Three LG refrigerator decisions: the linear compressor, the control board, and the ice maker assembly. The compressor page is the one most readers arrive for, and its title names the reason. LG's linear compressor is a different design from the reciprocating units elsewhere in this section, so the failure signature, the part availability and the warranty position all read differently from a generic refrigerator compressor page.
The pages move from evidence to decision rather than from part to price. A refrigerator running constantly and cooling poorly, a compressor drawing current without producing cold, an ice maker that fills but will not release its harvest — each has its own confirmation path and none of them begin at the parts counter. Only once the fault is established does the page weigh the component, the labour, and what the rest of the machine is likely to ask for next.
The control board and the ice maker are ordinary component work. The linear compressor is sealed-system work and professional-only regardless of skill. On an LG the single thing worth confirming before any other number is the sealed-system warranty coverage for your model and serial, because it shifts the arithmetic further than any part price does.

LG Fridge Linear Compressor: Repair or Replace?
LG covers its linear compressor for 10 years, so under a decade the part is free and you pay only labor — making repair the clear winner. Plus the class-action extension and inverter-board catch.
LG Refrigerator Control Board Cost
An LG refrigerator has two boards — main and inverter — and a compressor that will not run usually points to the inverter. Here is the repair verdict.
LG Refrigerator Ice Maker: Repair or Replace?
An LG ice-maker assembly is a quick, affordable swap that is worth it on any fridge whose cooling still works — but fix the root cause (fan or gasket) so it does not freeze over again.
