How to find LG part number?
For your LG LRSC26925SW refrigerator, we find the correct LG part number by matching the part’s ID label (or stamped number) to the model’s parts list, then confirming the description and where it fits on the appliance. This prevents ordering a look-alike part that will not plug in or mount correctly.
Where to look for the part number
Most LG refrigerator parts have a sticker, stamp, or molded-in number. Common places include:
- Behind the front grille or rear access cover (fans, compressor-area parts)
- Inside the fresh food section (thermistors, sensors, damper parts)
- On the dispenser or ice maker housing (ice chute door, auger motor)
- On the water system parts near the filter head or valve (filter, inlet valve)
- On the control housing or cover (electronic control board housing)
For diagrams and part locations specific to LRSC26925SW, use the owner's manual.
How we match the right number on Sears PartsDirect
Use this checklist so you search with the most reliable identifier:
- Start with your refrigerator model number: LRSC26925SW
- Search by the part number printed on the part label when available
- Cross-check the part name and where it installs (for example, freezer door vs fresh food section)
- Compare connectors and mounting points before ordering
- If multiple similar results appear, match by function (sensor vs thermistor) and location
Quick examples from this model’s parts
| What you’re replacing | What to search for | Example from this model |
|---|---|---|
| Water filter | Filter part number/ID | LG lt600p refrigerator water filter 5231JA2006F |
| Temperature sensing | Sensor or thermistor ID | Refrigerator sensor 6500JB2001B or refrigerator thermistor 6500JB2002T |
| Water not dispensing | Inlet valve ID | LG refrigerator water inlet valve 5221JA2006D |
Why it matters
LG often uses similar-looking parts across multiple refrigerator families. Matching the exact part number (and confirming the description) helps ensure proper fit, correct electrical connections, and normal cooling, ice maker, and water dispenser operation.

How much does it cost to replace a compressor in a LG fridge?
For an LG LRSC26925SW side-by-side refrigerator, compressor replacement cost is usually the compressor part plus labor. The compressor itself commonly runs a few hundred dollars, and total installed cost typically lands in the mid-hundreds to over $1,000 depending on labor rates and sealed-system work.
Typical cost breakdown
Compressor jobs are sealed-system repairs, so labor is often the biggest variable.
- Compressor part: commonly $200 to $800 (model and availability drive the range)
- Labor: commonly $300 to $900+ (sealed-system work, evacuation, recharge)
- Service call/diagnosis: commonly $75 to $150 (may be applied to repair)
- Extra parts/materials: filter drier, process tube, refrigerant, brazing supplies (varies)
| Cost item | Typical range | What changes it most |
|---|---|---|
| Compressor part | $200 to $800 | Model-specific compressor, supply |
| Labor | $300 to $900+ | Local rates, time, access |
| Total installed | $500 to $1,700+ | Whether other sealed-system parts are needed |
What we can price on this model page
If you are pricing the part itself for LRSC26925SW, the compressor listed for this model is the refrigerator compressor TCA37091209.
Before you replace the compressor
A “no cool” complaint is not always a failed compressor. We recommend confirming basics first so you do not replace an expensive part unnecessarily.
- Verify the refrigerator has power and the controls are set correctly (see the owner's manual)
- Listen for the condenser fan and evaporator fan; airflow problems can mimic compressor issues
- Check for dirty condenser coils and blocked vents
- Look for frost patterns on the evaporator (defrost issues can reduce cooling)
- If the compressor is hot and repeatedly clicking, the start components or control issues may be involved
Why it matters
Compressor replacement is one of the highest-cost refrigerator repairs because it involves the sealed system. A correct diagnosis protects your budget and helps you decide whether repair or replacement makes the most sense for your household.

What is the most common problem with the LG refrigerator?
For the LG LRSC26925SW side-by-side refrigerator, the most common issues we see are cooling-related symptoms caused by airflow, door sealing, or temperature-sensing problems. Typical complaints include the refrigerator running too long, moisture buildup, and unusual vibrating or rattling noises (all covered in the owner's manual).
Most common symptoms (and what they usually mean)
- Runs too long or seems to never shut off: often warm room conditions, frequent door openings, warm food loads, or a door not sealing fully.
- Moisture inside the fresh food section: usually hot/humid weather or doors opened too often.
- Moisture between doors or on the outside: commonly high humidity or a door left slightly open.
- Vibrating or rattling noise: frequently an uneven floor, the cabinet touching a wall/cabinet, or items vibrating on top.
- Odors: typically needs interior cleaning or uncovered strong-smelling foods.
Quick checks we recommend first
- Confirm doors seal and close fully: remove packages that block the door; clean the gasket if it is dirty.
- Reduce warm air entry: open doors less often and avoid holding them open.
- Level the refrigerator: a unit that rocks can cause noise and can leave a door slightly open.
- Set controls correctly: if the refrigerator control is set too cold, adjust to a warmer setting and allow time to stabilize.
- Give it time after power loss: after being unplugged, it can take hours to cool completely.
When a part is the likely cause
If the basics check out and temperatures still swing, a failed sensor, thermistor, or airflow component is a common next step.
| Symptom | Common part area | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Temps fluctuate, food freezing or warming | Temperature sensing | Refrigerator thermistor 6500JB2002T |
| Cooling seems inconsistent | Temperature sensing | Refrigerator sensor 6500JB2001B |
| Weak airflow between sections | Airflow control | Refrigerator air damper 5209JJ1013B |
Why it matters
Cooling and moisture problems usually start with warm air getting in (door left ajar, frequent openings) or airflow being restricted. Fixing those early helps protect food quality, reduces run time, and prevents frost and condensation issues.

What are the most commonly replaced parts in a refrigerator?
In an LG LRSC26925SW side-by-side refrigerator, the most commonly replaced parts are usually in the cooling-airflow system and the water and ice system. Items like the water filter, water inlet valve, thermistors/sensors, and fan motors are frequent replacements because they directly affect temperature control and dispensing performance.
Commonly replaced refrigerator parts (and what they do)
- Water filter: improves taste and helps protect the ice maker and dispenser from sediment buildup.
- Water inlet valve: opens to supply water to the dispenser and ice maker.
- Thermistor/temperature sensor: reports temperature to the control so the compressor and fans run correctly.
- Evaporator fan motor: circulates cold air through the freezer and refrigerator compartments.
- Condenser fan: moves air across the condenser coils to remove heat.
- Ice maker and dispenser parts: handle ice production and delivery (bin, chute door, auger motor).
Model-matched examples for LG LRSC26925SW
These are examples of commonly replaced parts that are available for this model:
| System | Part example | What you typically notice when it fails |
|---|---|---|
| Water filtration | LG lt600p refrigerator water filter 5231JA2006F | Slow flow, bad taste/odor, reduced ice output |
| Water supply | LG refrigerator water inlet valve 5221JA2006D | No water/ice, weak dispensing, intermittent fill |
| Temperature sensing | Refrigerator thermistor 6500JB2002T | Temps swing, food freezing or warming unexpectedly |
| Air circulation | Refrigerator evaporator fan motor 4681JB1029A | Warm fridge section, noisy fan, uneven cooling |
| Heat removal | Refrigerator condenser fan 4681JB1029B | Hot cabinet sides, long run times, poor cooling |
Quick checks before you replace a part
- Confirm controls are set correctly and the unit is not in a normal defrost cycle.
- Make sure doors close fully and gaskets seal; air leaks can mimic cooling failures.
- If water or ice is slow, replace the filter first and then purge air from the dispenser.
- Listen for fan noise changes (rattling, grinding, or no fan sound at all).
- Check for blocked vents from overpacked shelves and door bins.
Why it matters
These parts are “high impact” because they control core functions: temperature stability, airflow, and water delivery. Replacing the right component first prevents repeat failures and helps your LG LRSC26925SW cool efficiently.
