What is a bottom mount refrigerator?
A bottom mount refrigerator is a refrigerator design where the fresh-food section is on top and the freezer is in a lower drawer. On the LG LRMXS2806S, this layout keeps everyday refrigerated items at eye level while frozen foods stay below; see the LRMXS2806S user manual for the model’s compartment overview.
How a bottom mount layout works on the LG LRMXS2806S
Most bottom mount units (including this LG French door style) are organized like this:
- Top section: refrigerator compartment for fresh foods
- Bottom section: freezer compartment in a pull-out drawer
- Door storage: bins for frequently used items
- Optional features by version: in-door ice, dispenser, specialty drawers
Why many people prefer bottom mount refrigerators
This design is popular because it prioritizes the items you typically access most.
- Less bending for fresh foods (produce, dairy, leftovers)
- Wider refrigerator shelves for platters and groceries
- Freezer drawer can hold bulky frozen items more efficiently
- French door models can reduce cold-air loss when opening one door
Quick comparison: bottom mount vs. top mount
| Feature | Bottom mount (like LRMXS2806S) | Top mount |
|---|---|---|
| Fresh food access | Eye level | Lower, more bending |
| Freezer access | Lower drawer | Eye level |
| Typical use case | Fresh food used most | Freezer used most |
Why it matters
Choosing a bottom mount refrigerator affects daily convenience, kitchen ergonomics, and how you organize food. If you reach into the refrigerator far more often than the freezer, bottom mount designs usually feel easier to live with.

How to remove bottom shelf LG refrigerator?
On the LG LRMXS2806S refrigerator, the bottom (lowest) refrigerator shelf removes by unloading it, tilting the front edge up, lifting the shelf straight up to unhook it, then sliding it out. Use extra care because the glass shelf is heavy.
Steps to remove the bottom refrigerator shelf
- Remove all food and bins sitting on the shelf.
- Open both French doors fully for clearance.
- Grip the shelf with both hands near the front corners.
- Tilt the front of the shelf upward.
- Lift straight up to release the rear hooks from the side slots.
- Slide the shelf out of the compartment.
If the shelf will not come out
Sometimes the shelf is blocked by the crisper cover, Glide‘N’Serve drawer, or door bins.
- Check that the shelf is not catching on the side wall slots.
- Raise the front a bit higher; the rear hooks must clear the slots.
- If needed, remove the crisper drawers first so you can lift and angle the shelf more easily.
- Do not force the glass; sudden twisting can crack it.
Quick comparison: shelf vs. door bin removal
| Item | Typical removal motion | Common “stuck” cause |
|---|---|---|
| Refrigerator shelf | Tilt up, lift up, slide out | Rear hooks still engaged in slots |
| Door bin | Lift up, pull straight out | Bin not lifted high enough to clear supports |
Why it matters
Removing the shelf the right way prevents broken glass, damaged shelf supports, and door liner scratches, and it makes cleaning spills and accessing the crisper area much easier.

Are LG stainless steel refrigerators magnetic?
Many LG stainless steel refrigerators can be magnetic, but it depends on the exact door material and finish used on that specific model. For LG model LRMXS2806S, magnet strength can vary by door area, so the most reliable check is a quick magnet test on the door and side panels.
What to expect on LG LRMXS2806S
Even when a refrigerator is described as “stainless steel,” the exterior can be a stainless panel over other materials, or a coated finish. That can change whether magnets stick well.
Common outcomes:
- Magnets stick well to the door and side panels.
- Magnets stick weakly (they slide down or only hold light items).
- Magnets stick to the sides but not the doors (or vice versa).
- Magnets stick in some spots but not others (handles and trim areas often differ).
For model-specific feature and care details, use the LRMXS2806S owner's manual.
Quick at-home magnet test (best method)
Use a small, strong magnet (like a souvenir magnet) and test these areas:
- Upper left door panel
- Upper right door panel
- Freezer drawer front
- Side panel near the front edge
- Side panel near the back edge
If it sticks firmly in at least one area, you can usually use lightweight magnets, clips, or magnetic notepads there.
Why it matters
If magnets do not stick (or stick weakly), it is normal for that finish and not a defect. Knowing this helps you avoid scratches from sliding magnets and prevents items from falling.
If you need a part while you are checking the exterior
If you are also dealing with odors or airflow concerns while using the unit, the LG refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408 is a common maintenance item for this model family.
| Test result | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Strong hold | Magnetic stainless or magnetic backing | Use standard magnets |
| Weak hold | Thin panel or coated finish | Use stronger magnets or lighter items |
| No hold | Non-magnetic stainless or non-metal skin | Use non-magnetic hooks/adhesives |
