Quick Answer: LG fridge not cooling? Check for error codes on the display first — they tell you exactly which component has failed. The most common LG fridge failures are defrost system issues and ice maker fan motor failures. Call (437) 524-1053 for same-day LG fridge repair in Toronto.
What Are the Most Common LG Fridge Problems?
LG manufactures high-feature refrigerators with advanced electronics, which means there are more components that can fail compared to basic models. Our Toronto technicians have identified the failures that appear most consistently across LG fridge lines:
Defrost System Failure
LG French Door and bottom-freezer models are prone to defrost heater and defrost sensor failures. The pattern is familiar: the fridge cools well for 3–4 weeks, then gradually warms over 1–2 weeks as ice builds up on the evaporator coils. Manual defrost temporarily resolves it, but the problem returns. Our senior technician Maria S. handles this repair regularly across North York and identifies it as the most common LG service call she receives.
Ice Maker Fan Motor Failure (Er IF Error Code)
LG French Door models with in-door ice makers frequently develop problems with the ice maker compartment fan motor. The error code Er IF (or Er 1F) appears on the display, and ice production stops. The fan motor assembly in the ice maker compartment needs replacement. This is a straightforward repair that restores full ice production.
Linear Compressor Failure
LG French Door and side-by-side models from approximately 2014–2020 used a linear compressor design that has a higher-than-expected failure rate. When the compressor fails, the fridge makes a clicking noise as it tries to start, then stops cooling entirely. LG extended their compressor warranty to 10 years on these models — check whether your unit is still covered. If not, compressor replacement is expensive ($400–$700 CAD) and the repair-vs-replace calculation is important to work through carefully.
Ice Maker Assembly Failures
Beyond the fan motor, LG ice makers have a high rate of overall assembly failures — water inlet valve leaks, ice maker module failures, and auger motor issues. The ice maker for LG French Door models is a self-contained assembly that is typically replaced as a unit rather than repaired component by component.
Control Board Issues
LG main control boards and display boards can fail, causing erratic temperature readings, non-responsive controls, or random error codes. Control board replacement is more expensive than mechanical component repairs but restores the full smart functionality of the refrigerator.

How to Check Before Calling
Read the error code
LG fridges display error codes that tell you exactly what has failed. Note the code and relay it to your technician — this allows us to bring the correct replacement part on the first visit.
Check the LG compressor warranty
LG extended the warranty on linear compressors to 10 years for affected models. Visit LG Canada's website or call LG customer service with your model number to check coverage before paying for compressor repair.
Note the cooling pattern
Gradual cooling loss over weeks = defrost system. Sudden complete failure with clicking = likely compressor. Only the fridge warm but freezer fine = fan motor or damper. Tell your technician which pattern you observed.
LG Compressor Note: If your LG fridge (especially a French Door model from 2014–2020) is making a clicking or knocking sound and has stopped cooling, do not delay calling a technician. Running a failing compressor can cause additional damage to refrigerant lines and increase repair costs. Call (437) 524-1053 immediately.
