# LG refrigerator not cooling repair cost

### Why this figure is a from

This row covers the air and defrost half of a cooling call — fans, ducts, damper, drain and seals. The sealed system has a row of its own and a very different figure, and the two are not quoted together because most cabinets sent for a compressor did not need one.

### What puts your job at the bottom or the top of it

At the bottom: one appliance, a code or a light pattern already written down, easy access, and a cause that turns out to be a setting, a filter or something cleared rather than replaced. At the top: a machine built into joinery, a part that has to be ordered rather than picked up, and a second problem found alongside the first. We say which of those you are in before the work starts, not after.

What moves this figure

from $155, and what changes it

Confirmed on site, agreed in writing

Nothing is opened or ordered before you have said yes

Which of the three fans

CF in the machine room is reachable from the back; FF and rF are behind a compartment that has to be emptied and often thawed.

Whether the cabinet needs defrosting first

A coil sealed in ice is hours before any part is touched, and it cannot be rushed with heat.

What the machine had already told you

A code written down before the power was cut is the cheapest information in the job.

### Why is it a from and not a price?

Because the same job is not the same work on two machines. The part, the access and what the appliance turns out to have done to itself all move it, and quoting a number before measuring is guessing with extra confidence. The figure is confirmed on site and agreed in writing before anything is opened — BRAND-RULES is explicit about it and so are we.

### Is the diagnostic charged on top?

It pays for the diagnosis, which is real work. If you go ahead with the repair it comes off the bill, so you pay it once either way.
