LG Refrigerator Annoying beep: The EASIEST AND QUICKEST WAY to stop the door alarm

[@paulbraun3849]

You should receive a Nobel Prize for this, HardworkandtheTruth! Thank you for solving this for all who suffer from the LG "Smart" buzzer. FYI my top freezer refrigerator model LTCS20220 has a much smaller (3x3 inch) housing on top of the unit (front right) with the same blue buzzer and the same wiring harness plugged into the same orange receptacle. I really wanted to use a hammer for this job, but thank you for showing me the more civilized solution.

[@derriello]

I concur, I’m putting you in for the Medal of Honor.

[@oldschoolwarrior]

The LG agent on the phone actually directed us to this video. You made one person extremely happy today.

[@0kieShep]

3-year-old video and you're still the man! Thank you!

[@sunifred8517]

It's unbelievable how they didn't add an option to turn it off. Not to mention that this warning system is really absurd, how many people are going to leave the door open and forget about it vs keep it open because they're actually using the fridge and yet they have to deal with the beeps knowing damn well that yes, the door is open??!

[@bulkhogan5]

This is what happens when stupid people sue. Guarantee you someone lost a fridge full of groceries and sued LG, so we all get this ridiculous feature now

[@DanHays-u3r]

Thanks so much for this hack. Its unbelievable to me that with all the options and extras available on these new fridges, they still don't trust you to close your own damn door without being bullied into it. When I get home from the grocery store late at night or want to make a middle of the night snack, I would have to repeatedly close and reopen the door before that piercing noise breaks the silence and wakes my daughter. I asked my Dad if he knew of any way to fix it, he said it wasn't possible. He's gonna be so stoked, we're always joking about taking a sledgehammer to it. And the video was short and to the point. A lot of content producers out there need to work on their editing skills, but not this guy. Thanks again!!!!

[@Wasdniak]

You know, it wouldn't be so bad if it had a proximity sensor so that it knew if you were in front of it, or an adjustable window for when it beeped again.

[@gulammuhammedalkibria2728]

Thank you! You should be awarded Nobel peace prize! My fridge did not have the white connector, just removed the red one for now to stop beeping, saved my life

[@benguet]

Just got an LG fridge today and I was immediately annoyed by the door alarm. You saved the day. Thank you.

[@reneemarsee8204]

The same happened to me today! Just received the fridge loading groceries and spent 20 min trying to find a button to turn it off ! Then the Thinq app didn’t have a way either!🙈. Finally found this video ! I’ll be doing this shortly

[@forearmshiver8819]

Thank You Sir!! With your video, It is with GREAT PLEASURE that one of the most annoying sounds you can hear is now SILENT!!!! Disconnected in a matter of minutes.

[@rebeccaboehm7913]

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!! You just saved our sanity! Ours was even beeping because of too much stuff in the door. Your instructions were so easy my husband went outside for a few minutes and was shocked when he came and I had done it myself!! Thank you again!!!

[@nancypraetorius720]

Thank you so very much for posting this video. Our LG is a little older than the one you have, but the alarm is loud enough to wake the dead. Thanks again for taking the time to help folks.

[@ideapatch]

Dude might have just saved my life! Model LRFDS3016D was beeping all night last two nights in a row. No sleep. About to go crazy! Nothing blocking door sensors. The sensors are probably just going bad. Thanks to your video now we have peace and quiet!

[@raven-galaxy]

Been putting up with that annoying beeping alarm for a few months now off and on every single day. LG was no help nor were any articles and my family was reserved to forcibly press the door each time (kids & elder father ain't doing that!) or buy a new fridge. You saved the day with this video brother, thank you! It's almost Xmas and if not hearing this damn thing beep is my only gift, consider me happy!!! 😂

[@patriciabutcher5281]

You have saved me from jamming chopsticks into my ears. GOD BLESS YOU!! That thing has been haunting me for years. Everytime I clean my frig, it's a mad dash to take a quick wipe before the rotten, annoying idiot buzzer goes off. It takes me hours to clean the interior because of this. LG do better in the name of sanity!!!

[@csabafarkas1656]

Dear sir. THANK you for saving mental life of me, my wife, son, daughter and our dog! Our fridge started beeping every 25 seconds even when closed without an obvious reason but thanks to you (even though we have a different LG fridge) we can live normally again 🙂God bless you! 🙏

[@dimitaraleksandrov6381]

I have and older refrigerator, different make and model, however followed your advice to shut that annoying alarm. Will call the technicians first thing in the morning. Thank you for uploading!!

[@taryncorey3666]

Thanks for making a video about this! The alarm of letting us know we are in our fridge too long is so annoying lol!

[@Herblatz]

Thank you!!!!! We have been traumatized by incessant useless beeping periodically since our LG was only a year old. Our owners manual claims the beep cannot be disabled. However, thanks to your video, although our model is different from yours, I found a small panel on top of the fridge, unscrewed it, and low and behold, there was a blue beeper just like yours. We only had the LH cable, but I disconnected it, and then cautiously experimented by opening the door to remove some food, and then I waited . . . no beeps! My son, especially, could not tune out the warning beeps at their 30 sec. intervals (just far enough apart to not be construed by the brain as "white noise") and he was about to drive the rest of us insane along with him. And, as someone else pointed out, your explanation to just unplug the cable negated my need for Plan B, which was a hammer! Meanwhile, the poor fridge door has more than its fair share of dents, since kicking the door on the lower right, about a foot above the floor, has been the only occasionally successful method of stopping the beeps in the past. Bless you!

[@anibaldiaz8261]

Thank you!!! Saved my life!!! Happy wife happy life and that beeping was killing her

[@bonitaluna1127]

Your a genius!! I love my new fridge however that stupid door chime was just too damm annoying. Thank you for your assistance in permanently quieting this issue!! Your the best

[@midas8974]

Thank you man you honestly saved me so much time I’ve been troubleshooting for so long until I came across your video and the beeping sound finally stopped!

[@Taranakicrafts]

Unfortunately this didn’t work with our LG model. We did managed to stop the beeping by removing the panel above the electronic display on the door, this gives you access to remove the whole panel. At the top is a small connector, turn the power off to fridge first and disconnect the wires. On the back of the circuit board is the door alarm, we popped off the alarm cover which made the connection causing the beeping. Now reconnect the wires and return the panel into the door. Now turn the power back on and hopefully your beeping has stopped like ours did. Hope this helps 😊.

[@joncenter2801]

Awesome! Thanks for figuring that out and why did it take me so long to find your solution online? Does anyone - even one person - like this feature? Did focus groups or product development teams at LG come back saying - please make sure that you can never turn off the door alarm - even when you are loading bags worth of groceries or cleaning out the fridge or deciding what snack to eat - because people love to hear a beeping sound every minute. So relaxing. Really a $3000 fridge that beeps every minute forever and can’t be turned off!?!?? Seriously? Unplugging the wired plugs was much more difficult for me though. I found it easier to remove the entire small board with the alarm in it, then unclip the white plugs and then clip the board back in. Forever grateful! Will think of you every time my fridge is open and is completely silent :)

[@SilviaSchulze-u6q]

Thank you thank you thank you…I got a different LG model but seeing this video encouraged me searching for the beeper. THANK YOU

[@daniellecremer8607]

THANK YOU!! This has been driving me crazy since the moment I bought it

[@anthonysartori5072]

God bless you and your family. I can’t tell you how grateful my wife and I are for this video.

[@HardworkandtheTruth]

You are so kind

[@Trey-r8t]

You're a Gentleman and a scholar Sir. The fact that you can only change sounds and not disable is a huge fail on LG. Calling it a "safety feature" is patronizing to their consumers.

[@ep6479]

Thank you so much for saving my sanity. I got the cheaper Instaview but the board on top of the fridge is the same as yours. Thanks again!!

[@HardworkandtheTruth]

Glad I could help!

[@pagelarson7084]

I LOVE YOU!!!! No one else could help online, KZbin, service calls. I was afraid to try this but I did it!!! Your voice is very calming. Thank you so much!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@justinmarmon2372]

You’re an amazing man and a gift to society... Thank you!

[@Kimmykimballz]

Now if i could get these dang smoke alarms to stop beeping every 7 minutes 😂

[@lioneljuarez2660]

Oh wow Thank you for the information I’m surprised that there’s not such an easier way to do that. This is an old school way to do it in the sense that you have to plug something in order to disable it. It reminds me of how you do if you do not want your car stolen it’s still or you take away the engine fuse under the hood and then nobody can steal it

[@MrGaky]

God bless you my man, tried going to the back of the fridge, tried every God damn cable never thought it was on the top, couldn't sleep it broke in the middle in the night. Cant give you enough likes

[@MrGaky]

I have an older model so just i unplug the whole goddamn smart screen computer thingy, damn this was driving me crazy

[@johnbastawrous5736]

Major design flaw! Thank you so much for posting this video. I just did it and it was super simple!

[@J.JeffCochran]

Thank you so much,=. Can't believe they engineered it with no control panel disable. My last LG had one. Drove us crazy until we followed this video. I unplugged both connectors and it seems fine

[@CGarteezt]

Woot! ..many thanks! I installed the app (thinking that i could control it from there - but nope!?!) ..did an online search - and voila! Cheers!! Goodbye to the annoying beep!!

[@denisecunningham291]

Thank you sooooo much! We are very appreciative of you!!

[@HardworkandtheTruth]

You are so welcome!

[@dawnv1577]

I just had my beautiful new LG french door refrigerator installed a few hours ago, and I already hate it due to this ridiculous nonstop beeping (after open only 20 seconds!) as I'm trying to stock it up! $2k and I already wish I chose differently. Hopefully your fix will work for me 2moro, or its going back!! (PS their cust svc rep told me to "just close the door and it will stop" WOW!?!) Thank you in advance for your fix, fingers crossed!

[@arrowjoy8747]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 wonderful. LG Should ad this to there service manual. This is the first thing that’s been helpful.

How do I remove the noise when it’s coming from ice maker area?

[@mallorycampbell26]

what Aaron said!

[@billdenman8575]

You are awesome for posting this!!! I was so excited and hopeful this would work on my LG Fridge that's a similar model (LFCC22426S) but it didn't. If anyone has figured out how to disable the alarm on my model, please let me know! It drives my dog nuts!

[@AntoninusPius17]

So are you saying you removed the cables and it still beeped?

[@vanessaroxas4273]

Sir, you're a giant among men. 1st literally: because when the video started I thought, "that's not my fridge, that's like a mini fridge." 2nd: THANK YOU!

[@karisbrock]

Thank you! My warranty did not cover this simple fix😂

[@tr278]

For anyone still searching for a solution after this method was unsuccessful… just to the left of where the guy in the video is unplugging the cords there is another long computer chip. On that computer chip on the right hand side there is a small round speaker covered in a black housing. The housing is approximately the size of a nickel(USD) and about .25inch thick. Grab that housing and pull it off. It comes off very easily and the speaker will pop off with the cover. The speaker can NOT be reattached so If you plan on restoring it you’ll have to buy a new speaker housing or know how to solder the speaker wires back together.

[@jimb8738]

His way might be the best option. Thataway you can plug it back in if, say, you're going to sell the fridge or donate it to someone. But thanks for the extra bit of info.

[@edwardmireles6630]

THANK YOU! I was about to go POSTAL!

[@puddinpak]

Ugh! I don’t want to disable it, but extend the time! Like maybe go off in 5 minutes in case I really do forget to close it all the way! I need more than 30 seconds to think!

[@kellycannon9976]

This! 5 minutes is absolutely reasonable! Or maybe have the option to only notify you via the app.

[@CarsalyAnn]

You. Are. The. Best! You just saved me from smashing my new-ish fridge with a hammer in an overstimulated rage! 😂

That noise makes me want to kick a crying baby down the stairs. You are THE MAN

[@NathansChannel0406]

Call for service from LG. They just need to check the magnets on the top not lose. If it’s is then they just need to make it stable and it will work.

[@Mel0822]

Oh mylanta you totally just saved my inlaws like 1800 bucks cuz I'm like -40 seconds from smashing it!! 🤣🤣 Thanks so much!!

[@Neilikins]

LG GR-P157NIS - Side by Side Refrigerator with Indoor Ice Maker Buzzer Sound Mute mode Will set the buzzer/beep/error/ding/alarm sound to "off" Press and hold the "Express FRZ" button for more than 5 seconds (you will hear a beep, the final beep!), and Mute mode it active until the next reset. You can unmute with another 5 second press on the "Express FRZ" button.

[@deadfx213]

I can’t thank you enough. My fridge was about to be thrown out the window! Ha!

[@JustynWorrell]

Thank you, I will try this today. I just got this and LG support was no help, they keep telling me to press the Alarm button, but there is no Alarm button on my freeking model.

[@christophercondrat5371]

Yeah, the online guides that tell us to do this are useless. On mine there is some sort of way to activate a "Sabbath" mode or something that tells it to shut up, but it's temporary and turns off all the lights, icons, and sounds. Not helpful for this.

[@AncientHippie]

First thanks! So after 2 years have you noticed anything else affected by unplugging that? I just got an LG refrigerator and spend OVER 1 hr on the phone with them. No resolution. They had me under that cap and they ID'd a different connection, it was wrong. So I unplugged both of the connections on that buzzer board determined the same plug as you worked in shutting it off. But I didn't leave it unplugged because I didn't know if it would affect anything else. Then I found your video and felt better about my observation.

[@therideneverends1697]

Thank you for what youve done, after a week of inceasing ringing i was about to commit acts of violence against my refrigeration unit

[@emrekarakus1864]

You are the real hero

[@christophercondrat5371]

Thank you for posting this. The only other guides I could find were to press some sort of Alarm/Lock button that my lower-end model does not have. Though this pointed me in the right direction, it didn't solve the problem. After locating the "Smart Buzzer" board, and disconnecting the connector, to my horror I heard the beeping once again! It was coming from yet another buzzer attached to the front circuit board. What is that "Smart Buzzer" even for? I then attempted to disconnect the two magnetic sensors from the door. No help. Then I tried taping magnets to the sensors after removing them from the housing. The latter worked, but this "smart" refrigerator uses those sensors to turn on the refrigerator light! So I can't just disable the door sensors. I think I'll see if I can disable the front buzzer like someone else has mentioned, or desolder it.

[@christophercondrat5371]

Update: I just desoldered the buzzer from the board and now sweet, sweet silence.

[@efenell5912]

Thank you sir, you saved my marriage!

[@marianati2218]

To LG Door alarm buzzer is good if you forgot to close the door BUT should have an easy off switch especially when it's time to clean the fridge.

[@TyTyGolz]

Not All Heroes Wear Capes!

[@DomHarness]

Sadly this doesn't work on m new LG fridge, the buzzer is coming from a different location soldered to the motherboard. I did find putting a small piece of dynamat over the hole made it a lot quieter and a lot more bearable though. I've also found that if you put a magnet next to the door you can "trick" it into thinking the door is closed, sadly this also means the lights will not turn on either. Probably similar to "Sabbath Mode" but it won't turn off after 96 hours. I'm a techy, and I've about had it with all the new appliances... they are horrible, more problems then features that I don't use.

[@tr278]

If you’re still looking for a solution, there is a small round speaker housing (about the size of a US nickel and about .25 thick and if you pop it off the speaker will come off with it and no more beeping! In this guys video you can see the chip he’s working on. It’s the same on the newer fridges.. but look off to the left of that board and you will see a longer board with more crap on it. On the right hand side of that board you’ll find the little round black speaker housing. Literally just grab it and pull. The cover will pop off and the speaker comes off with it.

[@Jizzi99]

Bro your a God sent!!!!!! Thank You!!!!!!

[@kmelo720]

Dude… You are my hero!!! 🙌🏻👏🏻

[@HardworkandtheTruth]

Glad I could help!

[@sak116]

Great solution. Much appreciated. Our annoying beeping is gone. Question though - after removing the offending part, it appears that we have lost ice making capability. Looking at the troubleshooting section of the manual, it says that ice won't be dispensed if a door (including the refrigerator) is left open. Has anyone else lost ice making capability as a result of this solution, and if so, what is the fix?

[@ToddDolce]

Great video! Hey,..did you unplug the fridge before doing that or is that not necessarily required for this task? I'm assuming my LFXS26973S model has a similar looking wire connection and buzzer even though mine has just a small housing that is placed over a smaller portion of the left and right doors and not a long housing that runs all the way across like yours. I'm assuming the right housing is the one on my model that hides the buzzer since that also is the side that has the wifi icon nearest to it.

[@HardworkandtheTruth]
