Why Is My LG Refrigerator Not Cooling?

Dirty Condenser Coilsrefrigerator repair

This likely isn’t the cause if your refrigerator is brand new, but for older models, this is a common problem. This is because the condenser coils are located on the bottom of the fridge, where they can easily collect dirt and dust. Fortunately, this is a simple refrigerator repair—all you have to do is clean the coils.

Broken Condenser Fan Motor

Your refrigerator’s condenser fan moves the air through the coils and over the fridge’s compressor. If the motor stops working, your fridge can’t keep itself cool. This repair is more complex, so it’s best to call a refrigerator repair technician.

Defective Thermistor

The thermistor is responsible for monitoring the temperature in your refrigerator, and it sends the reading to its control board. In turn, the control board regulates your refrigerator’s compressor and evaporator fan. If the thermistor is misreading the temperature, this can prevent the fan from running when needed.

Broken Or Defective Compressor

Your LG refrigerator’s compressor is a motor. It’s responsible for compressing the refrigerant and circulating it through the evaporator fan and coils. A compressor is rarely responsible for your refrigerator not cooling, though, so be sure to check all the above parts first.

Defective Main Control Board

It’s possible a defective main control board could be the reason your refrigerator isn’t cooling properly, but it’s less likely than other issues. An experienced refrigerator repair technician will check for all the above problems first, as they’re much more common.
