LG LMXS28626D/04 refrigerator Parts

The LG LMXS28626D bottom-mount refrigerator has a total capacity of about 27.8 cu. ft. This is the overall storage volume across the fresh food and freezer compartments, and it helps you compare space between similar LG French door style refrigerators.

We recommend checking the capacity listing in the LMXS28626D owner's manual, especially if you are comparing against another refrigerator or planning cabinet space and food storage.

• Look for “Total capacity” or “Total volume” in the specifications section
• Note that usable space can feel different based on shelf and bin layout
• Door bins and ice maker components can reduce practical storage room
• If you use an air filter or water filter, it does not change capacity, but it can affect how you organize items

Capacity is the quickest way to compare “how much it holds,” but day-to-day usability also depends on shelf adjustability, freezer drawer layout, and whether you store tall items (pitchers, party trays) in the fresh food section.

For LG refrigerators like model LMXS28626D, the most common service issue is loss of cooling, often tied to the sealed cooling system (compressor-related) or airflow problems. The next most frequent complaints are ice maker issues, water leaks, and temperature swings.

• Refrigerator section is warm but freezer is still partly cold
• Clicking, humming, or unusually loud running sounds
• Ice maker stops producing ice or makes small/hollow cubes
• Water pooling under the refrigerator or inside the fresh food section
• Frost buildup on the back wall or uneven temperatures

Start with these basics before replacing parts:

• Confirm temperature settings: 37°F fresh food, 0°F freezer
• Make sure vents are not blocked by food packages
• Clean condenser area and verify the condenser fan runs
• Check door seals for gaps and torn sections
• Replace filters on schedule (water and air) to prevent flow and odor issues

Cooling problems can lead to food spoilage quickly, and airflow or drain issues can create recurring temperature swings, frost, and leaks. Catching the symptom early usually reduces the number of parts involved and the time the refrigerator is down.

• Use the troubleshooting and diagnostic steps in the LMXS28626D manual.
• If the issue is ice or water related, follow the steps in how to prevent water dispenser and ice maker problems.

On the LG LMXS28626D, leaking from the bottom is usually caused by a clogged defrost drain that overflows into the base, a water supply connection issue (dispenser or ice maker), or warm air leaks at the door gasket that create excess condensation. Start with the drain and water line checks.

• Look for water under the crisper area (often points to a defrost drain issue).
• Check the freezer floor for a thin sheet of ice (common when the drain is restricted).
• Inspect the water line and fittings behind the refrigerator for drips.
• Check the ice maker fill area for splashing or overflow.
• Confirm doors close fully and seals sit flat all the way around.

1. Defrost drain and drain tube: Clear food debris or ice that blocks the drain path; flush with warm water. If the tube is damaged or won’t stay clear, replace the refrigerator drain tube 5251JA3003D.
2. Water inlet valve and supply line: A seeping valve or loose compression fitting can drip down and pool under the unit. If the valve body is cracked or leaking, replace the LG refrigerator water inlet valve AJU72992601.
3. Door seal and alignment: A poor seal lets humid air in, creating heavy condensation that can run down and collect at the bottom. Use the leveling and door adjustment guidance in the LMXS28626D owner's manual.

Bottom leaks can lead to floor damage and can also indicate airflow or defrost drainage problems that eventually affect cooling performance and ice maker reliability.
