Our client requested service because their in-door ice maker for the LG refrigerator began leaking. Owners shut it off, emptied ice, troubleshot whatever they could, restarted a few days later and also continued leaking. It happened when they tried to get ice by pushing a button and then water came out instead of ice initially. When the warranty company was contacted, they could not find a repair person, so they asked the owners to find on their own and would be reimbursed for the repair. If that happens to your appliance, it is better to contact a trusted maintenance service and get required assistance. Still, you can try to track and eliminate the issue on your own. We suppose a faulty compressor as in the situation above. Listen carefully to the fridge for two or three minutes. If you hear a "CLICK-BUZZZZZZ-CLICK" (with a buzz of between about 5 and 30 seconds) then you are getting power to the compressor. There is something wrong with the compressor or compressor starting components. If you still hear nothing at all, pull off the lower back panel of the fridge, remove the compressor relay cover. This is the squarish plastic or bakelite box attached to the side of the compressor. Test for voltage at the two compressor leads. Make sure that the defrost timer is in the "run" mode. Set the cold control on the coldest setting. Touch the test leads to the ends of the compressor leads where they join the relay and the thermal overload. If you do not have voltage to the compressor, check the cold control. Always get professional help if you are not sure about how to replace damaged or faulty parts of your refrigerator.
