Ice maker quit working
Plug in the replacement ice maker to the socket in the frig, fit the back of the new ice maker into the slot to the rear, attach with 2 screws saved from removing old ice maker. Simple.
LG doesn't even list our fridge model on their website. Got the exact right part and installed it on the door. So glad to find your website and talk with someone who was able to guide me through the order. Thanks alot.
Went on line to see how difficult it would be to replace the valve. Through Google there was a video which showed in exact detail how to remove and replace the valve. Then went on line to find the replacement part which was readily available. The only problem was that the connection on the valve where the fill water enters the valve was larger than the old valve. To fix that I went to a local Ace hardware store and found a nut that would fit the valve connection. Also don't forget to use a compression ring to keep the fill line secured when replaced. Over all it was very simple and was in my "pay grade"
Ordered door basket from PartSelect, it arrived, not the proper part. I called, we felt we identified the proper part, ordered replacement, PartSelect sent RMA. 2nd part arrived, also would not fit, attaching brackets didn't match. Found door assembly drawing did not match my door. Found proper door assembly drawing from a different model number (LG issue), ordered 3rd part. Returned first 2 parts, received proper 3rd part, fits nicely. Thanks PartSelect for your perseverance and help.
After noting frost in freezer Right rail started to jam. Noted freezer door was closing crooked. Rail replacement resolved issue. It had been frosting up for some time so Rail must have been broken for a while. Check door seals they were not closing flush.
The switch became intermittent - Possibly a poor designe
Used a small screw driver inserted into the front of the switch (facing the front) and pried until the switch was coming out. When out, I removed the connect harness and replace the switch with a new one.
Read previous tips Taped off area around switch to protect surface Used putty knife to extract switch Used screwdriver to separate connector from switch Plugged in connector Pushed switch assembly into opening Removed tape
1. Unplug the refrigerator (to avoid shock) 2. With one screwdriver pry open the switch on the side facing the door to a gap of about 1/8 inch 3. Insert a second screwdriver into the gap to press the plastic tab back slightly and this should release the part. 4. pull the part out and unplug it, you may have to pry back some small tabs on the sides, 5. Plug in the new switch 6. plug in the refrigerator the light should come on, if not tighten the connection 7. Insert new switch back into its slot, it should snap in place. Done!
The 2 minute or so video was not exactly matching the model that we had but the instructions were very good and important. The switch was a little difficult to get out from the side of the refrigerator.
Covered the sidewall with tape to protect. Pried the switch out with knife blade and removed electric plug with needle nose pliers. placed plug in new switch and pushed switch into the hole in the side wall. Took about five minutes.
Replace with new switch. this is the third switch i have replaced in 10 years. the only part, besides a light bulb, that has gone bad. obviously this is a problem with this model for Kenmore, or just poor switch design.
