LG lfc24770st French door refrigerator with bottom freezer. Coils are clean, fan runs. Light and temp display function. I checked the relay, for continuity, and it seemed OK. The There is no visible damage to the start capacitor. The fridge and freezer are warm, and the compressor doesn’t seem to turn on.
Hi @scott320 , Can you check if there is power available to the compressor motor when it fails to start? Be safety aware if you try this. If the problem is the compressor, according to this link there is a 5 or 10 year manufacturer’s warranty on the compressor (depending on type - click on Warranty information “Details” link) Have you seen this in regard to LG compressors? Just some thoughts
First thing that comes to mind - If it has auto defrost, check the auto defrost timer and make sure it is running. You may be able to advance it by hand. Another possibility - check the thermostat by disconnecting the leads and shorting them together to simulate the call for cooling. If that turns it on then you need a new thermostat. Good luck
