Refrigerator help please....

[spikerS]

Hey guys, need a little help.

Found out today as I went to cook dinner that our fridge has stopped doing it's job. While the inside is still cool, it is no longer keeping things cold, and the freezer section is the same. All of our food has dethawed.

I figured maybe the coils were clogged, and so I pulled out the fridge and cleaned the coils. No change, and this is about where my knowledge ends when it comes to major appliances.

I found out that the fridge has a control board with a self diagnostic function. It returned an error code of 22 when I pressed the button. When I whip out the google-fu, it says that the issue is a compressor start relay fault. Checked out a couple videos, and seems like an easy to replace part. But now, I am trying to figure out what part I need, and I am finding conflicting part numbers, and I don't know which is which, and where in Calgary can I go to get a replacement relay?

It is an LG fridge, model number LMX25984ST /02
from what I can tell, the LG part number for the relay is EBG62325702

Is anyone able to figure out if Part #: 6749C-0014E is the same thing? And where is the best place for me to get this locally? Or am I better off just finding a repair guy?

There is an appliance part store inside trail appliances that stocks a lot of these types of parts. I’d give them a call first thing tomorrow
https://www.reliableparts.ca/locations/AB

[xrayvsn]

I have been able to get parts for my washer and dryer from Reliable Parts, so I suspect they may also carry parts for refrigerators. There are a few in the city, but there is one inside the Trail Appliances at Deerfoot Meadows.

Maybe their website can give you information on inventory or nearest location to you?

https://www.reliableparts.ca/

Edit: Looks like Sabad66 gave you the same recommendation.

[The_Penguin]

Reliable parts isn't too reliable for LG parts. They generally only have cosmetic parts, racks, drawers etc.
I'd check with Atlas Appliances for LG.
That said, nobody had the start relay (really just a PTC) for my LG Fridge. I wound up using a close enough Westinghouse part from Amre.

[dj_rice]

AMRE and ReliableParts are my 2 suggestions

[ExtraSlow]

Had anyone suggested reliable parts?

[The_Rural_Juror]

Maybe mate your fridge with RX_EVOLV's fridge to get one with a working pilot light.

[spikerS]

well, the code 22 I thought I had discovered, wasn't a code at all. I think I just put the fridge into test mode 2... So I am pretty sure that is a dead end. I am so lost when it comes to this shit.

Got a guy coming this morning to come fix it up hopefully.

[revelations]

Sounds like fridges and appliances etc. will need an OBDII-type port pretty soon.

The LG’s linear compressors break. Was a huge class action action about this in the states.

Awesome tech, the fridges are super quiet. But the compressors do go eventually unfortunately.

Also FYI, ‘linear’ compressor is just an oil-less solenoid used to push refrigerant instead of a crankshaft and piston doing it. Oil-less air compressors are throwaway garbage too. So many better ways to keep your milk cold, LG just went with the cheapest possible method they could come up with and has a high budget for marketing wank.

I have no opinion on Sub-Zero, have never even looked at one. My recommendation is buy the least energy efficient fridge you can find and enjoy it lasting forever. All LG and Samsung fridges are broken, some have more lag than others.

Can vouch for this.
Hate my Samsung right now.
Ice maker is always frozen and have to constantly Force Defrost.
Now, the ice maker has completely crapped out and would only make a batch of ice once after I hit the reset button.

I went with Miele for a new dishwasher on the weekend. Seems like the sweet spot.

Can we wait for my LG compressor to go before we start the group buy?

Red knobs only gas cooktop for stoves though.

[nzwasp]

I have a samsung french door style and there was an ice jam in the back of the crispers caused by a temperature sensor part being too short. Ordered a 2$ part from amazon and spent an afternoon defrosting the fridge with a hair dryer to replace it.

in case anyone is interested, the new fridge is a Whirlpool. Gonna give it a whirl and see how it does /dadjoke

[littledan]

My samsung french door icemaker is also regularly fucked as well. Ice jams against the icemaker housing and quits working until a forced defrost. Im doing it on average every 3-4 weeks now. Fridge is 3 yrs old...

We’ve got a whirlpool too. It acted weird one day so had a guy come check it out since it was under warranty... nothing wrong with it, but he said whirlpool are one of the better brands for plebs like us (I.e. not counting Miele, wolf, SZ).

Take the thing apart - at the back of the fridge there is a sensor where its supposed to detect if there is an ice jam however on the samsung the sensor never reaches far down enough and causes this problem.

the part is called SAMSUNG Clip Drain Evaporator REFOEM Original Part: DA61-06796A on amazon

Whirlpool, kitchen aid, and a few others are all the same shit rebranded

Jennaire is supposed to be the luxury part of the Whirlpool line. Thermador and Bosch are related. Miele and SubZero are not inbred.

Miele = Lamborghini

I’ll stick in that aside from ranges Viking is Porsche,

Their main cooktop products are awesome, but they also sell a bunch of rebranded VW’s

[Tik-Tok]

Jennaire is supposed to be the luxury part of the Whirlpool line. Thermador and Bosch are related.

Jennaire and Bosch have some kind of relationship. When I broke our previous Bosch, I went looking for the same model, which was "discontinued", but saw a Jennaire that was identical, except had a blue LED floor light instead of red. Oh, they also wanted almost twice what I had paid for the Bosch, at the exact same store.

[The_Rural_Juror]

Viking and Brigade split up a while back like SFAM and Citizens of Humanity did. I think the old Viking became Brigade and then Sears/Electrolux became Viking. For Canada anyways.

Jennairs never appealed to me for some reason. I prefer the Asian imports with their flashy features.

Here's an update for anyone interested in this....

1) Called LG - confirmed if it is compressor it is covered under the 10 year warranty.

2) Submitted an in-warranty request - received call from local authorized repair person to schedule appointment.

3) Repair person said if it's the compressor only the parts are covered. Labour is not. Asked how much labour alone cost and she said ~$600 (!!)

4) Decided to wait and see if wife wants to just go buy a not-shitty fridge. Scrolling LG website while waiting for her to call me back and noticed under "out of warranty' there is a "One Price", flat-rate repair program that no one told me about.

5) Called LG again, turns out I can just get the flat rate repair for $249, which cover all diagnosis, parts, labors, etc..

6) Resubmitted my repair request as a non-warranty repair for $249.

LOL - this sounds a lot like Samsung SSD warranty claims - 'we dont RMA SSD drives', or otherwise deny warranty. Digging through discussion groups, one needs to contact a SPECIFIC Samsung department directly.

The main, 1800 number just runs you around in circles.

What is up with LGs fridges lately, mine might be on its last leg too. It runs and fridge is cool, but bottom freezer isn't able to freeze new stuff even when left in overnight. Even though the freezer temperate is set to the lowest at -20C, air coming out is barely -4C.

Did all the troubleshooting from the manual: Freeing up airflow inside the fridge, clearing ice buildups, vacuumed the coils in the back, nothing.
This is my second run-in with LG service so knew about the flat rate thing, which I got to say is a pretty decent protection for shoddy products.

Sent in a service order yesterday and they're supposed to have someone here within 48 hours through Southland. Hope they actually show up tomorrow, otherwise my it's bad news for my stash of hoarded meats.

[killramos]

What’s up is the Linear compressors are a known wear item.

[cdnsir]

If it was the compressor, then $250 in exchange for 5 more years isn't so bad.

Had no say in brands as this one came with the house, I'll definitely help make America great again when it's time to replace.

[killramos]

I tend to agree. I really like the LG in my house. If it died I would have no issue investing 250 bucks in continuing to use it.

[The_Penguin]

We went all-in on LG. Fridge, dishwasher washer dryer. First problem was the fridge, couple months in. 3 service calls by a seemingly incompetent tech, and they replaced it.
Then the dishwasher. 1 service call and all good.
Then the dishwasher again out of warranty. I made the mistake of disassembling the main pump assy. before finding out that the gaskets were made of unobtanium. I suppose I could have used silicone... New main pump special order from Atlas. 4 months later it's noisy AF. Sold on Kijiji, replaced with a Bosch.

Icemaker in the fridge quit. Totally potted, no chance of repair. Got one on Ebay.
Fridge quit. Some troubleshooting, compressor start relay (not really a relay, just a PTC) Also unobtanium, but AMRE had a Westinghouse part that would work with some modifications.

Then the washer. Drain pump failed. Surprisingly, Reliable Parts had it in stock. While inside, I spotted the cold inlet valve I should say one of the cold inlet valves, there's 3, all one unit. Was just starting to leak. Amazon for the win.

When it came time to buy a standup freezer... Frigidaire. Fuck LG, and from what I hear, Samsung.

That is exactly my problem. Sounds like 90% compressor. Ours got replaced this morning. Asked the guy if this happens often and he just said no comment, all I'm here to do is to repair this for you.

BTW he replaced the compressor and updated the software in 45mins. I dont know how that's a $600 labour job otherwise...

So they had to re-book me for tomorrow morning... You musta taken their last compressor jerk! LOL Seriously, mine is also a 2015.

So the fridge is toast. Guy spent 5 hours flushing and swapping out all the imaginable parts, conclusion was an unmovable blockage somewhere inside the system.

Bad news is I gotta shop for new fridge. Anyone else shopping for appliances? Most appliance stores offer discounts when ordering multiple products, I'm probably going with one of the census pleb brands under the Whirlpool umbrella.

Good news is I now have a huge beer fridge as the fridge side is fine, but the freezer has been reduced to a fridge as it can't get low enough to freeze anything. Or maybe it can be used for dry aging beef like the other thread?

LG charges $250 flat rate for all parts and labour. Since it's a 10 year warranty on the closed system and it can't be fixed, if they are going to reimburse me for that is TBD. They are supposed to call me once they get the report from back Southland Technical.

As expected my LG died this morning. Blew out the coils and cleaned it out but have little expectation that will fix anything. Gonna give it an hour to see if it starts cooling (got my bbq probes in it LOL).

They did, and the process was painless if you don't mind waiting a while for a refund, took about 3 months to have it back on my card. In terms of the fridge reimbursement, they'll amortize it so don't get your hopes up in getting a full money-back refund.

For the repair, depends on the age of your your fridge.

Post it for $20 on Kijiji and settle on free.
