What is the most common problem with LG refrigerators?
For the LG LFXC24726S, the most common service issue we see across LG refrigerators is cooling trouble (warm fresh-food section or freezer), which can be caused by airflow problems, dirty condenser coils, a failing fan, or sealed-system/compressor-related problems. Use the LFXC24726S owner’s manual to confirm control settings and basic checks.
What to check first (fast, no parts)
- Make sure the refrigerator is not in Display Mode (store mode), which turns cooling off.
- Confirm temperature settings and allow 24 hours after changes for temperatures to stabilize.
- Check that air vents inside the refrigerator and freezer are not blocked by food packages.
- Verify doors close and seal fully; gaps can cause warm temps and frost.
- Listen for fans: you should typically hear airflow when doors are closed.
Common causes and the parts that often relate
If basic checks do not help, these components are common suspects on this model family:
- Condenser coil packed with dust (reduces heat removal): refrigerator condenser coil ACG73645004
- Condenser fan not running (poor heat rejection): refrigerator condenser fan EAU62025701
- Evaporator fan not running (poor cold-air circulation): refrigerator evaporator fan motor EAU61524007
- Defrost system issues leading to frost buildup and blocked airflow: refrigerator defrost sensor assembly 6615JB2005R
- Compressor or start components (no/weak cooling): refrigerator compressor TCA38091801 and refrigerator compressor start relay EBG60663230
Symptom-to-likely-cause guide
| What you notice | Often points to | Typical next step |
|---|---|---|
| Freezer cold, fridge warm | Airflow/evaporator fan, frost blockage | Check vents, listen for fan, inspect for frost |
| Both sections warm | Compressor/start components, control issue, dirty coils | Clean coils, verify fans, then diagnose compressor circuit |
| Frost buildup, weak airflow | Defrost sensor/heater issue, door sealing | Check door seal, look for heavy frost patterns |
| Noisy operation | Fan blade rubbing, fan motor wear | Inspect fan area for ice or obstructions |
Why it matters
Cooling problems can spoil food quickly and can also force the compressor to run longer, increasing energy use and wear. Catching airflow and maintenance issues early can prevent bigger repairs.

What is the capacity of LFXC24726S?
The LG LFXC24726S refrigerator has a total capacity of 23.7 cu. ft. This is the overall storage volume across the fresh food and freezer sections for this model family; see the specifications section in the LFXC24726S owner’s manual for related model details.
What “23.7 cu. ft.” means
Capacity is the combined interior volume of the refrigerator and freezer compartments. It helps you compare how much food storage you get across similar French door and bottom-freezer designs.
- It is a total number (not just the refrigerator section).
- Real usable space varies with shelves, bins, and ice storage.
- A full ice bin and bulky packaging can reduce practical storage.
- Capacity is most useful for comparing models, not measuring exact fit for every item.
Quick spec snapshot (model context)
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Model | LFXC24726S |
| Total capacity | 23.7 cu. ft. |
| Refrigerator type | French door / bottom freezer |
Why it matters
Knowing the capacity helps us confirm you are shopping the right size refrigerator for your kitchen and household. It also helps when planning organization, especially if you use features like the in-door ice bin and adjustable shelving.

What do you call the bottom part of the refrigerator?
On the LG LFXC24726S, the “bottom part” usually refers to the freezer drawer area (the bottom-mount freezer). It can also mean the lower rear service area underneath the cabinet where key cooling components like the compressor and condenser system are located (see the LFXC24726S manual).
Common names for the “bottom part”
Depending on what you’re pointing to, people use different names:
- Freezer drawer: the bottom compartment that stores frozen food
- Lower basket / Durabase: the large storage bin area inside the freezer drawer
- Pullout drawer: the upper sliding drawer inside the freezer section
- Toe grille / kickplate: the trim panel at the very bottom front (if equipped)
- Machine compartment: the lower rear area where the cooling system components sit
What’s actually down there on this model
The owner’s manual for LG LFXC24726S describes a bottom-freezer layout with freezer storage components (Durabase, divider, pullout drawer) and also identifies the refrigerator and freezer sections.
| If you mean this area | Common name | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Bottom compartment you pull out | Freezer drawer | Stores frozen food |
| Large bin inside the freezer | Durabase | Holds bulky frozen items |
| Lower rear area under/behind unit | Machine compartment | Houses cooling-system components |
Parts you might hear associated with the “bottom”
If you’re asking because you’re troubleshooting noise, heat, or poor cooling, these parts are often involved:
- Compressor (drives refrigerant through the sealed system)
- Condenser coil (releases heat)
- Condenser fan (moves air across the condenser)
For example, the refrigerator compressor TCA38091801 is one of the key components located in the lower service area.
Why it matters
Using the right term helps you get the right diagram, instructions, and replacement part. “Bottom freezer drawer” issues are usually storage/door/rail related, while “machine compartment” issues are typically cooling or airflow related.
