Test Switch Operation Description
1 Time Press Start compressor instantly with fan motor. If the fan motor is faulty, it will either stop or run for a 20-second interval.
2 Time Press Start defrost heater and stop working compressor and fan motor. The defrost heater starts if the defrost temperature is below 0 degrees Celsius and will remain on until the freezer temperature goes to 13 degrees Celsius.
LG Inverter Refrigerator Troubleshooting and FAQs

LG Inverter Refrigerator Troubleshooting and FAQs

If the Refrigerator Is Not Cooling

  1. Check the Power Supply:
    • Ensure the refrigerator is connected to a power source.
    • Verify that the display panel is powered on (if applicable).
  2. Inspect Display and PCB for Errors:
    • With Display:
      • Check the display for any error codes.
      • If an error code is active, the display buttons will not function.
      • Refer to the error code list in the user manual for interpretation.
    • Without Display:
      • Inspect the main PCB (printed circuit board).
      • Look for red and green LED blinks indicating an error.
      • Refer to the error code list for troubleshooting.
  3. If No Error Is Displayed:
    • Check Compressor Status:
      • Confirm whether the compressor is running.
      • If not running, locate the test switch on the main PCB and press it once.
      • This action will activate all fans, displays, and the compressor.
  4. If Compressor Runs But No Cooling:
    • Inspect for Refrigerant Leaks:
      • Look for oily spots around the pipes or suspected leak areas.
      • Use a soap solution to identify leaks by applying pressure (R600a refrigerant system).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  1. What Should I Do If My Refrigerator Shows an Error Code?
    • Refer to the error code list in the manual to identify the issue.
    • Errors typically indicate issues like sensor faults, fan problems, or compressor errors.
  2. Why Are the Buttons on the Display Panel Not Working?
    • This occurs when an error is active. Resolve the error to restore button functionality.
  3. How Can I Confirm if the Compressor Is Operational?
    • Press the test switch on the main PCB. If the compressor runs along with fans and displays, the compressor is functioning.
  4. How Can I Identify Refrigerant Leaks?
    • Inspect for oily residue near suspected leak areas.
    • Use a soap solution and apply pressure to detect bubbles indicating leaks.
  5. What Should I Check if There Is No Cooling but the Compressor Is Running?
    • Verify proper refrigerant levels and check for any leakage.
    • Ensure fans inside the refrigerator and condenser are operating.

Note: Always consult a professional technician if you are unable to resolve the issue or for complex repairs.
