LG Freezer Repair in Philadelphia

Some background for LG freezer owners: LG's freezer capacity is mainly found in its French-door and bottom-freezer refrigerators, since the brand offers only a few standalone freezers.

Start with failed defrost sensors or heaters, evaporator covered in frost, drawer ice makers jamming, and gaskets and drawer slides; that is where LG freezers usually give out. When people call, they typically report one of these: back panel frosting up, drawer not shutting completely, and ice maker no longer making ice. If frost coats the back wall of the freezer drawer, the defrost system has probably failed, and thawing it by hand helps for only a few days. A freezer that hums yet stays warm often has a bad start relay or a stopped condenser fan, and both cost far less than a compressor.

On these LG models the freezer evaporator cools the fresh-food compartment too, which is why a freezer defrost failure is often first noticed as a warm fridge. The drawer ice maker is packed into a tight space, and after a power outage the cubes can fuse and jam it. Replacing drawer slides, sensors or defrost heaters is a moderate repair that is usually sensible on a unit that still cools well otherwise.

Steep, narrow basement stairs make moving a freezer hard work, so we diagnose and repair down there whenever the job allows. A freezer visit checks the condenser fan, the start relay and the defrost system before the sealed system is discussed.

Whether the job is the drawer ice makers jamming or anything else, the estimate is written, itemized and approved before work begins.

A freezer thermometer and an inexpensive power-loss alarm are the best protection for a unit nobody opens every day. If freezer temperature too warm sounds familiar, note the model number and any code before you book a diagnosis.
