1 Answer Hello Kathy. You will need to test the thermistors in the unit and see if they are good or bad. If good, then the next step is replacing the main control board on the unit. 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...
Jim September 28, 2017 for Model Number LG, LFX33975ST ICE MAKER NOT DUMPING ICE, UNLESS I HIT TEST BUTTON. FREEZER IS NOT KEEPING ICE CREAM FROZEN. HAS A FAULT CODE OF "F" UNDER REFRIGERATOR AND "DH" UNDER FREEZER ON THE FRONT OF FRIDGE CONTROL. THANKS
1 Answer Hello Jim. The DH error code means it is taking too long to try to defrost. Or the evaporator isn't rising to the temperature is supposed to reach. It sounds like you may have a defrost problem with the unit. Check and see if there is any frost build up on the evaporator coils in the freezer. If so, you will need to test the defrost heater and the defrost thermostat. They should read closed for continuity when cold. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. I will include a link at the end to assist you how to use the multi-meter if needed. If both parts are good, you will need to replace the main control board. Once the problem is repaired, you will need to thaw out the ice on the coils before the unit will operate properly. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Ken August 04, 2017 for Model Number LG LFX25978st The fridge works but the freezer quit working, I did test mode and the blowers all work. I have noticed when ambient air is colder around 45F or so the freezer makes ice. I am hoping possible sensor, there is no ice on the coils when I checked. Please direct me as to what the solution might be. Thanks Ken
1 Answer Ken, You will want to remove the rear wall in the freezer and see if there is a frost pattern on the evaporator coils. You will want to look for a even pattern of frost from top to bottom. If the upper coils have frost but the lower does not then this would most likely be some type of sealed system issue and would need to have service to repair. Read More...
Dave July 25, 2017 for Model Number LFX31925st/00 Where is the thermistor located on a LG lfx31925st/00 and how do I tell if it is not working?.
1 Answer Dave, On the ceiling of the refrigerator and the freezer there is a slotted cover that you remove to expose the thermistor. To determine if the thermistor is good you would need to pull the unit out and access the control board. Disconnect the harness for the sensors and test the wires for the sensor for resistance. The resistance at room temp should be 5K ohms, at 36 degrees it should be about 14K ohms and at 0 it should be 42K ohms. Read More...
Gina February 25, 2017 for Model Number LFX25960ST Does a cover sensor (ACQ73244001)for this model control refrigerator temperature? I will also be ordering the thermistor 6500JB2001B, hopefully this will resolve my refrigerator not cooling and icing in the freezer section/drawer.
1 Answer Gina, The sensor cover does not control the temperature in the refrigerator. The thermistor is what would do this and would want to test it for 5K ohms at room temp of 77 degrees. Read More...
Kahn L. February 08, 2017 for Model Number LFC25765ST My refrigerator is not cooling well. The temperature is around 60°F degrees in the freezer. I checked and found out the temperature sensor (the sensor with the plastic cover protrude on the right side of the back panel) is bad. I could not find the right sensor. Could you help, please? Thank you
1 Answer Hello Kahn, The temperature sensor is made as part of the LED assembly EAV48995108 on this model. Read More...
Barry F March 19, 2016 for Model Number LFX28978st /02 The Ice maker is not making ice and the freezer is only getting to 17 degree (f). I have change the main control bd Part Number EBR73304210 and the ice maker too, need help
1 Answer Barry, You will want to check the frost pattern on the evaporator coil in the freezer. You will want to make sure that the coils have a nice even frost pattern on them. If they are impacted with ice then the issue will be a defrost issue in which you will want to do a continuity test on the heater and check the resistance of the defrost sensor to make sure that they are good. If there is not a full frost pattern top to bottom then the issue will be a possible sealed system issue in which you will need to get a service technician to check the unit. Read More...
