General information
If you choose to leave the refrigerator on while you are away, follow these steps to
prepare your refrigerator before you leave.
1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
2. Turn off the icemaker and empty the ice bin.
If you choose to turn the refrigerator off before you leave, follow these steps.
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2. Depending on your model, set the thermostat control (refrigerator control) to OFF.
3. Clean the refrigerator, wipe it and dry well.
4. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to prop them open far
enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold from building up.
1. If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep all refrigerator doors closed to
help foods stay cold and frozen.
2. If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, remove all frozen food and store it
in a frozen food locker.
When you are moving your refrigerator to a new home, follow these steps to
prepare it for the move.
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all frozen food in dry ice.
2. Unplug the refrigerator.
3. Clean, wipe and dry thoroughly.
4. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well and tape them together so they do
not shift and rattle during the move.
5. Depending on the model, raise the front of the refrigerator so it rolls easier OR
screw in the leveling legs all the way so they do not scrape the floor.
6. Tape the doors shut and tape the power cord to the refrigerator cabinet.
When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to the Installation
section for preparation instructions.
The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may sometimes get warm, especially just
after installation. This is due to the anti-condensation pipe, which pumps hot refrigerant
to prevent sweating on the outer cabinet wall.
Check to make sure that the LED lamp is turned on.
- LED lamp is not a user-serviceable item.
If the LED array fails, contact LG for service.
