Garrett March 22, 2020 for Model Number LMXS28626D My LG refrigerator suddenly stopped cooling. All lights and computer functions work. When I run the LG smart diagnostics it says everything is good. I watched a few of your videos. The compressor runs and isn't making any clicks that I can hear. I ran the 'test' feature on the control board. The fan by the compressor runs, as do the fans in the fridge during the test mode. Any thoughts or ideas on what may be the problem?
1 Answer Garret, If your compressor is running then you will need to check the evaporator in the freezer behind the rear panel. If there is no frost on the evaporator then you have a sealed system issue and a licensed refrigeration tech is suggested to fix the problem. Read More...
Frank March 07, 2020 for Model Number 795.79299.901 Appliance stopped cooling entirely and light does not work when opening refrig. also no light for temp control or ice maker. took resistance reading on compressor motor and windings read good. thinking of replacing OLP and compacitor. Thanks Frank
1 Answer Frank, With no lighting and the unit not cooling, check to make sure that there is power to the unit. If there is power then this will be a faulty main control board. Read More...
Bruno November 22, 2019 for Model Number LFX25960ST My fridge will not start after a power failure, I need to turn off/on the breaker circuit about 10-15 times before it starts again, every time I see the front panel light up and after about 20 seconds I hear a click and the power turns off. after a successful startup it works fine until the next power outage. can you help ? thanks Bruno
1 Answer Bruno, based on the information provided, it sounds like the main control is having issues with routing power as necessary when a power outage occurs. Control failures can occur in situations like this, especially if there is a surge of power just before the outage. During failure, the main control EBR34917104 should be tested for incoming and outgoing voltage readings to ensure that this would be the only failure. Read More...
Derald May 03, 2018 for Model Number lfc23760sw Lg refrigerator move from one house another. Was unplugged for about 4 hours. Always in upright position. Plugged it in it seem to have started working. Later that night we went to put something in the freeze stuff was thawed and fridge was not cooling. Open the doors and shut them sound like the seal was working. then I could here what sounded like the compressor trying to engage for about 3 seconds and stop. If it is start relay what other items do you recommend replacing with it.
1 Answer Derald, If the compressor is trying to start but will not then the overload and start relay would be the parts that you would want to replace. Read More...
Mark July 15, 2017 for Model Number LFC25760SW Lights wont turn on in refrigerator. 1st checked bulbs in standard socket * working. 2nd checked door switch with volt meter, and confirmed with internal digital gauge reads with manual pushing of switch button. 3rd Unplugged light sockets from the harness and tested with volt meter and I get no reading with doors open or closed.
1 Answer Mark, For this issue the cause for the light to not come on would be a faulty control board. The main control board has a capacitor that is bad and will need to replace the main board. Read More...
Thomas August 19, 2016 for Model Number 79569299901 Refrigerator was a block of ice in the freezer. cleaned out and now nothing works. Water was leaking into the refrigerator and let dry out and now nothing works. The display board just cycles 1-2-3-4-5 and over again. No fan or any sounds come on. I thought the display board got wet and replaced. That did not fix the problem. Any ideas? Pushed the test button on the master board, but the lights just continue to cycle 1-2-3-4-5 with no change.
1 Answer Thomas, It sounds like the unit will be in a demo mode and to take out of demo mode you will 1. Open both the refrigerator and freezer doors. 2. Push in both door switches and at the same time press and hold the Temperature Adjust button for 5 seconds. Read More...
George August 13, 2016 for Model Number 79577553600 I front display on my refrigerator stopped functioning and some of the food in back of the refrigerator is freezing. I have replaced the board of the display as well as the master control board. I have double and triple checked the connections, but the front display still does not work. I read that a wire harness may have a burned out wire. How can I find the part and replace. Any other recommendations welcome.
1 Answer George, You will want to check the connection point at the top of the refrigerator to ensure that there is no loose or damaged wire at that point. If there is on the door side then the door itself would have to be replaced. Read More...
Ron May 09, 2016 for Model Number LRBN20512ww Freezer goes into defrost mode then won't restart cooling, hear click.
1 Answer Hello Ron. You need to check and see if the main control board is bad or if it may be the start device for the compressor. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Kevin October 15, 2015 for Model Number LFC25760SB I have the issue with the refrigerator light either staying on or staying off, and occasionally working as it should. I understand the the cure is a new circuit board, but do I need to get a new Capacitor as well?
1 Answer Hello Kevin. No, you just need to replace the board and the light sockets in the unit. Read More...
Ken October 08, 2015 for Model Number LFC20760SW Freezer not cooling, Compressor hot to touch. Was told to replace the Compressor Relay And Overload. Can you give me the part numbers. Thanks...
1 Answer Ken, The part number for the overload and relay assembly would be the relay 6749C-0014E and overload 6750C-0005P. Also check to make sure that the condenser fan is running. Read More...
