LG LRYKC2606S: ample space and four kinds of ice

This LG LRYKC2606S review follows a New Orleans area owner who likes the roomy counter-depth layout and ice selection. However, the mirror panel needs more cleaning than she expected.

What this review is based on

Specifically, this is an interview with one owner of this exact model. The observations below are their account. In addition, we did not conduct a controlled laboratory test or inspect receipts, energy bills, or thermometer logs.

Who we interviewed

Cathy R. lives outside New Orleans in a household of four. She says the refrigerator was purchased and installed January 12, 2026 for $4,050, replacing an older standard-depth model. At interview, she had owned it about eight and a half months. The site owner knows the interview subjects personally; Cathy did not report receiving the appliance from us.

What works / what falls short

What works for this owner

  • The capacity accommodates weekly shopping and entertaining.
  • All four ice styles have a use in her household, especially Craft Ice for drinks.
  • Normal compressor operation is quiet and her spot checks showed steady main shelf temperatures.

What falls short

  • The mirror panel shows fingerprints and smudges.
  • Wide door swing requires extra space beside cabinetry.
  • Craft Ice is slow enough that a gathering needs planning ahead.

Fit and everyday storage

Installation in a dedicated counter-depth alcove went smoothly, Cathy says, though the doors needed more swing room than expected. However, tall pitchers or oversized platters can require a shelf adjustment. Meanwhile, she uses Door-in-Door for frequently reached items.

Produce and temperature

Specifically, she sets the main compartment to 37°F and the freezer to 0°F. Digital thermometers placed at several spots over a few days suggested steady main shelf temperatures to her, without a worrisome warm spot. However, those readings were not photographed or independently calibrated. In contrast, delicate leafy greens can wilt sooner than she would like.

Water, ice and app

For example, the dispenser handles pitchers, and Cathy reports using cubed, crushed, mini cubes and Craft Ice. She has had no jams or leaks. In addition, ThinQ door alerts and filter reminders are useful, with occasional short connection drops.

Noise, cleaning and repair history

Ice dropping is briefly audible in a quiet kitchen. For example, Cathy wipes the mirror frequently; the stainless frame is easier to keep clean. Furthermore, she reports no malfunction, repair, warranty claim or food loss during approximately eight and a half months. However, her roughly $50–$60 annual filter estimate is unverified.

Who should consider it?

Cathy would buy it again for a household that entertains and values ice variety, Door-in-Door convenience and a counter-depth appearance. On the other hand, someone seeking simpler operation, a lower purchase price or longer preservation of delicate produce may prefer a different design.

Limits of this account: This is a single household’s experience, recorded after months of ownership. Temperatures and running costs were owner estimates or uncalibrated observations. No receipt, thermometer log, or service documentation was independently examined. We will update this page if new owner information is confirmed.
