Common problems
Sound familiar?
These are the refrigerator problems David sees most often in Broward County, and what usually causes them.
Running but not cooling
A classic LG linear compressor failure: it hums but doesn't cool. David confirms the cause and gives you an honest recommendation.
ER-CO error code
ER-CO is LG's communication error: the main control board and the display board have stopped talking to each other. David checks the wiring between them and tests both boards.
ER-FS or ER-RS code
A faulty freezer or fridge sensor throws off the cooling control. David replaces the failed thermistor and checks the temperatures.
Fresh-food side warm, freezer cold
It's usually a stalled evaporator fan or a stuck airflow damper. David replaces the fan motor or damper and restores circulation.
Loud buzzing or knocking compressor
A dying LG linear compressor rattles and knocks before it quits. David diagnoses it and tells you whether to repair or replace.
Ice cream soft, milk spoils fast
It's usually refrigerant loss from the sealed system or a weak compressor. David leak-tests the sealed system and tells you honestly whether a repair makes sense.
Compressor short-cycles on and off
It's often a failing inverter linear board or overload relay. David tests the board and the start components.
Main control board not responding
A burned-out main control board can cut off cooling commands entirely. David reads the board's fault history and replaces it.
Water pooling under the crispers
A clogged or frozen defrost drain backs up meltwater. David clears the drain line and defrost path.
Frost building on back panel
A failed defrost sensor or heater lets ice choke the evaporator. David finds the failed part and restores the defrost cycle.

What actually goes wrong
If your LG refrigerator is humming but the food stays warm, you're not imagining it. LG's linear compressor has a well-documented failure history and often quits within 2 to 5 years. LG refrigerator repair starts with David, the owner and only technician at Boroshno Appliance Repair. He tests the compressor, sealed system, and control board himself and gives you a straight answer on what's wrong and whether a repair makes sense.
LG's linear compressor is the leading culprit. It has a widespread defect and often fails within 2 to 5 years, leaving the unit running without cooling. Sealed-system refrigerant leaks and a failing inverter board follow close behind. Florida's heat pushes the compressor harder, hard water clogs defrost drains, and summer power surges hit the sensitive main board and inverter electronics.

Highly recommend! He was incredibly responsive and reliable, and was able to come out quickly to fix my dishwasher.

I can’t thank David enough for fixing my oven. My neighbor recommended him, and I’m so glad they did. He was quick to respond, explained exactly what was going on, ordered the parts, and got everything working again. Reliable, easy to work with, and clearly knows what he’s doing. Highly recommend.
