The LG fridges are all controlled by the board. Depending on the year of your unit, the unit will go into defrost once every 12 hours on the older boards, and once every 24 hours on the new ones. The older boards, were 12 hours, these were also the ones that had the problem. On the back of your unit, open the panel that covers the board, if it is 6871JB1375A it is old and could be the cause for the problem. You will need the xxxx1375D this is the modified board that should solve the issues.

Do you have other appliance or other things on the same circuit? If not your refrigerator compressor may be shorting to ground causing the breaker to trip. Test the compressor with instructions below. Unplug the refrigerator and remove the back panel that covers the compressor. There should be 3 wires going inside the cover of the compressor. Mark all 3 and mark their location so if compressor is OK you can put them back in same order. The plastic cover may snap on and you may need to squeeze the sides to unlock the cover and sometimes there is a metal clip holding the cover in place. Remove the cover. May look hard but it's simple. There will be three connections under the cover and 2 will go through the start relay. Unplug them leaving the three prongs exposed. They may be marked R =Run, S=Start and C=Common. Set your meter on continuity and then begin by testing 2 at a time until you have checked S to R and R to C an C to S and S to R again. You should get a reading all the way around. If no reading between any of the pairs as you go around you should get no reading between any two the compressor has an open winding and is defective. Then if it passes that test then touch one probe to R and the other to the copper pipes or clean metal on outside of compressor, then S to metal outside and C to metal outside. If you get a reading this way even just a little. The compressor is a burnout. Then let me know what you find. Thanks, Sea Breeze
Hello - Generally speaking, Frigidaire refrigerators do not have a way to tighten door handles. I would suggest contacting a professional due to either the screws are not secured all the way through or they may have to take multiple layers off to correct the issue.
