The compressor is hot to touch yes Bob. I trust these two fixes are not for the fridge DIY novice though?

Thanks

Re: LG GWB227YSAA Freezer Not Cooling after Power Cut

Hi All

I attach pictures of the inside of the freezer opened up and also the electronics cs panel on top. No frost and the fuses I have put a Meter across and re not blown.

Also, the compressor does come on as I can hear it kick in.

Any ideas before I make the call to GT it repaired by a shop? I’ve already been quoted a £25 call out fee with a further £65 to fix plus the cost of the parts!!!

Help please.

Many thanks

Gutted!!!

I’ve defrosted fully for 48hrs, not much water came out of the back drain, maybe two cupfuls. While defrosting, I could hear ice dropping so was expecting more unless it is in there somewhere else?

Anyway, I switched it back on this morning and it has been on for 4 hours and still not freezing unfortunately. Even tried fast freeze about an hour ago, but no joy.

Any ideas what to try now?

Thanks again

Update … After further investigation, I opened the light cover and low and behold, there is frost!!! Take a look at the he attached.

Begs the question though, how does a first free freezer get frost all over it and after defrosting, will it happen again?

Thanks Again

Re: LG GWB227YSAA Freezer Not Cooling after Power Cut

Is there a way I can take the back cover inside the fridge out to check for frost?

Re: LG GWB227YSAA Freezer Not Cooling after Power Cut

Thanks Bob. No visible signs of frost as it is nearly empty now besides the ice lollies – everything else I had to throw. See attached picture. I will try switch off at the weekend as we have too much in the fridge part at the moment to eat before we can switch off for two days.

Is there anything else I can try that is quicker maybe?

Thanks again
