Repair guidance / LG / BR2
Ice builds up around an edge
Describe where the ice begins and whether the door closes squarely. A local ice pattern can differ from ice throughout the compartment. Do not chip ice away with a knife, use a heat gun or expose hidden pipework.
A different pattern: the unit has no visible power
Report whether the internal light, display and any usual operating sound have all stopped. Mention recent electrical work or a protective device operating. Do not pull a heavy unit out or open electrical housings to trace the supply.
A repair in a flat or a room reached by stairs
Include the floor level, entry arrangements and any stairs between the entrance and the equipment. These are practical booking details, not a reason to move the appliance yourself or promise that a repair can be completed on arrival.
Identify this LG model
Record the full model and serial number and whether the symptom appears during washing, draining or spinning.
Preparing the Keston visit
Keep the Keston address and complete postcode together with the equipment details. Mention whether this enquiry concerns a fitted appliance, an existing pump or a unit below the kitchen sink so the intended work is clear before booking.
Questions for this repair enquiry
What details help with “ice builds up around an edge”?
Keep the last successful operation separate from the first sign of the problem. For a report of “ice builds up around an edge”, say what still works and what no longer happens. If the other pattern, “the unit has no visible power”, has also occurred, include its timing as a separate observation. Send these details with the full model and your Keston postcode; they prepare the enquiry without identifying a part in advance.
How does “the unit has no visible power” change the enquiry?
Treat that as additional evidence rather than proof that both symptoms have one cause. Explain whether the two patterns began together or appeared at different times. Include the fitting context — a repair in a flat or a room reached by stairs — so the assessment can account for safe access as well as the reported behaviour.
