Suddenly our LG single door fridge stopped cooling. Need advice regarding repairs. As it is around 5 years old so probably out of warranty. If anyone faced similar issue, or if this problem is discussed earlier then provide your input regarding what things need to be considered regarding repairs. Thanks

is compressor is running??
if yes then might need a gas refill.
It is making sound like it is running but cooling is not there so maybe gas issue. Will get it checked from LG first. Do they charge for visit?
yes it’s gas issue then I think not sure about their visit charge.
Relay kharab ho gaya hai.. buy inline or offline.. replace urslef.. watch google video how to do
he said compressor is working.

It will, our new samsung fridge gas lasted for 85 days, then we got refill. Before fridge refill after16years.
Gas kam thanda karega.. ekdam se 0 to nahi hoga
Compeddor ko touch kar dekh lo.. it will easy identify if running or not
Refill gas
Check if some one poked Deep Fridge (Used for ice making) and made a small hole.
yeah that’s quite a possible thing.
Switch off for 10-12 hrs, start again and if it cools and stops again then its timer issue
Recently got same problem changed the condenser coils where gas is leaking
If compressor is running, check if it’s getting abnormally hot. That likely indicates pressure drop or refrigerant leak.
It is also a good idea to switch off for 2-3 hours and turn on again.
If the refrigerator has defrost button, ensure it is not accidentally pressed. Pressing this button will immediately put compressor to stop and let the refrigerator defrost.
If nothing works, get it checked by a technician, and if required get a second opinion.
Op you yourself dissappear after raising query
So now to your query ,
Check whether the compressor is running, do hear some sound like Tick – Tick … the fridge is on but not cooling , then its a Relay problem situated near compressor .
My godrej fridge was in same position 2 days back ..got the relay changed for Rs.700 including fees , but if you can check and do it yourself it will cost you Rs 150 for spare part from fridge parts seller where all this technicisns get it and charge heftly.
For my fridge i researched about it and knew the problem but dint want to take risk if the spare part was not right.
But its damn easy to replace Relay part just like plugging the plugs.
Yes, I am here only, reading all the suggestions, just didn’t get the time to check the actual problem again. Will try to do diagnosis and will update soon. Thanks
just shut down or power off for 1 night or day then it’s will work fine 😇
I tried doing for 3 hours but no change, will try overnight now. Our previous Kelvinator fridge was really good. Worked for more than 25 years with minimal maintenance. Also we used to switch off in winters but these new appliances are build to last for very less years
There is some heater (I am unable to recollect the exact name) in the fridge to defrost. If it doesn’t work, the entire system hangs. I think that may be the issue.
Defrost heater 😶
i have an old refrigerator jisme andar cooling nhi ho rha h pr back side me jo pipe fridge ke andar ja rhi hoti h ,, wha pe ice deposit ho rhi h bahut sari ..
andar se thanda nhi ho rha h , what can be the issue
is it double door type?
Got my fridge repaired a few days back, there was a leakage, so for gas refill I paid 1300.
If there’s cooling issue get that checked for gas refill or compressor.
Normally compressor has warranty upto 10 years so get that checked
