Is It Worth Repairing?

LG refrigerators from this era are generally reliable appliances, but sealed system problems are typically expensive repairs that often exceed the value of the unit. For a refrigerator this age, monitoring the performance after cleaning is the most cost-effective approach before considering replacement.
