The LG Control Board: a technical dossier
The main control board (PCB) runs every function of your LG fridge — compressor, fans, defrost, ice maker and display. Power surges on Johannesburg's grid are the leading cause of LG board failure.
- Fridge completely dead
- Error code on the display
- Random cycling or no cooling
- Ice maker and dispenser not working
- Display flickering or blank
- Read the fault code from the LG display
- Test power supply to the board
- Check all sensor inputs to the PCB
- Inspect for burnt tracks or relays
- Replace with a genuine LG control board and reprogram
