LG GSL460ICEV user manual

1. Temperature check: A functional freezer should maintain a temperature of 0°F (-18°C). Many freezers have built-in thermometers, but if yours doesn't, simply placing an appliance thermometer inside will do the trick.
2. Listen for the motor: You should be able to hear the motor running from time to time. If your freezer is silent for extended periods, something might be off.
3. Check the light: Most freezers have an interior light that turns on when the door is opened. If yours isn't illuminating, the appliance might not be getting power.
4. Look at the back wall: If your freezer is functioning correctly, you may see a light layer of frost on the back wall. This is normal as long as it's not excessive. If there's a thick layer of ice or frost, your freezer may be experiencing issues.
5. Feel the sides: The sides of a working freezer typically feel a bit warm, a result of the appliance expelling heat from its interior to keep things cold inside.
6. Assess the condition of the food: If you've noticed that your food is starting to defrost, the temperature is inconsistent, or the freezer can't maintain zero degrees Fahrenheit, your freezer may be broken.
7. Use the dollar bill test: Put a dollar bill in the freezer door to check the seal. If it holds tight, the seal is good. If the bill falls out, the seal could be faulty, causing the freezer to work overtime.
Remember, if you're not sure or comfortable assessing these things yourself, you can always contact a professional.

To reset the control board on your LG refrigerator, you can follow these steps:
1. Locate the control panel on the front or inside of your refrigerator.
. Unplug the refrigerator from the power outlet or turn off the circuit breaker that supplies power to it.
3. Leave it unplugged or turned off for at least 5 minutes to allow the control board to fully reset.
4. Plug the refrigerator back in or turn on the circuit breaker.
