More about LG repair.

LG runs a linear inverter compressor. That single component drives most of what we see.

LG’s linear inverter compressor — the LGRC platform — is the engineering choice that defines the brand, and it is also where most LG refrigerators fail. We see linear-compressor faults on units that are barely past the manufacturer warranty, and a board-level diagnosis is required before any compressor swap to confirm the failure mode. The InstaView Door-in-Door, the dual inverter, and the Craft Ice subsystem each carry their own fault patterns. We are an independent fridge-only shop and we service LG every week.

Common LG issues we see

  • Linear inverter compressor failures on LGRC platforms. This is the well-known LG reliability issue — the relay clicks but the compressor never starts, or it starts and fails to hold pressure. A board-level diagnosis is required before any compressor swap.
  • Evaporator-fan motor wear on French-door and side-by-side. Cold air stops moving from the evaporator, the fresh-food side drifts warm while the freezer holds.
  • Control-board firmware glitches on InstaView units. Temperature alarms cycle on without a real fault, the display goes dark intermittently, the cooling cycle restarts on its own.
  • Door-in-Door hinge spring failures on InstaView LRMVS and LRFVS. The inner door sags, the gasket stops sealing, and the unit overworks to hold setpoint.
  • Ice-maker board failures on Craft Ice units. The slow-melt round ice cycle hangs, the bin freezes solid, and water backs into the mold.
  • Water-inlet valve failures on dispenser units. The pad clicks but no water flows, or the line drips behind the unit.

Models we service most often

InstaView LRMVS and LRFVS Door-in-Door French-door. Craft Ice LRMDS. Standard French-door LFXS and LFXC. Side-by-side LSXS. Bottom-freezer LBNC. Counter-depth LRFXC. Older LFCS freestanding.

What the diagnostic includes

Visit starts with a $65 in-home diagnosis, waived if you authorize the repair. We arrive with OEM parts on the truck for the common LG failures — evaporator fans, ice-maker boards, water-inlet valves, door switches, control boards. You get a written quote before any work begins, with parts and labor under a 3-month warranty (6 to 12 months on compressor and sealed-system work).

We are an independent LG repair shop

We are not factory-authorized and not affiliated with LG Electronics, Inc. We service LG because we have invested in the parts inventory, the diagnostic tools, and the years of repair history on linear inverter platforms.

What your neighbors said this month.

  • I couldn't recommend this company more highly. I have used them several times and found Ivan to be knowledgeable, responsive, honest and courteous. He has saved me from buying a new refrigerator twice and unlike so many vendors, he is always able to diagnose the problem quickly and always knows how to fix it. If you want someone reliable who truly knows his craft and is always fair and reasonable, call We Fix Fridges!

  • We have used this company several times now. I wanted to leave a review because Ivan really went above and beyond for this last repair the day before a big holiday weekend. He saved us! 100% recommend him. Besides being so knowledgeable which helps with diagnosis to repairs he is courteous and timely and we have found his prices to be very fair. It's hard to find a trustworthy reliable repair person. We have Ivan on text now!

  • Highly recommended. Been in business with Ivan 3 different times with different appliances and all were satisfactory with problem fixed. He even figured out an indirect minor issue and fixed it for us with no charge without us asking for it. Ivan will be the first one I call in any cases of an appliance that needs repair.
