Freezer not freezing, checked fans, coils, defrost. Getting a code of 22, also 6 blinking lights on main board, could it be the thermistor? Thank you.
For model number LFXS24663S
Hello Chris, Thank you for the question. The Error Code 22 indicates the Refrigerator Compressor Relay (PTC) is faulty. Thank you for your inquiry, good luck with this repair!
Thermistor Assembly EBG60663205
Is there a way I can test my LG part to know it is failing?
Thanks.
For model number LFC24770
Hi Thomas,
Thank you for your question. To verify if the sensor is working correctly, you will need to test it with a multimeter. You will need to remove the thermistor from the refrigerator to test it. Before removing the thermistor, unplug the refrigerator from the electrical outlet. The thermistor will produce different readings at different temperatures and before testing it, you will need to place it in ice water for 5 minutes in order to bring the temperature to 32 degrees F. With the probes on the terminals and your multimeter set to Rx1, you should receive a reading of 16,600 ohms (+/- 5 percent). If you receive a reading outside this range, you will need a replacement thermistor. If you need help placing an order for it, customer service is open 7 days a week and anyone will be happy to assist you. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!

How to test the relay on this comprcompressor overload assembly
For model number 795.73133.410
Hi Ramesh, thank you for asking us. Please follow these instructions to test the relay on the compressor overload assembly: 1. Unplug the refrigerator's power. 2. Remove the start relay from the appliance and take a multimeter to check for continuity. 3. Connect one probe of the multimeter to the upper/top terminal of the relay and another terminal to the lower/bottom portion of the relay. 4. Check the meter readings. If it shows a resistance of about 0 to 1 ohms and beeps continuously, then it means that the relay is good. Otherwise, if the meter shows a reading out of range and beeps for some time, then the relay is damaged and needs to be replaced. We hope this information is useful!

My freezer is not cold. I’ve replaced the evaporater fan motor and that did not solve it. I feel as though the fridge is not as cold as it should be either. What do you think the problem could be?
For model number LBC24360ST
Hi Danielle,
Thank you for your question. If the freezer is not cold enough, there are some other parts that you will need to check to see which ones are causing the issue. You will also need to check the thermistor and the condenser fan motor. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!
