The Thermistor Assembly is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It serves a crucial function in monitoring and regulating the temperature within the appliance. By sensing temperature changes, the thermistor sends information to the refrigerator’s control board, ensuring the system adjusts cooling to maintain the desired temperature settings. 

Symptoms of a failing thermistor assembly include:

• Inconsistent temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer
• Refrigerator running longer than usual or not cooling efficiently
• Frequent fluctuations in temperature readings

Causes of thermistor assembly failure typically involve electrical faults, damage from moisture or frost, or simple wear over time, which can impact its ability to accurately measure and report temperatures.

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.

The Overload Compressor is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. This part protects the refrigerator's compressor from overheating and potential damage by acting as a safety device. It works by monitoring the compressor's electrical current and temperature. If the compressor operates under conditions that could lead to overheating or overcurrent, the overload protector will cut off the power to the compressor, allowing it to cool down before potentially restarting.

Causes of damage to the Overload Compressor can include power surges, electrical faults within the refrigerator, or a malfunctioning compressor that requires more current than usual to operate. 

Symptoms of a bad Overload Compressor include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly or not cooling at all
• The compressor failing to start, indicated by a clicking sound coming from the back of the refrigerator where the compressor is located.
• The refrigerator or freezer section warming up

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

The Defrost Control Assembly is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It is designed to regulate the defrost cycle, ensuring that frost buildup on the evaporator coils is periodically melted away. This helps maintain efficient cooling performance and prevents excessive ice accumulation, which can hinder the refrigerator's functionality.

You should replace the defrost control assembly if it becomes faulty. Causes of a bad defrost control assembly can include electrical failures, regular wear and tear, or damage from power surges. A malfunctioning defrost control can lead to issues such as inadequate defrosting, which results in excessive frost buildup and affects the cooling efficiency of the refrigerator.

Symptoms of a bad defrost control assembly include:

• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• The defrost cycle not initiating or running too frequently
• Increased energy consumption due to the refrigerator working harder to maintain temperature

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.

The Defrost Heater is an OEM part for LG French door refrigerators. It is an electrical heating element located inside the fridge compartment or freezer that automatically activates to melt frost and ice buildup during defrost cycles. Subject to temperatures cycling between warm and cold, the heater coil must withstand expansion stresses. 

Symptoms of a bad defrost heater include:

• Accumulating frost that decreases available storage space over time  
• Extended defrost periods not fully melting all accumulated ice
• Buzzing or clicking coming from the refrigerator compartment 

Causes can be cracks in the heater coil's insulation allowing moisture to penetrate over many years of use. Replace with this new OEM LG defrost heater to ensure automatic removal of frost for fresher food storage. It is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore French door models.
