Funny you mention that not to long ago I got the LG refrigerator two top
double doors and 2 bottom sliding freezer drawers.
I stood by a working Samsung in the store which was plugged in, almost got it,
noticed it even caused noise on my cell phone
Got lucky it throws out a bit of wide noise but only w/in a few feet of the
unit and since the unit hardly comes on much it seems to be ok RF wise
Just tested around 1-54mhz do a little 2m/440 work but didn't hear anything
thou i didn't sweep
Seems like a ok fridge but not recomending it or not, just sharing my
experience.
