LG Refrigerator Cooling Issues
Has your refrigerator stopped getting the job done? It only needs to handle one single thing — keep things cold. When it quits at that, your fridge just becomes a big waste of electricity! Food spoils faster, drinks get lukewarm, and ice cream never freezes. Although LG refrigerators in French door and side-by-side types are typically called out in connection with this issue, similar designs by other makers are equally prone to trouble. Fortunately, River City Appliance has the response for you when it comes to repairing any make of refrigerator.
It is Probably the Compressor
Every refrigerator requires a part named the compressor. As the name suggests, it compresses the fluid that makes your refrigerator work. A thermostat turns a compressor on or off, based on the inside temperature of the refrigerator. If the compressor becomes weak, your refrigerator gets warmer, no matter how much you change the thermostat.
Typically, a refrigerator compressor should endure about 10 years. Whenever the refrigerator coils are left really dusty or the fridge is in a close spot with little airflow for the heat made by the compressor to dissipate, then the unit is likely to quit after only 5 to 7 years. Consistent cleaning of the coils and maintaining airflow surrounding the refrigerator can help it last from 15 to 20 years.
When Compressors Go Kaputt
A broken compressor needs changing, although cooling worries may also be caused by a bad thermostat, an evaporator leak, or failing ’fridge seals. LG underwent a class-action lawsuit regarding compressor problems with its French door and side by side units made between 2014 and 2017. Because this is commonly a sign of a prone to trouble manufacturing run, leading to a lot of house calls, River City Appliance has a large number of LG refrigerator parts and compressors to meet the demands of our Folsom clients.
