One of the most common causes of an LG fridge not cooling is when the condenser coils get dirty or covered in ice/frost. When this happens, your fridge won’t be able to cool down to the correct temperature.
The easiest way to clean the condenser coils is to:
Check that the condenser fan is working properly. If it isn’t, you’ll need to replace it. The condenser fan is important because it helps the condenser coils stay cool, which in turn helps your fridge stay cool.
To check if the condenser fan is working, follow these instructions:
The evaporator fan distributes cold air from the freezer into the fridge. If it becomes defective, your fridge might not stay cold, or it may not cool down at all.
To check if the evaporator fan is working, follow these instructions:
The start relay helps start the compressor in your fridge. The compressor is the most important component in your fridge when it comes to keeping it cool. If the start relay stops working, the compressor will too.
To check if the start relay is working correctly, follow these instructions:
Along with the start relay, the temperature control thermostat helps the compressor operate. It also helps control the evaporator fan motor and the condenser fan motor. When the thermostat stops working your LG fridge will fail to stay cool.
To check if the temperature control thermostat is working, follow these instructions:
The start capacitor is another important component that helps the compressor start. If it becomes defective the compressor might not work and your fridge will fail to stay cool.
To check if the start capacitor is working, follow these instructions:
The thermistor keeps track of the temperature in your fridge and sends a signal to the main control board letting it know the temperature so the control board can turn other components on and off as needed to regulate your fridge’s temperature. When the thermistor stops working, your LG fridge might not cool to the correct temperature, or it may not cool at all.
To check if the thermistor is working, follow these instructions:
The compressor is the most important component in your fridge. It’s responsible for keeping the fridge cool by circulating refrigerant through the condenser coils and evaporator fan. If the compressor breaks down, your fridge won’t cool.
To check if the compressor is working, follow these instructions:
If you still haven’t found the reason for your LG fridge not cooling, then your final repair option is to replace the main control board. However, there’s no guarantee that replacing the control board will work so you may be better off buying a new fridge, especially if your LG fridge is an older model.
