LFC23760SW is DEFECTIVE! Woke up to a dark fridge that didn't work. Paid $100 to find out it's a fuse. Apparently this is the same issue for ALOT of other people I've seen posting on the internet. Even though it's a 20 cent fuse, you have to replace the ENTIRE $200 control board. I say this is a defect (intentional?) built in to happen exactly 13 months after purchase.

7 Months later.... the fridge is working. I've had to replace the fuse three times now. If you need to replace the fuse see this link:http://www.fixya.com/support/t3844322-fi... There's a link there to some pictures on Amazon which will make identifying the offending fuse a bit easier and some directions to help you through the task. It's a little intimidating at first but with some patience and care (i.e. Unplug the fridge and be careful with the icemaker line!) you should be OK.

I ran a dedicated power line to the fridge which may have helped. The neighbor cut some branches by the power lines which may have helped.

I think the last thing I'd like to do is install one of those Eaton/Cutler Hammer whole-house surge protectors at the fuse panel in the basement. Not sure if it will make a difference but it can't hurt to add a layer of protection to all of the circuits in the house. Good luck and save some bucks, people! I'm tickled pink that some folks were able to save their LG Fridges for just a few bucks with my post. In this economy every buck counts. Peace all. DC73 7 Months later.... the fridge is working.

The EXACT same thing happen to our fridge18 months after purchasing. Of course warranty has run out and circuit board isn't covered on parts warranty. Same horrible service with LG and repair men saying they had to replace the whole circuit board and it would cost $250-500 to replace. My husband and I took your advice and replaced the fuse exactly how you said...thanks to your instructions. Fridge is working now for about 12 hours, but am awaiting the next blow out. THIS FRIDGE IS HORRIBLE. Advise all friends/family to never buy this fridge or any other LG fridge. A little research of complaints and seeing that there is a class action law suit exists on the model # right above this fridge will clearly tell you that. Thanks deecee though for the temp fix.

Our LFC23760SW purchased 8/15/2008 was fine this morning and dark now. Known good power, seems like a fuse to me. LG played hot potato and bounced us to Sears where we were on hold for a half hour to find out it's not covered and the soonest they can get someone to out house (capital city of Wisconsin) in Saturday. I can replace the board myself (electronics background) if I can get one. Our LFC23760SW purchased 8/15/2008 was fine this morning and dark now. Known good power, seems like a fuse to me.
