An LG refrigerator not cooling can be a very serious problem. If your refrigerator is not cooling, it could be because the compressor is not working, the evaporator coils are frozen, or there could be a problem with the thermostat. If the compressor is not working, it could be because it is overheated, the compressor is not getting enough power, or there could be a problem with the compressor itself. If the evaporator coils are frozen, it could be because the refrigerator is not set to the correct temperature, the coils are dirty, or there is a problem with the air flow. If the thermostat is not working, it could be because it is not set to the correct temperature, it is not calibrated properly, or there could be a problem with the wiring.
