I HAVE A 250V/9A FUSE TOWARDS THE BOTTOM OF THE BOARD THAT HAS BURNED OUT..I CAME HOME FROM WORK AND THE FRIDGE WASN'T WORKING. OPENED UP THE CIRCUIT BOARD PANEL AND THERE IT WAS.. CAN THE FUSE BE REPLACED OR DO I HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE CIRCUIT BOARD? THANK YOU

I have the exact same part burned at the bottom. I just used a long nose plier and bend the bottom so it touches the print board circuit. It works. I guess I could also use a soldering iron to fix it. But will see if this temp solution works or not.

it is a 250V 15 amp. clip the fuse off the wire, close, and solider in a new one. Terrible design. LG should have to replace free or be sued !

Radio Shak had it. I just did the same thing with mine and figured id try and give it a go myself. Turned out, $20 at Radioshak for a solder gun, fuse holder, new fuse and an hour of my time was worth it.
The difference between a "Fast acting" and "Slow burn" (also known as Time-Delay fuse) is one is for a resistive load, and the other an inductive load. Resistive loads are like lights and circuit boards, where the amperage is relatively constant. Inductive loads (time-delay) are motors, things that require a large in-rush current to get moving like the compressor on your fridge. Hope this helps.

Unplug fridge.
Open panel on back of fridge (the one at hip height that says Service Panel Only - Do Not Remove, blah blah blah)

Replace fuse with 9A 250V slow-burn fuse. I used a gray fuse harness from Radio Shack so that if the fuse needs to be replaced again I can just pop in a new one without doing the soldering over.
I nuked the original fuse, the end-caps and the wires that went from the end-caps/fuse to the motherboard. I replace those wires with some I scavenged off a fresh thermal fuse (also bought at RS, just needed the wires themselves which seemed to be the same diameter/gauge as the original leads) and ran them from the motherboard to the wire harness.
So far, so good!
Good luck to you.

The fuse is absolutely replaceable, not sure to what the other poster is referring. I just replaced the fuse today (not the main computer, nor the motherboard, nor anything else but the fuse and the approx 1/2" metal wires/leads running from the motherboard to the fuse.
I did mention that others were having problems with this unit to LG Customer Service at that phone number and they were unable to help me out other than to say, Sorry, you don't have an extended warranty on your 15 month old fridge? That's too bad. We feel really bad about that....
Good info about the lights staying on in the fridge though they should be off if the doors are open. Sounds like a larger problem if the lights are always on.
LG's suggestion was that the fridge go on a dedicated line and breaker from your main panel. It's probably good advice and it is advice that I will follow up with a call to my electrician.

Here is a little more review:
Unplug fridge. Pull out from wall. Be careful not to stress/break ice-maker line if installed.

Use a hot iron. (but don't burn yourself).
So far, so good!
If still working in a few hours enjoy a cold beverage... you just saved yourself a lot of $$! The company LG recommended to buy parts was closed (it was a Saturday) and HHGregg was open but they wanted $273 for a replacement motherboard. A trip to RS even if you had to buy a soldering iron and solder is still cheaper than that.
Good luck to you.

I have the same issue - along with 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.

I have Phonic 620 and ran into similar problem few times. When it turned on a blue LED is lit but there is no sound output to speakers. In my case it was a fuse issue. On the back side there is aluminum heat sink. Open it slowly, be carefull since there are many wires connected to that board. There will be 2 fuses toward bottom of the board. Both are 1A 250v. Just replace burned one.
Hope it helped.

I opened the back found out that the circuit board slid out easily and at the bottom is a 2A 250V fuze which was burned out. A $2.50 replacement from Ace hardware fit in nicely and the TV works perfectly now.

Hi, If the fuse physically fits into your unit then it will work. However- - - WARNING! Although 6.3 amps on a 250v fuse will allow the current to flow it will not afford you the circuit protection you require for a 125v circuit. If the circuit develops a fault then there is a danger that you burn out the circuit before the fuse. As you have already blown one fuse I would suggest tracking down the fault before you do any thing else.
