1 LG Lfx21960st Refrigerator Does not work after power outage
Our Fridge is out of warranty and I am looking for ways to diagnose it and fix it
After a storm we had knocked out the power, all of our appliances went out. When the power came back on all the appliances came back on except for the fridge. I can see that there is power to the unit as I have checked the outlet. Also the light on the ice maker selector inside the door goes on and off with the switch. However the water and ice dispenser panel on the door won’t come on. I have read that there are ways to reset the unit using the panel, but if the panel won’t come on, I can’t use it. I have removed the back cover off of the main panel and checked the fuse and connections and everything seems to be fine as far as I can tell. I am looking for other items and parts to check before I buy another main board. any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you
Es esta una buena pregunta?

Did you ever get this fixed? I am having the exact same issue, but there was no power outage. But my panel is dead, the dispenser light is on permanently, and nothing will dispense. LG won't even talk to me about this model anymore.

@Geoff Gordon It might be as simple as the “child lock”. On the display you should have a “lock” or “child lock” button. Holding that button for 3-10 seconds will either lock or unlock the display.
This feature is on most refrigerator and dishwasher control boards to prevent curious children from changing settings. When the display is locked, none of the buttons will work. The refrigerator will be working properly but you won’t be able to get ice, change settings etc.
Each display board is a little different. It should say on the board how to turn off the child lock. The owners manual will have that information too.

Thank you, but unfortunately, the panel is dead (as I mentioned) so none of the buttons work to turn off child lock. In addition, the child lock does not disable the ice maker from making ice nor does it permenantly turn on the light inside the dispenser.

@Geoff Gordon
What is the model number of the refrigerator?
