When I sent an email about this and asked for a replacement, I was told I would need to send it back. I wrote back and reiterated that the glass was shattered and did they really want me to send it back. I again said just send me the replacement. Instead I got a response that sending it back was not necessary but that I would receive a re

fund and would need to reorder the part again. The part was $47.91 when I first purchased it. Now to reorder it is $54.98. I saved it in my shopping cart so I can shop around before purchasing this again. I am disgusted that I need to go through this again and now at a higher price. I have more parts to order but am reconsidering do so.

I actually took a picture of the correct spring installation at a big box store that carried LG. I had called LG, but they said they didn't have any installation brochures, and to call a registered LG repairman. That was out of the question, since the repairman would charge $100 just to show up.

I looked at the picture I took. Used needle nose pliers and inserted one end. Unless the lady of the house is very strong, this should be handled by a man, because of the rigid spring. Once the spring was inserted into one side of the flap, I used the pliers to get the other end into the proper slot. Very easy, but the spring is very

The past I ordered was broken upon delivery. I asked for a replacement and was refunded the charge. Tried to contact you but "due to covid" you aren't taking calls. Net result: I ordered the part from another source, got it, installed easily. Won't use you again.

The two deep shelf bins on the right hand door split from either the weight of the sauce bottles or manhandling by the cleaners.

1. I ordered a shallow bin which fit the left hand door by mistake as I couldn't enlarge the pictures. So when it arrived and I realized it fit the left door but not the right door I went back on line and had a chat with a wonderful chat person who ordered and sent the 2 right hand shelves., As it happens the drawings on the website were

so small I did not realize that the bottom right hand shelf should have been shallower to accommodate the vegetable bin on the bottom of the refrigerator. So I removed the butter bin with the flip top and moved all the shelves up to clear the vegetable drawer and give me the same amount of storage as I had to begin with. I also think the replacement bins are a marginally heavier plastic and therefor may last longer.
