A real case from Warsaw: fridge fan replacement
Client in Mokotów: LG No Frost — freezer at -20°C, fridge compartment at +10°C. The humming had become louder. The fan was jammed by ice, and the impeller was cracked. The defrost heater was also dead: that was causing the ice build-up. Tradespeople replaced both. After 4 hours, the fridge held a steady +4°C. 1.5 hours. Tip: if the freezer works fine but the fridge section is warm, it is almost always the fan or frost on the evaporator.
