For around a week or so now, we’ve felt that the temperature within the fridge was a little bit warmer than what we’ve been used to. It’s gotten to a point where some of the sauces have had to be transferred to the freezer for fear of spoilage.
When we went to the LG site, there was a simple guide there that started we need only not block the air vents and the temperature should normalize. We did that but it didn’t really help the case. We were almost about to call to have the refrigerator serviced but we got the manual first and read through it.
Turns out, a single batch of cool air circulates within the freezer and the fridge. A particular phrase within the manual turned out to be the solution to the problem:
On page 12 (Operations) the manual states:
– Since the temperature of the refrigerator and freezer compartments is controlled with a fixed amount of cooled air, the refrigerator compartment will be warmer if the freezer compartment becomes colder.
We’ve noticed the lower temperature over at the freezer for quite some time now also, so what we did was to reduce the temperature setting for the freezer. It to a little bit of effort sure to the fact that this area has almost been frozen over despite the appliance being a no frost model.
Needed to wrap a rubber band over my thumb just to be able to turn the temp control a single setting down.
There has now been a significant drop in the temperature in the fridge and the operation is as good as new practically.
This is the first time that we lend about this behavior and we hope that this snippet might be able to help some other household who might be going through a similar situation.
We’ve been using LG Inverter for our major appliances for about a year now and the change is still very much welcome. Our family had been a part of their campaign to turn the people’s interest towards inverter technology as seen in this video:
