re: Freezer out in LG Refridgerator

About a year ago I noticed my fridge wasn't as cold as it should be and got busy checking it out.
First thing I did was take a long nozzle on my vacuum and cleaned the coils on the underside of the unit as they were getting a lot of dust and cat hair accumulating on them.
Then I took everything out the freezer and removed all the back panels and saw the cooling coils in it were jammed with ice. The wife's hair dryer made quick work with defrosting it and I put it all back together.
It worked fine for a few days and just when we thought we dodged a $$$$ bullet, it went out again. It was a fairly old unit so we just went out and got a new one and relegated the old one to the man cave where it died one more time before going curbside.

Because you didn't fix the problem you only fixed the problem the problem caused.
Ice forms as frost solidifies due to defrost failure. Melting it only fixed it for a few days. You need the fridge to melt it daily. Likely the timer or the thermostat was the culprit.
Easy cheap fixes. Unless it was a GE then your dodged a bullet.
