LG Refrigerator Won't Cool - How to Troubleshoot and Fix

[@Meghan92Foo]

The universe has a special place for people who make repair videos available step by step on KZbin. May your naps rock you 💕

[@AnthonyGutowski]

Great video! This saved me huge money. After walking through several of the suggested checks, it was very helpful to hear the details close to the end of the video about the 5 year warranty for the sealed system and compressor. LG was very responsive after I called the 1-800 number. They scheduled an appointment with a technician who is replacing the evaporator, condenser, and compressor in our unit, with parts and labor covered by the warranty.

It's true. I have two refrigerators. I have a 10 year old LG that just stopped cooling. We paid $2,500 for it. I keep a 45 year old refrigerator (cheap at the time) in the hot garage. That one has never once had an issue and is now doing the work of both refrigerators. Everything is disposable today and we pay premium prices for them.

Two items caught my attention: 1) current is measured in amps and not ohms and 2) please do not measure a fuse using an ohm meter when there is power on the circuit - there is a possibility of damaging the meter. By the way - GREAT videos,I really love them!

[@luisalthaus7249]

I noticed the same error

[@kevinpavitt4288]

I blow the fuse on my fluke like that every time, and they are not cheap! Best way is continuity test tone if you meter has it.

[@naunca]

Turn it off to check fuses, they are not shunts you cannot measure the amperage/current across them. Measure resistance across them with an ohm meter. A continuity check is a type of ohm meter. If you know the correct voltage, you can also measure that on both sides of the fuse.

[@edwardbrown561]

Shut the power down, impedance is the safest and easiest way to determine a circuit break, blown fuses. No need to measure load or power, here at least

Excellent video with great in depth troubleshooting. My LG is a 2011 model, and I was able to complete all the steps outlined here. Looks like I will be looking at a new unit unfortunately, mine just won't freeze anymore, hovers right around 30F and just keeps running all day

[@kenw12]

My appliances are LG with exception of the dryer. I was never confident that the Smart Diagnostics actually worked. In this case Smart Diagnostics was incorrect, indicating everything is OK even though the compressor was not running and the content of my freezer was thawed. There was no indication of a problem on the front panel. But the board LED was flashing 3 times. After 2 years 8 months in service, the compressor had indeed failed. LG showed up ahead of the scheduled time and called me 45 minutes in advance of his arrival. The LG service technician did a great job in my opinion. I know a little about HVAC and as far as I could tell it was done right. Good video. Thanks Ben!

Hey Ben, you do great informative videos. I had an LG that wasn't cooling at all. The current I read at the compressor was .6, but at the con201 I would only get up to 96V, sometimes it made it to 108V. So changed the main pcb board and had same thing. And the LED on the old board and new board both did the same thing, nothing, never lit up at all or flashed any codes.

I had to have my 3 year old LG refrigerators compressor replaced under the class action warranty. Then about 1 1/2 year later the dam thing froze up in the refer area. It was completely solid ice. Having watched the service tech remove the evaporator panel I did it myself. It took 3 hours with a hair dryer to melt it all. Then I just had to do it again yesterday. This video shows how to check if the fans are working. I doubt my fan is working. Now I have to check the thermistor and defrost fuse and take it back apart again. Oh,it took 24 hours for the thing to get back below 40 degrees! The freezer cools fine. My refrigerator was made in 2018 so I doubt if I qualify for any class action repairs this time.

Screw that I would of been so mad and just took it to the dump!

[@Flooddcpets]

Hi Ben, just ran across your informative video as I have a cooling issue with my fairly new LG (similar to the one on right side in your video). Its not cooling (temp around 50F), but the freezer is working fine. Food in freezer are frozen solid. Had a tech came out and wanted $800 to fix it. Indicated that the evaporator fan assembly need replace. I opted out of the repair and order the just fan and replace it myself. I check to make sure the fan is running before closing the unit up. While I have the assembly opened, I also noted the evaporator is running with light frosting/cold (so I assumed it's functioning). After several days past, frig still around 50F. So now I think the tech had mis-diagnosed the issue. Now I am back to square one. In the beginning of your video you shown the issue with just the cabin not cooling, but quickly went through it. You mentioned sensors and thermistors? Could you direct me one how to locate them and test them? Any additional help/suggestions are appreciated. Thank you

[@mike99ca1]

When you open the door where ice maker is you can see an air duct on the side wall going down to the freezer. So basically the freezer air is forced up to the ice maker compartment and then back.

Thanks to you, I was able to narrow the issue down to it being low on refrigerant. I am appreciative of your video becuase I learned alot from it. I will be calling the 1-800 number you provided, though sadly our fridge is out of warranty by 5 months.

[@RCAquadruplex]

Great video! I have a 2010 LG french door model that just started not cooling properly. Following your video I got to the control board. All the fans run and the compressor runs but both compartments are way too warm. I’m seeing the green LED flashing 6 times, so you’re saying that’s likely a bad board. I got the number off my board and it’s EBR73304222 and looks just like your board. I’ve found several replacement boards out there that look like mine but the last two digits of the part number are not 22, but 24. Would those boards work in my unit? I’m thinking it’s just a minor revision from the board in mine, but I can’t find anything anywhere about which control board part numbers are compatible. thanks again for your very clear and concise work!

[@theodorgiosan2570]

I'll stick with my 1935 GE Monitor Top CK-3. I bought it for 200 bucks and just did the door seal a little while ago. No need for complicated automatic defrost. Put a tray in the bottom, set the control to defrost, wait 8-12 hours, it turns itself back to "on" and leaves the water in the tray. I can open the door and see the evaporator and refrigerant lines right there. No fan. No electronics, just a compressor, a control, and a light.

[@onlydan3820]

On the bottom of the fridge there is a flap that separates the cool air going into the compressor and the hot air leaving the compressor. It can get damaged and come off. that could cause some of the issue as well with the unit.

Your coil could be covered with dust as mine is right now. This can cause an overheating issue with the compressor, and result in improper operating temperature in the unit. Use a compressor to clean it out properly. So far compressor has already cooled down just from vacuuming the dust out. This should solve my problem of poor cooling in both the Fridge and Freezer.

Thank you Ben for an excellent video. Your explanations are very clear and understandable. I would like your confirmation on something before I spend money on a board (which I'll buy from you, if you have it). I have an LG LMXS28596D /01 and my freezer is at +10 degrees when it is set at -6. I ran the 3 tests and don't get any LED flashes, and LG ThinQ app doesn't find any problems either. My CON201 connector only has 3 wires, and the highest voltage I read is 128 VAC (the other 2 combinations are around 50 VAC). I have an amp clamp, but I lent it to someone, so I can't get the amperage reading right now, but it seems like the low supply voltage is enough to call the board bad. Is that correct? Is the board covered in that 1st 5 year warranty? (I've had it 4 years). The board # is EAX67860903-1. Thanks in advance for your help!

[@karlenewarner8170]

We have the same pictured on right. We had a 5 years warranty that more than paid for itself. Had techs out here 4 times to get it fixed. Now another year later fridge crapped out.

When it worked loved it.

[@frankkolton1780]

LG compressors known to fail at a high rate on certain models, part of the problem is that they overheat from restricted airflow due to poor design. It's not enough to just pull out the fridge and vacuum the back plate vent, you need to remove the that plate and vacuum around the condenser coils (8:24). Do this every 4 months under normal conditions, do it every 2 months if you have dogs, cats or other furry beasts.

Did you get it fixed? I’ve got the same issue right now .

[@yankeehank1897]

@@caitlinelaine1 Yes, I hired an independent appliance repair guy. The compressor was bad. These crappy LG refrigerators come with a linear compressor that go bad after a few years. The internal cylinder still moves (hence the presence of vibrations), but the seal went bad, so the compressor was not pumping the coolant adequately. LG warranties the compressor part for 10 years, but labor is only warrantied for 5 years. So if you are between 5 years and 10 years, you can contact LG and provide them the name and number of your repair person and they will ship the new compressor to your repair person. I hear the new "universal" compressor is supposed to be better and resolve some of the issues that plagued the original compressor. The installation of the new compressor requires a software update of your refrigerator's circuit board. The repair person (if they have worked on LGs) should be aware of this and should have a device called a jig and the required software. They also sell these jigs on Amazon (LG CJT30000002). Good luck!

[@yankeehank1897]

​@@caitlinelaine1 Yes, I hired an independent repairman. He said it was a bad compressor. LG uses a linear compressor in their refrigerators. I read the internal seal on the original LG linear compressors wear after a few years, so even though the piston is still moving inside the compressor (hence the reason I still feel the vibrations), it is not pumping the coolant adequately. LG has suffered multiple class action lawsuits for these compressors. Mine failed after the class action deadline. LG still warranties the compressor part for 10 years, but only warranties labor for 5 years. If you are between 5 and 10 years, and if you hire your own repair person, you can contact LG's warranty department with the name and number of your repair person. LG will contact your repair person and ship the new compressor to them - mine arrived within a couple of days. The new replacement compressors should come with a big red sticker that says "software Update required". The installation of the new compressor requires a software update of your refrigerator's circuit board. If your tech has worked on LGs before, he should be well aware and he should have a device called a jig to update the software. There are KZbin videos showing this software update process.

LG Refrigerator won't cool - When checking the voltage to the compressor I'm seeing a low voltage (50vac) that climbs past the "good" level and the unit shuts down at about 185vac. Do you think it's the main board, or the compressor loading it? Current at the compressor is at the high end of "good" (0.7 amps) but varies.

Hi Ben, I purchased a new PCB for LG. Watched LG won't cool. Lost $1000 worth of food while away. Smell is horrible and I cant get rid of it. Get E15. Called LG and they want a purchase receipt from HD. Cannot find. Won't they go by the date? Thanks

I own an LG refrigerator (model number GR-B522GLHL) that is experiencing some issues. It's not cooling, and both the fan and compressor are not turning on. When I reset it, the light flashes six times. I took it to the LG service center, and they informed me that the compressor is faulty. They mentioned that the cost of replacing the compressor is higher than the value of the refrigerator itself. Can you provide any assistance with this issue?

If you have an LG Fridge that stops cooling or isn't cooling enough in 2025, and you suspect it's the sealed system/compressor, if less than 10 years old but more than 5, LG has a flat rate repair offer that I just utilized. You get it through the LG site, it was $400 plus tax but includes all parts and labor to fix the unit. They assign a local company to do the work. Be sure they send you a competent tech. My first one rush the job and failed but the second was excellent and now my fridge is cooling once again.

I've seen a GE 27 cu. ft French door without any thru the door dispensers. Water available inside the fridge, ice maker in the freezer. Most places here in Connecticut are asking about $1500. What's your opinion of it?

[@mattrobins3721]

What about the compressor starter relay?

My maytag refrigerator was just moved from 1 location to another. It worked before we unplugged it. Now we moved it and it is showing signs of main board failure. How could this have happened? Just coincidentally finally decided to go after 10 years?

[@pazomega2560]

Must have been an electrical surge upon plugging in. Should not happen, but does happen.

[@ThePrintHouse]

@@pazomega2560 I replaced the capacitors for $20 and it works again!! :D

Does LG have a diagnostic tool to interface with the control board to troubleshoot and make temperature corrections. Would be nice if they could actually see real time what the refrigerator is doing, see compressor speed(inverter) fan speed, thermistor value. The way my technician has been troubleshooting my refrigerator is just throwing parts at it..

[@chaim2094]

HELP: Question, when you run a defrost test , the evaporator fan should stop running? Because my LG refrigerator Model # LFXC24726 when I did a first test the evaporator fan working , second same thing working but the third test not running. What should I do? Fan is bad?

I have an LG LMXC23796M, the issue I am having which wasn't necessarily included in this video. I am not having any activity from the Front UI Display Panel. The reason I am asking is because When Cycling the Test Mode I do not receive a Beep. I assume that the audible beep comes from the Front Display. Could the front display have involvement with the Fridge and Freezer not cooling? All of the other hardware seems to be functioning. The connections from the unit to the Door are good. I just haven't seen any information related to the situation of the front display not cooperating. Also just wondering if the Main Board PCB could be the related problem for the display not functioning and the system not cooling. I don't want to replace just the front display or display PCB when it was obviously the Main Board PCB. Any help would be very helpful and appreciated.
