The XYL has been doing research on a new refrigerator for our  new place in 
KH6.  She checks out the owners comments which have been  posted on line 
about the various ones she is interested in.  She  finally settled on an LG 
one but found one very unusual negative comment about  it.
 
The owner (who is a ham) said the refrigerator caused RFI  when the 
compressor turned on.  He apparently tried to rectify the problem  but was forced 
to take it back since he was not able to "fix" it.
 
The LG model number is RF26HFENDSR, which is a 25.5 cu ft , French  door 
model.
 
Obviously this is a deal breaker for us.  Does anyone out  there own an LG 
refrigerator which has caused them RFI?  Or for that  matter, anyone who has 
had any RFI problems from any other refrigerator.   This is a first for me 
and I have never heard of this problem before...TV RFI  yes, but a fridge?
