What 67 means (lg 67 error)
An lg 67 error (Er 67) on an LG refrigerator is a door-gap warning — the control senses a door is not closing fully or is being held open, letting warm air in. It is often a simple obstruction or a packed shelf rather than a fault, and it protects cooling by alerting you to the open gap.
Symptoms to look for
The signs below help confirm you are dealing with this condition rather than a different fault on your LG Refrigerator. You may see one of them or several together, and they can build up gradually or appear suddenly after a power event, a long door opening, or recent service.
- The display shows “67” or “Er 67”
- A door does not seem to close fully
- Warm air or condensation around the door
- An alarm may sound with the code
Common causes
Several different faults can produce these symptoms. Working through the most likely causes in order helps separate a quick, owner-level check from a problem that needs trained service and the correct LG parts.
- Door held open by contents — a drawer or item blocks closing
- Misaligned door — the door sits out of square
- Worn or dirty gasket — the seal does not pull the door shut
- Door switch fault — the switch misreads the door state
Troubleshooting steps you can try
Work through these checks in order before calling for service. Stop wherever you are unsure, or where high-voltage parts, gas, the sealed refrigeration system, or a heat-pump compressor are involved, and hand the rest to a qualified technician.
- Check no shelf, drawer, or item is holding a door open.
- Clean the door gasket and confirm it seals all around.
- Make sure the fridge is level so the doors close on their own.
- If 67 stays with the doors clearly shut, leave it for service.
Parts a technician may replace
Depending on what the diagnosis shows, a technician may inspect, test, or replace the door gasket, door alignment, hinges, and door switch. The correct part for your LG Refrigerator is matched from the model and serial number, and genuine LG components are fitted rather than generic substitutes so that performance, safety, and the appliance’s long working life are all protected. Confirming the failed part before ordering avoids replacing more than the fault actually requires.
When to call a technician
67 that stays with the doors fully closed needs a technician to check the door alignment, gasket, and door switch. When the fix calls for trained service, book a visit through our scheduling page and an experienced, qualified technician will diagnose and repair it.

Prevention and care
Regular care keeps this condition from returning on your LG Refrigerator. Keep filters, vents, and the condenser or exhaust path clean, avoid overloading or blocking airflow, check that doors and seals close cleanly, and follow the LG maintenance guidance for your model. Because this unit relies on electronic control, protect it with a stable, correctly rated power supply and have any built-in or laundry installation done to LG specification so the control never sees an out-of-range condition. If a code appears, note exactly what was shown before you reset the appliance — that record helps the technician reach an accurate diagnosis and avoid replacing parts unnecessarily.
