  1. I have an lg l fxs30766s 00. Error code 22 occurred. I replaced the overload relay next to the compressor
    Code 22 still shows up and not cooling.

  2. Followup to original post July 2021 (in case I did not already)… Error code 22, HOWEVER the “relay” was NOT faulty or failed!! It was the “Linear Compressor” that failed! Call LG customer service/support directly for “warranty” service/replacement! It is 10yrs. for compressor! They replaced mine at no charge, however, for some reason the first attempt did not succeed!! I monitored the temps for freezer & fridge BEFORE moving food back in…it was not cold enough by 24 hrs., so called for 2nd. followup, which finally succeeded.
    FYI: rent or buy a small Tall fridge @ Home Depot to get you through the wait time(s), if you don’t have a backup.
