Why does my LG BOTTOM FREEZER have frost or ice crystals on frozen food?
This issue can arise if the refrigerator door isn't closing properly. Also, if the door is opened frequently, warm, humid air enters the freezer, leading to frost formation.
Why is there interior moisture buildup in my LG BOTTOM FREEZER?
Several factors can cause this. The air vents might be blocked, so locate them and move any packages obstructing airflow. If the doors are opened often, warm, humid air enters the refrigerator. Ensure the control is correctly set for the surrounding conditions. A large amount of food recently added can also cause this. Wrap food tightly and wipe off damp containers before storing to avoid moisture accumulation. Also, make sure the doors are closing completely. It's normal for droplets to form on the back wall after a self-defrost cycle, and humid weather can introduce moisture when doors are opened.
Why my LG Refrigerator does not work?
