I now have the same problem: I HAVE AN LG FRIDGE MODEL LRFC22750. THE LIGHT COVER INSIDE THE FRIDGE MELTED DUE TO THE LIGHTS STAYING ON WHEN THE DOORS CLOSE. THERE ARE BUTTONS ON THE INSIDE UPPER DOOR FRAME THAT SHUT THE LIGHT OFF WHEN THE DOORS CLOSE. THERE IS A MALFUNCTION WITH THE BUTTONS BECAUSE WHEN THEY ARE PRESSED IN THE LIGHTS STAY ON. ANY SOLUTIONS Also the top latch on the door has now come off the door. How can I install this latch?

Contact LG about this problem. It is a known issue. You will need a new control board (PCB), a new light cover, and possibly new light sockets and wiring harness. What happens is the realy that controls the lights on the control board sticks.

LG issued a service flash about this very problem, so you may be in luck. The last one I did for a customer was paid for by LG.. In a nutshell, LG screwed up. The control board that the lights tie into has a bad relay, which causes the lights to stay on all the time. The fix is to get a new control board and a new light harness. The new harness has a thermal switch that shuts off the lights should they not shut off in the future. I'd try LG customer service and see if they can help you out.

Good Luck!

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.

if you stay on the line and dont take no for an answer
they just might cover it for you
make sure you mention several times its a fire hazard
and just dont take no for an answer

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.

The control board relay switch for the light bulb stuck in the on position and needs to be replaced along with the light cover and housing.  There is also a replacement light harness that has a high limit switch to shut off the lights if this happens again.  LG knows about this problem and if you call LG customer service, they will grant a one time warranty extension to take care of this problem.
