inexpensive product. I would not recommend this product to anyone. I feel this is a very poor design on the doors that will not close properly. My house has 2 adults living in it. What would it be like if I had small children that opened the doors? I had my first refigerator (another brand) for 30 years and never had a problem with it. What will this one be like at year one?

        Comments about LG LFX28978S White French Door Bottom Freezer Refrigerator:

        After 15 months, the top and center hinge of the mullion are broken. Both appear to be made of a cheap plastic. We now have to carefully close the left door first and then the right. My concern is that this component will fail completely thus rendering the entire refrigerator useless.

            We love the LED lights and appreciate it having a water filter which are two things our prior refrigerator lacked. The ice maker is fine with sufficient capacity for our needs. The water dispenser may be a bit tricky first time used but it takes only one try to determine how to use it and it works very well. There is sufficient for us although somewhat limited storage space for taller items. It is very quiet and the temperature display for both refrigerator and freezer is a nice feature as is the door alarm. It is easy to adjust the temperatures. We love this refrigerator!

                  Excellent performance. Love that the icemaker is in the door, allowing for use of full shelf. The LED lighting in the top of fridge let's you see everything you have. Plenty of storage space in fridge & freezer, and keeps everything well organized. The fridge itself is beautiful -- jewelry for the kitchen!

                  from West Sacramento, CA, USA

                  Comments about LG LFX28978S White French Door Bottom Freezer Refrigerator:

                  We were in the market two years ago for a new fridge. After lots of research I narrowed it down to this LG unit and another Manufacturer of similar portions. In the end we made a terrible mistake. This fridge is very misleading. First off it states it is a 28 cubic ft unit, but we have not be able to maximize that space because the shelving design is not very intuitive. Things such as gallons of milk do not fit towards the back nor do many normal sized bottles. No we have actually lost 2-3 cubic ft. Then the door shelves are also under designed. Can barely hold a normal bottle of mustard. Who designs these things and what kind of food do they put into here for testing? The freezer area is actually great. No complaints there, but the fridge design is EXTREMELY poor. Also the water and ice dispenser is apparently very confusing. Over the last two years we have had more guests get water on the floor or themselves thinking they were getting ice. My advice, steer clear of this product. For the money you spend on it you will be just as dissatisfied about it as we are. The sad thing is we are considering purchasing a cheaper fridge just for the additional storage space.

                  Installed 2 days ago, and know we made the right decision. A beautiful unit, with tons of space. Finally own a refrigerator where I can load up with beer and still have plenty of space for food.

                  The Ice Maker / Water Dispenser takes up no room since it is in the door, and makes plenty of ice. Filled it up with groceries and still looks empty! Freezer sections organized well, plenty of space for 4 gallons of ice cream in freezer and 6 gallons of milk in refrigerator. Also this unit is very quiet, and looks awesome!! Only small comment is that the shelf supports take away from taller item space in the top shelves of the refrigerator, but not a huge issue. Enjoy!

                          We saw this on sale as a floor model. We've wanted to replace our old side-by-side for a long time, but it just won't quit! The great price was the incentive we needed. The old fridge is now in the utility room stocked with extra party beverages. This model looks great, is super convenient, quiet & energy efficient. I especially appreciate the accurate temperature controls. When we got it home, the LED display had a few dim segments and the ice maker tray didn't always return to the home position after dumping. A simple message to LG is all it took to get these two parts replaced under warranty.

                              Is it possible to fall in love with a refrigerator? Yes it is. I love my refrigerator. It has great features and lots of room. I have no problem with my ice maker. Although I don't use the ice maker as often as some people, the ice still comes out just fine. Sometimes I may have to break up some of the ice that clumped together from me not using it often but it's not a major issue.
