If you notice that the camera does not work in the LG refrigerator, you need to understand the causes of the problem.
South Korean LG technology occupies a leading position in the market. Relatively low cost, modern functionality have won the trust of many buyers. LG refrigerators feature an attractive design that blends seamlessly with the rest of the kitchen appliances. But not only positive points are noted by users.
LG refrigerator issues with No Frost
Let's consider typical malfunctions for models of the AlGi brand. Decide which camera in the refrigerator has stopped working.
Cooling chamber
Noticed that the products began to deteriorate? It's not about the expired shelf life, but in the operation of the refrigerator. In addition, another camera works "for two", experiencing increased load. Therefore, components and parts wear out faster.
Maybe it's not a breakdown. Check:
- Camera doors. How tightly closed it is. If the door doesn’t close well, see if something is bothering her. Inspect the rubber seal - it should be sealed against the body. In case of damage or severe contamination of the seal, a replacement is necessary.
- Fan in the compartment. The cooling fan is blocked. Its blades are covered with snow and ice. So, you urgently need to defrost the refrigerator - at least for a day.
The fan rotates normally, the door is closed, but there is no cold? Probably a breakdown occurred:
- If the compressor works for no more than 5 seconds, and an oily puddle has formed under the refrigerator, this is the motor. Need diagnostics to set the status of the motor compressor. It can be repaired or replaced.
- Leaking freon gas also causes cooling problems. The causes of the leak are different, to determine them, you need to distinguish between the "symptoms" of the problem.
For example, bloating indicates a leak in the inside of the refrigerator. Have to disassemble and repair the evaporator. Rusty smudges in the freezer area indicate a leak through the steel circuit. It will take the intervention of the master. If the case wall is mechanically damaged (if you “helped” the refrigerator defrost), you will also have to restore the tightness.
Freezer
If the freezer starts to leak, the temperature rises, first check the temperature regulator. Maybe the values need to be adjusted.
What breakdowns could lead to problems with the freezer:
- Motor compressor. In a refrigerator with two motors, one of them could receive a high load. This often happens if the user sets the temperature as low as possible while the room is hot. As a result, the motor turns on for 5 seconds and trails off.
- The compressor starts, but the “rest” breaks are longer than usual. The problem with the air sensor. It either does not work, or sends incorrect signals to the module. The sensor needs to be replaced. In the case of electromechanical control, it is necessary to replace the temperature sensor, which works on the same principle.
- Switch valve malfunction. At the same time, the freezer compartment works, but the cold is not enough. If the valve is blocked in one position, less frost enters one of the chambers. Inspect the valve.
- Refrigerant leak problemsas described above.
- Electronic module failure. The freezer just does not work, there are no other symptoms. The board needs repairs.
Display broken
LG refrigerators are known for their electronic control. Many models are equipped with displays. What display malfunction may indicate:
- The panel turned on, but the image is not fully visible, the numbers are shown in segments.
- The icon flashes on the display. This may be a temperature sensor, which indicates the inclusion of the compressor and forcing cold. In other cases, you need to find out the meaning of the icon.
- Only part of the display flashes. Check the wire connections between the cabinet and the door. The connections may have loosened and need to be tightened.
If you turned on the refrigerator and found such "glitches" on the display, reboot. Disconnect the equipment from the network for 15-20 minutes, and then reconnect. If the values do not disappear, it is necessary to carry out diagnostics including the control board.
LG fridge is loud
The cause of noisy work is the problem with the motor-compressor. Perhaps the refrigerator is constantly working, but not freezing. Then you need to check and repair the motor, tighten its mounts.
Now you know how to deal with the problems of the refrigerator or find their causes. Remember that most problems are solved by simply defrosting the refrigerator. Make sure that the chamber door is tightly closed; do not overload the shelves with food.
