Our Experience With LG
LG appliances are popular throughout Chicagoland, and our technicians have hands-on experience with the full range of LG product lines — from front-load and top-load washing machines to French door and side-by-side refrigerators, gas and electric ranges, and dishwashers. We're familiar with LG's inverter direct-drive motor technology, their linear compressor refrigerators, and the control board layouts common across their appliance families.

How We Diagnose LG Issues
Initial Symptom Review and Error Code Check
Our technician starts by discussing the problem with you and checking the appliance's control panel for any stored error codes. LG appliances often display diagnostic codes that point toward specific system failures. We use these codes as a starting point — not a final answer — since codes indicate a symptom area that still requires physical inspection and confirmation before any repair decision is made.
Mechanical and Electrical Component Inspection
We physically inspect key components based on the reported issue — checking motors, pumps, heating elements, belts, door seals, and wiring harnesses for wear, failure, or damage. For refrigerators, we assess the compressor, condenser coils, and evaporator fan. For washers and dryers, we examine the drive system and thermal components. This hands-on inspection confirms whether the fault is mechanical, electrical, or related to a control system.
Control Board and Sensor Testing
LG appliances rely heavily on electronic control boards and sensors to manage cycles, temperatures, and operations. Our technicians test these components with appropriate tools to determine if a sensor is sending incorrect readings or if the main control board has failed. Misdiagnosed board failures are a common and costly mistake — we verify thoroughly before recommending any control board replacement to avoid unnecessary expense.
Repair Cost Assessment and Customer Recommendation
After completing the diagnosis, we provide a clear, itemized repair estimate. For LG appliances, we factor in the unit's age, the cost of parts and labor, and the realistic remaining lifespan of the appliance. If the repair cost is disproportionate to the unit's value or age, we'll tell you honestly. If repair makes sense, we proceed efficiently — often completing the job the same day or at the next scheduled visit.
Maintenance Tips for LG
- Clean LG refrigerator condenser coils at least once a year to maintain efficient cooling and prevent compressor strain.
- Wipe down the LG front-load washer door gasket after each use to prevent mold buildup and unpleasant odors.
- Run LG's Tub Clean cycle monthly using a washer cleaner to prevent residue accumulation inside the drum.
- Check and clean your LG dryer's lint trap after every load and inspect the exhaust vent duct annually.
- Inspect LG dishwasher spray arms and filters monthly, clearing any debris that blocks water flow and reduces cleaning performance.
Repair or Replace Your LG?
For LG appliances, the repair-or-replace decision genuinely depends on the unit's age and the specific repair needed. LG makes solid mainstream appliances with average lifespans of 10 to 15 years depending on the type. If your unit is under 8 years old and the repair cost is well under half the price of a comparable new appliance, repair usually makes strong financial sense. For older units facing major component failures — like a compressor or control board — replacement may be the more practical long-term investment.
LG's standard manufacturer warranty typically covers parts and labor for one year from purchase, with limited longer coverage on select components. Trust Pro is an independent repair company and is not affiliated with LG. All repairs we perform are backed by our own workmanship warranty, so you have protection and accountability regardless of your unit's manufacturer warranty status.
LG Repair FAQs
How long should an LG appliance typically last?
LG appliances are built for mainstream household use and generally last between 10 and 15 years with normal care, depending on the appliance type. Washers and dryers tend toward the lower end of that range with heavy use, while refrigerators often reach or exceed 15 years. Regular maintenance — like cleaning coils and filters — meaningfully extends the useful life of any LG unit.
Why does my LG front-load washer keep getting mold and bad odors?
LG front-load washers use a rubber door gasket that traps moisture, detergent residue, and lint — creating ideal conditions for mold growth if not maintained. Using high-efficiency detergent in the correct amount, leaving the door ajar between cycles, and wiping the gasket dry after use all help significantly. Running a monthly cleaning cycle is also strongly recommended to keep the drum and components fresh.

What factors affect the cost of repairing an LG appliance?
Repair costs for LG appliances vary based on the type of appliance, the specific component that has failed, and the labor time required to access and replace it.

More complex repairs involving control boards, compressors, or sealed refrigeration systems cost more. We provide a full estimate before any work begins so there are no surprises.
