LG Refrigerator Repair – Canton, OH (LFDS22520S/01)

A Canton homeowner called about their LG refrigerator with the freezer getting to temp but refrigerator section not cooling. Our diagnosis revealed blocked airflow pathways preventing proper circulation between compartments.

The Problem

The customer reported their top/bottom freezer refrigerator had a freezer getting to temp but refrigerator section not cooling. This is a classic airflow issue where cold air isn’t circulating properly from the freezer to the fresh food compartment.

Diagnosis

Freezer fine. Airflow in freezer checks good. Defrost drain and return air blocked. The blockages were preventing the natural air circulation that moves cold air from the freezer section up to cool the refrigerator compartment.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: None
• Work performed: Cleared defrost drain and return air blockages
• Result: Good to go with proper airflow restored

Is It Worth Repairing?

This LG refrigerator is absolutely worth repairing. Blocked drains and air returns are common maintenance issues that don’t indicate any major system failure. With no parts needed and just clearing blockages, this unit should provide many more years of reliable service.

Maintenance Tips for LG Refrigerators

• Check and clear the defrost drain monthly to prevent ice buildup that blocks airflow
• Keep air vents inside both compartments clear of food containers and packaging
• Clean the condenser coils every 6 months on LG bottom-freezer models like this LFDS22520S
