Its refrigeration uses LG’s core technology — including the linear compressor — in built-in, panel-ready formats. Service needs a technician comfortable with both LG electronics and built-in installation." }, { "question": "My SKS refrigerator is running but not cooling. What’s wrong?", "answer": "On SKS the usual suspect is the linear compressor or its drive electronics. The right first step is testing the drive signal and pressures — not guessing. We diagnose before quoting, so you never pay for a compressor you don’t need." }, { "question": "Do you offer same-day SKS repair in Bellevue?", "answer": "Yes, in most cases. We only serve Bellevue, so a technician is never far away. Ice makers, sensors, fans and defrost repairs are typically completed in one visit." }, { "question": "Are SKS parts available, or is the brand too new?", "answer": "Parts flow through LG’s supply chain and availability is good for current models. We source genuine SKS/LG components and will always tell you if a part has a lead time before starting work." }, { "question": "The convertible drawer doesn’t hold the mode I set. Can that be fixed?", "answer": "Yes — it’s typically a drawer sensor or a mode-control fault, both straightforward repairs. We verify the drawer across every preset mode before leaving." } ] }
