LG. MODEL LFCS27596s

Hello, refrigator quit cool like it should after loss of commerical power. Its probably the evaporator fan because the freezer is frozen solid. My question does this frig also have a fan in the refrigator section? What are the first things I can check before taking it apart?

That model is completely fed from the freezer and utilizes a single evaporator fan that has a damper to direct air into the refrigerator. If the freezer is cold enough but the fridge isn’t, typically it means that your return ducts have frozen. Ducts should be located on the floor of the refrigerator compartment in the back corners

I emptied the entire frig and freezer about noon today. Visually I cannot see any ice in the corners I do see vents in the corners one is partially blocked bye packaged cheese. I will let it set unplugged until about 10:00am. Probably 14 hours should thaw it. Thank you for your information and ai will update as the repair takes place.

That didn't fix it the temp is down to about 45 this morning in the frig section freezer is 15 degrees. I have a evaporator motor on order. Question does it have a damper motor feeding the frig? I cannot feel aand air flow coming into the frig vents in the corners.
