What to Check First

  1. The set temperature of the refrigerator is incorrect.
  2. The refrigerator is full of food.
  3. The refrigerator door is not closed properly.
  4. The place where the refrigerator is installed is not appropriate.
  5. Not enough time has elapsed since the refrigerator was installed.
  6. If the door does not close because the drawers or shelves are not assembled properly after cleaning the refrigerator, remove the drawers or shelves and put them back in place correctly.
  7. If there is too much food in the drawer near the refrigerator door and the door is loose, remove some of the food.
  8. If the door gasket is contaminated by a foreign object and the door does not close well due to the sticky rubber packing, clean it often.
  9. If the door gasket on the refrigerator door is worn out and there is a gap, contact the LG Electronics service center for guidance.
  10. Refrigerators use the principle of absorbing heat from the surroundings as the refrigerant changes from liquid to gas. If the cold air created in this way is not spread evenly throughout the refrigerator, it will feel less cool. If the temperature of the refrigerator is set too high or the installation location is not suitable, the cold air may be weak even when used normally.
