Karl C August 14, 2015 for Model Number LGUS2642LEO My refrigerator blew that circuit breaker and now will not turn on. I have replaced the capacitor and starter but there is still no power. What would be the next things to try? I have visibly inspected both the control panel and the power board, however, neither shows any signs of burning and there is no odor of burn. Any sense of direction will be appreciated.
1 Answer Karl, The most likely cause for the unit having no power after power surge or the unit tripping the breaker would be a faulty main power control board. The part number for the control board is 5303918538. Even though it has no burning odor or spots that look burnt, this does not entail that the board has not failed. Read More...
Thomas May 04, 2015 for Model Number LGUS2642LF1 My Refrigerator side freezes the food can't set the temperature or set it and it don't stay to the setting.
1 Answer Thomas, You will want to check the thermistor in the unit to make sure that it is good. If the thermistor checks ok then the control board would be the issue with the unit. Read More...
Zoe M April 15, 2015 for Model Number FGUS2642LFO I just acquired a side-by-side fridge model FGUS2642LFO and both the fridge and freezer are cooling well and according to the temperature panel are getting to the set temperatures. However, the freezer continuously runs and never shuts off even when it says it has reached the set temp. If you lower the set temperature for the freezer then the compressor will shut off. But as soon as the temperature drops and the unit need to begin cooling again the compressor comes on and will not turn back off unless you lower the desired temperature below the current temperature. So it seems to be getting the signal to turn on when the freezer gets too warm but does not get the signal to turn off when it gets cool enough.
1 Answer Zoe, You will want to check the thermistors in the unit to make sure that they are reading proper resistance for what the unit temp is and if not then the thermistors would need to be replaced. Read More...
Derek B January 16, 2014 for Model Number LGUS2642LE0 I have a Frigidaire side by side with the thermostat controls on the front next to the ice dispenser. Model # LGUS2642LE0 The temperature on the control panels is set to 0 for the freezer and 36 for the fridge. but on the display it fluctuates between -15 and 5 for the freezer and 60-80 for the fridge. however everything in the fridge is frozen. I just replaced this control panel next to the ice maker and the new one is doing the exact same thing. What else could it be?
1 Answer Hello Derek. It sounds like the sensor 240597220 is bad and will need to be replaced in the unit. This reads the temp in the unit. If it is good, you will replace the main board 5303918538 in the unit. Read More...
Paul September 27, 2013 for Model Number LGUS2642LF1 Once I replace board switch and do manual defrost will it show on freezer door display so I know it's working? I have not seen anything that shows defrost or codes. I just wanted to know before ordering the board thanks for all your help.
1 Answer Hello Paul. The unit should shut off when you manually put it into defrost and you should see the heater turn on in the unit. Read More...

Jh June 08, 2012 for Model Number fgus2642lf0 how do you access the main board - its wedged under the bottom of fridge. Is there a reick?
1 Answer JH, You will need to remove the two screws that hold the front retainer channel to the bottom of the refrigerator. You may have to raise the front of the fridge, enough to remove the two screws or get a 1/4 in. combination wrench or stubby socket. Once the retainer bar is removed , you can slide the box out as far as possible, disconnect the harness and replace the control board. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
