Lights stay on inside refrigerator

Replace with an led light, much less heat.

Seriously? Mine just did the same thing today. The electric on the inside is fine. No cooling. there is a code blinking HRS on the inside. the ice and water were working intermittently the past couple of weeks. wtf?

I found a post describing the exact thing I have going on but it was from 3 years ago.

sounds like the magnet that detects the door closed has failed

Good day,
All refrigerators have light switches, that depress and shut off the lights when the doors are closed.
First, make sure the bulbs are left out. I would replace all of the light switches because of the newness of the machine.
They are easy enough to replace, and you can purchase them at any appliance parts house or a Sears service facility.
They pry out, and may be destroyed on removal. Unplug the machine.
After connecting the wires, the new ones just push in.
To test, close the doors slowly. The lights should go out just before the door closes.

Some states have what is called "Implied warranty of serviceablity". Which means what should a consumer reasonably expect irregardless of the warranty limits.
You might want to contact Sears and express your opinions regarding this matter, and if they'll consider making you whole.
The above paragraph are my thoughts only. They in no way reflect the law, Sears policy or liability or this site's policy.

light s/w stay on all the time

yes, contact LG for this known problem. it's a circuit board defect. the tech should replace both bulbs w/lower wattage, plastic bulb lens, lens surround and bulb sockets themselves. be sure to have your fridge model # and serial # handy.

time to get a new defrost timer or heater element the ice is causing most of the issues. if the freezer is staying cold then there is a fan that blows the cold air into the fridge side that could be out.

this unit has a history of the light circuit failing and it will cause the lights to either stay on or off. if they stay on, it will melt the housing around the upper bulb area. it has a recall and should be covered by sears for no charge. it is the control board failure and has a sticking relay for the light circuit, needs board replaced.
the 3 beeps are the unit thinking it has a door open. turn off the alarm on the door control board and call sears 800 # for repair.

call a service tech from Sears, this is a fire hazard,light control is bad,apparently, modification includes thermal switch,to turn off lights in the event of failure.
