LG Compressor Repair — Greenstone Hill
When the compressor on your LG appliance in Greenstone Hill fails, the whole cooling chain stops. The compressor is the heart of the sealed system — it pumps refrigerant through the evaporator and condenser. On LG units a failing compressor may stall, short-cycle on the overload, or run without pumping. We measure winding resistance, start-current and suction/discharge pressures before condemning it.
Compressor Diagnostics
The compressor is the heart of the sealed system — it pumps refrigerant through the evaporator and condenser. On LG units a failing compressor may stall, short-cycle on the overload, or run without pumping. We measure winding resistance, start-current and suction/discharge pressures before condemning it.
Diagnostic Steps
- Measure compressor winding resistance (run/start/common)
- Check start-current and overload operation
- Compare suction and discharge pressures to spec
- Verify the inverter board drive signal (inverter models)
- Recover and weigh the refrigerant charge
Common Failures
- Stalled or seized compressor
- Open or shorted windings
- Valve failure — runs but won't pump
- Overload cycling
- Refrigerant loss from a sealed-system leak
