Yes, Hestan notes a sudden change in surrounding temperature can pull the compartment down. LA appears after more than 30 minutes below the low alarm preset. Drinks and produce can start to freeze. ### Does LA mean my Hestan has stopped cooling? No, it is running too cold, not too warm. Close the door and check the gasket for gaps. If LA persists once conditions settle, book a visit. --- **[Read on the site: Hestan refrigerator showing LA | RefrigeratorRepair.center](https://refrigeratorrepair.center/error-codes/hestan-la/)** **[Book a visit with RefrigeratorRepair.center](https://refrigeratorrepair.center/schedule/)**
