LG fridge making clicking noise, then stops cooling, Calgary cold winter

Tyler Brown · · 3 replies

My LG fridge in Calgary has been making a clicking noise every few minutes, then it suddenly stopped cooling. It’s about 4 years old. The environment is cold since it's winter here (-10°C). Could the cold be affecting the fridge electronics? Any fixes I can try?

Clicks are usually the compressor trying to start but failing. Cold can thicken oil, making it hard to start.

Try unplugging it for 10 minutes and plugging back in, sometimes resets the board.

If it’s under warranty, call LG support. Cold can affect performance but not usually electronics.
