"French door" refrigerators built by LG (and some others) have a 3rd switch in the freezer compartment. All three switches must be closed to turn the upper refrigerator lights off. Unfortunately the freezer switch does not cause the door alarm to annunciate. The result is a sealed upper containment area with a "Kenmore EZ Bake oven affect" on the upper shelf!
The freezer door is prone to be left open especially by children and guests who tend to push it shut with their foot and/or expect it to coast to the fully closed position.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS IS A SUBSTANDARD AND UNSAFE PRODUCT DESIGN SINCE IT LEAD TO FOOD POISONING AND/OR A FIRE.
IMHO this warrants a product recall for safety reasons. Canadian Standards Association has been notified and will be re-evaluating these products which may require recertification. In the meantime.... buyer beware!

the switches do not shut off the lights
the light was on and had melted the cover and the light bulb socket was black meaning we caught it just in time before a fire started. I bought mine at appliance dirrect and from day one had problems I wanted them to take it back if there is any class action going on count me in rosa thomas 407 249 0046
