Why are my LG Refrigerator and Freezer section not cooling?
- B
  Becky MccormickAug 18, 2025
  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-5L712PL icemaker not making enough ice?
- C
  Craig Thompson MDAug 20, 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.

Why is my LG GF-5L712PL Refrigerator not dispensing ice?
- S
  Steven McfarlandAug 23, 2025
  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.

What to do if my LG GF-5L712PL or Freezer section is too warm?
- D
  Daniel JonesAug 28, 2025
  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?
- G
  Gregory ColeAug 30, 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.

Why is the cooling system in my LG GF-5L712PL Refrigerator running too much?
- W
  William GreerSep 5, 2025
  If your LG Refrigerator cooling system runs too much, it could be due to several reasons. Modern refrigerators require more operating time but use less energy. If recently plugged in, it can take up to 24 hours to cool completely. Frequent door openings or adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator, requiring the compressor to run longer. Ensure the doors are closed completely and that the refrigerator isn't installed in a hot location. Clean the condenser cover and vents with a vacuum cleaner attachment after disconnecting the mains.

How to prevent interior moisture buildup in my LG Refrigerator?
- M
  Michelle ReyesSep 7, 2025
  If you notice interior moisture buildup in your LG Refrigerator, it could be due to doors being opened frequently or for long periods. Humid weather can also introduce moisture when the doors are opened. Make sure to maintain a reasonable humidity level in your home. Ensure food is packaged correctly in sealed containers and wipe containers dry. If a defrost cycle has recently completed, wait 40 minutes.

Why does frost or ice form on frozen food in my LG GF-5L712PL Refrigerator?
- W
  whitedanielSep 10, 2025
  If frost or ice crystals form on frozen food outside the package in your LG Refrigerator, it is often due to the door being opened frequently or for long periods, which introduces warm, humid air. Reduce the frequency and duration of door openings. Ensure the door is closing properly.
