LG Refrigerator Repairs
LG refrigerators are built around Linear Inverter compressor and DoorCooling+ airflow. When a LG fridge is not cooling, leaking, making unusual noises or showing a fault code, Gumption Solutions can diagnose and repair it.
We repair all LG fridge models available in South Africa, including freestanding fridge-freezers and side-by-side and french-door fridges. Every repair starts with an honest diagnosis, so we only replace what actually needs replacing.
Common LG fridge problems we repair:
- LG fridge not cooling or struggling to hold the temperature you've set
- LG freezer not freezing properly, or ice cream and meat not staying fully frozen
- Water pooling under the LG fridge or collecting inside the salad drawers
- Excessive frost or ice building up inside the freezer compartment
- LG compressor running constantly, or cycling on and off without cooling
- Unusual buzzing, clicking or humming noises coming from the back of the fridge
- Door seals that are worn, torn or no longer sealing tightly
- Warning lights or fault/error codes on the LG fridge control panel
- Refrigerant gas leaks, where the compressor runs but the fridge stays warm
Trusted On-Site LG Fridge Repair Service
LG fridges, especially the larger side-by-side models, are heavy, full and need constant power, so this isn't a job that can happen anywhere but your own kitchen. Every LG repair we do happens on-site.
Our vehicles carry the parts that come up most often on LG's Linear Inverter and DoorCooling+ systems, so once we've diagnosed the fault and given you a clear price, we can usually crack on with the repair there and then.
We're careful to work cleanly in your home, protecting floors and surfaces, and we won't leave a mess behind once we're finished.
Before we call the job done, we run the fridge and check it's cooling properly, and that work carries our 6-month parts and labour warranty in case anything needs a follow-up.
Understanding LG fridge faults
In plain English, here's what's usually going on when your LG fridge starts acting up.
Fridge Not Cooling
The compressor's running but the fridge stays warmer than it should, or one side cools while the other doesn't. Usually points to the compressor, evaporator, a fan, or the thermostat.
Leaking Water
Water under the fridge or pooling in the salad drawers is generally a blocked defrost drain, a cracked drip tray, or a door seal letting in moisture.
Freezer Not Freezing Properly
If things aren't staying properly frozen, it's often a failing evaporator fan, low refrigerant, or a door that isn't sealing all the way.
Frost or Ice Build-Up
A thick layer of frost inside the freezer usually means the defrost heater, timer or sensor isn't working as it should.
Strange Noises
Buzzing, clicking or humming from the back of an LG fridge is often a fan catching on ice, a struggling compressor, or a loose part vibrating against the cabinet.
Door Seal Problems
Torn, perished or loose door seals let warm air creep in continuously, which drives up running costs and strains the compressor.
Smart Diagnosis & Error Codes
LG's Smart Diagnosis feature and display panel will often flag a fault code, tell us what you're seeing when you call and we'll usually know roughly what we're dealing with before we arrive.
Refrigerant Leaks & Regassing
A compressor running constantly without proper cooling often points to a slow refrigerant leak rather than a broken part. We pressure-test the sealed system, repair the leak, and regas correctly.
Emergency LG Fridge Repairs
LG's larger side-by-side and French-door fridges hold a lot of groceries, which means a sudden failure puts more at risk than a smaller unit would, and every hour matters.
We're available 24/7 for genuine emergencies and can usually get a technician out the same day, often within a few hours if you flag the job as urgent when you call or WhatsApp.
While you wait, keep the doors shut as much as possible, that alone can buy several extra hours before food is at real risk of spoiling.
LG Fridges We Repair
Whatever configuration you own, our technicians have worked on it, here's a closer look at the setups we see most often.
Freestanding fridge-freezers
LG's standard top-mount and bottom-freezer units. Usually quick to access, with faults typically centred on the compressor, thermostat or fans.
Side-by-side & French-door fridges
LG is particularly well known for these, often with InstaView door-in-door panels and water/ice dispensers. More moving parts mean a bit more time spent tracing the fault.
Built-in & integrated fridges
LG's built-in range fitted into cabinetry. We check ventilation clearance first, since it directly affects how well these cool.
Bar fridges & drinks coolers
Compact LG units for a study, bar or garage, generally a quicker and more affordable repair given the simpler systems involved.

- LG GC-series fridge-freezers
- LG GR-series side-by-side fridges
