REFRIGERATOR

A Guide to Failures and Solutions

Navigating Common Refrigerator Issues

We maintain a database of over 1000 technical sheets to diagnose issues with various refrigerator brands. The most common failures we encounter, in descending order, are:

  1. Samsung Ice Master or Ice Max failures, leading to no ice production in the top left of French door units. Samsung is aware of this issue and is currently under litigation. However, we rarely see problems with Samsung’s sealed system, which is crucial for cooling.

  2. Whirlpool/KitchenAid ice makers, particularly those with a red light sensor (optics and emitter board). Despite this issue, these brands boast well-designed airflow systems that contribute to longer-lasting and fresher groceries.

  3. LG linear compressors often fail, resulting in inadequate cooling or a complete freezer section meltdown. LG has settled a lawsuit related to this issue, and affected customers can seek warranty support within five years of purchase.

  4. General Electric refrigerators may experience complete shutdowns or frost on the back panel. While these issues are typically resolved with control board or defrost circuit replacements, GE units offer a middle ground with lower repair costs.

  5. Frigidaire failures are diverse, ranging from board replacements to fan issues and drain cleaning, with no major recurring patterns of failure.

As each one has received a gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God
