Mat September 05, 2021 for Model Number LFC22770SB/01 My Lg LFC22770SB/01 refrigerator quit cooling. I've replaced the evaporator fan, the emergency shut off sensor on the compressor, cleaned the coils and, replaced the defrost sensor and tried a new main board which didn't seem to work. The lights stayed on when the door was closed and went off when doors were opened. I also replaced the thermistor sensors with possibly the wrong parts. The freezer fan works but cools the compartment only to about what the refrigerator setting should be and doesn't freeze anything. The refrigerator has only very slight cooling and air movement. I got sensors that only had wires which i cut off and used butt connectors to install but see there are the kind that plug in. If this doesn't work what should I do? Repair service is in short supply in my area.
1 Answer Mat, it would be recommended that the refrigerator door switches 6600JB3007E and freezer door switch 6600JB1010A are tested for continuity to identify if they are operating properly. The switches should show continuity when they are not being pressed. Read More...
Ann April 16, 2021 for Model Number 795.79043.310 Both cabinets are cool but not cool enough and freezer not freezing, coils clean, fan running and I would like to proactively replace the thermistor... I see the access and can pry off the cover, but how do I get the thermistor plug out of the area? Do I take the entire back cover off or is there another access point in the freezer compartment?
1 Answer Ann, For this temperature sensor, you will remove the rear wall inside the freezer compartment. Once removed you will be able to replace the sensor. Also, check the evaporator coils to make sure that there is a full even frost pattern. If there is very little frost then this sounds like a sealed system issue. Read More...
Marty August 18, 2020 for Model Number LFXS24663S/00 How do you replace the temperature sensor in th freezer?
1 Answer Marty, The freezer drawer will need to be removed and we have sent you an email on the removal of that. After that, the rear panel needs to be removed by simply pulling the bottom towards you and then let it drop down. There are no screws on the rear panel. The sensor is located on the top right cover on the rear panel if you are looking at it. The panel has wires from the sensor and fan so when you let it drop down keep hold of it and maybe even take a pic of what connects where. Disconnect all the wires and remove the rear panel to replace the sensor. Read More...
Wil Liam Kohel July 18, 2020 for Model Number LG----LFX28968ST/01 the freezer temperature sensor part AP5594347 was left loose on the defrosting heating element and has a burn mark after the compressor was replaced. Where does this belong? Freezer now ices up every couple of weeks and must be defrosted or the refrigerator will be warm. All the youtubes show a removable panel in the upper right hand corner but this model only has a few holes at this spot and no place to clip in the sensor.
1 Answer William, This temperature sensor would go on the rear wall in the freezer compartment. It will go on the right side of that wall where the little grill is located. Read More...
Myron November 29, 2019 for Model Number LFCS22520S/00 Freezer working fine -- maybe even a little cooler than usual. Refrigerator not cooling, and airflow not happening in the refrigerator when doing the test with a magnet to get airflow to turn on. This happened after a 4-day power shutdown from the utility board. I was using bagged ice to keep the refrigerator contents cool, but this added a LOT of water to the refrigerator compartment, which I'm guessing caused the evaporator to freeze over and to stop the fan motor when the power came back on. I'm further guessing the fan motor must have failed. So, I'm ordering parts to replace the fan motor. Should I replace anything else at the same time while I have the freezer dismantled? I would prefer to have all the parts at hand, so I don't have to do it a 2nd time.
1 Answer Hello Myron, The complete assembly for the fan and mounting assemblies is AEB73865902. while in there you should check the air duct to the fresh food compartment for frost build-up. You should also check the duct assembly in the rear of the fresh food compartment for any frost accumulation. If this assembly is found to be defective for air-flow, it ADJ73712911 should also be replaced. Read More...
Leslie October 25, 2019 for Model Number 79573055410 My refrigerator and freezer quit cooling. We replaced the main board. It still isn't cooling or freezing.
1 Answer Leslie, the thermistor assembly EBG60663230 will need to be tested for continuity with the unit unplugged from the wall outlet. The wires will need to be tested for continuity from one end to the other while unplugged from the cabin. If a wire does not have continuity from end to end, then the assembly will need to be replaced. If continuity is good, then the issue may be with the compressor itself. Read More...
Mark July 18, 2019 for Model Number LG LFXS24623W Refrigerator temp works great but freezer won't get below 24 degrees. There is no frost build up, it seems maybe the freezer sensor is off. At 0 degrees it's 30, turn down to minus 6 and it cools to 24.
1 Answer Mark, the freezer thermistor 6500JB2002X can be tested directly at the main control to verify if it has failed. With the refrigerator unplugged, the main control can be accessed behind the access panel located above the compressor section. The connection for the freezer thermistor is going to be connection CON7 pin 15 to pin 16. Both wires are blue and white striped. At 5 degrees Fahrenheit, the thermistor should read 17K ohms. At -4 degrees, the resistance should read 23K ohms. Between 23 to 32 degrees, the resistance should read between 10 to 8 K ohms. If the resistance does not match the temperature in the freezer, then the thermistor has failed. If the resistance does match the temperature directly in the freezer, then the main control EBR79267107 has failed. Read More...
Charles June 18, 2019 for Model Number 795.74023.410 When I plug this sensor in, the lights go off and the compressor stops. When I unplug it the compressor comes back on and the coils begin to frost. None of the fans run either way, Should this be replaced. I'm trying to get the refrigerator part to cool.
1 Answer Charles, On this model when a sensor fails, there is usually an error listed on the display [ex. Er ff]. This part can be tested for resistance for 7.8k ohms of resistance at 0 degrees and 1.4k ohms at about 40 degrees. It really sounds like you could have a problem with the air damper located inside the air tower in the refrigerator with it not opening. Unfortunately, if that is your issue that part is no longer available. Remember the fans won't run when the doors are open and when the sensor is unplugged it goes into a manual cool. Read More...
Kp December 02, 2018 for Model Number LFXS30766S what is the part number of the sensor for LG LFXS30766S? How do i know if it is bad?

Tony Deg September 11, 2017 for Model Number 795.73055.410 what is the resistance of defrost sensor at 32F and room temp? sensor 6500JB2002X Thanks, Tony
1 Answer Tony, The resistance of the sensor at room temp would be 5K ohms and at 32 degrees will be around 17K ohms. Read More...
