Instructions

    • 1

      Make sure the LG refrigerator is properly connected to a working power outlet if the refrigerator does not turn on or function. Check the fuse or circuit breaker and replace it as needed.

    • 2

      Keep the refrigerator and freezer door closed for several hours if the compressor seems to be running too often. Make sure that the doors are closing firmly, and clean the door seal if dirt or debris is preventing the door from closing tightly.

    • 3

      Adjust the temperature control knob to a warmer setting if food is developing frost on the outside or is too cold. Move the control knob to a colder setting if food is spoiling quickly or is too warm.

    • 4

      Use a level to make sure that the refrigerator is on a level surface if the unit is vibrating excessively. Move the refrigerator out from the wall slightly to reduce potential vibration.

    • 5

      Create a mixture of baking soda and water, and sponge down the interior of the refrigerator if smells develop inside. Make sure that food items are properly covered or closed to prevent smells from escaping.
