What is the capacity of the LMXS27626S?
The LG LMXS27626S is a French door, bottom-freezer refrigerator; its exact total capacity is listed in the Specifications section of the LMXS27626S owner's manual. Use that spec when comparing storage space, cabinet fit, and airflow clearances.
In the LMXS27626S owner's manual, look for Installation then Specifications. That section is the model-specific source for:
- Total capacity (cubic feet)
- Electrical requirements (115 VAC, 60 Hz)
- Water pressure range (20 to 120 psi)
- Net weight
- Exterior dimensions
Capacity is only part of the fit and performance picture. For LMXS27626S, the manual also lists these key measurements:
- 35 3/4 in. width
- 35 3/8 in. depth
- 69 3/4 in. height
- 47 5/8 in. depth with door open
| Spec | What it helps with |
|---|---|
| Capacity (cu. ft.) | Comparing usable storage between models |
| Width/height | Confirming cabinet opening fit |
| Depth and door-open depth | Planning aisle clearance and door swing |
| Water pressure range | Preventing ice maker and dispenser flow issues |
Using the capacity from the model-specific manual prevents mix-ups with similar LG model families that look alike but have different cubic-foot ratings. It also keeps your planning consistent with the refrigerator’s published dimensions and installation clearances.
If you are also troubleshooting low ice or slow water flow while checking specs, we recommend reviewing how to prevent water dispenser and ice maker problems.

What is a bottom mount refrigerator?
A bottom-mount refrigerator puts the freezer on the bottom and the fresh-food section up top, so everyday items sit at eye level. Your LG LMXS27626S is a bottom-freezer French door refrigerator, which makes refrigerated groceries easier to reach than frozen foods.
- Fresh food on top: shelves, crispers, and door bins are in the upper compartment.
- Freezer on bottom: frozen foods store in the lower drawer area.
- French doors (on this model): two upper doors open to the refrigerator section.
- Better visibility for daily items: you bend less for milk, produce, and leftovers.
- Freezer access is still simple: pull-out drawers help organize frozen items.
The LMXS27626S design supports common storage zones like adjustable shelves, crisper drawers for produce, and door bins for drinks and condiments. For the exact compartment features and recommended food placement, use the LMXS27626S owner's manual.
| Feature | Bottom mount (like LMXS27626S) | Top mount |
|---|---|---|
| Fresh-food access | Higher, easier reach | Lower, more bending |
| Freezer access | Lower drawer | Upper swing door |
| Best for | Frequent fresh-food use | Frequent freezer use |
Most households open the refrigerator section far more than the freezer. A bottom-mount layout keeps the most-used space (fresh food) in the most comfortable viewing and reaching zone, which helps with organization and reduces door-open time.

What is the most common problem with an LG refrigerator?
For LG refrigerators like model LMXS27626S, the most common customer-reported issue is a cooling failure, often tied to the sealed system and compressor circuit. When cooling drops off, the refrigerator and freezer temperatures rise, ice production slows, and food spoils faster; use the LMXS27626S owner's manual for model-specific checks and operating guidance.
- Refrigerator section is warm but lights and display still work
- Freezer temperature rises and ice maker output drops
- Clicking, buzzing, or repeated start attempts from the compressor area
- Frost buildup or airflow changes that cause uneven temperatures
- Water dispenser or ice issues that show up after cooling becomes unstable
- Confirm settings: Make sure temperature setpoints were not changed accidentally.
- Check airflow: Do not block vents with food packages; poor circulation mimics “not cooling.”
- Clean heat rejection areas: Dust buildup around the condenser area can reduce cooling efficiency.
- Listen for the pattern: Repeated clicking can point to a compressor start problem.
- Rule out water and ice side issues: A clogged filter or low water flow can look like an ice maker failure.
If troubleshooting points to a component failure, these model-matched parts are common suspects:
| Symptom | Common related part | What it affects |
|---|---|---|
| Warm fridge and freezer, compressor struggles to start | Refrigerator compressor overload protector 6750CL0001D | Compressor start and protection |
| Poor cooling efficiency, runs longer than normal | Refrigerator condenser coil ACG73784701 | Heat removal from sealed system |
| Cooling issues plus dispenser/ice complaints | LG kenmore refrigerator water filter ADQ36006101 | Water flow and ice quality (not cooling directly) |
Cooling problems are the highest-impact refrigerator failure because they affect food safety and can cascade into other complaints (ice maker not working, dispenser performance, odor issues). Addressing airflow, condenser cleanliness, and compressor start symptoms early helps prevent extended warm periods.
