My only guess is that there must be a relay inside the control panel that (like many relays) arced ar one time and partially welded itself in the on position. Good quality relays are plated with a high temperature melting point metal to prevent this. Being LG is Goldstar (a Korean company) they most likely use the cheapest relays. To solve this issue the relay needs a hard knock to it. (Don't hit it so hard as to break the circuit-board) :)

Hi can I know the model capacity GR252 FDS refrigerator?

Question edited for clarity.Question moved from Refrigerators to Goldstar Dehumidifier.Just Answer, says it pulls straight out.Check if it was on the Recall list? Melted plastic would stop it coming out. It was listed as a fire hazard.https://www.google.com/search?q=Gold+Star+3850A20500FTrying to find a manual for it, but your 'model' number seems flawed.https://www.google.com/search?q=Gold+Star+3850A20500F+manual..

Have an appliance parts supplier advise you.

If you google; 'Goldstar Fridge GR-652HQC spares' many options, depending on your country are available

Most home Microwaves draw about 12-14 amps. You could figure your wattage at about 1680 watts. Calculated by factoring the voltage of most units 120V times the typical amperage draw of 12-14 amps. so wattage is volts times amps or (12-14 X 120) 1440-1680 watts

either the disc you inserted hasn't got a menu. the only thing DVD's do this is because there is no Menu provided in the DVD DISC. In the other case, where it remains "read" the disc might not be clean, scratched, dusty or simply incompatible with your DVD Player. Always clean discs before and after playing them in your DVD Player. Hope this helps, good luck!

Normaly they sell the complete circuit board for these units. If you have a part that is blown out, it is very probable that there are other parts that are damaged as well.

During warranty, they do not normaly fix these boards. They replace the board with a new one.

I would be looking at replacing the complete board. What will most likely happen and I have seen it often, is in this type of case, when a blown part is replaced, it blows again, because the parts that caused the failure must be also changed. I don't think you have the necessary tools, training, and design information about the circuit board to troubleshoot it properly to know the condition of all the other parts involved.

Sometimes there boards are rather expensive. You may find it more feasible to buy a new unit.
