I have an LG double door about the same age that stopped cooling 2 years ago. I had it serviced and learned that it was the compressor. The inside of the refrigerator was a sheet of ice behind the back wall. The service guy defrosted the the ice and it was running again. Service guy advised me to buy a new refrigerator but I found that it continued to work ok. However, I watch for the ice and have been manually defrosting every other month or so. It's ok as long as I defrost as needed. Not fun but much cheaper than a new refrigerator.
The service guy said that LG refrigerators compressors are famous for a short life.
