LG Fridge Temperature Adjustment for Other Models
To adjust the temperature on other LG fridge models, such as top-freezer or objet series, you can refer to the steps below.
Top-Freezer LG Refrigerator Models
These refrigerators typically have a combined cooling system for the fridge and freezer. Adjusting the freezer temperature directly affects the fridge’s temperature. Use the control dial to set the temperature between 1 (warmest) and 5 (coldest).
Objet Series LG Refrigerators
These advanced models feature a more precise temperature range for the fridge, adjustable between 1°C to 7°C. Use the Fridge Temperature button on the panel to select your preferred setting.
Steps to Change the Freezer Temperature of LG Refrigerator
The temperature control for the freezer compartment is located inside the freezer itself. Once you locate the controller, adjust it to your desired setting. If the controller is a dial, turn it to the right to lower the temperature (colder) or to the left to raise it (warmer). Keep in mind that the higher the number, the colder the freezer will be, while a lower number results in a warmer temperature.
