LG LSXS26326S/02 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

LG manufactures the LSXS26326S side-by-side refrigerator. When you’re ordering replacement parts or checking specifications, match the full model number LSXS26326S in the LSXS26326S owner's manual to ensure you’re getting LG-compatible components.

How to confirm you have the right manufacturer and model

• Check the rating label inside the fresh food compartment (typically on a side wall).
• Verify the model number reads LSXS26326S (not a similar LSXS-series model).
• Use the manual to confirm features like ice maker, water filter type, and dispenser configuration.
• When buying parts, match by model number first, then confirm the part ID.

Common LG parts you may see for this model

If you’re troubleshooting or ordering parts for an LG LSXS26326S, these are examples of LG-labeled components commonly associated with this model page:

Part type	Example part name (from this model page)	Part ID
Water filtration	LG refrigerator water filter	ADQ73613401
Ice system	Refrigerator ice maker	AEQ73130002
Water supply	Refrigerator water inlet valve	AJU34125555
Sealed system	Refrigerator compressor	TCA38091801

Why it matters

Manufacturer and model identification prevents ordering the wrong refrigerator parts (like a water filter, ice maker, or control board) that may not fit, seal correctly, or connect to the LG wiring and water line fittings used on the LSXS26326S.

Yes, the LG LSXS26326S is worth buying when you want a straightforward, full-size side-by-side refrigerator with convenient door ice and water and an easy-to-organize freezer. Value is strongest when the unit is in good condition and you can keep up with routine maintenance like filter changes.

Quick checklist: when it’s a good buy

• You want door ice and water for daily convenience.
• You prefer a side-by-side layout for easy access to frozen foods.
• The doors seal tightly and close smoothly (no warm spots or sweating).
• The dispenser works consistently (no slow water flow or clumping ice).
• You can follow the care and operating guidance in the LSXS26326S owner’s manual.

What to inspect before you buy (new or used)

Focus on the items that most affect cooling performance, noise, and long-term cost.

What to check	What “good” looks like	What it can indicate if not OK
Cooling	Fresh food stays near 37°F; freezer near 0°F	Sealed system or airflow issue
Door seal	Gasket grips paper all around	Air leaks, frost, higher energy use
Ice maker	Steady ice production; cubes not fused	Fill issues, temperature swings
Water dispenser	Strong, steady flow	Filter restriction or valve issue

Parts and maintenance that affect “worth it”

A side-by-side’s value depends heavily on keeping the water system and airflow healthy.

• Replace the water filter on schedule; for this model, the common replacement is the LG refrigerator water filter ADQ73613401.
• If water flow is weak even with a fresh filter, the refrigerator water inlet valve AJU34125555 is a common suspect.
• Keep condenser areas clean; restricted airflow can raise temps and increase compressor run time.

Why it matters

A refrigerator can look great but still cost you in spoiled food, nuisance ice and water issues, or higher energy use if the door gasket, filter system, or cooling airflow is neglected. A quick inspection plus basic maintenance keeps the LSXS26326S performing like it should.

Cooling problems are the most common issue we see with LG refrigerators, including the LG LSXS26326S side-by-side. Symptoms usually include warm temperatures in the fresh food section and freezer, longer run times, and sometimes unusual compressor noise; many “not cooling” complaints trace back to airflow, condenser maintenance, or sealed-system components.

Most common symptoms customers notice

• Refrigerator section is warm but freezer seems “kind of cold”
• Freezer is warming up or ice cream is soft
• Unit runs constantly or cycles more often than normal
• Clicking, buzzing, or humming from the back or bottom
• Frost buildup that blocks vents and reduces airflow
• Water leaking or puddles near the front

Quick checks we recommend first (before replacing parts)

1. Confirm settings: Set refrigerator to about 37°F and freezer to about 0°F.
2. Check airflow: Make sure vents inside both compartments are not blocked by food.
3. Clean the condenser area: Dust buildup reduces heat release and can cause poor cooling.
4. Listen for fans: You should typically hear an evaporator fan inside and a condenser fan near the compressor.
5. Look for simple door issues: A poor seal can mimic a cooling failure.

Parts that commonly relate to “not cooling” or poor cooling

Symptom	Common area	Example part for LSXS26326S
Warm fridge and freezer, loud running	Sealed system/compressor	Refrigerator compressor TCA38091801
Poor cooling after heavy use, dusty back	Condenser heat exchange	Refrigerator condenser coil ACG73748502
Temps fluctuate, odd behavior	Controls/sensors circuit	LG refrigerator electronic control board EBR80977527

Why it matters

A refrigerator that cannot shed heat efficiently or move cold air correctly will struggle to hold safe food temperatures. Catching airflow and condenser issues early can prevent longer run times, higher energy use, and more severe cooling failures.

In an LG side-by-side refrigerator like model LSXS26326S, the most commonly replaced parts are usually in the cooling, ice and water, and door-sealing systems. These parts wear from normal use, mineral buildup, or airflow restrictions; replacing them often restores proper temperature and dispensing.

Commonly replaced refrigerator parts (and what they do)

• Water filter: Improves taste and helps protect the water system from sediment buildup.
• Water inlet valve: Opens to send water to the dispenser and ice maker.
• Ice maker components: Make and move ice; failures cause no ice, small cubes, or jams.
• Door gasket: Seals cold air in; leaks cause warm temps, frost, and long run times.
• Electronic control board: Manages cooling and defrost functions.
• Condenser fan and condenser coil: Remove heat; problems can cause poor cooling and overheating.

Model LSXS26326S parts we see replaced often

Here are examples of common replacements available for this model:

Symptom you notice	Likely system	Example part for LSXS26326S
Bad-tasting water, slow dispensing	Filtration	LG refrigerator water filter ADQ73613401
No water or no ice	Water supply	Refrigerator water inlet valve AJU34125555
Ice clumping, not dispensing	Ice handling	Refrigerator ice maker and auger motor assembly EAU61004410
Moisture, frost, warm spots near door	Door seal	Refrigerator door gasket 4987JJ1010Z
Warm fridge and loud or no fan noise	Heat removal	Refrigerator condenser coil ACG73748502

Quick checks before you order a part

• Confirm the symptom (no ice vs. no dispensing vs. slow fill).
• Replace the water filter first if flow is weak or ice is hollow.
• Check door gaskets for gaps, tears, or debris along the sealing surface.
• Vacuum dust from the condenser area to improve airflow.
• Use the troubleshooting and part diagrams in the LSXS26326S owner's manual to match the correct component.

Why it matters

Replacing the right part prevents food spoilage, reduces energy use, and avoids repeat failures (for example, a restricted filter can mimic a weak inlet valve, and a leaking gasket can mimic a cooling problem).
