What is the average lifespan of an LG fridge?
Most LG refrigerators average 10 to 15 years of service life with normal use and basic maintenance. For the LG LFXS24623S bottom-mount refrigerator, long-term reliability depends heavily on airflow, clean condenser areas, and keeping the doors sealing properly; warranty coverage details are listed in the owner's manual.
Typical lifespan and what affects it
A refrigerator’s lifespan is usually limited by sealed-system wear (compressor, evaporator, condenser) and by high-use components like the ice maker and water system.
Common factors that shorten lifespan:
- Dirty condenser area causing higher compressor run time
- Door gaskets not sealing, leading to warm air leaks and frost
- Heavy ice maker and dispenser use with low water flow
- Overpacked compartments blocking vents and airflow
- Frequent power interruptions or unstable power
Maintenance that helps an LG fridge last longer
These steps are safe, practical, and make a measurable difference in compressor workload and temperature stability:
- Keep the condenser area and grille clear of dust and pet hair
- Confirm doors close fully and the cabinet is level
- Set stable temps (avoid frequent adjustments)
- Replace the water filter on schedule to protect valves and flow
- Fix water leaks quickly to prevent ice buildup and corrosion
If you need a replacement filter for this model, use the LG kenmore refrigerator water filter ADQ36006101. You can also order model-matched parts from the parts list for LFXS24623S, or search by model on Sears PartsDirect.
Quick reference: lifespan expectations by component
| Component area | Typical impact on lifespan | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Sealed system (compressor, evaporator, condenser) | Biggest driver of total lifespan | Warm temps, long run times, unusual noises |
| Ice maker and dispenser | Common service item | No ice, clumping, slow dispense, jams |
| Water system (filter, inlet valve) | Affects performance and leaks | Slow water, buzzing valve, dripping |
Why it matters
A fridge that is running hot or leaking air works harder, which increases compressor run time and speeds up wear. Simple airflow and sealing checks often prevent the “it runs all the time” problem that shortens refrigerator life.

What size is LFXS24623S?
The LG LFXS24623S is a 33-inch wide French door, bottom-freezer refrigerator with about 24.2 cu. ft. of total capacity. For the exact cabinet and door-clearance dimensions for your specific LFXS24623S color/version, use the measurements and diagrams in the LFXS24623S owner's manual.
What “size” usually means (and what to check)
When customers ask for the size of an LG bottom-mount refrigerator, it typically refers to one or more of these:
- Width (cabinet width and door width)
- Height (to top of case or to top hinge)
- Depth (case only, with handles, and with doors open)
- Capacity (total cubic feet)
- Clearances (space needed behind, above, and at the sides for airflow and door swing)
Quick reference for LFXS24623S
| Spec | What you can use for planning | Where to confirm exact numbers |
|---|---|---|
| Width | 33 in class | LFXS24623S owner's manual |
| Capacity | About 24.2 cu. ft. | Product label and LFXS24623S owner's manual |
| Installation clearances | Required for ventilation and door swing | LFXS24623S owner's manual |
Measuring tips we recommend before ordering or moving
Use a tape measure and confirm both the refrigerator and the path into the kitchen.
- Measure the opening width at the front and back (walls are not always square)
- Measure height to the lowest overhead cabinet or trim
- Measure depth to the front edge of counters, then account for handles and door swing
- Check the doorway and hallway widths on the delivery path
- Plan for airflow space so the condenser and compressor can reject heat properly
Why it matters
Getting the correct width, depth, and clearance prevents door-interference issues, poor airflow (warm temps), and installation headaches. It also helps you avoid kinks in the water line if your model is connected to a dispenser or ice maker.
If you are also planning to replace filtration while you measure, the LG kenmore refrigerator water filter ADQ36006101 is a common maintenance item for this model family, and you can also search by model on Sears PartsDirect.

What is the most common problem with the LG refrigerator?
The most common issue we see with LG refrigerators like model LFXS24623S is a cooling problem: the refrigerator or freezer gets warm, temperatures swing, or the unit seems to run a long time. Many “not cooling” complaints trace back to airflow, dirty condenser tubing, sensor/defrost issues, or sealed-system/compressor problems (which require a technician). For model-specific troubleshooting steps, use the owner's manual.
What “most common” looks like in real symptoms
- Fresh food section warms up but freezer seems OK (or the reverse)
- Compressor seems to run for long periods
- Clicking, buzzing, or vibration noises during operation
- Ice maker or dispenser performance drops because temperatures are not stable
- Frost buildup or intermittent thawing that points to defrost control/sensor issues
Quick checks we recommend first (no parts guessing)
- Confirm settings: Set refrigerator to about 37°F and freezer to about 0°F.
- Check door closing and airflow: Make sure doors seal and vents are not blocked by food.
- Clean condenser area: Dirty condenser tubing can make the unit run longer and cool poorly (the manual notes dirty condenser pipes can contribute to long run times).
- Listen for fan airflow: Weak or no airflow often points to an evaporator fan or an airflow restriction.
- Look for frost patterns: Heavy frost can indicate a defrost problem.
Parts that commonly relate to cooling complaints on LFXS24623S
If your diagnosis points to a specific failure, these model-matched parts are commonly involved:
| Symptom | Common area | Example model-matched part |
|---|---|---|
| Warm temps, erratic temps | Temperature sensing | Refrigerator temperature sensor 6500JB2002X |
| Frost buildup, defrost issues | Defrost sensing | Refrigerator defrost sensor assembly 6615JB2005N |
| No cooling, compressor won’t start | Compressor protection | Refrigerator compressor overload protector 6750CL0001D |
Why it matters
Cooling problems affect food safety, ice production, and energy use. A refrigerator that runs “too long” can be reacting to heat load, dirty condenser tubing, door sealing issues, or a developing cooling-system fault.
When to stop and use a technician
- The refrigerator is warm and the compressor is extremely hot, repeatedly clicks, or will not start
- You suspect a sealed-system or compressor issue
- Interior LED lights fail (the manual indicates LED lighting service should be performed by a qualified technician)

Why is my LG refrigerator leaking from the bottom?
A leak from the bottom of your LG LFXS24623S bottom-mount refrigerator is usually caused by a clogged defrost drain that overflows into the base, or a water-supply leak to the ice maker and dispenser (valve, filter, or tubing). Use the LFXS24623S owner's manual for access and cleaning steps.
Quick checks we recommend
- Look for water or a thin ice sheet under the crisper drawers (defrost drain issue).
- Check the dispenser area and drip tray for overflow or splashing.
- Inspect the water line connection at the back for slow drips.
- If the leak happens only during ice making or dispensing, focus on the inlet valve and tubing.
- Pull the grille area and look for water tracks leading to the front.
Common causes and what to do next
| What you notice | Most likely cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Puddle inside first, then water on floor | Clogged defrost drain or restricted drain tube | Clear the drain path; replace the drain tube if split |
| Leak only when dispensing or making ice | Seeping inlet valve or loose fitting | Tighten fittings; replace the valve if it weeps |
| Water near front corners | Door not sealing, excess frost melt | Clean gaskets, level the cabinet, reduce door gaps |
Parts that often fix bottom leaks
- Refrigerator drain tube 5251JA3003D (for a restricted or damaged drain outlet)
- LG refrigerator water inlet valve AJU72992601 (for a valve that seeps or does not fully close)
- LG kenmore refrigerator water filter ADQ36006101 (for a filter that is overdue or not seated correctly)
Why it matters
Bottom leaks can damage flooring and create hidden ice buildup that restricts airflow, leading to warmer temperatures and inconsistent cooling.
