[LG refrigerator refrigeration] The food in the fridge is frozen.

Troubleshooting

Is the food stored in the fridge frozen? Are watery foods such as fruits, vegetables and tofu frozen?

There is an outlet inside the fridge shelf where cold air comes out.
Cold air close to 0℃ comes out of here, so if the food is stored right by it, the food may be frozen.

Causes and Symptoms

  • The temperature setting for the fridge is too low.
  • The food was stored near a place where cold air comes out.
  • Too much food, enough to reach the top of the fridge is stored in the fridge, covering the temperature sensor.

Try this

Is the temperature for the fridge set low at [High] (0~1℃)?

➔ Set the temperature for the fridge higher to [Medium] or [Low] (3~6℃).

The possible temperatures and how to set the temperature and function settings may differ by model.
So, do not store food that can be easily frozen, such as fruits, vegetables and tofu, etc., near this cold air outlet.

Describe the location of cold air in the refrigerator

Does the food cover the temperature sensor so that the refrigerator does not detect the temperature correctly?

➔ Organize the food so that it doesn't reach the top of the refrigerator.

The temperature sensor is usually located in the top of the fridge.
If the temperature sensor is covered by food, it measures the temperature of the refrigerator as high, producing more cold air and lowering the temperature excessively.

Is the refrigerator in a cold place or outside, such as on a balcony?

➔ Refrigerators operate best in locations where the ambient temperature is between 5℃ and 43℃.

If the refrigerator is installed in a location that is too cold, food may freeze regardless of the fridge temperature setting
If you have installed the refrigerator outside, such as on a balcony, it is advisable to move it to a room where it is less affected by the ambient temperature conditions.
