Error Codes (N/A): Troubleshooting, Fixes & Prevention Tips explained below.

What Does Indicator Not Working Mean❓

When your LG refrigerator shows no lights or non-functioning indicators on the display panel, it usually points to a control board, power connection, or LED issue. Even if the cooling system is working, you may not be able to read the temperature, change settings, or know if there's an error. This can be caused by wiring faults, power surges, or a faulty PCB. Troubleshooting involves checking connections, resetting the unit, or replacing the display module.

refrigerator - Why the Indicator Panel Might Not Be Working

  • Loose or disconnected display wire harness.
  • Faulty LED display or control panel module.
  • Blown fuse or power surge affecting the control board.
  • Moisture or condensation inside the panel.
  • Faulty or dead main PCB not sending power to the display.

refrigerator - How to Fix an Unresponsive Display or Indicator Panel❓

  • Power Cycle the Refrigerator

    1. Unplug the fridge and wait 5 minutes.
    2. Plug it back in to reset the electronics.

  • Check Display Connections

    1. Open the control panel (if safe to do so) and inspect the wiring to the display.
    2. Make sure connectors are secure and not burnt.

  • Test the Display

    1. If you have access, try using a multimeter to test voltage to the panel.
    2. If no voltage, the board may be faulty.

  • Replace Display or PCB

    1. If the screen is cracked or non-responsive, replace the display unit.
    2. If no power reaches the panel, the main control board may need replacement.

  • Call for Service

    1. If unsure or the panel still doesn't work, contact LG support or a certified technician.
