High level of quality, reliability, stylish design and innovative technologies - these are the distinctive characteristics of LG refrigerators. Working on a regular basis, every device is prone to breakdowns which can occur for a variety of reasons. If you notice that your LG refrigerator is not cooling enough, there is a necessity to check the next parts for defects. Make sure a compressor is working properly. The compressor is the pump that enables the flow of the refrigerant. The compressor works by increasing the pressure and temperature of the vaporized refrigerant. There are different types of compressors for refrigeration applications. Reciprocating, rotary, and centrifugal compressors are the most common among refrigeration units. The compressor doesn’t break down very often, but if you’ve tested it and the compressor is faulty, it is necessary to replace it. Here is how you can test your compressor yourself:
- Make sure the refrigerator is still turned off.
- Locate the compressor and then use the multimeter to test it for continuity (you need to test between the electrical pins that you can find on the side of the compressor).
- If you discover an open circuit while testing it, replace the compressor. Don’t attempt this repair unless you are qualified to do so.
Purchase original parts to use your appliance at the highest efficiency. Your LG refrigerator evaporator fan also requires a diagnostic. The evaporator is the cooling component of the refrigeration system. It absorbs heat from the contents within the cooling appliance. In the domestic refrigerator, the evaporator is in your freezing compartment. It is always better to get professional assistance to eliminate all possible breakdowns efficiently.
