What happens when I press and hold the freezer temp control button on my LG refrigerator (LRFSC25D3S /00) ?
Attempting to adjust freezer temp, I pressed and held for a few seconds – then it went through some sort of cycle (?!) but I can’t find it and LG Support has no clue.
Can you tell me the function behind “Press-and-Hold Freezer Temp Button”?
Our LG LMXS30776S/00 washing machine all of sudden randomly cycles through the different chimes on the display panel. its not the alarm that makes a noise when the doors are left open for too long. its the ones that happen when you change the temp, turn on the ice plus, or change the ice type etc.. it is almost 7 years old and I cannot find anything online that describes this issue. Please any help would be appreciated. I love love my refrigerator!!
After a power outage, My LG LMX25984ST control panel is not working properly.
Refrigerator and Freezer temperatures won’t light.
Fridge and freezer and ice maker working fine.
Do I need to replace the control any advice?

Robert,
I have the same problem and question. Did you ever get a response and did you figure out what caused the water to leak under your control panel cover?
My LG control panel is not working – all lights are out as well as ice and water buttons not working. i tried holding down the lock buttons for 3+ seconds as well as many other combinations but nothing unlocks it. Fridge and freezer and ice maker working fine. any advice?
I have LG side by side I bought in 2008. The lights on the control panel are not displaying. They used to be on all the time, I cannot read the temp or any of them now. I am sure the bulb needs replaced but cannot find any info on how to do that. Can you help?
Water leaked under my control panel cover Do I need to replace the entire control panel or is there a cover I can order?
I got a lrsc26925TT, GR-L267BV(T)RA or PA display unit. Itis freezing everything o the refrigerator side. No matter what I set the temperature at. How do you run a self diagnosis? No codes are showing. Other sites say to pull codes press the express freezing and freezer temperature button at the same time and hold. All that does is turn of lights on the display, until the the door is open(power saver mode). Another site (an LG) says to press the test button. I read it backwards and forwards. No where does it say where this button is? I think it’s a thermocouple. I can’t find any good wire diagrams that i can expand and read. Finding the voltage and ohms at different temperature was easy. Removing the display to test? Where do I find how to do that? I don’t want to damage it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
LG fridge is giving me error code E rU. Any thoughts? Please help!
Is there any way to see the actual temperature of the fridge and freezer on the LFX25974ST?
The control panel on LG refrigerator LSC27910ST01 has only the freezer lights with all bars lighted. no other control works. This model does not display digital numbers and only has pictures. Is this an error code of some sort? Is there a fix or reset? I already ordered and replaced the display board. It was fine for half a day and then the new board also went to this freezer bar display like the other board so something is obviously triggering this display.
My LG Refrigerator temperature display is 5 degrees lower than the inside temperature.
(Certified thermo in container of water for 24 hrs)
Is there a easy way to adjust the temp display?
I am on my second display panel due to the plastic peeling off. I removed the whole display panel and ice/water unit. It pops out. but not easily. Once out the display screws can be removed.
Patty,
On the LG fridge it means the ICE PLUS BUTTON.

On the LG refrigerator display, what does the symbol that looks like a snowflake with a circle thing around it mean?
How does one see what the actual inside refrigerator temp is? LG French Door
