    LG refrigerator compressor problems

    I’ve seen a lot of fairly new and quite expensive LG refrigerators simply stop cooling due to their “linear” compressors failing. It’s an unusual failure because the compressor and fans are all running, but it’s just not cooling well. In other brands this is normally due to the sealed system having lost refrigerant due to…

    Samsung Ice Makers

    I seem to be one of the only appliance tech’s in the area that will work on Samsung appliances. This doesn’t mean I like them, I don’t, but I have had limited luck with repairing them so I’ll keep answering the call to do so. Many Samsung refrigerators have issues with their ice makers. If…

  • Ice not dispensing out of the door.

    Ice not dispensing out of the door.

    Customer has a KRSF705HPS0 Whirlpool Refrigerator. The complaint was that the ice was not dispensing out of the door. Upon diagnosis I saw that the coupling that connects the ice bucket to the inner door had become worn down to the point where it was just spinning metal on metal. I replaced the coupling and…

    Happy Customer Picture

    I’ve been working on this Model #2537041341B Kenmore refrigerator for a few weeks now. The complaint was of frozen water in ice tray and no ice production. If you look at this picture of the ice maker you will see that the water inlet tube is frozen solid. This typically happens because the inlet valve…

  • Ice dispenser motor not engaging.

    Ice dispenser motor not engaging.

    Customers complaint was that ice would not dispense. What was happening was that the ice was backing up against the insulated flap because the motor that opens the flap was not engaging the lever. In the picture above I’ve already adjusted the lever to be behind the motors arm. Once I did this it dispensed…

  • Intermittent Noise from Fresh Food Section

    Intermittent Noise from Fresh Food Section

    This is the damper assembly from the fresh food section of a Kenmore 596.65232401 refrigerator. The motor was making a loud annoying noise. This damper has a louver that opens and closes to allow or restrict air flow from the freezer section. I hit it with some WD-40 which quieted it down while I wait…

  • Sealed System Compromised

    This little tap has been fastened to the sealed system on this Whirlpool french door refrigerator. This tells me that some technician in the past saw a need to add refrigerant, R134A according to the compressor, to this refrigerator. Sometimes doing this can give a dying fridge a few more years life and keep it…

  • Last Rites for Refrigerator

    Last Rites for Refrigerator

    This LG LFSX307 refrigerator had taken some abuse. Besides physical damage from someone having moved it I noticed that the compressor had a schrader valve on it which means some technician in the past had broken into the sealed system. Most likely to add refrigerant because it probably had a leak. Now the unit is…

  • Refrigerator Ice Dispenser Stuck

    Refrigerator Ice Dispenser Stuck

    The ice dispenser door/flap had become stuck on this LG refrigerator. I had to disassemble the entire dispenser to get to where I could see where it’s plastic hinge mechanism had become misaligned. If the fix doesn’t hold I’ll recommend replacing some of its parts.
