LG LFXS28968S user manual

There could be several reasons why an LG refrigerator like the LFXS28968S may stop working. Some possible reasons include:
1) Power issue: Check if the refrigerator is receiving power by ensuring it is plugged in properly and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. If there's no power, the refrigerator won't work.
2) Temperature settings: If the temperature settings on the refrigerator are too high or low, it may not function properly. Check and adjust the temperature settings as needed.
3) Defective thermostat: A faulty thermostat can cause the refrigerator to stop working. If the temperature inside the fridge remains constant, it might indicate a problem with the thermostat.
4) Faulty compressor: The compressor is an essential component responsible for cooling the fridge. If the compressor is malfunctioning or fails, the refrigerator won't cool properly.
5) Blocked or damaged condenser coils: Dust or debris accumulation on the condenser coils can hinder proper cooling. Regularly cleaning the coils helps maintain their efficiency. Damaged coils may also lead to cooling issues.
6) Defective fan: The refrigerator has fans that circulate cold air. If the fan malfunctions, the fridge may stop cooling uniformly.
7) Faulty defrost system: If the defrost system isn't functioning correctly, ice buildup can occur, blocking airflow and preventing proper cooling.
8) Malfunctioning control board: The control board regulates various functions of the refrigerator. If it is defective, it could lead to the refrigerator not working.
In case the refrigerator stops working, it is recommended to consult the LG customer service or a professional appliance repair technician to diagnose and resolve the issue.

One common problem with the LG LFXS28968S refrigerator is cooling issues. This can include insufficient cooling or erratic temperature fluctuations, leading to food spoilage. Another common issue is water leakage, either from the dispenser or from the icemaker. Additionally, some users have reported problems with the ice maker not working properly, such as not producing ice or getting jammed frequently. Finally, there have been occasional complaints about noise, such as loud operating sounds or strange noises coming from the refrigerator. It is important to note that while these issues are commonly reported, they may not be universal to all LG LFXS28968S refrigerators, and individual experiences may vary.

The time it takes for a new LG refrigerator to reach the desired cooling temperature can vary depending on various factors such as the initial temperature of the refrigerator, the surrounding room temperature, and how frequently the refrigerator door is opened during the first few hours of operation. However, typically, it can take anywhere from 3 to 24 hours for a new LG refrigerator to fully cool down. It is recommended to wait at least 3 hours before placing perishable items inside the refrigerator to allow it to start cooling properly.

After a refrigerator is delivered and properly installed, you should wait for at least 4 hours before turning it on. This allows the refrigerant and oil to settle, ensuring that the compressor is not damaged when it starts up.
