LG began its journey in 1958 as GoldStar, a South Korean company that produced radios, TVs, and home appliances. Over the decades, LG has grown into a global brand known for innovation, energy efficiency, and stylish design. Their appliances are popular not only for their appearance but also for the smart technologies they integrate into everyday life. From sleek refrigerators to AI-powered laundry systems, LG remains a household name in modern homes across the U.S.

Even with quality manufacturing, home appliances face wear and tear from daily use. Our team specializes in diagnosing and repairing all major LG refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, microwaves, ovens, ranges, and cooktops. We also service LG freezers, ice makers, washer-dryer combos, and smart kitchen appliances using Wi-Fi connectivity or ThinQ technology. Whether you own a standard top-load washer or an advanced induction range, we bring the expertise to get it running like new.

Common LG Appliance Issues and Why They Happen

We see recurring patterns in appliance repairs, and understanding the cause helps prevent future breakdowns. Here are some of the most frequent problems our clients face with LG appliances:

  • Refrigerator not cooling properly – Often caused by blocked airflow, worn door seals, or sensor failure. LG's energy-saving compressors are sensitive to environmental conditions and may reduce performance if ventilation is obstructed.
  • Freezer builds up frost or ice – This typically points to defrost system errors or frequent door openings. LG models use smart defrosting that can malfunction if the drain is clogged or the door is left ajar too often.
  • Washer not draining – Usually linked to a clogged pump filter or kinked drain hose. Many LG front-load washers rely on self-cleaning systems that still require occasional manual attention.
  • Washer makes loud banging noises – This can result from an unbalanced load, worn shocks, or using the wrong detergent. LG’s high-speed spin cycles amplify these effects if left unchecked.
  • Dryer takes too long to dry clothes – Commonly caused by lint buildup in the vent or sensor calibration issues. LG dryers include moisture sensors that may become less accurate over time without maintenance.
  • Dryer overheating or shutting off early – Often tied to thermal fuse failures or restricted airflow. LG units are designed to protect against overheating, so they shut down proactively when risk is detected.
  • Dishwasher not cleaning dishes well – Can be due to hard water residue, blocked spray arms, or incorrect detergent use. LG dishwashers often use soil sensors that need periodic resetting or recalibration.
  • Dishwasher won’t drain completely – A partially clogged filter or faulty drain pump is usually the reason. LG designs make the filter accessible, but it still needs routine cleaning.
  • Microwave doesn't heat food – This points to magnetron or high-voltage component failure. LG microwaves are efficient but sensitive to power surges or door switch misalignment.
  • Microwave display or buttons unresponsive – Could stem from moisture damage or control panel wear. With touch-sensitive controls, even small faults affect usability.
  • Oven not reaching correct temperature – Caused by faulty temperature sensors or control boards. LG convection ovens distribute heat well but require sensor accuracy for baking precision.
  • Range burners won’t ignite – This may involve a spark module issue or clogged burner caps. Gas ranges especially benefit from regular cleaning to avoid ignition delays.
  • Cooktop not responding to touch controls – Capacitive controls can become erratic from spills or power fluctuations. LG’s glass tops are easy to clean, but require dry, stable surfaces for input to register.
  • Ice maker not producing ice – Often caused by temperature inconsistencies, frozen lines, or faulty sensors. LG French door refrigerators with dual ice makers need consistent airflow to maintain production.
  • Appliance showing error codes – These codes usually indicate internal diagnostics. LG’s smart systems are designed to detect irregularities early and display codes to prevent damage. Reading and decoding them correctly is key.

These issues don’t mean LG products are unreliable. In fact, they’re designed to be self-aware and shut down or alert users before major damage occurs. However, when the warning signs appear, quick professional repair makes the difference between a simple fix and a costly replacement.

We stay up to date with LG's evolving technology and service procedures, and we use only approved replacement parts. Whether it's a classic white appliance or a newer black stainless steel model, our repairs are handled with care and precision. If you're noticing problems with your LG appliance, don't wait until it stops working entirely. Let us restore its performance and extend its life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth repairing an old LG appliance, or should I replace it?
+
Yes, if the appliance is less than 10–12 years old and the repair is affordable, fixing it is usually the smarter option. LG appliances are well-built and can last many years after a proper repair.
Why is my LG refrigerator making noise but not cooling?
+
This often means the fan or compressor is running, but cooling is blocked. Causes may include refrigerant leaks, airflow obstructions, or a defrost issue. A technician should diagnose it before it gets worse.
What does the OE error mean on my LG washing machine?
+
This code indicates a draining problem. It could be a clogged filter, blocked drain hose, or faulty pump. Sometimes cleaning the filter helps, but persistent errors need inspection.
Why doesn’t my LG dryer fully dry the clothes?
+
It may be due to a clogged vent or a faulty moisture sensor. Both reduce airflow and disrupt the drying cycle. These are common issues that can be fixed without replacing the unit.
Can LG touch control panels be repaired?
+
Yes, we repair LG models with touch panels and digital displays. Problems could be with the touch membrane or main control board. We identify the cause and replace only what’s necessary.
Why is there standing water in my LG dishwasher?
+
This usually points to a clogged drain filter, a faulty drain pump, or a blocked hose. Sometimes it’s a simple cleaning issue, but if left unresolved, it can lead to odors and mold.
How much does LG appliance repair cost?
+
Most repairs fall between $109 and $400, depending on the model and the parts needed. We provide an exact quote after diagnosis, so there are no surprises.
Why is my LG appliance showing error codes?
+
LG appliances have self-diagnostic features. Error codes help identify the issue, whether it's a door that won’t close or a sensor malfunction. Some can be cleared manually, others need repair.
Can I schedule in-home repair for my LG appliance?
+
Yes, we offer in-home repair service. Most repairs are completed on-site during the first visit. Our technicians arrive with tools and common parts needed for LG models.
