LG refrigerator model number structure differs based on the region in question. For instance, the structure used for Australia differs from the North American one. I will take you through the model number features used in the US and Canada.
This information is vital if you intend to buy an LG fridge. This model number captures all the basic information about the refrigerator. It also determines the size.
Proper interpretation helps you know the type of fridge. It also helps with fridge door numbers, depth, volume in cubic feet, and the color of the fridge.
I will explain this information further. Note that the model number will not say the year of manufacturing. This info is in the serial number.
Finding the LG Refrigerator Model Number
All vital information about your LG fridge is on the inside. This includes the serial number and model number. Find these details on the side of the fridge. In some instances, it is on the fridge door.
You can also find the model and serial number details outside the fridge. Check the side for this information
The outside information is available in the barcode form. There are two barcodes, one for the serial number and the other for the model number.
We find the model and serial numbers under these two barcodes.
Note that this is a packaging sticker meant for barcode scanner reading. It is often used by the company when packing the fridges for delivery.
