If you notice that the camera does not work in the LG refrigerator, you need to figure out the causes of the problem.
South Korean appliances LG occupies a leading position in the market. Relatively low cost, modern functionality won the trust of many buyers. Refrigerators from LG have an attractive design that blends seamlessly with the rest of the appliances in the kitchen. But not only positive moments are noted by users.
LG Refrigerator Problems with No Frost System
Let’s consider typical malfunctions for LG models. Decide which chamber in the refrigerator has stopped working.
cooling chamber
Have you noticed that the products began to spoil? It’s not about the expiration date, it’s about the refrigerator. In addition, the other camera works “for two”, experiencing an increased load. Therefore, components and parts wear out faster.
Maybe it’s not broken. Check:
- Chamber doors. How tight is it closed? If the door does not close well, see if something is blocking it. Inspect the rubber seal – it should fit tightly to the body. If the seal is damaged or heavily soiled, it must be replaced.
- Fan in the department. The cooling fan is blocked. Its blades were overgrown with snow and ice. So, you need to urgently defrost the refrigerator – at least for a day.
Does the fan rotate normally, the door is closed, but there is no cold? There is probably a breakdown:
- If the compressor runs for no more than 5 seconds, and an oily puddle has formed under the refrigerator, the problem is in the motor. Need diagnostics to set the status of the motor-compressor. It can be repaired or replaced.
- When freon gas leaks, cooling problems also arise. The causes of the leak are different, in order to determine them, you need to distinguish between the “symptoms” of the problem. For example, wall swelling indicates a leak in the interior of the refrigerator. You will have to disassemble and repair the evaporator. Rusty smudges in the freezer area indicate a leak through the steel circuit. It will take the intervention of the master. In case of mechanical damage to the housing wall (if you “helped” the refrigerator to defrost), you will also have to restore the tightness.
Freezer
If the freezer compartment starts to leak, the temperature has risen, the first thing to do is check the temperature control. Maybe the values need to be adjusted.
What breakdowns could lead to problems with the freezer:
- motor-compressor. In a refrigerator with two motors, one of them could receive a high load. This often happens if the user sets the temperature as low as possible, while the room is hot. As a result, the motor turns on for 5 seconds and stops.
- Compressor starts but rest periods are longer than usual. Air sensor problem. It either does not work, or sends incorrect signals to the module. The sensor needs to be replaced. In the case of electromechanical control, it is necessary to replace the temperature sensor, which works on the same principle.
- Switch valve failure. At the same time, the freezer compartment works, but the cold is not enough. If the valve is blocked in one position, less frost enters one of the chambers. Inspect the valve.
- Refrigerant Leak Problemsas described above.
- Breakdown of the electronic module. The freezer just does not work, there are no other symptoms. The board needs repair.
What to do if one of the cameras does not work, look at the video:
Broken display
LG refrigerators are known for their electronic controls. Many models are equipped with displays. What can be the display malfunction:
- The scoreboard turned on, but the image is not fully visible, the numbers are shown in segments.
- The icon flashes on the display. This may be a temperature sensor, which indicates the inclusion of the compressor and the injection of cold. In other cases, you need to find out the value of the icon.
- Only part of the display flashes. Check wire connections between body and door. The connections may have loosened and need to be tightened.
If you turned on the refrigerator and found similar “glitches” on the scoreboard, reboot. Unplug the equipment from the network for 15-20 minutes, and then plug it in. If the values have not disappeared, it is necessary to carry out diagnostics, including the control board.
LG refrigerator is loud
Noisy operation is caused by problems with the motor-compressor. Perhaps the refrigerator is constantly working, but not freezing. Then you need to check and repair the motor, tighten its fasteners.
Now you know how to deal with refrigerator problems or find their causes. Remember that most problems are solved by simply defrosting the refrigerator. Make sure that the chamber door is tightly closed, do not overload the shelves with products.
