LG LDCS24223S/00 bottom-mount refrigerator Parts

On the LG LDCS24223S bottom-mount refrigerator, a bad compressor is most likely when the fridge is warm and you either hear repeated clicking from the machine compartment or the compressor never settles into a steady running hum. Because other parts can mimic compressor symptoms, we confirm basics before replacing anything.

Quick symptoms that point to the compressor (or its start circuit)

• Refrigerator and freezer temperatures keep rising even though the unit has power
• Repeated click every few minutes from the lower rear area (start attempt then shutdown)
• Compressor is extremely hot to the touch (after running attempts) and then stops
• Lights and control panel work, but cooling does not recover after several hours
• You do not hear the normal “steady run” sound, only brief tries

What to check first (before calling it a bad compressor)

Start with the items that commonly cause “no cool” and clicking:

• Make sure the refrigerator is not in Display Mode (store mode); the steps are in the LDCS24223S manual
• Verify the condenser area is not packed with dust and the airflow path is clear
• Listen for the evaporator fan inside the freezer; no airflow can look like a compressor problem
• Check door gaskets for gaps that can cause long run times and poor cooling
• If you have an error code, compare it to an LG bottom-freezer list (it can narrow the diagnosis)

Parts that are often involved when you hear clicking

Clicking is frequently the compressor trying to start and the protection device shutting it down.

What you notice	More likely cause	Example part for this model
Clicks, no steady run	Start/overload issue	Refrigerator compressor overload protector 6750CL0001D
Runs but cooling is weak	Airflow or sealed system issue	Condenser coil, evaporator fan, or compressor
No cooling and no compressor activity	Control or power issue	Wiring, control board, or start components

Why it matters

A compressor replacement is a major repair; confirming airflow, settings, and the start/overload components first can prevent replacing the wrong part and helps you decide when a sealed-system technician is the right next step.

On the LG LDCS24223S, the most common ice issue is the icemaker not producing ice because water cannot flow correctly (often from a restricted filter or low supply pressure) or because the icemaker is turned off or not cold enough yet. See the icemaker section in the LDCS24223S owner’s manual.

Most common causes to check first (LDCS24223S)

• Icemaker power switch is set to OFF (O).
• Freezer is not at ice-making temperature yet (new installs can take 12 to 24 hours to start making ice).
• Water supply valve is closed or the supply line is kinked.
• Household water pressure is too low for steady fills.
• Frost or debris is interfering with the icemaker sensor or shutoff arm.
• Ice cubes are clumping or jamming in the bin.

Quick checks that solve many “no ice” complaints

1. Confirm the icemaker switch is ON (I).
2. Make sure the freezer is cold enough and doors are closing fully.
3. Verify the shutoff valve is fully open and the water line is not pinched behind the refrigerator.
4. Dump old ice and check that nothing blocks the shutoff arm.
5. If water flow seems weak, replace the filter and purge the line.

When it points to a part

If the icemaker is ON, the freezer is cold, and you still get no ice (or very slow ice), the issue often narrows to the icemaker module or the water fill system.

Symptom	Most likely area	Common next step
No ice at all, no fill sounds	Water supply or inlet valve	Check supply pressure and valve operation
Icemaker cycles but no cubes form	Water fill problem	Inspect line for freezing, check inlet valve
Ice maker won’t cycle or stalls	Icemaker assembly	Inspect/replace icemaker

Model-matched parts you may need include the LG refrigerator ice maker assembly model AEQ72909603 AEQ72909603 and the LG refrigerator water inlet valve AJU73753101.

Why it matters

Ice production depends on two basics: proper freezer temperature and consistent water flow. Fixing the simple items first (switch setting, temperature, supply valve, filter) prevents unnecessary part replacement and gets ice back faster.

For the LG LDCS24223S bottom-mount refrigerator, the warranty terms vary by component. The model’s warranty section in the LDCS24223S owner’s manual is the right place to confirm what’s covered for parts and labor, including any longer coverage on the sealed system or compressor.

What we can confirm for this model

The model-specific manual includes a dedicated warranty section (listed in the table of contents). Because warranty coverage can differ by production version and region, we recommend using the warranty pages in the manual for the exact coverage periods and what is included.

• Look for the “WARRANTY” section near the back of the manual
• Verify coverage by component (example: sealed system vs. other parts)
• Confirm whether coverage is parts-only or parts-and-labor
• Check exclusions (cosmetic items, bins, damage from installation, etc.)
• Note proof-of-purchase requirements and service limitations

Quick warranty checklist (what to verify)

Warranty item	What to check in the warranty section	Why it matters
Full unit coverage	Length of parts and labor coverage	Determines if a service call is covered
Sealed system	Separate term and what components are included	Sealed-system repairs are typically higher cost
Compressor	Whether coverage is parts-only or includes labor	Impacts out-of-pocket repair cost

If you’re considering a compressor repair

Before buying a replacement compressor, confirm whether the compressor is still under warranty and whether labor is included. If you do need a replacement part for LDCS24223S, one compatible option listed for this model is the refrigerator compressor TCA38091801.

Why it matters

Warranty details help you decide whether to schedule warranty service through LG or proceed with a DIY repair using manufacturer-approved parts.

On the LG LDCS24223S bottom-mount refrigerator, ice collecting on the freezer floor is most often caused by a defrost drain that is blocked or slow; defrost water cannot reach the drain pan, so it refreezes at the bottom. Use the steps below to clear the drain and reduce repeat icing.

What to check first (quick diagnosis)

• Ice sheet mainly on the freezer floor: drain trough or drain tube is likely restricted.
• Water pooling then freezing after a defrost cycle: drain is not carrying water away fast enough.
• Frost around the drawer opening: warm, moist air may be leaking past the gasket.
• Heavy frost on the back freezer panel: can point to a defrost system problem, not just a drain issue.

For safe access and component orientation on this model, use the LDCS24223S manual.

How we recommend fixing a clogged drain

1. Unplug the refrigerator and remove the freezer drawers/baskets.
2. Melt the ice on the freezer floor using towels and warm air (no sharp tools).
3. Locate the drain opening in the drain trough and flush with hot water (a turkey baster works well).
4. If water still backs up, clear the drain tube from the trough downward until it drains freely.

If icing returns soon after clearing the drain

What you notice	Most likely cause	What to do next
Ice returns in a few days, little frost elsewhere	Drain tube still partially restricted	Repeat hot-water flush until flow is strong
Frost near door edges, drawer hard to close	Air leak at gasket	Clean gasket and mating surface; warm and reshape gasket if needed
Heavy frost on back panel, temps fluctuate	Defrost system issue	Check the model’s parts list for defrost-related components and test per service procedures

Parts that may be involved

A clogged drain is usually a cleaning issue, but repeat icing can be made worse by air leaks or defrost problems. For this model, a common air-leak related part is the refrigerator freezer door gasket ADX73350955.

Why it matters

When defrost water cannot drain, it refreezes into a thick ice layer that can block airflow, reduce freezer space, and eventually cause water leaks during thawing.
