LG residential refrigerator problems | Forest River Forums
June 1, 2023 - I have a 2021 Rockwood Signature 8332SB that we recently bought. It has a large LG French door refrigerator that is problematic. We keep it on a seasonal campsite and everything has worked properly until the last two weeks. After being gone for a few days, upon our return, the freezer is showing 0 degrees and the top refrigerator is showing 60 degrees and food is ruined.

Do LG refrigerators still have compressor problems?
Between 2014 and 2019, the LG refrigerator compressor issue was highlighted by a number of consumers. LG was forced to face a class-action lawsuit for making defective compressors. The lawsuit was settled in September 2020. We have recently seen a decrease in this problem. However, users continue to report the compressor problem, which is still higher than normal.

r/appliancerepair on Reddit: 2.5 year old LG French door fridge not cooling
October 13, 2023 -

This is our 3rd fridge in 9 years.

The same thing happened 2.5 years ago.

Our LG French door fridge with bottom freezer stopped cooling yesterday. The Smart Diagnosis says there are no codes. We emptied it, unplugged and flipped the breaker and then plugged it back in and left it for 13+ hours. Temp went up 11 degrees inside the fridge.

Repair people can't come out for more than a week and charge $150 just to diagnose the problem.

Do we wait or do we buy yet another fridge and take advantage of black Friday deals?

Anything else we could try?

r/Appliances on Reddit: Are LG refrigerators really that bad?
May 28, 2023 -

We need a counter depth fridge for our kitchen. Local appliance shop was recommending either an LG or a Fridigaire French door style fridge. The particular LG has door in door and an extra drawer that can be either fridge or freezer temps. Price $3100.

We left to think it over and in the meantime all I read on Reddit is “don’t buy LG or Samsung”.

Wire cutter generally recommends LG based on their survey data.

I get that they’re all junk… but I’d like my $3k to go as far as possible. Should be we just get a Bosch 800 instead?

Condenser Coils are Dirty · If the refrigerator is not cold enough the condenser coils may be dirty. The condenser is like a radiator and must stay clean in order to dissipate the heat which was removed from the inside of the refrigerator. As the coils get dirtier the refrigerator becomes less efficient, which makes it work harder to cool down. If the coils are dirty enough, the unit will never be cold enough and will not be able to cool the inside of the refrigerator to the proper temperature. · Evaporator Fan Motor · If the refrigerator is not cold enough, the evaporator fan motor might have failed. Every refrigerator has a set of coils called and evaporator. The refrigerator may have one or more evaporator fan motor(s) depending on the model and evaporator locations. The evaporator fan motor circulates the cold air from the coils thru the compartment. If there is only one evaporator it is in the freezer side. If the fan is not working, no cold air will get to the refrigerator compartment. The freezer may still get cold. · Condenser Fan Motor · If the refrigerator is not cold enough there might be something caught in the condenser fan motor blade, or the condenser fan motor might be defective. The condenser fan motor draws air over the condenser coils to cool them. The condenser fan motor is located underneath the refrigerator near the back. Pull the refrigerator out from the wall and remove the access panel to access it. · Start Relay · If the refrigerator is not cold enough, the start relay may be defective. The start relay is a small device mounted to the side of the compressor. It provides power to the run winding along with the start winding for a split second at start-up to help get the compressor started. If the start relay is defective the compressor may run intermittently or not at all and the refrigerator will not get cold enough. The start relay should be replaced if defective. · Temperature Control Thermostat · If the refrigerator does not get cold enough the temperature control thermostat might be defective. The thermostat allows power to flow through to the compressor, evaporator fan and condenser fan. If the cooling system fans and compressor are running, but the refrigerator or freezer is not cooling correctly check for an airflow or defrost system problem. · Start Capacitor · If the refrigerator isn't cold enough the compressor might be having difficulty starting. The start capacitor serves as a battery to give the compressor a little boost during start-up. If the start capacitor is burned out the compressor might not be able to start and run as often as it should. Test the start capacitor first with a capacitance meter, they don't fail often. If it's defective, replace it. · Thermistor · If the refrigerator is not cold enough the thermistor might be defective. The thermistor is a sensor which monitors the air temperature. It is connected to the control board. If the thermistor is defective the refrigerator does not cool or may cool continuously. · Temperature Control Board · If the refrigerator is not cold enough the temperature control board might be defective. The temperature control board provides the voltage to the fan motors and compressor. These boards are often misdiagnosed. Check all other components to be certain this is the cause of the problem. · Compressor · If the refrigerator is not cold enough, the compressor might be defective. The compressor is a motor which compresses the refrigerant and circulates the refrigerant through the evaporator and condenser coils. There are several other components which are more likely to be defective if the compressor doesn't work. If the compressor itself is defective a licensed professional will need to replace it. · Main Control Board · If the refrigerator is not cold enough the main control board might be defective. This is not common. Check the defrost system, cooling fans, and cooling controls first. · UPDATE 3/3/16 · asking additional question on one with an accepted answer is almost a sure way for it not to be seen. If the answer that's accepted does not answer your problem, ask a new question with your specific problem and symptoms. · UPDATE 7/13,19 · Thanks to LKT for making us aware of this · A class action lawsuit claims there is a “latent defect" with LG linear compressors which causes them to prematurely fail. "Despite its knowledge of the compressor defect, sold and continues to sell the LG refrigerators without alerting purchasers to the problem." ... declined to elaborate. · https://www.girardsharp.com/work-pending... · Check the LG refrigerator not cooling page for updates as well.

My repairman isnt going to be too happy. he has had this piece of crap LG french door dual evap nightmare for over a month now. Tried a new evaperator, worked for 2 days then quit again. Tried a new circuit board no good. Compressor good. Lines all good and holding freon. Evap fans good. Will not cool or freeze. $2200 Bucks down the drain. And get this...it's SIX years old, just like all the others on here....makes you wonder, doesn't it? · My Bro in law in another state told me an LG rep told him they are making them to last...six years. That's the life of one. So we're phlocked. · Repairmans at a loss. He sold me a 1979 USA Made Hotpoint no frost for $100 to use while this is getting fixed, it wont win any beauty contests but it works perfectly...38 YEARS OLD!!! · I'm going to buy a Whirlpool bottom freezer (NO french doors) from him. ONE evaperator, NO filter, · and MADE IN USA. No more Korean $hit for US! If you buy Kenmore MAKE SURE you find out who made it! If it's LG or Samsung...RUN,,,dont walk...AWAY.

Answer (1 of 4): I would say the compressor is probably the worst in the industry as they went from a typical compressor to some sort of weird side valve to make the compressor quiet but the breakdown level went up.
