It was a job in itself to clear my apt so my frig had room to be pulled out. But pull it out I did, and--dustpan & brush in hand--I pulled its plug. Then I got to cleaning the dust bunnies off the floor, as well as the dust off the frig, its cords, the walls, and ran a wet cloth on the floor. Man did it pick up dirt! Fortunately there were no dead mice. OK so now that my 5 minutes had passed, I plugged it back in. And, voila! The machine went to town working again. Whoo hoo! Thanks for repair 'splaining BlvdHome!

[@patricialamb2912]

Thanks, Blake! You saved us a service call. We unplugged the fridge and it came back on.

[@nirmalmahrra2207]

Thankyou for the instructions brother. I cleaned the back, under and all vents. switch on and fridge started. God bless you.

​@@BoulevardHomehello my refrigerator keep shutting down then I have to turn it off then turn it on but it only stays on for a few hours then stopped working again any suggestions

[@floweringplumb4678]

Hi Thank you for the information in the video. My Maytag was not cooling in the refrigerator and the freezer sections. I followed your recommendations. I unplugged the refrigerator for 5 minutes and I think that resetting the computer board may have been enough for a positive response as the sound from the fans running could be heard. Had to listen closely as they are quiet but before the reset there was absolute silence. I will be giving time for the cooling process to take hold. Just in case, I have a call into the appliance repair service. Selling house and the appliances have to be in working order so no time to waste.

[@showandgo]

Old is gold, while new fridge or any appliances with too many functions are garbage. I have 20 year fridge in my garage working fine in harsh conditions, meanwhile a 4 years fridge with all the bells and whistles is struggling to keep it cool. But great video that k you.

[@KEEVVY]

SERVICE RECOMANDATION: Let it defrost 1-2days, you need a second fridge but it works, this is for all new models, specialy no frost ones, if freezer is working but fridge temps are up, this might save a trip to service, also for summer better set temps 4 , -19

[@amandagrose5215]

Thank u you just help us fix for fridge for free thank u

[@Glo2GoSprayTan_danielle]

I just unplugged mine for 2 days and it works. Thank goodness because I didn’t have money to buy a new one.

[@KEEVVY]

@@Glo2GoSprayTan_danielle My Liebherr already out of warranty last year, since the service guy came worked until this summer, than try defrost it for half a day and didn't work, so had to move again everything in another fridge & leave it for ~2 days with all doors open, working ok now, but it's very annoying for some one that doesn't have a second freezer to move the food.

[@Glo2GoSprayTan_danielle]

@@KEEVVY please keep me updated I don’t know how the freezer works. The fridge is reading 58 now. When I unplugged it for a day ( after all my food was ruined in the fridge) it worked perfectly for like a week.

What about the compressor relay? That would be something to definitely check.

[@Itzskillz8]

Does the fridge not work without pressurized water from the water line?

[@freddiev125]

Great info.!! I’m glad that now I can check the basics myself before calling the tech.. thanks a lot ! 👍

[@sylviacarlson3561]

This was very helpful. I put my hand on two of the vents in my LG fridge (located on the left hand side) and the top one I don't feel any air coming out of, the bottom one has very cool air. My refrigerator is not cooling properly. I've done all that you suggested too. Any more suggestions? I have discovered that very few companies repair LG refrigerators. Oh! Joy! I called LG and they gave me a few to call that are far away from my home. I wish it were easier.

[@lapis9749]

I despise my LG refrigerator. Ice machine broke within a year. Compressor broke within 3&1/2 years. Under warranty however there was only one repair shop that serviced that warranty. Appointments for just looking at it were two weeks out. Then it would be another two weeks before they actually repaired it. Had to pay $380 out of pocket so I didn’t have to wait a MONTH to have my fridge fixed. I will never buy anything, especially appliances, with the LG brand on it again. Plus the damn sales man at the store sold me one too big for my space for it and I couldn’t exchange it without paying MORE for a smaller fridge.🤬 Edit: LG also gave me two listings that were repair shops two or more hours away, obviously they don’t service my area and basically laughed at me when I called. Edit #2: and yes I’m here looking for solutions to my fridge and freezer not cooling enough. Four years since the compressor was replaced.

[@coleadero39]

Try to changed #1 the thermostat, its located behind the back pannel #2 check the heat element me sure it has conduit. Test them with a voltmeter you can get one at harborfright, a 20 voltmeter bucks will do it, set it to omms , it should drop down to 0.0 that means it has conduit. Same thing with the thermostat. It the thermostat works but its not defrosting its because the heater element its broken, the thermostat it will tell the heater element to Start defrosting, when the element its good but the thermostat isn't working is not sending signal to the heater element usually happens every 6 hours the defrosting cycle, when is not defrosting the coil get clogged of frost blocking the air flow to chill the entire frege, good luck hope this will help you to fix the problem. A good thing is that the freezer works so thats a plus.

[@mark98115]

@lapis9749, Just FYI, LG's old name was Gold Star. Those old enough to remember the 1980s and early 1990s will remember that name. Gold Star was one of the few Asian companies that sold low quality electronics in the USA. Their quality is much better today but their customer service is still poor. Samsung is not any better.

I have a Whirlpool Gold Series and my problem is that it stops cooling. I unplugged it from the wall for 30 seconds and plugged it back. Furthermore, I can hear the compressor kicking in after that, and it will start cooling for about 24-36 hours. Then I see water dripping out of my ice door as the ice has started melting again. Will it be the compressor switch?

Hi!! My Samsun fridge freezer, which is at the bottom, works from time to time. Now it stopped working but I can hear a fan running on top.

Very good video. Unfortunately for us we have a lot of condensation in the fridge, (which is only one week old) now water is dripping on the food. It would happen on the weekend as we live in an apartment. So since its technically not my fridge I can't go tampering with anything. But I did try turning it on and off for now.

My fridge-freezer ( free frost) isn’t working well. It still produces some cold, but it doesn’t look right, especially because the freezer does not freeze even a small tray of ice cubes. Also, the fridge has a long time gap when it becomes quiet (2 hours or so). Please have any suggestions about how to fix the problem?

[@shaileshparikh6920]

I have a kenmore 106 515 691 01 model refrigerator. Recently, the technician replaced REF DEFROST TIMER SWITCH. And, it seemed to work, but, I noticed that on the refrigerator side [the freezer side works perfectly], i do not feel any air coming of the bottom vent. Hence, refrigerator side does not seem to work optimal. Any thoughts on how to remedy it. Thank you.

[@joshcook1493]

I have the exact same one as in your video, how many circulation fans does it have? Mine isn’t cooling in the top. I also think it’s icing up behind the inside wall. Would the fans not working correctly cause it to ice up?

[@wadeanderson7959]

I have an Midea side by side and I may overshoot the process and lose money by changing the circuit boards. I changed one and that wasn’t it, today i got the main circuit and that didn’t make a difference as well. The inside fan is working but I believe my compressor is inop. The unit is 6 months old and I assume it’s not the compressor. Just to think about it, the fan at the compressor doesn’t turn on. The compressor isn’t hot and tomorrow I will check if the lines are leaking. Im so frustrated with this fridge and I don’t want to dish out more money to where it’s cheaper to buy a used unit

I''m afraid all the frig food will spoil. Any ideas before we call repairman? The vents in the back of the unit are clean and there's not much on the shelves.

Hi does the water filter inside the fridge suppose to have water in it and how often is it suppose to change

[@BoulevardHome]

It's recommended to change your water filter every 6 months or so, but it really depends on how often the dispenser is being used. 6 months might be too often for a 1-2 person household, but too infrequent for a larger family. Keep in mind most refrigerators will have an indicator light come on when you should change the filter, but they are just on a timer.
