  If your LG refrigerator or freezer section is too warm, consider the following possible causes: * If the refrigerator was recently installed, it may take up to 24 hours to reach the desired temperature. * Ensure that the air vents are not blocked by food packages; rearrange items to allow proper airflow. * Avoid opening the doors frequently or for extended periods. * Verify that the unit is not installed in a hot location (above 110°F). * Allow hot food to cool before placing it in the refrigerator. * Make sure the doors are closed correctly. * Check that the temperature control is set correctly, adjusting it one increment at a time if needed. * If the defrost cycle has recently completed, wait 30 minutes for the temperature to stabilize.

Why is ice not dispensing from my LG Refrigerator?
- C
  Christian WilliamsonAug 27, 2025
  If ice is not dispensing from your LG refrigerator, it could be due to a few reasons. First, ensure that all refrigerator doors are completely closed. If the dispenser is used infrequently, check the ice bin for clumps. A clogged delivery chute can also prevent dispensing; clear it with a plastic utensil after removing the ice bin. Finally, make sure the dispenser display is not locked by pressing and holding the Lock button for three seconds. If the ice bin is empty, it may take up to 90 minutes for new ice to be available.

Why is my LG Refrigerator cooling system running too much?
- K
  Kathryn MoralesAug 27, 2025
  There are several reasons why your LG refrigerator's cooling system might be running too much. Modern refrigerators require more operating time but use less energy. If the refrigerator was recently plugged in, it can take up to 24 hours to cool completely. Opening the door often or adding a large amount of food can also cause this. Make sure the doors are closed completely and the refrigerator is not installed in a hot location (above 110°F). Clean the condenser cover and vents with a vacuum cleaner.

Why does my LG LSXS26386 Refrigerator ice have a bad taste or odor?
- K
  kroseAug 29, 2025
  If the ice from your LG refrigerator has a bad taste or odor, it could be due to several reasons: * The water supply may contain minerals like sulfur. Installing a water filter might help. * If the icemaker was recently installed, throw away the old ice and make a new supply. * Improperly stored food in either compartment can cause odors to be absorbed by the ice; rewrap the food properly. * The interior of the refrigerator may need cleaning; refer to the Care and Cleaning section for instructions. * The ice storage bin might need cleaning; empty and wash the bin, discarding the old ice cubes.

Why is water dispensing slowly from my LG Refrigerator?
- R
  Ricardo WoodardAug 31, 2025
  Slow water dispensing from your LG refrigerator may be due to an exhausted water filter, which should be replaced approximately every six months. If you are using a reverse osmosis filtration system or have low house water supply pressure, contacting a plumber may be necessary.

Why is food freezing in the refrigerator compartment of my LG LSXS26386?
- A
  Anthony AndrewsSep 1, 2025
  Food freezing in the refrigerator compartment of your LG refrigerator can be caused by placing food with high water content near an air vent; rearrange these items. The refrigerator temperature control may also be set incorrectly; adjust it one increment at a time. Also, the refrigerator should not be operated in temperatures below 55°F (13°C).

Why is my LG LSXS26386 Refrigerator dispensing warm water?
- L
  lgreenSep 3, 2025
  If your LG refrigerator is dispensing warm water, it might be because the refrigerator was recently installed; allow 24 hours for the water storage tank to cool. If the water dispenser has been used recently, discard the first 10 oz. Ensure that the refrigerator is connected to a cold water pipe and not a hot water supply.

Why are ice crystals and frost forming on my frozen food in LG LSXS26386?
- C
  Christopher HernandezSep 4, 2025
  Ice crystals and frost can form on frozen food in your LG refrigerator when the doors are opened often or for long periods, allowing warm, humid air to enter. To reduce this, decrease how often and how long you open the doors.

  Samantha AlvaradoSep 6, 2025
  If the water from your LG refrigerator has a bad taste or odor, the water supply may contain minerals such as sulfur; installing a water filter may help. If the water filter has been exhausted, replace it approximately every six months. If the refrigerator was recently installed, dispense 2.5 gallons of water to remove trapped air and contaminants.
