Our LG refrigerator wasn't cooling either. With ours it turned out to be that the light wasn't turning off when the door was closed! It seemed unbelievable at first, but the heat from the light bulbs was heating the whole refrigerator section to just about the same temp as the outside room. Here's the key, 'though. If this is the case, the fridge section is warm, but the freezer is cold.

Make and model # was there frost on the evap.?
Posted on Sep 12, 2007
Did u let it set for aleast 24hrs. after u tipped in on its side??
If not you have a good change u plugged up the system... with refigerator running...
u should have a light layer of frost across all the tubes in evaputator... after running for 1/2 hr. or less IF NOT You propley have a plugged system from not letting it stand for at least 24hrs after been on its side...
did you lay in down on its side or just tip it some?
This is going to be hard to diagnosis, For one u dont know for sure IF it was in good working order when u got it... Then laying it on its side is a good way to plug the system up.
One way is to leave plugged in over night and see if it buids up a ice ball in one spot just as in enters the evap...
If experinced enough u can feel the lines in back before filter and after to feel difference in temp to help locate a block... filter and ...capalary tube.. small thin tube coming from filter ... capalary tube and filter are most likey places where could be plugged....
How old is this refrigerator???
Good chance there was something wrong with it or why did they get another one?
Plugged and low or out of refrigerant is very simular semtoms of the problem u have.
Either way your looking at a major job...
For a experience repair man.. Doing these kinds of repairs...I would say u maybe had a chance to save it... IF its plugged, You would have to a at least install a tap valve, change the filter, Vacuum system and recharge.
If Low on refrigerant...Depending on the leak?
suction side or pressure, fixing leak would be about the same as above.... If would have to be out of refrigerant or plugged completely not to frost evap at ALL. Which means probley air in system If out of refrigerant.
I believe you would be better of spending your money on another refrigerator.
You never said how Old or what Model this frig. is?
Well Number 1 Your not licensed to replace or add refrigerant in refrigeration systems.. if you were you woulnt be asking HOW and I could possibley be lible for giving you instruction....
If you have worked on auto. a/c systems you would know it goes in the same side. There should be info on the model # Tag giveing u the specks u need on how much it holds.
Do u even Know what type of refrigerant it takes?
