I have a Kenmore French door / bottom freezer - Model 795.72053.110 that we purchased in June of 2011. This has a LG Linear Compressor. We just came back from vacation and discovered the refrigerator was running but not cooling anymore. Everything was defrosted. We found out that while we were away the power had gone out for a few hours and then come back on. The compressor is running but only slightly warm. Condenser and Circulating fans are running. Coils are not frozen and only get to about 40 degrees. I unplugged the frig for 1/2 hour last night and then plugged it back in. It ran all night and this morning it was still warm. The compressor is running constantly. I tested the resistance of the compressor and it reads between 6.8 and 7.1 ohms (one of the posts reads open but I think that's normal on a linear compressor). Is this a variable speed compressor? Could it be a circuit board problem due to the power outage or do you think this is an internal compressor or freon problem. I've read that these linear compressors are not reliable. According to my manual, the compressor is supposed to be under warranty for 10 years but NOBODY at Sears will verify that without me paying for technician to come out. I'm also afraid that even if I replace the compressor the system may be contaminated if there was an internal failure in the compressor. I watched a few videos of people tearing down these compressors and they seem to find that an internal valve goes bad and leaves behind a lot of metal shavings. I don't want to waste any money on this frig if it's not worth fixing. Thank you for any help.

Hi Guys, I have a 10 year old LG WM3431HS. I got a dHE code. Researched a bit on the internet and found that cleaning the lint out of the duct usually fixes the problem. Sure enough the duct was caked full of lint. I cleaned it all out, put it all together and still get the dHE code. I followed the service manual diagnostics. Fuse is good, Thermistors are good, Thermostat is good. Heater is good. I'm not getting 120VAC at the heater, which the service manual says is the main board. I bought a new main board, replaced it and still no change... I've also manually tested the heater by hooking it up to 120V and it works great. Is there some element I am missing here, or some component that is failed that is causing the main board not to send power to the heater? I feel like a fuse is blown or something is causing this error. I've been working on this for a couple of weeks and I'm really close to just calling a service guy. Part of me wonders if the service guy will have any more luck... Thanks for any help!! -Charles M

This LG refrigerator was DOA- warm inside, no compressor operation, no lights, no nuttin'. Found a blown fuse on the main control board. What took out the fuse: bad board or just a spike on the power line? I show how to check for that. The fuses on these LG boards are soldered in and not easily replaceable. But a new fuse can be installed and I show how to do that without even having to remove the board, while it's still installed in the refrigerator.
