Unplug the refrigerator from the power socket for 30 seconds. When you plug it back in the control panel should reset showing all 8s for several seconds and then return to normal settings. If that does not solve the problem then the controller board probably needs to be replaced. As part of the settlement with Energy Star, LG is supposed to be replacing controller boards for free so your problem could be solved by that if you qualify. See http://www.energy.gov/news/6743.htm. Use phone number to contact LG as the web site did not work three times when I tried to register through it.

2003 Malibu blows hot air from vents no matter where temp is set and on ac also

Blend door is not working. Could be the door is stuck, wiring issue, bad actuator or control panel issue. In your car, the actuator is not too hard to access. Follow the instructions to access the actuator. Check the connection. Before removing the actuator, turn the key on and change the temp setting. If you hear clicking from the actuator, it has probably stripped its gears. If not, remove the actuator and check to see if you can rotate the door by hand. If not, you will need to remove the duct to see why the door is jammed. If the door rotates by hand, plug the connector back into the actuator, turn the key on again, and change the temp setting while watching the gear on the actuator to verify operation. If the actuator doesn't turn the gear, the problem is with the actuator or the controller. Remove the connector again and probe the connector with a voltmeter. Turn the key on again and probe the terminal of the light blue wire. There should be voltage there when you change the temp setting. If not, the problem is with the control panel. If there is voltage of a few volts or more, the problem is the actuator.

Removal & Installation

Remove the fuse labeled HVAC CTRL (BATT).
Remove the left closeout panel.
Remove the knee bolster.
Remove the air temperature actuator screws.
Remove the air temperature actuator.
Remove the air temperature actuator wire harness connector.

My 2001 buick century blows warm air on drivers side and cold air on passenger side could the problem be that the flapper is stuck.

The electric control actuator more then likely ! Do you hear any clicking come from behind the instrument panel . These actuators have plastic gears inside and they break , strip etc... Can also set DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes to set in the HVAC - control panel (module ) A scan tool used to check engine codes can't read these codes . Need a factory scan tool or professional grade .
DTC B0361
The HVAC control module receives a left air temperature actuator position signal from the left air temperature actuator. The left air temperature actuator position sensor is a potentiometer that is tied to a 5 volt reference source. The variable output from the potentiometer feeds back a position signal to a pull-up resistor located in the HVAC control module. This signal is used to determine the necessary drive signal to the left air temperature actuator motor to provide the proper air mix door position. This value is stored in the Keep Alive Memory (KAM) portion of the HVAC control module.
DTC B0363
Left air temperature actuator signal circuit stays at 4.5 volts or higher.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Temperature Valve Actuator Replacement - Left Side
Remove the left instrument panel insulator. Refer to Instrument Panel Insulator Replacement in Instrument Panel, Gauges and Console.
Remove the knee bolster. Refer to Knee Bolster Replacement in Instrument Panel, Gauges and Console
Disconnect the electrical connector from the left air temperature actuator.
Remove the mounting screws from the left air temperature actuator.
Remove the left air temperature actuator.

We installed a mr. heather IR30LPT, set the fan to auto and the control to #1, however, the unit runs continuously without shutting off. The room is less that 1000 sq. feet. Can you tell me why the unit is...

THERMOSTAT CONTROL OPERATION
FOR IR20LPT / IR30LPT: The thermostatic control used
simply turns on and off the burner.
FOR BF20LPT / BF30LPT: The thermostatic control
used modulates the flame size as the temperature gets
closer to set point, then it turns off the burner upon
reaching temperature.
The burner will cycle back on when room temperature
drops below the set temperature. The control knob can
be set to any heat level between 1 and 5. Selecting the
HI setting will cause the burner to remain on.
Note: The thermostat sensing bulb measures the
temperature of air near the heater cabinet. This
may not always agree with room temperature
(depending on housing construction, insulation
location, room size, open air temperature, etc.).
Frequent use of your heater will let you determine
your own comfort levels.
The LED temperature indicator measures approximate
room temperature around the heater.
Note: The LED temperature indicator DOES NOToperate with or control the thermostat setting of the
heater.
IF YOUR UNIT IS NOT TURNING OFF IN POSITION 1 BUT THE TEMPERATURE AROUND IT IS HIGH THAN THERMOSTAT IS STUCK AND YOU HAVE TO CHANGE IT OR VISIT SERVICE.
1-5 knob has no info what is the parameters of temperature sorry!

Where is the temperature control panel of my GSS25JETA WW

It is likely there is no actual control panel, but rather a simple dial somewhere located towards the back of the inside the refrigerator compartment that has lettering that states, "warmer/cooler" with arrows that show which direction to turn to change the temperature setting.

Stuck on ff setting

Hello Ailla, thank you for allowing me to assist you!

Could the error code possibly be "OFF"? If so, there is a possibility that the temperature control is in the OFF position. When this occurs the temperature control turns off the compressor, but does not disconnect the power to the light bulb or other electronics. Let's try activating the freezer by pressing the UP arrow until display shows "4" or desired setting. Allow 24 hours for temperature to stabilize. For future reference you can lock the control to keep from accidently changing the temperature setting. I hope these troubleshooting tips help you in some small way. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if the unit's status has changed successfully.

Best regards!

Cannot get temperature buttons on hot tub to change

Hi,
Do the other buttons work? Is the control panel locked, some spas have a control panel lock to prevent kids from playing with the temperature. Are any of the buttons stuck in the de-pressed/down position? If neither the problem is likely in your topside control which means it will need to be replaced.

Control panel on my fridge

Pull the power cord for 5 minute to reset the control board. if this control panel malfunction still exist after the reset, replace the control circuit board.

This is a typical control fault that should be corrected by pulling power for 5 minutes. if not, this reset will confirm major damaged to the circuit board.
