     If you find water on your floor in front of the freezer door, look for a blockage in the drain line from the freezer evaporator to the drain pan. Typically, this water results from the freezer's defrost cycle, during which ice melts off the evaporator coil. The defrost cycle occurs approximately every 12 hours.

    • Inspect the water valve that feeds the ice maker and water dispenser for leaks.
    • Check the water filter housing for cracks, and if you purchased a water filter from Amazon, check to make sure the filter is fitting in the housing correctly

  • LG Refrigerator Is Not Cooling.

    LG Bad Compressor Lawsuit

    The prevalence of compressor issues in LG refrigerators has been widely reported, prompting concerns among consumers and industry experts alike. Several factors contribute to the occurrence of compressor failures in LG refrigerators. One key factor is the design and construction of the compressors themselves. In some cases, design flaws or manufacturing defects may lead to premature compressor failure, resulting in reduced reliability and lifespan of the appliance. Environmental factors such as temperature fluctuations and humidity levels can also impact the performance and longevity of refrigeration compressors. LG refrigerators operating in environments with extreme temperatures or high humidity may experience accelerated wear and tear on critical components, including the compressor, leading to more frequent failures.

Begin troubleshooting by examining the socket for cracks and check for 120 volts at the socket. In older refrigerators experiencing cooling problems alongside light issues, check the thermostat to ensure it is operating correctly.

    Samsung refrigerators often face the issue of ice makers freezing up, primarily due to design flaws in the ice maker construction.
