Why is my LG GMM916NSHV cooling system running too much?

  Joseph Brown MDAug 14, 2025
  If your LG Refrigerator's cooling system runs too much, it might be due to several reasons. Modern refrigerators require more operating time due to efficient technology. If recently plugged in, it can take up to 24 hours to cool completely. Frequent door openings or adding a large amount of food/hot food warms the fridge, causing the compressor to run longer. Ensure doors are closed completely and the fridge isn't in a hot location, as warmer conditions make the compressor run more often. Clean the condenser cover and vents with a vacuum cleaner after disconnecting the appliance from the mains.

  If your LG Refrigerator or Freezer section is not cooling, first ensure that the fridge display control is not set to OFF. If it is, cancel the OFF mode. Refer to the Setting the Controls section for proper temperature settings. Also, it may be in Display mode (refer to page 16 for instructions). The fridge may be in the defrost cycle, during which the temperature may rise slightly; wait 40 minutes after the cycle. If the fridge was recently installed, it may take up to 24 hours to reach the desired temperature. If recently relocated, let it stand upright for 24 hours before connecting to power.

  If your LG Refrigerator or Freezer section is too warm, it may take up to 24 hours to reach the desired temperature if recently installed. Check for blocked air vents and rearrange items to allow airflow. Reduce the frequency and duration of door openings to prevent warm air from entering. Ensure the unit isn't in a hot location (above 110°F or 43°C). Allow hot food to cool before refrigerating. Make sure the doors are closed correctly and the temperature control is set appropriately. Finally, during the defrost cycle, the temperature may rise slightly; wait 40 minutes after the cycle.

Why does my LG GMM916NSHV Refrigerator have interior moisture buildup?
- R
  Robert FryAug 25, 2025
  If you notice interior moisture buildup in your LG Refrigerator, it may be due to frequent or prolonged door openings, which allow warm, humid air to enter. Ensure the doors are closed correctly. Humid weather can also contribute to moisture. Wait 40 minutes after the defrost cycle has completed. Properly package food, ensuring it is covered or wrapped, and wipe containers dry to prevent condensation.

Why is food freezing in my LG GMM916NSHV Refrigerator compartment?

  Latoya WilsonAug 27, 2025
  If food is freezing in the fridge compartment of your LG Refrigerator, rearrange items with high water content away from air vents. Ensure the fridge temperature control is not set too cold. If the fridge is in a cold location (below 41°F or 5°C), this can also cause food to freeze. The fridge should not be operated in temperatures below 55°F (13°C).

  If the doors of your LG Refrigerator won't close correctly or pop open, rearrange food containers to clear the door and door shelves. Ensure the ice bin, crisper cover, pans, shelves, door bins, or baskets are correctly positioned. If the doors were removed during installation, replace them properly. Also, ensure the fridge is leveled correctly.
