TROUBLESHOOTING

Parts & Features

There is water inside or 

outside of the 

appliance.

Is there water leakage around the appliance?

•  Check if the water has leaked from a sink or another place.

Is there water on the bottom of the appliance?

•  Check if the water is from the thawed frozen food or a broken or dropped 

container.

Symptoms

Possible Cause & Solution

The appliance door is 

not closed tightly.

Is the appliance leaning forward?

•  Adjust the front feet to raise the front side slightly.

Were the shelves properly assembled?

•  Refit the shelves if needed.

Did you close the door with excessive force?

•  If you apply too much force or speed when closing the door, it may remain 

briefly open before closing. Make sure that you do not slam the door 

closed. Close the door gently.

It is difficult to open 

the appliance door.

Did you open the door right after you closed it?

•  If you try to open the appliance door within one minute after you closed it, 

you may have difficulties because of the pressure inside the appliance. Try 

to open the appliance door again in a few minutes so that the internal 

pressure stabilizes.

The inside lamp in the 

appliance does not 

turn on.

Lamp failure

•  Close the door and re-open. If the lamp does not turn on, please contact 

the LG Electronics customer information centre. Do not attempt removal 

of the lamp.
