The key smart features of LG fridges: a quick overview

A family is in a bright kitchen: children play near the fridge while adults prepare food at the island with high stools.

LG fridges include a range of user-friendly features that make storing your food easier. Here are the key smart features of LG fridges:

  • InstaView: lets you see inside your fridge by knocking on the glass, so you can open the door less often and keep cold air inside.
  • DoorCooling+: circulates cold air through both the back of the fridge and the door, helping food stored in the door and on the top shelves cool more quickly.
  • Linear Cooling: reduces temperature fluctuations to help keep your food fresh for longer.
  • ThinQ: lets you control your fridge through an app, receive notifications about energy usage and open doors, and adjust settings remotely.

InstaView

With InstaView, you can see inside your fridge without opening the door. Simply knock twice on the glass panel to view what’s inside and see how your LG fridge is organised. This helps keep cold air inside, maintain a more stable temperature and keep your food fresh for longer. LG also offers American-style fridges and side-by-side models with InstaView.

Benefits of InstaView:

  • Check what's inside your fridge without opening the door.
  • Helps keep your food fresh for longer.
  • Helps reduce ice build-up.

DoorCooling+

A fridge with DoorCooling+ circulates cold air through the front of the fridge as well as the back, unlike a conventional fridge that cools only from the rear. This helps food and drinks stored in the door and on the top shelves cool more quickly and stay closer to the temperature of the rest of the fridge.

Benefits of DoorCooling+:

  • Faster cooling for food stored in the door and on the top shelves.
  • More even temperature distribution.

Linear Cooling

Linear Cooling is a technology that reduces temperature fluctuations inside your fridge. This helps your food retain its flavour and texture for longer while keeping your fridge at a more consistent temperature.

Benefits of Linear Cooling:

  • Helps maintain a consistent temperature inside your fridge.
  • Helps keep your food fresh for longer.

ThinQ

With LG ThinQ, you can control and monitor your fridge through an app on your smartphone. You can adjust the settings remotely, check your fridge’s energy usage and receive smart notifications if the door is left open or maintenance is needed. The app connects to your smart fridge via Wi-Fi and uses AI to learn how you use it. Over time, ThinQ can provide personalised suggestions to match your habits and help keep your fridge running efficiently for longer.

Benefits of ThinQ:

  • Control your fridge from your smartphone.
  • Receive notifications if the door is left open or if maintenance is needed.
  • Track energy usage and receive personalised suggestions.
