What is the weight of LFCS22520S?
The net weight of the LG LFCS22520S bottom-mount refrigerator is 237.4 lb (107.9 kg). For moving, delivery, or installation planning, always use the net weight unless you specifically need the packaged (shipping) weight listed in the LFCS22520S owner’s manual.
Net weight vs. shipping weight
Net weight is the refrigerator itself; shipping weight includes packaging materials and can vary by configuration.
- Net weight: what you lift and position in the kitchen
- Shipping weight: what a carrier handles in the carton
- Why they differ: pallet, foam, cardboard, and accessory packaging
- Best use: net weight for flooring and moving plans; shipping weight for freight quotes
| Weight type | What it includes | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Net weight | Refrigerator only | Moving, flooring load, installation |
| Shipping weight | Refrigerator + packaging | Delivery and freight handling |
Tips for moving this model safely
Because the LFCS22520S is heavy, we recommend planning the move before you start.
- Use two or more people to move the refrigerator
- Protect flooring; pull the unit straight out rather than “walking” it
- Measure doorways and clearances; remove doors/handles if needed
- Keep the unit upright to help avoid cooling system issues
- Level the refrigerator after placement for best door sealing and performance
Why it matters
Knowing the correct weight helps prevent floor damage, reduces injury risk, and makes it easier to plan door removal, dolly selection, and safe handling during installation.

Does LFCS22520S come with a warranty?
Yes. The LG LFCS22520S bottom-mount refrigerator includes a manufacturer warranty; the compressor (Linear/Inverter) coverage is typically 10 years for parts and 5 years for labor. For the exact terms that apply to your unit, confirm details in the LFCS22520S owner’s manual.
What’s typically covered (and what isn’t)
Warranty coverage varies by component and by how the refrigerator is used and installed. In general, LG warranties focus on defects in materials or workmanship under normal household use.
- Covered: defects in parts or workmanship during the stated coverage period
- Often limited coverage: sealed system or compressor-related components (longer term)
- Not covered: installation issues, misuse, cosmetic damage, or damage from improper water line hookup
- Service may require proof of purchase and model/serial information
Where to find the warranty details for LFCS22520S
We recommend checking the warranty section in the manual because it lists the coverage periods and any exclusions or requirements.
| What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Coverage term by component | Some parts have longer coverage than others |
| Labor vs. parts coverage | Labor coverage can be shorter than parts |
| Registration/proof of purchase | May be needed for service |
| Installation requirements | Water line and electrical requirements can affect coverage |
If you suspect a compressor-related issue
If your LFCS22520S is not cooling, is unusually loud, or is tripping protection devices, compressor-related parts may be involved. When you are diagnosing or planning a repair, these model-compatible parts can be relevant:
- Refrigerator compressor TCA38091801
- Refrigerator compressor overload protector 6750CL0001D
- Refrigerator run capacitor EAE58905704
Why it matters
Knowing the warranty terms up front helps you decide whether to schedule service, troubleshoot first, or order parts. It can also prevent paying out of pocket for a repair that may be covered.

What is the problem with the LG bottom freezer refrigerator?
On the LG LFCS22520S, which is a French door refrigerator with a bottom freezer drawer, the most common problem customers report is uneven cooling: the refrigerator section gets too warm while the freezer stays cold. We usually trace that to airflow restrictions, a fan issue, or a temperature-sensing/control problem; see the troubleshooting section in the LFCS22520S owner’s manual.
Most common symptoms
- Refrigerator section too warm but freezer OK
- Temperature swings (food spoils early or drinks freeze in spots)
- Frost buildup that blocks vents or the evaporator cover area
- Loud fan noise, rattling, or no fan sound when doors are closed
- Ice maker slow or not making ice (often happens when temps are off)
Quick checks you can do first (no tools)
- Make sure interior air vents are not blocked by food containers
- Confirm both French doors and the freezer drawer close fully
- Check door gaskets for gaps, tears, or debris
- Set temps back to normal and allow 24 hours to stabilize
- Clean the condenser area and keep at least a couple inches of clearance behind the cabinet
Likely causes and related parts for LFCS22520S
If the freezer is cold but the refrigerator is warm, these are common suspects on this design:
| What you notice | Common cause | Model-matched part example |
|---|---|---|
| Weak or no airflow to fresh food | Evaporator fan not running or weak | Refrigerator evaporator fan motor EAU65058315 |
| Temps read wrong or swing | Temperature sensor (thermistor) drifting | Refrigerator temperature sensor 6500JB2002E |
| Frost/ice blocks airflow | Evaporator cover/fan area iced up | Refrigerator freezer evaporator cover and fan assembly AEB73865906 |
Why it matters
When the refrigerator section runs warm, food safety and freshness drop quickly, and the compressor can run longer than normal trying to recover.
