LG Refrigerator Does Not Refrigerate
Has your refrigerator stopped getting cold? Is it lukewarm at best? Does your food perish rapidly? Is your freezer seldom icy? These are the signs of a failing ’fridge, but it can be repaired. LG fridges in the side by side and French door models are famous for having this difficulty, but other makers also report issues. River City Appliance has the solution for you if your refrigerator does not stay cool.
It is Probably the Compressor
The refrigerator has a part named the compressor. As the name suggests, it compresses the liquid that makes the refrigerator work. A thermostat turns the compressor off and on, based on the internal temperature of the refrigerator. If the compressor gets weak, a refrigerator gets warmer, no matter how much you adjust the thermostat.
Normally, a refrigerator compressor should last about ten years. Whenever the refrigerator coils are left especially unclean or the fridge is in a tight location with little air for the heat produced by the compressor to dissipate, then the unit is likely to quit working right after only 5 to 7 years. Scheduled cleaning of the coils and keeping airflow around the refrigerator might help it last from fifteen to twenty years.
When Compressors Go Kaputt
Dying compressors need changing. Before River City Appliance changes the compressor, we always look for other reasons why your ’fridge might not be working. An evaporator leak, a faulty thermostat, or leaking refrigerator seals may also create cooling worries. LG refrigerators in the French door and side by side models are known to have this problem, so River City Appliance always has LG refrigerator parts on hand at our warehouse.
