LG appliance repair in Sherman Oaks

LG refrigerators

• Both sections warming up. LG refrigerators with a linear compressor are known for compressor failures. The signs are a refrigerator and freezer that slowly get warm while the unit seems to run quietly. Before the compressor is blamed, the fans, the start components and the control board must be tested, because they produce the same symptom and cost far less to repair.
• Ice maker in the door not making ice. Frost in the ice compartment, a failed ice maker fan or a frozen fill tube. See ice maker not making ice.
• Ice on the freezer floor or water under the drawers. A blocked defrost drain.

LG washers

• OE. Not draining. Clean the pump filter behind the small door at the lower left front. If the code returns, the pump needs service. See washer not draining.
• UE. Unbalanced load. Repeated UE with normal loads points to worn shock absorbers or, on top-loaders, suspension rods.
• IE. Not filling. Check the water valves and the inlet screens.
• LE. Motor locked. Often an overloaded or oversudsed wash. If it repeats, the motor sensor or wiring needs testing.

LG dryers and the d80, d90, d95 codes

LG dryers measure how well air moves through the vent. The codes d80, d90 and d95 mean the vent is about 80, 90 or 95 percent blocked. This is not a dryer fault. It is the dryer telling you the vent needs cleaning. In Sherman Oaks condos and apartments, with long vent runs to the roof, these codes are common. Ignoring them leads to long drying times and blown thermal fuses. See dryer takes too long to dry.

Before you call

Write down the model number and the exact code on the display. On LG washers and dryers the model tag is inside the door opening. On refrigerators it is on the side wall inside the fresh food section.
