TROUBLESHOOTING

Frequently Asked Questions about LG LRSOS2706 Side by Side Refrigerator

Q: What are the best temperature settings for my refrigerator and freezer?
A: The default setting for the refrigerator is 37° Fahrenheit (3° Celsius). The default setting for the freezer is 0° Fahrenheit (-18° Celsius). Adjust these settings as necessary to keep food at desired temperatures. Milk should be cold when stored on the inner shelf of the refrigerator. Ice cream should be firm and ice cubes should not melt in the freezer. To switch the display from Fahrenheit to Celsius, press and hold the Freezer and Refrigerator buttons until you hear a beep and the settings in the display change.

Q: How do I set the refrigerator and freezer temperatures?
A: Continually press the Refrigerator or Freezer button on the control panel until the desired temperature appears. The numbers will cycle from highest to lowest and then return to the highest again with continuous pressing.

Q: Why do I hear a buzzing noise from my refrigerator periodically?
A: This may happen if you do not have a water source attached to your refrigerator and the ice maker is turned on. If you do not have a water source attached to the back of the refrigerator you should turn the icemaker off.

Q: Why does the icemaker tray look crooked?
A: This is a normal part of the icemaker cycle. The icemaker tray may appear level or with a slight tilt. The change in position is to assist in the freezing process.

Q: My refrigerator is powered on and the controls are working, but it’s not cooling and the display shows “OFF” (see below). What is wrong?
A: The refrigerator is in Display Mode. The Display Mode disables all cooling in the refrigerator and freezer sections to conserve energy while on display in a retail store. When activated, OFF is displayed on the control panel and the display remains on for 20 seconds. With either refrigerator door opened, press the Ice Plus button 3 times consecutively while pressing the Refrigerator button. The control panel beeps and the temperature settings display to confirm that Display Mode is deactivated. Use the same procedure to activate Display Mode.

Q: How do I change the Craft Ice™ settings?
A: Press the Craft Ice button repeatedly to scroll through the 3 ICE, 6 ICE, and OFF modes. For clearer ice, select the 3 ICE mode. For more ice, select the 6 ICE mode.
