LG LMXS27626S/00 refrigerator Parts

For the LG LMXS27626S bottom-mount refrigerator, the cabinet dimensions are 35 3/4 in. wide x 35 3/8 in. deep x 69 3/4 in. high. With the door open, depth is 47 5/8 in. These specs are listed in the LMXS27626S owner's manual.

Dimensions and clearance you should plan for

Use the refrigerator dimensions for fit, then add clearance so doors open fully and airflow stays normal.

• Width: 35 3/4 in.
• Depth (doors closed): 35 3/8 in.
• Height: 69 3/4 in.
• Depth (door open): 47 5/8 in.
• Recommended clearance: 24 in. in front for door swing
• Recommended clearance: 2 in. behind the refrigerator

Quick spec table

Measurement	LMXS27626S spec
Width	35 3/4 in.
Depth (closed)	35 3/8 in.
Height	69 3/4 in.
Depth (door open)	47 5/8 in.

Why it matters

Correct sizing prevents installation headaches like doors that cannot open fully, poor ventilation that can raise energy use, and difficulty sliding the unit out for service.

Related setup tips from the manual

• Install where ambient temperature stays between 55°F and 110°F.
• Plan for water supply requirements if you use the ice maker or dispenser.
• If you must move the refrigerator through a narrow opening, removing doors and handles is a common approach (steps are in the manual).

Most LG refrigerators, including the LG LMXS27626S, typically last 10 to 15 years with normal home use. Consistent maintenance (cleaning coils, keeping door seals tight, and changing filters on schedule) is what most often determines whether you land closer to 10 years or closer to 15.

What affects lifespan the most

• Condenser cleanliness: Dust buildup makes the sealed system work harder.
• Door gasket condition: Air leaks cause longer run times and temperature swings.
• Water and air filter maintenance: Helps airflow and reduces odors and restrictions.
• Proper temperatures: Refrigerator near 37°F, freezer near 0°F.
• Good airflow inside: Avoid overpacking vents and return-air paths.

Quick maintenance schedule (simple and realistic)

Task	Typical frequency	What it helps prevent
Clean condenser area	Every 6 to 12 months	Poor cooling, compressor strain
Check/clean door gaskets	Every 3 months	Frost, warm spots, high energy use
Replace air filter	About every 6 months	Odors, stale air
Replace water filter	About every 6 months (or by usage)	Slow dispensing, taste/odor issues

For model-specific care steps and locations of service areas, use the LMXS27626S owner’s manual.

Parts that commonly support long life

If you are keeping up with routine care, these are common wear items we see customers replace to keep performance strong:

• LG refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408 (odor control and airflow support)
• Door gasket (helps prevent air leaks and frost)
• Water filter components (helps maintain dispenser flow)

Why it matters

A refrigerator that runs longer than necessary (because of dirty coils, leaky gaskets, or restricted airflow) puts extra load on the sealed system. Reducing run time and keeping temperatures stable is the most practical way to extend service life.

On the LG LMXS27626S, the “bottom part” is usually the freezer drawer section (since this is a bottom-mount refrigerator). If you mean the area underneath or behind the lower front grille, that lower compartment houses key cooling-system components like the compressor and condenser area; see the LMXS27626S owner’s manual for the component layout and names.

Common names for the “bottom part”

Depending on what you are pointing to, you will hear different terms:

• Freezer drawer: the bottom storage compartment for frozen food
• Lower kickplate or base grille: the trim panel at the very bottom front
• Machine compartment: the service area where major cooling parts live
• Drain pan area: where defrost water evaporates (typically near the bottom)

What you will find in each area

What you mean by “bottom”	What it does	Typical clues
Freezer drawer	Stores frozen food and helps maintain freezer temps	Pull-out drawer, baskets, frost/ice issues show up here
Base grille/kickplate	Covers the lower front and helps airflow	Vents, dust buildup, warm air discharge
Machine compartment	Runs the sealed system and rejects heat	Humming, heat, vibration, service access

Parts that are often associated with the lower section

If the issue is cooling, noise, or heat at the bottom/back, these model-specific parts are commonly involved:

• Refrigerator compressor TCA38091801 (main cooling pump)
• Refrigerator condenser coil ACG73784701 (releases heat)
• Refrigerator compressor start relay EBG60663230 (helps the compressor start)

Why it matters

Using the right name helps you troubleshoot faster and order the correct LG replacement part. For example, “freezer drawer not closing” points to door and drawer components, while “hot at the bottom/back” points to airflow, condenser cleaning, or compressor-related parts.

Cooling problems are the most common issue we see with LG refrigerators like model LMXS27626S; symptoms include warm fresh food or freezer temperatures, temperature swings, and unusual compressor-related noises. Ice maker and water dispensing issues are also frequent, often tied to water supply, filtration, or airflow problems.

Most common symptoms to watch for

• Fresh food section is warm but freezer seems OK (or the reverse)
• Refrigerator runs constantly or cycles too often
• Clicking, buzzing, or humming that changes as the unit tries to start cooling
• Ice maker stops making ice or makes small/hollow cubes
• Water dispenser flow is slow or sputters
• Frost buildup that blocks vents and reduces airflow

Quick checks we recommend first (before replacing parts)

1. Confirm temperatures: set refrigerator to about 37°F and freezer to about 0°F.
2. Check airflow: make sure vents are not blocked by food packages.
3. Clean condenser area: dust buildup reduces heat transfer and can cause poor cooling.
4. Verify door sealing: a leaking gasket causes long run times and temperature swings.
5. For water and ice issues: replace the water filter on schedule and purge air after changes.

Common causes and the parts typically involved

Problem area	What you notice	Parts often involved on LMXS27626S
Sealed system/cooling	Not cooling, warm spots, long run times	Compressor, start relay, condenser coil, evaporator fan system
Ice production	No ice, slow ice, clumping	Ice maker, water inlet valve
Odors/air quality	Food smells linger	Air filter
Door sealing	Moisture, frost, warm temps near doors	Door gasket

If you are troubleshooting cooling or start-up issues, the compressor start relay is a common failure point; for this model, see refrigerator compressor start relay EBG60663230. For odor complaints, the LG refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408 is the correct style listed for LMXS27626S.

Built-in help: Smart Diagnosis

Your LMXS27626S includes LG Smart Diagnosis, which can transmit data by phone to help pinpoint issues; the steps and when to use it are in the LMXS27626S owner’s manual.

Why it matters

Cooling and airflow problems can quickly lead to food spoilage and ice maker performance issues. Starting with airflow, cleaning, and sealing checks helps you avoid replacing parts that are not causing the problem.
