LG Refrigerator Cooling Issues
Has your refrigerator stopped getting the job done? It only needs to take care of a single thing — keep things cold. When it fails at that, your ’fridge just becomes a gigantic waste of electricity! Food spoils more quickly, drinks become lukewarm, and ice cream never freezes. Even though LG refrigerators in side by side and French door types are often mentioned in connection with this difficulty, similar designs by other manufacturers are also prone to trouble. Fortunately, River City Appliance has the solution for you when it comes to fixing any model of refrigerator.
What’s a Compressor?
The refrigerator compressor moves the coolant that keeps the inside of the appliance cold. By compressing this coolant, the compressor begins the condensation and evaporation cycle that lets the ’fridge operate. A refrigerator thermostat measures the temperature inside and transmits a signal that turns the compressor off and on. If the compressor weakens or stops, this process slows or stops completely, meaning the temperature inside gets progressively warmer or simply quits being cold.
Usually, a refrigerator compressor should endure about 10 years. When the refrigerator coils are left uncleaned or the refrigerator is in a close spot with little airflow for the heat produced by the compressor to dissipate, then the machine is likely to quit working after only 5 to 7 years. Regular cleaning of the coils and maintaining airflow surrounding the refrigerator can help it last from 15 to 20 years.
When Compressors Go Kaputt
Failing compressors need replacement. Before River City Appliance replaces a compressor, we always test for other reasons why the ’fridge might not be running. A bad thermostat, worn-out refrigerator seals, or an evaporator leak might also create cooling worries. LG refrigerators in the side-by-side and French door models are known to have this difficulty, so River City Appliance always stores LG refrigerator parts on hand in our warehouse.
