    Hi Akizufer,
    There are a lot of posts about French door fridges. You may want to search for LG fridge to find it.

    I think generally it is hard to get repaired because there just aren't that many people fixing them.

    We are getting the GE Profile FD fridge.

    Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe LG also makes the Kenmore version. Sears has them on sale right now as well. I'm heading to Sears this weekend to purchase mine:)

    That was last year's model--the new model was just recently released: LFX21960ST

    We've got this model LG fridge:

    and we've had zero problems with it. We bought a floor model at a huge discount and purchased an additional 5 year warranty just in case. So far, I'd buy it again. I think it looks great, and operates just as a fridge should. LOVE the French doors, too!

    Out of curiousity, is there anything other than the door seal in the middle that would make an FD fridge different from a BF fridge by the same company?

    I went to the LG web site - any idea what the difference is between the LFX25950 and the LFX25960???

    I will answer two questions. First -- yes the Sears french door refs ARE made by LG. This was confirmed by the Sears people, and If you look at them -- it is dead-on obivious!
    Second, I am "pretty sure" the "LFD"'s are the earlier models, and the LFX's are the latest revision. We just got the LFX-21960 Counter depth with water and ice in door. We are happy with it -- but just beware with the CD and the ICE/water disp. taking up most of the left door -- you are losing some serious area of storage. The thing has worked super for a month and a half. To make up for the lost area we are looking for a "nice" basement/beer fridge.

    We've had the LFD21860ST for about 5 months now. I believe they've discontinued this model. It has the external water dispenser, which means that you don't lose all of the shelves on the left door. It does mean that you have an ice bin in the freezer, which when more or less full, will drop a bunch of cubes on the interior floor of your freezer, or your kitchen floor.

    It's designed so that the shut-off wire thingy reaches a good 1 1/2" into the ice bin, so when you pull the top shelf out, ice cubes get dislodged. Annoying, buy fairly minor when considering the advantages of this model. Overall, we really like this fridge. In retrospect, though, I would have gotten the ice and water through the door model, especially since we ended up getting an undercounter beverage fridge.

    IÂve read the reviews from this forum regarding the poor customer service with LG and DH and I are thinking of purchasing the Sears model so that we would have better service. IÂm assuming Sears has better service??? I really like the features on the LG  we definitely want the ice and water in the door and the other units take up a lot of fridge space  not just the door space like the LG. And we really like the bottom freezer tip-out feature too.

    Beware of Model LFX21960st french door counter width. I have had problems with doors closing, crisper broke within the first week, water and ice dispenser won't handle large glasses, ice basket small. I purchased mine in January 07 but was smart enough to buy a extended warranty! I am having major problems with the ice maker fan now. Have been without ice since last Thursday today is Tuesday. Second repair man comes tomorrow to do I don't know what as I do not want them to fix my fridge, I want a new one. Their cock - a - mayme repair is to pull the whole inside of my fridge out and screw a piece of plastic to the ceiling and walls to prevent the ceiling from falling!! Can you believe this? The repairman said it would happen!! Supposedly, the fan freezes up... No mention of fixing the problem with the fan.... I paid $2799.99 for this and I do not want a cobbled together piece of junk! I bought this frig for one reason, the freezer door tilts!!! I will bet I have only used that feature 1 or 2 times since I got it..mainly to see how it works. I don't know what applicances are best. But for sure I am leary of LG. I purchased a $1600.00 dual fuel range from Sears and the first time I cleaned the oven, it got so hot the top of the control panel warped and melted..Cost over $700.00 to fix, but thank God I had a warranty. The $1000.00 Kenmore Elite Oasis washer that is agitator free, tied my sheets and clothes in such knots I could hardly get them apart!! They had to change out the control panel and put in a small agitator.. Don't know what that would have cost. This has all taken place in the last month. Only appliance that hasn't broken yet is my dishwasher...knock on wood! Good luck everyone.
