LG Refrigerator Repair – Canton, OH (LTCS20020S /01)

A customer on McKinley Avenue Northwest in Canton called about their LG refrigerator with the freezer cooling but the refrigerator section not cooling. We found the defrost system was obstructed, blocking proper airflow between compartments.

The Problem

The customer reported the bottom section not cold while the freezer was working normally. This is a classic symptom of blocked airflow between the freezer and refrigerator compartments.

Diagnosis

We found the defrost was obstructed, preventing proper air circulation from the freezer to the fresh food section. The drain was also blocked, which can contribute to ice buildup and airflow restriction.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: No parts replaced
• Work performed: Cleared drain and verified fan operation as well as frost pattern on freezer
• Result: Advised customer to give 24 hours for proper operation

Is It Worth Repairing?

The LTCS20020S is a solid LG bottom-freezer model that’s worth maintaining. This particular issue required no parts replacement — just clearing the obstruction. LG refrigerators typically offer good reliability when properly maintained, making repairs like this very cost-effective.

Maintenance Tips for LG Refrigerators

• Check and clean the defrost drain every 6 months to prevent blockages that restrict airflow
• Keep vents between freezer and refrigerator sections clear of food packages
• Replace the air filter (if equipped) according to LG’s recommended schedule
