LG Refrigerator Will Not Stay Cold
Has your refrigerator stopped getting cold? Is it lukewarm at best? Does your food perish rapidly? Is your freezer rarely frosty? These are all signs of a failing ’fridge, but we can get it working again. LG fridges in the side-by-side and French door models are well-known for having this difficulty, but other makers also report problems. River City Appliance has a solution for you if your refrigerator does not stay cool.
It is Probably the Compressor
All refrigerators have a compressor. As the name indicates, it compresses the liquid that makes the refrigerator work. A thermostat turns the compressor off or on based on the inside temperature of the refrigerator. If the compressor gets weak, your refrigerator gets warm, no matter how much you modify the thermostat.
Normally, a refrigerator compressor should last approximately 10 years. Whenever the refrigerator coils are left really dirty or the ’fridge is in a close area with little air for the heat generated by the compressor to dissipate, then the appliance is likely to quit working correctly after only five to seven years. Regularly scheduled cleaning of the coils and keeping airflow near the refrigerator might help it last from fifteen to twenty years.
When Compressors Stop
A busted compressor needs changing, but cooling worries might also be caused by a bad thermostat, an evaporator leak, or failed fridge seals. LG underwent a class-action lawsuit because of compressor problems with its French door and side-by-side units sold between 2014 and 2017. Since this is typically a sign of a troublesome manufacturing run, leading to a lot of house calls, River City Appliance has a considerable supply of LG refrigerator parts and compressors to meet the demands of our Carmichael customers.
