20 Most Recent LG 24.7 Cu. Ft. Side-by-Side Refrigerator with Bottom-Mount Freezer - Titanium Questions & Answers

Most refrigerators have only one evaporator that handles both compartments. Only the very expensive ones have two evaporators that cool and independently control the temps separately. Most simply circulate a small percentage of the cold air with a fan in the freezer section (where the thermostat that controls the compressor is getting its signal from) blowing over to the refrigerator section with the hope that that keeps things cool enough in the refrigerator section. If your LG is one of the common ones, it could be something a simple as a large object blocking the air flow between the two sections or a problem with the circulating fan. Also the dial that supposedly controls the temperature in the refrigerator compartment is sometimes connected to a linkage that determines how far a flapper door is help open or closed. Look for a problem in that linkage or damper door.

NOTE: This
is a multi-solution answer since I don't have all the tech from your question to pinpoint your problem
But the solution is in here generically, if you read and study the solutions very,very carefully.
First I would check cold control. Thats where you turn it off, if your temp is not warm. it can
be defective and not shutting off. If your temp is warm proceed with the following.
I would check the fan in the freezer. Listen to see if it is running
It moves air to the ref from the freezer
Then check to see if FREEZER CONTROL is turned WARMER WHICH MAKES THE REF COLDER AND VICE-VERSA. SEE?
The ref. temp should be about 33-35
The Freezer temp should be 0 to 10 Any thing below these temps is overkill and a waste of elect
The higher the number you turn it up to is the coldest
But is probably a common defrost problem The ice build up
is not being melted by the defrost system.The fan can't blow through the coils into the fridge.
Take out back panel of freezer to check for ice buildup. The coils should be clean.
There are three components to a defrost system- a heater,heater thermostat, and a timer unless you have a defrost electronic card.
Its best handled by a Technician but you could possibly do it by taking your model number to the nearest appliance parts store and asking for the parts. They are mostly located in freezer ,behind back panel on freezer coils.except the card which is usually located in ref The parts store will have info
Also check fan undernearh Ref in the rear
Clean condenser coils underneath
Make sure back cover is on the fridge. Some take them off and throw them away.
make one out of cardboard if its gone, using the holes of the old one.

WATER SPLASHING IN FREEZER AT ICEMAKER
THE FILL TUBE IN BACK OF REFRIGERATOR CAN SLIP
AGAINST THE FILL RESERVOIR CAUSING A PARTIAL BLOCKAGE
OR BECOME CLOGGED WITH ICE.
REMOVE THE ICEMAKER AND INSPECT THE FILL TUBE.
RUN WATER IN TUBE TO ELININATE BLOCKAGE AND CHECK
TEMP IN FREEZER. IF TEMP IS BELOW 0 DEGREES, THATS
OVERKILL AND USUALLY A WASTE OF ELECTRICITY TO KEEP IT THAT COLD, NOT TO MENTION THE FILL TUBE FREEZING UP

The first thing I would do with your machine is : inspect the Main controlboard on the rear of the machine... I would look to see if the capacitors have domed. (((( Their are many capacitor on the board... But the tops should all be flat... if any are domed they are bad.))) if they are then I would replace the main control. if not then the dispensor control could be bad.

Half way between off and the coldest setting on the t-stat.
Your refrigerator should be from 36f-40f and the freezer should be around 5f-10f. I hope this helps you. Please leave feedback.
Thank you.
