Which units this covers, and how to tell yours is one of them

Every answer below is scoped to these model identifiers. A neighbouring model in the same line can use a different part, a different reset sequence or a different radio, so matching the identifier before following a procedure is the step that decides whether the rest of the page applies to you.

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 — French door
A French-door fridge (two fridge doors, bottom freezer drawer). A value French-door with a straightforward layout.
Ice & dispenser
An automatic ice maker and dispenser (external on dispenser builds). Ice/water faults trace to the water line, filter (~6 months) and freezer temperature.
Cooling — Linear Compressor
Linear Compressor (10-year warranty), variable-speed and quiet — a steady soft hum is normal. Multi-air-flow vents cool the compartments; keep vents clear.

Exact questions

Questions that only have an answer for the LG LRFCS25 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.

My LG LRFCS25 freezer works but the fridge is warm.+

The fridge is cooled by air routed from the freezer/evaporator, so a warm fridge with a cold freezer usually means the airflow is blocked — check that the vents inside are not covered by packed food, and that the evaporator behind the rear panel is not iced up from a defrost fault. Also confirm both fridge doors seal and are not held ajar by an over-full shelf. Clear vents and good seals fix most one-compartment warming.

Structured depth, not empty permutations
