GML277USRY LG Refrigerator - Instructions

After checking the prices of new refrigerators, I decided that I had nothing to lose trying to repair the sticking ice/water dispenser. I followed the previous instructions by prying off the panel with a screwdriver working my way around. Some effort is needed, but it will come loose before it breaks. You should remove the funnel first. If you have an older model, the funnels are fragile and should come out with a gentle back and forth jiggle. I broke mine. After pulling the face off the frig,I noticed that the plastic piece the activates the dispenser was partially out of its cradle in the rubber piece. Apparently pushing too hard on it can dislodge this piece and cause the unit to stick. Check this out before going for a new actuator. It only took a few minutes to clean and reassemble and reinstall. Works perfectly. Received new funnel and it was different than the one I took out. I missed the note that said if you order the funnel, you should also get the bracket to be sure they go back together. Two lessons learned. Don,t be afraid of this repair and don't push too hard on the dispenser.

To replace the warped tray, I found the service manual (pg. 124 below) which took some interpreting.
Removed the lever. Then removed the assembly by two screws that are forward to the unit and go upwards.
The insulation, sensor, and sensor cover are simply pulled down and off and the unit separated to removed the tray, and then insert the new tray. Proceed in reverse. Takes only a few minutes.

The replacement gasket does not have as strong a magnet as the original one. I removed the old one carefully so as not to cause more damage in case I have to put it back. Using Tongue suppressor I pushed new gasket into place and put a thin coating of protelem jelly on the gasket. I just have to make sure the door is closed each time to be sure of good seal.

I removed the lower back panel. The difficulty and time consuming part was finding the old parts. They were inside a cover on the side of the motor. The cover was difficult to remove. It slides away from the motor. The terminals on the replacement parts were oriented differently from the original, Like a mirror image. Accordingly, I reversed the wires (side to side) and connected them to the replacement parts. The refrigerator is now working fine.

First ,I unplug the refrigerator .
2nd i remove the back cover, clean the dust.
3th disconnect the water line, remove the all valve..
4th unplug all the wires and code ea with a No,remove the water lines

i found ease the valve replacement installation.
.Thanks for the video.

Ordered part from part select. Received part with out instructions. It took only one screwdriver for 1 screw removal and then removing cover to replace switch. Pretty simple

I paid for the expedited shipping and they sent me a cheap knockoff attempt at the part that had the wrong size hole. So they refunded me the money I paid for the part but not the shipping, and then I crushed the part they sent me with a hammer and threw it away.

Really Easy

I am a woman and I did this in about 10 mins. I turned off the water, disconnected the water line, took the back off the fridge, disconnected the motor plug and unscrewed the fan. It took a little maneuvering to get the fan out but once I did it was a breeze. Opened up back door that housed the motor, took the motor out and put in the new one. Put everything back together and it's working great. Very fast shipping so don't pay for the expedited way to ship. I ordered Sunday night and it was in my door by 10:00 Tuesday morning.

Replaced water pump assembly, all compression fittings easy to put together

Took off door per normal instructions.
Removed the old stopper and hinge assembly (the hard rubbery parts had worn enough against each other to cause the annoying sound when opening and closing the door).
Inserted the new stopper and hinge assembly.
There was no locking nut on the newer part, so just had to level the fridge door without that part of the instructions (from normal LG instructions)
Overall easy for a non-handy person and the annoying sound is gone.
Wife is happier now.

Just replaced the old shelves with new

It was a "snap to complete it" inasmuch as the part just snapped in.

Removed old part very easily and installed the new part without any problems. Used and adjustable wrench and screwdriver

replaced gaskets for the second time in four years
