REFRIGERATOR SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The information in this training manual is intended for use by persons possessing an adequate background
in electrical equipment, electronic devices, and mechanical systems. In any attempt to repair a major
appliance, personal injury and property damage can result. The manufacturer or seller maintains no liability
for the interpretation of this information, nor can it assume any liability in conjunction with its use. When
servicing this product, under no circumstances should the original design be modified or altered without
permission from LG Electronics. Unauthorized modifications will not only void the warranty, but may lead to
property damage or user injury. If wires, screws, clips, straps, nuts, or washers used to complete a ground
path are removed for service, they must be returned to their original positions and properly fastened.
Always unplug the product before servicing. Do not touch metal parts in the freezer with wet hands. Unload
the refrigerator before moving it. Servicers should be CFC certified.
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury, disconnect the power before servicing this product. If electrical power is required
for diagnosis or test purposes, disconnect the power immediately after performing the necessary checks.
Also be aware that many household appliances present a weight hazard. At least two people should be
involved in the installation or servicing of such devices. Failure to consider the weight of an appliance could
result in physical injury. Wear protective gloves when handling the evaporator coil to prevent cuts.
REFRIGERANT
Use eye protective wear when soldering or brazing. Remember that refrigerant escaping will freeze the
surface of the eye, causing irreparable blindness. Servicers working on the sealed system must be properly
trained and certified to handle refrigerants. Use of the proper tools is critical to proper repairs. Refrigerant
must be recovered using an approved recovery device.
ESD NOTICE
Some of the electronic in appliances are electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive. ESD can weaken or
damage the electronics in these appliances in a manner that renders them inoperative or reduces the time
until their next failure. Connect an ESD wrist strap to a ground connection point or unpainted metal in the
appliance. Alternatively, you can touch your finger repeatedly to a ground connection point or unpainted
metal in the appliance. Before removing a replacement part from its package, touch the anti-static bag to a
ground connection point or unpainted metal in the appliance. Handle the electronic control assembly by its
edges only. When repackaging a failed electronic control assembly in an anti-static bag, observe these
same precautions.
