r/Repairs

at my wits ends with this damn fill tube freezing. lg lsxs26326s. apparently it is a common thing with these refrigerators and the water valve is usually the culprit. Not mine, changed it and the water still stays at the very tip of the fill valve and freezes. temperature is above zero degrees. i have to manually clear it out with a little pick in order for water to fill the ice tray and within two hours it’s frozen again. Lg makes the fill tube heater element un serviceable, and the suggestion is to BUY A WHOLE NEW DOOR. Absolutely ridiculous. Is there Anyone out there experiencing this. I am about to buy an external heater and wrap the ice water line that enters the top left door hinge, run the power cable across the top of the fridge and plug it in behind the fridge. i want to rip my hair out with this damn thing.

Rental property:
Returned from a trip to find bubbling paint and pieces of the wall falling away beside the bathtub. As soon as I started peeling the paint away, chunks of the wall started falling apart. I was able to get most of the damaged stuff out of the wall and clean it up. When I opened it up, though, I found this little cavity with rotting wood that had a piece of what I think was dry wall (tore apart like cardboard when wet) nailed into it. Kinda leads me to believe that this isn't the first time this has happened. I've never had a problem with my landlord before—he always send people to repair things quickly, but he is out of the country with spotty reception at the moment, so I'm not sure when I can expect a response. I'd like to get this fixed ASAP, even if that means just being reimbursed later. Is this something I can bring in a plumber to fix and then repair the wall myself?

lg freezer full tube Nightmare!

Need advice on getting this fixed/fixing myself
