Why is my LG Refrigerator cooling system running too much?
- A
  Amber MyersSep 6, 2025
  Your LG refrigerator's cooling system might run more than an older model due to more efficient technology. If it was recently plugged in, it can take up to 24 hours to cool completely. Frequent door openings or adding a large amount of food can also cause this. Ensure doors are closed completely and clean the condenser cover and vents with a vacuum cleaner. A hot location can also make the compressor run longer; it should not be operated above 110°F.

What to do if my LG Refrigerator is not dispensing ice?
- A
  Andrea MartinAug 26, 2025
  If your LG refrigerator is not dispensing ice, there are several possible reasons. Ice will not dispense if any of the refrigerator doors are left open. Infrequent use of the dispenser can cause ice cubes to clump together; break up the ice cubes in the ice bin. A clogged delivery chute with frost or ice fragments can also be the issue; remove the ice bin and clear the chute with a plastic utensil. The dispenser display may be locked; press and hold the Lock button for three seconds to unlock it. Finally, the ice bin may be empty; it can take up to 90 minutes for additional ice to be available once the bin is exhausted.

  Your LG refrigerator or freezer section might not be cooling because the refrigerator control is set to OFF. Turn the control ON and refer to the Setting the Controls section for proper temperature settings. The refrigerator may be in the defrost cycle; wait 30 minutes and confirm the proper temperature has been restored. If the refrigerator was recently installed, it may take up to 24 hours to reach the desired temperature. If the refrigerator was recently relocated, allow it to stand upright for 24 hours before connecting it to power.

  Your LG refrigerator might not be dispensing ice if the doors are not closed completely. Check the ice bin for ice cubes clumping together and break them up if necessary. Clear the delivery chute of frost or ice fragments with a plastic utensil. Ensure the dispenser display is not locked by pressing and holding the Lock button for three seconds. Also, make sure the ice bin is not empty and the shutoff (arm/sensor) is not obstructed.

Why does my LG LFXS29766 ice have a bad taste or odor?
- G
  George CooperAug 28, 2025
  If the ice from your LG refrigerator has a bad taste or odor, it could be due to several reasons. The water supply might contain minerals such as sulfur, which may require a water filter. If the icemaker was recently installed, discard the first few batches of ice. Ice stored for too long can also develop a bad taste or odor, so throw away old ice and make a new supply. Improperly stored food in either compartment can cause odors to migrate to the ice, so rewrap the food. Additionally, the interior of the refrigerator or the ice storage bin may need to be cleaned. Empty and wash the bin, ensuring it is completely dry before reinstalling.

  duane93Aug 29, 2025
  If your LG refrigerator or freezer section is too warm, several factors could be contributing. If the refrigerator was recently installed, it may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to reach the desired temperature. Check if the air vents are blocked and rearrange items to allow air to flow throughout the compartment. Reduce the frequency and duration of door openings. Ensure the unit is not installed in a hot location (above 110F). Allow hot food to cool to room temperature before putting it in the refrigerator. Make sure the doors are closed correctly. Adjust the temperature control one increment at a time and wait for the temperature to stabilize. Finally, wait 30 minutes after the defrost cycle has completed to confirm the proper temperature has been restored.

  If the cooling system in your LG refrigerator is running too much, it could be due to several reasons. Modern refrigerators require more operating time but use less energy. If the refrigerator was recently plugged in or power restored, it will take up to 24 hours to cool completely. Frequent door openings, adding a large amount of food, or adding hot food can cause this issue. Ensure the doors are closed completely. The refrigerator should not be operated above 110°F. Clean the condenser cover and vents with a vacuum cleaner attachment.
