Why LG Refrigerator Compressors Fail
LG refrigerators use linear inverter compressors to keep food cold efficiently and quietly. Over time, these compressors can fail from wear, refrigerant leaks, power surges, or clogs inside the system. When this happens, your LG fridge may stop cooling, click repeatedly, or show error codes like Er IF, CF, or 67.
A broken compressor cannot move refrigerant through the system, which leads to poor cooling or complete failure. In most cases, the best solution is a full compressor replacement by a qualified technician.

How We Replace an LG Refrigerator Compressor
At Vega Refrigerator Repair, we follow a clear, step-by-step process to ensure each repair meets factory standards. First, we recover and recycle the old refrigerant safely. Next, we install a genuine LG linear inverter compressor designed for your specific model. Then, we replace the filter dryer, check for leaks with nitrogen, and vacuum the system to remove air and moisture. Finally, we refill the system with the proper refrigerant—either R600a or R134a—and test its cooling performance, pressure, and amperage.
By completing every step carefully, we restore the refrigerator’s performance and extend its lifespan.
Common LG Models That Need Compressor Replacement
Some LG refrigerators are more likely to experience compressor issues than others. We frequently repair models such as:
LFXS28968S, LFXS30796D, LFXS30726S, LMXS30776S, LMXS28626S, LMXS30796S, LFXC24726S, LFXC24796S, LFXC24726D, LSXS26366S, LSXS26326S, LSXS26336V, LFX25974ST, LFX28968ST, LMXC23796D, LFXS30766S, LFXS30726D, and LFXS28596S.
If your LG refrigerator runs constantly, makes clicking noises, or stops cooling, it is time to schedule a compressor diagnostic. Early inspection can prevent further damage and higher repair costs.
