Why my LG Refrigerator does not work?
- T
  Terry FordSep 1, 2025
  Your LG Refrigerator might not be working due to several reasons: the power cord may not be properly plugged into an outlet with the correct voltage; a household fuse might have blown, or a circuit breaker tripped, so replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker; the refrigerator control might be set to the OFF position, so refer to the Setting the Controls section on page 14; or the refrigerator might be in the defrost cycle, in that case wait about 30 minutes for it to end.

  First, ensure the refrigerator is level. Next, check for food packages blocking the door open and rearrange them. Make sure the ice bin, crisper cover, pans, shelves, door bins, or baskets are correctly positioned. If the gaskets are sticking, clean them and apply a thin coat of paraffin wax after cleaning. If the refrigerator wobbles or seems unstable, level it.

Why does the ice from my LG BOTTOM FREEZER have an off-taste or odor?
- C
  Charles MosesSep 13, 2025
  If the icemaker was recently installed, discard the first few batches of ice. If the ice has been stored too long, throw it away and make a new supply. Ensure food is tightly wrapped in both compartments, as odors can migrate to the ice if food isn't properly wrapped. If the water supply contains minerals like sulfur, consider installing or replacing a filter. Clean the interior of the refrigerator and the ice storage bin, discarding old cubes.

Why are the doors on my LG BOTTOM FREEZER Refrigerator difficult to open?
- S
  Stephanie AverySep 12, 2025
  The gaskets might be dirty or sticky. Clean them and the surfaces they touch, then rub a thin coat of appliance polish or kitchen wax on the gaskets. Also, if the door is reopened shortly after being opened, warmer air enters the refrigerator, potentially creating a vacuum as it cools. Wait 5 minutes for the air pressure to equalize before trying again.

How to fix lights that do not work in LG Refrigerator?
- R
  Richard HolmesSep 17, 2025
  If the lights in your LG Refrigerator aren't working, start by checking if the power supply cord is firmly plugged into a live outlet with proper voltage. If it is, the light bulb might be loose; turn the refrigerator control to the OFF position, unplug the refrigerator, gently remove the bulb and reinsert it, then plug the refrigerator back in and reset the control. If the bulb has burned out, replace it with an appliance bulb of the same wattage, size, and shape, after turning the temperature control to the OFF position and unplugging the refrigerator.

  If your LG Refrigerator's icemaker isn't producing ice or the ice cubes are freezing too slowly, ensure the freezer temperature is cold enough. It can take 24 hours after hook-up for ice production to begin. Also, check if the door is left open, as this can affect ice production.

  Patricia GonzalezAug 26, 2025
  If your LG Refrigerator isn't working, start by checking if the power cord is firmly plugged into a working outlet with the correct voltage. Also, inspect your household fuse or circuit breaker and replace or reset it if necessary. Ensure the refrigerator control isn't set to the OFF position. If the refrigerator is in the defrost cycle, wait about 30 minutes for it to complete.

Why is my LG BOTTOM FREEZER compressor motor running too much?
- L
  Laura DukeAug 26, 2025
  Several factors can cause your LG Refrigerator's compressor motor to run excessively. Modern refrigerators often require more operating time due to increased storage space. Warmer room temperatures will cause the motor to run longer. Frequent door openings or adding a large amount of food can also extend the running time as the refrigerator works to cool back down. If the refrigerator was recently plugged in, it can take up to 24 hours to cool completely. Ensure the doors are closing completely. Dirty condenser coils can also make the motor work harder, so cleaning them may help.
