Common LG Refrigerator Problems We Fix
1. Not cooling (the linear compressor issue)
Here is the honest version: many LG linear compressors from the last decade have a poor reliability record. The good news is they are often still under a 10-year sealed-system warranty, so the compressor part may be covered by LG and you pay only labour. Send your model and serial and we will tell you if yours is covered before you spend a cent.
2. Ice maker not working or freezing up
A common LG complaint, usually the ice maker assembly, a fill-tube frost issue, or the inlet valve.
3. Warm fridge with a cold freezer
Typically a defrost or evaporator-fan fault. We explain the whole thing in why a fridge runs warm while the freezer stays cold.
4. Control board, display, or noise
Board and fan faults are usually a component replacement rather than a whole-unit problem.
The Linear Compressor Truth
Before you replace an LG that will not cool, check the warranty. If the sealed system is still covered, the expensive part is free and you only pay for labour. That single check can be the difference between a small bill and buying a new fridge.
Is It Worth Repairing an LG?
If the compressor is under warranty, absolutely. Out of warranty, it comes down to the fault and the age of the unit, and we will give you the honest maths before you commit.
Models We Service
