On the labor we performed
What moves it
Why two of the same job cost different amounts
These apply at the same time and in both directions. Which of them is true of your kitchen is what the on-site diagnostic settles.
-
Which sensor
FS, rS, dS or rT.
-
Whether the compartment has to be thawed
The defrost sensor sits on the coil, and the coil is usually iced when it is being replaced.
-
Single or two evaporator cabinet
The prefix on the code says which coil, and on a two-evaporator machine there are two of some sensors.

What we actually do
The job behind the figure: what it involves, when a symptom points at it, and what we check first.

from $155 Temperature sensor replacement
LG publishes four separate sensor codes on its refrigerators — FS for the freezer, rS for the fresh food side, dS for the defrost coil and rT for the room — and they are not all in the same place. A cabinet that has lost one still cools; it simply cannot aim, which is why this arrives as a machine that swings rather than one that has stopped.
- Four sensors, four codes, four different locations
- A cabinet with a bad sensor will happily freeze the fresh food side
- Small part, contained job, and worth doing promptly

About LG temperature sensor replacement cost
Why this figure is a from
A small part behind a panel, and which panel decides the figure. LG publishes four sensor codes and they are in four different places — the freezer wall, the fresh food wall, the evaporator and the machine room.
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.

Before you book
Questions about LG temperature sensor replacement cost
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.
