LG LFXS28968S/00 refrigerator Parts

For the LG LFXS28968S, we recommend leaving at least 2 inches behind the refrigerator for airflow and connections, plus 24 inches in front so the French doors can open properly. For the most accurate placement details, follow the LFXS28968S owner’s manual.

These clearances come from the installation guidance for the LFXS28968* platform.

• Back clearance: 2 in. (50 mm)
• Front clearance: 24 in. (610 mm) for door and drawer access
• Plan for the installation path: measure doorways and tight turns before moving the unit in
• Leave room for hookups: water line and power cord need space behind the unit

Proper clearance helps your LG refrigerator cool efficiently and helps prevent higher energy use caused by restricted airflow. It also reduces the chance of vibration noise from the cabinet or wall contact.

The manual provides the model-specific dimensions and “dimensions and clearances” guidance, but cabinet-side clearance can vary based on your kitchen layout and how the doors need to swing.

• Confirm you can fully open both French doors without hitting trim or handles
• Make sure the freezer drawer can pull out without binding
• Avoid pushing the cabinet tight against the wall if it causes door interference

On the LG LFXS28968S bottom-mount refrigerator, the most common “problem” customers report is a cooling or ice-making issue caused by airflow restrictions, frost/ice buildup from a defrost or drain issue, or a failed cooling-system component. We use the troubleshooting steps in the LFXS28968S owner’s manual to narrow it down safely.

• Not cooling or weak cooling: blocked vents, dirty condenser area, or a failed cooling component
• Warm refrigerator but freezer seems OK: airflow problem (blocked vents) or evaporator fan issue
• Frost/ice buildup: defrost system problem or a clogged drain path
• Water leaking or puddles: drain system not clearing meltwater properly
• No ice or slow ice production: water supply/pressure, filter restriction, or icemaker-related issue

• Confirm the control panel is not in Demo/Display Mode (cooling disabled).
• Set temps to a good baseline: 37°F refrigerator and 0°F freezer.
• Make sure food packages are not blocking interior air vents.
• Listen for the evaporator fan (you should typically hear airflow when the unit is running).
• Clean dust from the condenser cover/vent area (unplug first).

If troubleshooting points to a specific failure, these model-compatible parts are commonly involved:

Cooling and defrost problems can snowball quickly: restricted airflow can cause temperature swings, excess frost, and longer run times. Catching the root cause early helps protect food quality and reduces the chance of a bigger repair.

For the LG LFXS28968S refrigerator, the limited warranty coverage depends on the component: the refrigerator/freezer is covered for 1 year (parts and labor), the sealed system is covered for 5 years (parts and labor), and the compressor is covered for 5 years (parts and labor) with linear/inverter compressor parts-only coverage for years 6–10.

Use this as a quick reference for the most common warranty periods on this model; for full terms and exclusions, see the LFXS28968S owner's manual.

• Refrigerator/freezer (internal/functional parts): 1 year parts and labor
• Sealed system (condenser, dryer, connecting tube, evaporator): 5 years parts and labor
• Compressor: 5 years parts and labor
• Linear/inverter compressor (additional coverage): years 6–10 parts only (labor not included)

These categories matter because they have different warranty lengths.

If you’re troubleshooting a cooling issue and a technician confirms a compressor-related failure, the compatible replacement part for this model is the refrigerator compressor TCA38091801.

Knowing which system is covered helps you decide whether to schedule service right away (especially for sealed system or compressor concerns) and what documentation you may need, such as proof of purchase and the model/serial information.
