  If your LG Refrigerator and Freezer are not cooling, first, ensure the refrigerator display control isn't set to OFF. If it is, cancel the OFF mode. Also, the unit may be in Display mode, which you can check on page 24. If the refrigerator was recently installed, it can take up to 24 hours to reach the desired temperature. If the refrigerator is in the defrost cycle, wait 40 minutes after the cycle completes to see if the temperature restores.

Why is my LG GF-5D712SL icemaker not making enough ice?
- N
  Nicole WaltersAug 23, 2025
  If the icemaker in your LG refrigerator isn't making enough ice, it could be due to several factors. The demand might exceed the ice storage capacity, as the icemaker produces about 50-80 cubes in 24 hours. Ensure the house water supply is connected, the valve is fully open, and not clogged. Replace the water filter every six months or when the indicator turns on. Low water pressure or a kinked water supply line can also be the cause. Reverse Osmosis filtration system can also reduce the water pressure.

  If the LG Refrigerator is not dispensing ice, ensure all doors are completely closed. Infrequent use can cause ice cubes to stick together; break them up if needed. Clear the delivery chute of frost or ice fragments using a plastic utensil, and try dispensing cubed ice to prevent buildup. Check if the dispenser display is locked and unlock it by pressing and holding the Lock button for three seconds. Ensure the ice bin isn't empty, which can take up to 24 hours to fill after installation.

  If your LG Refrigerator icemaker is not making ice, it may take up to 24 hours after installation or connection for ice production to begin. Ensure the icemaker is turned on using the Ice On/Off button. Verify the refrigerator is connected to a water supply and the shutoff valve is open. Check that the icemaker shutoff arm or sensor is not obstructed. Reverse osmosis water filtration systems can reduce water pressure, causing issues.

  Your LG Refrigerator might not be cooling because the display control is set to OFF. Cancel the OFF mode to start the unit. It could also be in Display mode, or the refrigerator might be in the defrost cycle, during which the temperature may rise slightly for about 40 minutes. If the refrigerator was recently installed or relocated, it can take up to 24 hours to reach the desired temperature; if relocated, let it stand upright for 24 hours before connecting to power.

What to do if my LG Refrigerator is not dispensing water?
- A
  Andrea MckinneyAug 29, 2025
  If your LG Refrigerator isn't dispensing water, it could be due to a few reasons. If it's a new installation or the water line was recently connected, dispense 2.5 gallons of water to remove trapped air. Make sure the dispenser panel isn't locked by pressing and holding the Lock button for three seconds, and ensure the dispenser is set to water dispensing by pressing the Water button. Check that the refrigerator doors are fully closed. If the water filter was recently replaced, dispense 2.5 gallons of water. Also, inspect the tubing for kinks and ensure the house water supply is connected and the valve is fully open.

What to do if my LG GF-5D712SL or Freezer section is too warm?

  If your LG Refrigerator or Freezer section is too warm, it might be because it was recently installed and needs up to 24 hours to reach the desired temperature. Check if the air vents are blocked and rearrange items to allow airflow. Avoid opening the doors too often or for long periods. Ensure the unit isn't in a hot location (above 43°C). Allow hot food to cool before placing it inside. Also, make sure the temperature control is set correctly, adjusting it one increment at a time, and wait 40 minutes after a defrost cycle.

Why is food freezing in the refrigerator compartment of my LG Refrigerator?
- N
  Nicole FieldsSep 1, 2025
  If food is freezing in the refrigerator compartment of your LG Refrigerator, it may be because food with high water content is placed near an air vent. Rearrange these items away from the vents. The refrigerator temperature control may be set incorrectly; adjust it one increment at a time. If the refrigerator is installed in a cold location (below 5°C), it should not be operated in temperature below 13°C.

  If your LG Refrigerator section is too warm, it could be because it was recently installed, and it can take up to 24 hours to reach the desired temperature. Check if the air vents are blocked and rearrange items to allow airflow. Frequent or prolonged door openings can also cause this, so reduce these. Ensure the unit isn't in a hot location (above 43°C). If you've added a large amount of food or hot food, allow hot food to cool before refrigerating. Make sure the doors are closing correctly, the temperature control is properly set, and the defrost cycle has completed (wait 40 minutes after).
