We responded to a service call on Schuller Dr NE in Canton, OH for an LG refrigerator that wasn’t keeping food cold. The customer reported their fridge was warm in both sections, and our diagnosis revealed a sealed system failure that made the unit uneconomical to repair.
The Problem
The customer contacted us because their LG refrigerator was warm in both sections. Both the fresh food compartment and freezer were failing to maintain proper temperatures, putting all stored food at risk.
Diagnosis
Upon inspection, we found the unit was not cooling at all. The compressor, evaporator fans, and condenser fan were all running normally, which pointed to a sealed system failure. This meant the refrigeration circuit itself had failed internally, despite all the electrical components functioning properly.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: No parts replaced
- Work performed: Diagnosed sealed system failure
- Result: Customer advised to replace refrigerator
Is It Worth Repairing?
Sealed system failures in refrigerators are rarely cost-effective to repair, especially on older units. The repair involves replacing major refrigeration components and typically costs more than half the price of a new refrigerator. For this LG model, replacement was the most practical option.
Maintenance Tips for LG Refrigerators
- Keep condenser coils clean by vacuuming them every 6 months to prevent system overwork
- Replace the water filter according to LG’s schedule to maintain proper water flow
- Check door seals regularly and clean them with warm soapy water to ensure proper sealing
