My LG refrigerator is not getting any power. It's dead and even the lights aren't working. The outlet works and the fuses on the control board at the top seem to be fine. Any ideas?

Check the fuse on main control board its solder in in main board

Did you have any power surges in the house? Any thunder storms?? even if you are not using a microwave, but it is plugged in , you see the clock?? That means it is getting power and running the clock so while you may not be cooking in it, it is actually using power to run the clock functions. So, if there was a power surge, it damages a part on the main board called the Low voltage transformer. It takes the 120 volts from the wall and drops it down to the voltages the board needs to operate, sometimes 5,12 24 or maybe 30 volts. If the primnary winding gets damaged from a surge of some sort. it will no longer light up if that small transformer was damaged. That can happen without even blowing the fuse as the small wires in the transformer were never meant to carry the 15 or 20 amps the fuse is rated at. So the transformer goes bad and the unit is dead but no blown fuse. Have to check the primary winding of the low volt transformer to see if it has continuity. If not, will need new main circuit board. Sorry But $$$$$

Please send me the serial and model number of your fridge and I'll get back to you asap.

if the inside light works then call in a technician as the cause could be a control board , thermostat or failed compressor

Probably a bad fuse on the main board. Fuse is not replaceable so either you have do a workaround (search LG refrigerator fuse repair for several fix videos and how-to's) or you have to replace the whole control board (part EBR41531302 I believe, but double check with your the part vendor before ordering).

Check the fuse by pulling the refrigerator out, unplugging, taking off back control board panel, and checking the fuse for continuity.

If you have no lights or hear the motor running, I would check the house circuit breaker first and measure the voltage at the outlet. If that is within specs then the one thing that could cause your problem in the refrigerator is the power control board P/N: 6871JB2047A

If there is not lights or anything in the refrigerator, then you aren't getting power. Start out checking the outlet - if you don't have a multimeter to check it, use a hair dryer plugged in to that outlet to see if it will work. If it doesn't then it is between that outlet and the main circuit breaker box or even a bad circuit breaker.

If it does work or you have lights in your refrigerator it is probably either the starting capacitor, start relay or compressor.

LG refrigerators are more sensitive to power fluctuations than other models and we have had to replace a lot of starting caps and relays - but sometimes it is the compressor.

Hope this helps!

More than likely the main control board has failed.

If it feels like the whole thing is dead in the water, then it is probably your fuse in the back. always include the year and the make of your unit. then people can help more. fuses on modern refrigs are mounted on the circuit board in the back and have to be soldered off and on.
