LG FRIDGE LMXS28626 Not Cooling

Universal Compressor Kit

This model is part of a major class action settlement specifically regarding the premature failure of LG's Linear Compressor. The failure typically involves internal mechanical wear or valve discharge failure, which prevents the system from reaching the necessary pressures for heat exchange. Replacing the compressor with the updated universal service kit is the only permanent solution to restore cooling capacity.

Evaporator Fan Motor

If the compressor is running but air is not circulating, the evaporator fan motor may have failed due to ice obstruction or motor burnout. A failed fan prevents the transfer of cold air from the evaporator coils to the food compartments, resulting in a 'not cooling' symptom even if the sealed system is functional. This is a common secondary failure point in LG French door units.

Main Power Control Board

The Main PCB controls the voltage and frequency sent to the linear compressor. If the board's inverter circuit fails, the compressor will not start or will run at an incorrect speed, leading to no cooling. Additionally, when replacing the compressor with a new universal kit, the board often requires replacement or a firmware flash to ensure compatibility with the updated hardware.
