Deciphering the labeling of LG refrigerators
We independently verify the products and technologies we recommend.
Labeling of LG refrigerators displays information about the equipment, dimensions, features of a particular model. In the previous materials of the cycle about the decoding of the names, we sorted out the ins and outs of the refrigerators of the following vendors:
For a sample for deciphering the names of LG refrigeration equipment, we took one of the popular models of 2020:
By the detailed name of the refrigerator, you can understand all the ins and outs of a particular model. |
1 — Group of devices
In the beginning, everything is as prosaic as possible. G stands for refrigerator.
2 — Country / region of manufacture
There may be several options here:
- A — Russia;
- C — China;
- N — Indonesia;
- R — South Korea;
- W, B — Poland.
3 — Features of the model
The third letter usually contains information about the features of the refrigerator (drip, with auto-defrost No Frost, made specifically for a particular retail chain, etc.). Base models of LG refrigerators with a No Frost defrost system are usually assigned the symbol B. Separate signs also indicate the layout of the refrigerator. In particular:
- B — freezer from below or from the side;
- H — the top location of the freezer ;
- M — with swing doors Side-by-Side ;
- Q — with Side-by-Side doors and Door-in-Door system;
- X — with hinged doors, Door-in-Door technology and a built-in water dispenser.
4 — Height
The "growth" of the refrigerator is indicated by the first pair of numbers in the expanded name:
- 22 — 178 cm;
- 24 — 179 cm;
- 37 — 174 cm;
- 39 — 172 cm;
- 41, 42 — 191 cm;
- 45 — 186 cm;
- 48 — 200 cm;
- 50 — 203 cm;
- 56 — 185 cm;
- 59, 70 — 180 cm;
- 71 — 186 cm;
- 72 — 203 cm;
- 76 — 179 cm;
- 80 — 184 cm.
In terms of "size" there may be other numerical combinations — the principles of labeling LG refrigerators periodically change in one direction or another.
5 — Refrigerator type
The third digit is responsible for the location of the cameras.
- 1 — single-chamber units;
- 2 — freezer on top;
- 7 — Side-by-Side layout and its derivatives;
- 9 — bottom placement of the freezer.
6 — Type of door and handles
- S — door with a hidden handle;
- T — doors with hidden handles and lighting;
- Y — a door with a conventional handle;
- A — door with a hidden button;
- B — straight flat handles in the doors;
- P — hidden door handles;
- J — single door for the entire height of the refrigerator body;
- U — double door to the entire height of the "body".
Here, too, other marking options are possible.
7 — Design and colour
- X***X V XX, X***X Q XX — white;
- X***X E XX, X***X Y XX — beige;
- X***X A XX, X***X S XX, X***X F XX — stainless steel;
- X***X L XX — Silver;
- X***X M XX — platinum silver;
- X***X B XX — black;
- X***X G XX — glass doors;
- X***X GB X black glass;
- X***X GR X — red glass;
- X***X GD X — silver glass.
8 — Model Specifications
The last two characters in the name of LG refrigerators indicate the configuration and availability of the screen, as well as the type of compressor used. Depending on the product line, their decoding is different.
To understand the general essence, we will give several examples of decoding the last two letters:
- CA — with a screen inside and a special compartment for storing fresh vegetables / fruits Moist Balance Crisper.
- QA — display on the outside of the door, there is a freshness zone Opti-Fresh Zone.
- KZ — with an external touch screen and a special container Opti-Temp Zone for storing vegetables, meat and fish, a linear compressor.
And now let's get our hands on a specific instance of the refrigerator:
G — refrigerator; C — Chinese assembly; B — freezer on the side; 24 — "height" 179 cm; 7 — Side-by-Side layout; S — doors with hidden handles; V — white body colour; DC — there is a dispenser, touch control is provided, integration into smart home systems, inverter drive "under the hood".
The principles of labeling LG refrigerators have changed periodically and continue to change to this day. There is no general summary data for all models, therefore, when choosing refrigeration equipment, it is better to focus on the description of the model you like. Nevertheless, deciphering the encoding of LG's "food stores" will help you quickly and better navigate the variety of offers on the modern refrigeration equipment market.
