Now that I have my Sears version of this fridge, I must say that I do like it’s water dispenser, especially the lighting.  There are two light modes and I like the auto setting.  There’s a blue LED glow when the dispenser is not in use and when in use, a white light illuminates the area for your cup.  Looks great.

That’s because it’s made by Whirlpool and not LG, someone got this story wrong.
The computer on the dispenser is very similar to the Whirlpool Gold computer and dispenser.  Much of the styling is the same as on KitchenAid models also made by whirlpool.   

Thanks but I’m not a Discover card holder.  I did use a Sears card and saved 5% on Kenmore appliances.  Not as good but better than nothing. 

Good point.  For us, the water dispenser wasn’t a big deal.  It was the fruit and vegetable drawer configuration.  We like the bigger, 2-drawer Kenmore over the 3-drawer LG.

Here’s pic of the Kenmore from the on-line video from the Kenmore web site:

I have only seen the LG unit in person a month ago. Since you have seen both, which version do you prefer? The one difference I can tell between the water dispensers is that on the LG, you have to press the top peddle and hold the cup with your hand, but on the Kenmore there is an ice/water button you have to press first and then use the single paddle below it so the cup can rest on the lower dip-pan. Just based on that, the water/ice dispenser on the Kenmore may be the more user-friendly version.

Thanks again! I actually found pics that I took of the water/ice dispensers and updated my post with your info.

Here’s the dispenser on the LG:

I didn’t really notice drastic differences. I might have taken pictures but
didn’t see the differences. I’ll look through my pics.
