A customer in Massillon called about their LG refrigerator that kept shutting off, requiring them to reset the circuit breaker each time. The fridge would work for a while then shut off again, and they’d looked up an error code suggesting it could be the ice maker fan.
The Problem
The fridge keeps shutting off and the customer had to go down and turn the circuit breaker off then back on. It would work for awhile then shut off again. The customer looked up the code and found it was saying it could be the fan connected with the ice maker.
Diagnosis
The fridge function appeared to be fine. It had generated an error code for the ice maker fan. It appeared that when the fridge had thawed out, the ice maker fan created ice and froze up. There were two coffee makers on the same circuit. It appears that the circuit was overloaded.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: No parts needed
- Work performed: Identified circuit overload issue and ice maker fan freeze-up
- Result: Customer advised on electrical circuit management
Is It Worth Repairing?
This LG refrigerator didn’t need any parts — just proper electrical management. When the actual issue is circuit overload rather than appliance failure, it’s always worth addressing the root cause. LG refrigerators are generally reliable appliances that can run for many years with proper electrical supply.
Maintenance Tips for LG Refrigerators
- Avoid overloading electrical circuits — refrigerators need dedicated power
- Check ice maker regularly for ice buildup that can jam the fan motor
- Keep the refrigerator coils clean to prevent overworking the compressor
