Published specification
What is true of this model and changes how you fix it
These are the properties that decide which procedure applies. Each is read from the manufacturer’s own published figures for this model, not carried over from a sibling that shares its retail name.
- Type — 4-Door French door
- A 4-door French-door fridge (two fridge doors up top, two drawers below, often with a convertible middle drawer). Check a convertible drawer's mode if its temperature seems wrong.
- Ice — incl. Craft Ice
- Includes Craft Ice (slow round ice balls, a few a day by design) plus regular ice. Ice/water faults trace to the water line, filter and freezer temperature.
- Cooling — Linear Compressor
- Linear Compressor (10-year warranty), quiet variable-speed — a steady hum is normal. Dual evaporators separate the air paths.

Exact questions
Questions that only have an answer for the LG LF29S8330 refrigerator
Each answer below uses this model’s own published figures. The same question asked about a different model in the line has a different answer, which is why it is answered here rather than on a general page.
The middle drawer on my LG LF29S8330 isn't the temperature I expect.+
Many 4-door LG fridges have a convertible middle drawer with its own temperature settings (from meat-chill to freezer), so check its selected mode in the panel — it may simply be set differently than you think. If a standard compartment is warm, look at blocked vents and door seals. The Linear Compressor's steady hum, meanwhile, is normal running, not a fault.
Structured depth, not empty permutations
