Peter M for Model Number LFX25974ST My LG two-door refrigerator has suddenly stopped cooling, freezing, or making ice. The fans are running, and I don't believe the compressor is dead (no clicking or other weird noised coming out). I'm trying to figure out if it could just be the thermistor (yay -they're dirt cheap, and easy to replace), but I don't know how to test it without destroying it by cutting the wires attaching it to the refrigerator. Is there only 1 thermistor in the refrigerator? The one in the cooler section is easy to find, but I don't see anything like that in the freezer section. Any help that you could provide would be greatly appreciated. (You guys helped me fix my LG washing machine a couple of years ago).
Answer Peter, If the compressor is running you will have frost on the evaporators. You will need to pull off the rear covers and check the evaporators. If the compressor is running and no frost you have a compressor that is running but not pumping the refrigerant. You would need a compressor and a refrigeration technician to finish the repair. It doesn't matter what the thermistors read or if fans run, if that compressor is running you should have frost so pull those covers off and see what you find. Read More...
