Fix the LG fridge in 15 min with parts cost less than $30

[@jasonramsingh9947]

Try this to get the freezer working again. I have an LG Top-Bottom Fridge that was having the same trouble. Compressor and exterior fan were working fine but the freezer was not cooling. I removed the front interior trim of the freezer and saw that the evaporator fan was not working. I carefully unscrewed it from the housing frame behind the trim and checked the resistance and continuity on the wire connector which were excellent. Now I've seen repairmen who would just tell you to replace the fan but at that time of day that was not an option. Having done this before with a standing fan, I realised that all this fan wanted was a cleaning and lubricating of the magnets and impeller respectively. Eventually over time with these two there is a build up of dirt, and rust in some cases, which must be cleaned and so here is where WD 40 is your best friend. I used some of this on a paper napkin to wipe the two surfaces after which I used some treadmill silicone oil, you can use something similar, on the curved surface of the impeller as well as the shaft and end joint housing. I reinstalled the evap fan and plugged it in. Not only did it spin, but it spun faster than before. Also, make sure you clean the plastic fan blade which should just pop off the impeller shaft. I placed mine under the faucet and used some dishwashing soap. Hope this tip helps someone to save some time and money. 😀

Hi there, thank you very much for the insightful video. What is the initial problem you encountered if you have a bad relay and temperature sensor? Is the refrigerator not getting cold? My freezer seems to be not cooling enough. It is going around 25 f, not anything more. Please advise if you have any tipsm. Thanks

Hi, I'm experiencing the same as you are and wanted to ask you if you solved the problem with your refrigerator.

@@STEVE_519, I was able to clean the evaporative coil and let the freezer defrosted for one whole day. It went back to normal temperature afterward. But do keep in mind that the freezer does go back up once in a while to do a defrost cycle, and that is when I can't hear the compressor being on. Anyway, I would suggest cleaning the coil in the back as much as you can and see if it helps with the temperature.

@derekc6713 I cleaned the coils and replaced the relay starter and now I'm dealing with the fridge tripping the circuit now. From what I understand, it's tripping due to the compressor being bad. Thanks for answering back. I appreciate your time.

@@STEVE_519, no problem, very likely the compressor is bad if it is tripping the circuit breaker. But I would also check the fan to see if it is continuously running.

It will be more helpful if you can help us to confirm it is a relay problem first before we are taking it apart to replace it.

Can you please tell where you bought the part ?

[@withwm2427]

I got it from ultimateappliancesparts.com/, and any local fridge appliance part company should carry them

I changed the part but it only cools to about 50f in the freezer

This repair only possible if compressor is not damaged
