I have an LG LFXC22526S refrigerator with inverter linear compressor, and am a bit thrown off by the compressor on/off times for the unit. The compressor seems to start normally and operate smoothly throughout the cycle. It holds the set temperature in both freezer and fresh food compartments (0F & 37F). Aside from it sounding a bit too "buzzy" when the compressor is on, the unit is functioning fine.
What I'm thrown off by is that when the compressor completes the cycle and shuts off, it only stays off for exactly 7 minutes before restarting. It doesn't matter the time of day, how many times the doors have been opened, ambient temperature, etc. The compressor off time is exactly 7 minutes every single cycle.
Can anybody comment on whether this is normal operation for this unit? You would think that the compressor off time would change based on external factors like door openings and ambient temperature, but instead it seems like it is programmed to stay off for exactly 7 minutes before restarting. Could it be stuck in some kind of "service mode" or possibly an issue with the temp. sensors not operating properly?
