LG LSXS26336S/00 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

For the LG LSXS26336S side-by-side refrigerator, the compressor warranty is typically 10 years for parts and 5 years for labor (for the Linear/Inverter compressor). For the complete, model-specific warranty terms and coverage details, use the LSXS26336S owner’s manual.

What’s usually covered (and what to verify)

Warranty coverage can vary by purchase date and region, so we recommend confirming the exact terms for your unit. Common items to check include:

• Compressor coverage (parts vs. labor)
• Sealed system coverage (if listed separately)
• Coverage length for other components (controls, fans, icemaker, dispenser)
• What counts as normal household use
• Exclusions (installation issues, water supply problems, cosmetic damage)

Quick warranty snapshot

Component	Typical coverage you’ll see referenced	Notes
Linear/Inverter compressor	10 years parts, 5 years labor	Confirm exact wording for your serial number
Other refrigerator parts	Varies	Often shorter than compressor coverage

Why it matters

Warranty terms affect whether a cooling problem is handled as a covered compressor/sealed-system repair or as a standard parts repair. That can change your next step, especially if you are considering replacing major components like the refrigerator compressor TCA38091801.

Cooling problems are the most common issue we see across LG refrigerators, including the LG LSXS26336S; symptoms often include warm temperatures in the fresh food and freezer sections, longer run times, or unusual compressor-related noises. Many “not cooling” complaints trace back to airflow, heat removal, or sealed-system components.

Most common symptoms customers notice

• Refrigerator section is warm but freezer is also warming
• Food spoils faster than normal, ice cream is soft
• Unit runs constantly or cycles oddly
• Clicking, buzzing, or louder-than-usual operating sounds
• Frost buildup or moisture inside from restricted airflow

Quick checks we recommend first (before replacing parts)

Use the LSXS26336S manual for control settings and operating checks; then work through these basics:

• Confirm the unit is not in Demo/Display mode (cooling disabled)
• Verify temperature settings and allow 24 hours after changes
• Make sure air vents are not blocked by food packages
• Clean dust from condenser area to improve heat removal
• Check door seals for gaps that let warm air leak in

Parts that commonly relate to “not cooling” on this model

If basic checks do not help, these model-compatible parts are often involved in cooling complaints:

What’s failing	What you may notice	Example model-compatible part
Compressor or start components	Warm temps, clicking, no steady cooling	Refrigerator compressor TCA38091801
Condenser heat removal	Runs a lot, poor cooling in hot rooms	Refrigerator condenser coil ACG73748502
Air circulation in cabinet	Warm fridge, uneven temps, frost patterns	Refrigerator evaporator fan motor EAU63103201

Why it matters

A refrigerator that cannot move heat out (condenser side) or move cold air through the compartments (airflow side) will struggle to hold safe food temperatures. Catching airflow and maintenance issues early can prevent bigger cooling failures.

On an LG LSXS26336S side-by-side refrigerator, the CF E code points to a condenser fan problem (the fan not running correctly or an issue in the condenser fan circuit). Use the troubleshooting and component information in the LSXS26336S owner’s manual to confirm the fan location and safe access steps.

What to check first (safe, quick checks)

• Power reset: Unplug the refrigerator for 5 minutes, then plug it back in.
• Airflow around the cabinet: Make sure the unit has clearance and nothing is blocking airflow at the back or bottom.
• Dust buildup: Heavy dust on the condenser area can make the fan work harder.
• Listen for the fan: When the compressor is running, you should typically hear airflow from the machine compartment.
• Look for obstructions: A loose wire, insulation, or debris can stop the fan blade.

Parts commonly involved with a CF E code

If the code returns after a reset and basic cleaning, the issue is often in the condenser fan motor area or its wiring.

• Refrigerator condenser fan motor EAU63103207
• Refrigerator condenser fan motor damper 5040JA2009A
• Refrigerator condenser coil ACG73748502

Symptoms and likely causes

What you notice	What it often means	What to do next
Refrigerator warm, freezer warming, CF E showing	Condenser fan not moving heat off the condenser	Inspect fan for blockage; check motor operation
Loud buzzing/rubbing near back/bottom	Fan blade hitting something or failing motor	Clear obstruction; inspect fan mount and wiring
Code appears after moving/cleaning	Connector loosened or wire pinched	Reseat connectors; check harness routing

Why it matters

The condenser fan helps remove heat so the compressor can cool efficiently. If the fan is stalled or the circuit is failing, temperatures can rise and the refrigerator may run longer than normal.

For the LG LSXS26336S side-by-side refrigerator, the most common disadvantages are higher repair complexity and cost when cooling (sealed-system) or dispenser systems act up, plus more routine upkeep for the ice and water system. For model-specific operation and care, use the LSXS26336S owner’s manual.

Common disadvantages customers notice (and what they usually involve)

• Cooling problems feel “bigger”: sealed-system issues can be more involved than simple airflow fixes.
• Ice maker and dispenser hassles: slow ice, clumping, jams, or dispenser door problems.
• Water system sensitivity: low supply pressure or air in the line can reduce water flow and ice production.
• More electronics to diagnose: sensors and control boards add features but can add troubleshooting steps.
• Maintenance is less optional: filters and condenser cleaning matter more on dispenser models.

LSXS26336S water pressure requirements (model-specific)

Your LSXS26336S needs the correct water pressure for reliable ice and water dispensing:

Setup	Required water pressure
Models without a water filter	20 to 120 psi (138 to 827 kPa)
Models with a water filter	40 to 120 psi (276 to 827 kPa)

If pressure is below spec, you can see slow fill, hollow cubes, or no ice.

Parts that commonly relate to these complaints on this model

If you are troubleshooting a symptom (not just comparing brands), these parts are often involved:

• Cooling performance: refrigerator compressor TCA38091801
• Ice production: refrigerator ice maker AEQ73130002
• Water quality and flow: LG lt1000p refrigerator water filter ADQ74793501

Why it matters

A side-by-side like the LG LSXS26336S combines a sealed refrigeration system with an automatic icemaker and filtered dispenser. When water pressure is out of range, airflow is blocked, or maintenance is overdue, performance drops quickly and repairs can be more complex.

Practical ways to reduce the downsides

• Keep interior air vents clear; avoid packing food tightly against vents.
• Replace the water filter approximately every 6 months (per the manual).
• Verify the water supply meets the pressure range above.
• Clean condenser coils periodically to support efficient cooling.
• Allow 24 hours between temperature adjustments.
