Samsung and LG are the two brands we see most in Clark County kitchens and laundry rooms, and they fail in predictable ways. This page lists the Samsung and LG problems our technicians fix every week in Vancouver, Camas and the surrounding towns, and how a repair is priced.
Samsung problems we fix most
- French-door refrigerator ice maker frosting over or stopping. One of the most common Samsung calls we get. The fix ranges from a reseal and defrost to an ice-maker assembly replacement.
- Refrigerator cooling but freezer section warm, or fridge warm with ice on the back wall. Usually a defrost system or evaporator fan fault. Start with our guide Why is my refrigerator not cooling?
- Washer showing an nd, 5E or dC code. Drain pump, drain hose or door-lock faults on front-load and top-load models.
- Washer shaking or walking on spin. Suspension rods or dampers.
- Dryer running with no heat. Heating element or thermal fuse; both are stocked on the van. See our dryer repair cost guide for Clark County.
- Dishwasher not draining or showing a drain error. Drain pump or a blocked sump.
LG problems we fix most
- Refrigerator not cooling with the compressor running or clicking. On many 2014–2018 LG refrigerators this is the linear compressor. LG’s 10-year compressor parts warranty often covers the part itself; the labor and refrigerant work is what the repair quote covers, and we confirm your model’s coverage before quoting.
- Front-load washer loud on spin or showing an OE code. Drum bearings on older units; drain pump or filter on OE errors.
- Washer UE or IE codes. Load-balance and water-inlet faults.
- Dryer stopping early with damp clothes. Moisture sensor or a blocked vent.
- Dishwasher LE or OE codes. Wash motor or drain faults.
How we price Samsung and LG repairs
- $100 diagnostic fee, waived when you approve the repair.
- Flat-rate quote before any work, parts and labor included.
- 90-day parts-and-labor warranty.
- Samsung and LG are factory-trained brands for our technicians, and the common parts for both are stocked on the van, so most repairs are finished in one visit.
Repair or replace a Samsung or LG appliance?
If the unit is under about ten years old and the repair is well under half the price of a comparable new one, repair it. Ice makers, pumps, sensors, heating elements and dampers all fall on the repair side. A sealed-system failure on an out-of-warranty refrigerator, or a bearing job on a twelve-year-old washer, is where we will tell you to replace.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need the model number before I call?
It helps. On Samsung and LG appliances the label is inside the refrigerator door, inside the washer or dryer door frame, or on the edge of the dishwasher door. Tell us the model and the symptom and we usually arrive with the right part.
Can you fix a Samsung ice maker for good?
Yes. A new ice-maker assembly plus sealing the housing is the repair we recommend; a defrost alone comes back.
Is my LG compressor covered?
Often the part is. Give us the model and serial and we will tell you what LG covers before we quote the labor.
