LG Refrigerator Cooling Problems
Has your refrigerator stopped getting the job done? It only needs to take care of a single thing — making food cold. When it fails at that, your refrigerator is just a giant waste of electricity! Food spoils quicker, drinks get lukewarm, and ice cream never freezes. Even though LG refrigerators in side-by-side and French door types are typically mentioned in connection with this issue, similar designs by other manufacturers are also problematic. Fortunately, River City Appliance is fully equipped when it comes to working on any model of refrigerator.
What’s a Compressor?
Every refrigerator has a part called the compressor. As the name indicates, it pressurizes the coolant that makes the refrigerator work. A thermostat turns the compressor on or off, based on the internal temperature of the ’fridge. If the compressor becomes weak, your refrigerator gets warmer, no matter how much you change the thermostat.
Usually, a refrigerator compressor should endure about 10 years. If the refrigerator coils are left really dusty or the ’fridge is in a closed area with little airflow for the heat produced by the compressor to dissipate, then the appliance will likely stop working after only 5 to 7 years. Regularly scheduled cleaning of the coils and maintaining airflow near the refrigerator can help it last from 15 to 20 years.
When Compressors Go Kaputt
Dying compressors require changing. Before River City Appliance changes a compressor, we always look for other reasons why your refrigerator might not be functional. An evaporator leak, a faulty thermostat, or worn out refrigerator seals may also cause cooling issues. LG refrigerators in the French door and side-by-side models are known to have this problem, so River City Appliance consistently keeps LG refrigerator parts on hand in our warehouse.
