Look at the cspc.gov site for the models in the recall in the US and then you may have to contact the company (since not all serial numbers have the issue).
I found one recall here: http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml05/05213.html and it only lists LG models that start LRFC from ~2005

A more recent recall is here: http://www.current.com.au/2010/03/26/article/LG-recalls-six-refrigerators-due-to-electric-shock-risk/PQSIMXEOAH.html from March 2010

I hope this helps.

sounds like the magnet that detects the door closed has failed

Contact LG customer support for this as there is a recall on this problem.

You need to replace the freezer fan.

Call LG this is covered under your warranty if unit is under 1 yr. old.

Pull the drawers put and cover the cold air vent (small hole at back wall) with tape ...problem solved!

This could be many things. It could be a main board problem or loose wiring connection on the display without playing poke and hope and spending money for parts, you need to call an authorized LG tech to service your unit. I know this isin't what you want to hear but, in this case it is your best bet.

You have a freon leak in the evaporatop coil. Call an authorized LG tech and this is covered under the sealed system warranty

YOU NEED TO REMOVE THE BOTTOM DOOR, BASKET, ICEMAKER IF YOU HAVE ONE THEN THE BACK PANNEL PULLS OUT FROM THE CENTER AFTER THE COVER IS REMOVED YOU REMOVE THE SCREWS HOLDING THE INNER PANEL ON IF THERE IS ONE AND ONCE YOU SEE THE EVAPORATOR LOCATE THE SENSOR USUALLY ITS STRAPED TO THE EVAPORATOR, CUT THE STRAPS CAREFULLY THERE IS A LITTLE FINGER ON THE WIRE PLUG YOU NEED TO PUSH DOWN TO UNPLUG IT If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/dude_653d05454b389bba

That should be a covered repair. There was a safety bulletin on that. Call Sears and complain. Tech should have known that.

Replace the icemaker.
If the ice maker mold is tan or silver they are defective.
Moisture gets into the head unit and jams the gears.

You can remove the icemaker and let it dethaw for a day and it might start working for awhile.

The new redesigned icemakers are brown in color.

Hopefully the switch on the side of the I/M is turned on..

Hi,

The brass slide locks are a kind of surface mounted deadbolt. They are available at home centers and hardware stores. Get ones that are at least 3 inches long with a 1 inch throw. Mount them three quarters back from the edge of the door to be sure to engage the wood backed edge. Notch the door trim to accept the bolt reciever. Install one at the top and the bottom. On the bottom one make sure it goes into the floor 1 inch. With these brass bolts and the plastic pins you can let the wind slam the door, or your drunk buddies, and not worry about snapping that woosie plastic pin.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!
