LG Refrigerator error 22 troubleshooting repair instructions Bad compressor relay fix

[@hjlee303]

I got code 22 with the same refrigerator as yours. So I will follow your guide and get the right relay to see if it works. I think it will. Thanks a lot.

[@adambecker3104]

Very Helpful. My Compressor was running but no cold air. LG has a known issue with their compressors being trash. A repair guy told me that if you get 5 years out of an LG you've done alright. He also recommended cutting my losses and getting away from LG. I bought a Whirlpool because they have service available in my area. LG and Samsung do not have service in my area. Oh, and I was 6 months past my 5 year warranty. So that means I am on the hook for labor. They cover compressor costs. After days of troubleshooting and escalating my case, we just went ahead and bought a new fridge. However, LG came back and said they would cover parts & labor for me as a 1 time assist. So now, I have a really expensive garage fridge in my future. LOL. Whatever. Anyways, thanks for the video.

[@Ashroyer86]

If you get 5 years out of any modern appliance you've done alright. That's what he should have told you. Nonetheless their fridges and dishwashers are junk.

French door LG its a good fridge with a defective compressor, IT last about 5 years. IT DOESN'T HAVE A RELAY THERE, LIKE THE OLDER FRIDGES, ITS JUST A THERMAL AUTO FUSE, HAS AN INVERTER IN THE BOARD THAT CONTROLS THE COMPRESSOR, I INSTALLED ABOUT 1000 COMPRESSORS LIKE THIS.

Hey quick question did it work? Because my always gives 22 in the test mode then if I hit it again I get 33

[@Soprano0913]

@Rayrock Relay replacement didn't work. I spoke with LG code 22 doesn't have a meaning... it that is just a default number.... if you look up on LG website there are many models that had defective compressors. There was a class Acton lawsuit. This lawsuit had LG replace compressors at no cost for parts or labor as long as the unit is less that 5 years old. Repair will be warranties for that time period also. I had mine repaired works great.

So, thank you for the video. We have gone through the tests. On the front of the fridge reports 22. - 22, so I am assuming it is the relay like your own. What is that part #? Where do you go to obtain that part? We live in Baja Sur, MX - about an hour north of Cabo San Lucas. We find ourselves fixing our appliances when necessary. Seems necessary. Thank you so much.

How do you like the LG fridge? Ihave mine, French door, for 8 years. Replaced compressor on 2nd year. Now temperature is off at both freezer n fridge, -20 and 40. Debating if I should get a new one or fix. LG is not as reliable as Kitchenaid which runs for 30 years non stop in my garage.

[@incognito-yj4gu]

First feel the compressor. If it is running the relay is not the problem. There are multiple causes for this problem. The relay is probably the easiest and cheapest.

[@Ch4rlie111]

I had a "CL E" code on my LG French door. I cleaned rear door and filter itself. Code has gone, hopefully that was the issue. I have read that this code is for leaked issues but I hope was just dust on filter and rear door.

[@williamhoward9493]

Error 22 is common but it doesn't mean it is the relay. Usually, it is the PCB board that needs to be replaced.

[@geraldhernandez-om2fh]

Where can you buy a board?

[@nigeldonaldson1647]

I'm finding that although there is power going through my fridge (the lights are on inside) I'm NOT hearing any motors or whirring sounds from it it just seems dead, I may have left the door open by mistake for some hours, what could be wrong? ps my fridge is older & does not have an on board computer

[@Supanova70]

also had code 22 but the board was no good. Test for 200vac at 2 pins to the right on con1 for compressor. Unplugged connector/ after pressing test button once. It ramps up to 118vac not enough. Also no led indicator lights on board. If you have a 22 you need to take extra steps to rule out pcb board.

It is an LG french door. Are these things garbage? Or worth fixing?

[@ganeshpatel8524]

Wanted to ask: did you have clicks also or just Error 22?

[@jerryjohnson2270]

Please help me if you can Mr wizard ..I did all the test i can find here and google. The compressor makes a humming noise sounds normal gets warm to the touch?, fans work on mother board push test mode up and down compartment fans but that shuts off after mins of the light show on display panel. The fan works for condenser coil no error codes that show of front panel , I was able to produce a code pushing freezer and ice code 22 , The M board looks good visual, only one main fuse on mine i see , I never saw the mother board LED light up at all for anything. Issue is this plugged in to power got nothing but a fridge lights panel lighting panel display temp like normal. I hear the compressor come on but no blowing no cooling but seems like normal sound i guess seems to be something of a vibrate on compressor whats your thoughts . This LG fridge quit after wife said the freezer door was left open a inch for maybe 10 hours and she shut it and also cleaned it that night and then next morning ice melted from ice machine and no blowing no cold. I did a check on starter relay seems ok from continuity and compressor ohm reading about 10ohm if i did that right where you test pos leg to compressor 3 prong and ground. LG recall on compressor ironically this happen 4 years ago when trying to clean but it regained cooling. What the heck I'm stumped.

[@TheFrenchPug]

Your compressor gave out. They all 100% do. There are thousands of people online complaining about the exact same thing anywhere from 2 years to 5 years from purchase date. Getting mine done today. Waiting to get fleeced on labor charges from Sears.

[@MrsTiffanyMartinez]

...so just to clarify. The clicking sound would only be caused by a bad relay & not the compressor itself? The clicking sound is the only thing that stands out in my home like a sore thumb. Other than that, my fridge sounds quiet in regards to the fan and I believe a humming sound. LG is scheduled 📅 for a repair visit this coming week because my fridge stopped cooling, lost all of food 1 day after grocery shopping. 😑

[@latashacarter1814]

This is amazingly helpful!!

[@Straycatstrat10]

So, this is weird. I have Error 22/33 which is bad compressor relay, but my fridge runs. non stop. To the point the fridge part turned into a freezer. So, I have a glorified deep freeze lol I took apart the lower part of my fridge to get to that relay on the compressor, talked to an appliance part shop, and after I told him the issue, he said it could be a bad relay on the board. I took the fridge a little more apart to get to the board, removed the board and inspected both sides. Everything seemed fine, and I found the test button. Figuring I was going to have to replace the board anyway, I figured what harm is it to press the button? So, I pressed the button. I like buttons, don't judge. I was curious about the chip with the large heat sink, so I took off the heat sink, wiped off the thermal paste, and looked up the part number. The chip is for the blower motors. I reapplied some fresh thermal paste and stuck the heat sink back on there. Looked up some other parts like the relays and various other chips. Once I was done, I replaced everything, plugged the fridge back in...and it works. Dunno, maybe unplugging it for the time it took me to do all that was enough? Maybe hitting that button (that your video pointed out was a test button) did the trick? Maybe something needed to cool down? Shouldn't have, had the stinking thing for almost 2 years, why would it want a rest now? At any rate, it's now on a trial run while I order up a new board to have on standby. Good video, learned a bit.

[@BenBen-eu5wx]

My fridge would cool to 60 and freezer to 40. I watched multiple videos and tried all the tips. All said and done, no change. Fans work, coil is clean and so on. Still won’t cool to where it should be. Everything is clean now and sounds normal but still won’t work. My LG French Door was built in 2017 and I called in my claim in Oct of 2022. Clearly out of warranty. Without an argument, LG is sending someone out this week (parts and labor included) at no charge. They will also reimburse me for food spoilage (take photos of the waist).

I have the same thing happening to my fridge. It is only 2 1/2 years old and LG told me they will only replace the compressor if the refrigerator is not cooling at all and not if it isn’t “cooling enough”and also I have to pay for labor. So my refrigerator is 50/60 degree F. that is not cooling to me. I don’t understand why I have to pay for labor. Can somebody help me. who do I need to call to get this done for free? Again, this is a brand new fridge. It is only 2 1/2 years old and started going bad about two months ago when I noticed it.

[@TheFrenchPug]

​@@lynnea2112 So what happened?

[@danieldemaree2017]

90 % of the time if not cooling or not much cooling the culprit its the compressor, few times can be the upper evaporator leaking or a evaporator fan stopped. If 5 years or less LG will fix it free after this you will pay for the labor and the filter and compressor can be claimed to LG with purchase receive. "Good fridge with a weak compressor."

[@alanschwartz1157]

Model LFX31925SS. I just had a problem with my LG where the refrigerator was cooling but the freezer was not. I ran all the test you mentioned and got the 22 AND in Test Mode 3 I got a 33. I looked at the display and thought those numbers just indicated which test mode I was in. Who'd thunk, right? The freezer fan was not operating properly in Normal operation. But in Test Mode 2 the freezer fan would run. I did the temperature checks on the condenser coils and that was within normal spec when the compressor was running. Also, I did NOT get any of the Morse Code on the LED. When I got up the next morning the freezer had magically started to freeze during the night. ?????? I don't trust it to work properly anymore (it is between 10~12 y.o.), so we went and bought another refrigerator. $2700 and some change later I'm getting a new 'frige.......... P.S. I just got a reply from another poster that is telling that I WILL see that 22 & 33 on the display during the respective test modes. Oh well. Doesn't matter now.

[@richdemars9302]

In business Everything is a Service. When you buy a refrigerator, the refrigerator is the tool that the seller (company) uses to provide the service of reliable cold food storage. In this regard LG and Lowes have completely Failed. The LG refrigerator we bought from Lowes never worked right from the start. Lowes referred us to LG Customer (NO) Support. They made multiple appointments (not all kept) and replaced the compressor and a logic board, but the refrigerator side of the device will still not work. Now this two month old refrigerator is providing even worse Service than the Poor Service it was providing when it was delivered. If you value Service, save your Grand+ by not buying an LG and don’t buy an appliance from Lowes (their appliance support policy is the worst).

This is what I got from a technician: When you open a door during normal operation, the fan may shut off in some models. So, you have to activate the door-switch as if the door is closed. And the fan should start blowing air within a minute. Test #1 cools both compartments. Test #2 cools just the freezer, and the control panel should show 22 22. Test #3 defrosts with the control panel showing 33 33. If during the Test the fan is blowing warm (room temp) air, this points to a serious Sealed System problem.

great video my LGLFXS29766S THREE DOOR 2016 MODEL YEAR , not cooling cleaned the condenser and did the test over the phone that is to tell you what's wrong why it is not cooling or freezing ,they told me everything checked out no codes from there test ,a waste of time and no one in my buffalo ny, will even come look at this piece of junk , so i did the test on the motherboard compressor very light vibration and fan works ,so i check for fridge fans they seem to be working ok i do not get any light flashes from test board , did look like a code 22 one of the times i did the test on front of fridge , friend of mine who fixes fridges looked at it and said they will not look at them he told me it is possibly the main jaz board , so i ordered one and the capacitoras well waiting for parts to come next week hope it does the trick maybe I'll order the relay also just to cover all my bases , hope it does the trick , just glad we have a beer fridge in the garage ill drink all my beer to make room for all the food and freezer food 😅

[@thew5748]

My fridge is giving me a 22 code but I can feel the compressor vibrating so I think it’s giving me a false code. It’s cooling some but not as much as it should.

Maybe it’s low on gas Freon

In Test Mode 2 you WILL get a "22" on the display and in Test Mode 3 you WILL see a "33". Other than that I can't tell you anything. Did you check the temps on the condensor coil. It might run 20~25 degrees above ambient. Measure it with an infrared thermometer like you use to check your temperature on your forehead. Mine was reading 97-98 degrees. Go look at poster "Your Self".

Did changing the PCB board solved the problem? I changed the start relay it didn’t work. I am gonna buy a new PCB board and get it updated with new software and see. But I wanna hear from you first. Thanks!!!

For me it worked I hope it works for u also what happened to refrigerators that used to last 30 years it just seems like they try to make them break down in about 5 to 10 years

[@jasonhui2000]

@@KooperSalmo For real. Back to the days appliances last at least 10 plus years. Now I feel like manufactures deliberately make them last only a bit more than 5 years. My fridge just passed 5 and a half years. Thanks for replying!! Your videos rock!
