[LG refrigerator - Refrigeration] Do you feel that the refrigeration compartment temperature is not cold enough?

Troubleshooting

Try this

If the temperature indication is in deep blue: the temperature inside the refrigeration compartment is normal.
If the temperature indication is light sky blue:

Did you use Fast Freeze, Fast Cooling, or -35 C Freeze?

1. Refrigeration may be weak if the temperature set on the display is low.
If the refrigeration compartment temperature is set at 5℃ to 6℃, refrigeration may be weak.
Press the refrigeration temperature button on the display and set it between 0℃ and 3℃.

Indication colors by temperature
※ Color may look different depending on the resolution of the monitor.

2. If too much food is stored or if the cooling air outlet is blocked by food, refrigeration may be weakened due to a failure in cooling air circulation.
Press the refrigeration temperature button on the display and set it between 0℃ and 3℃.

※ If too much food is stored, remember that it is recommended that you only fill up to 60% of the refrigeration space with food.
This helps ensure optimal circulation of cooling air and maintain optimal temperatures.

Wrong example: too much food storage. A good example: 60 percent of food storage

※ Ensure that the cooling air outlet inside the refrigerator is not blocked by food by keeping food away from the cooling air outlet.

Correct example: Organize the food in front of the air circulation hole

3. If the door or the magic space is not closed tightly, warm air may be introduced from outside and thus may weaken refrigeration performance.
Food storage might have interfered with the tight closing of the door or the magic space.

Storage food interference causing doors to close less

If any food kept on a rack protrudes, push it back further inside the rack.

Pushing food in front of the door inwards

Ensure that bottles in the door bottle holder stand upright.

Straightening the slanted bottle on the door bottle rack

※ Right after new installation or repair of the refrigerator, the refrigeration compartment may not be cold.

What is the indicated temperature?
The color of this indication changes with varying temperatures: the lower the temperature, the bluer the color.
You can visually check the temperature inside the refrigerator by checking the color of the indicated temperature.
How to check the indicated temperature

Do you feel that the refrigeration compartment temperature is not cold enough?

1. Check the indicated temperature at the left side of the refrigeration compartment.
The indication changes its color as the refrigeration compartment temperature changes.
If the color of the indication is thick and the letters are clearly seen, then the refrigeration compartment temperature is normal.

2. Assuming that the room temperature is 25 degrees, if you leave the door of the refrigeration compartment open for 1 to 2 minutes the refrigeration compartment temperature will rise, and the color of the indication will become thinner and the letters will become blurred.
If you close the door and let about 1 hour elapse, the temperature will go down with the color of the indication growing thicker and the letters becoming clearer.
The color of the label has become lighter because the door has been open for a long time
3. The time taken to change the color may vary with the food storage conditions and the environment.
If newly purchased or hot foods are placed near the temperature indicator, more time will be taken for the color become thicker.
Close the door and wait. Back to normal temperature

※ If you are curious about whether the color of the indicator is maintained as thick or thin, you can check it by wiping the indicator with your fingers.
