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

If there’s cooling issue get that checked for gas refill or compressor.
Normally compressor has warranty upto 10 years so get that checked

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?

Check if some one poked Deep Fridge (Used for ice making) and made a small hole.

Switch off for 10-12 hrs, start again and if it cools  and stops again then its timer issue

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 sweat_smile

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.

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.
