Changing out the Ice Maker tube
An easy way to get a refrigerator out from the wall is to use a tow strap or 1/2 to 3/4 in. rope. Throw a loop behind refer while keeping both ends in your hands. Let it settle down to the lower half of unit and pull using both hands. Comes right out.
Remove lower panel. Unscrew water valve from cabinet. Remove all tube holders Lay some rags down to catch a little water drainage.
Turn off water supply valve at wall. Unplug Power. Remove filter and filter holder. (one screw).
remove tube from valve by removing plastic C clip. Push plastic ring towards the valve and pull out tube at same time.
With the tube free, remove filter, then mount screw to remove the inside filter holder. When it is out, pull the tube doing the same process as the lower end. Pull tube out and replace with new one putting everything back in reverse order.
Before placing tube holders back on, turn on water to check for leaks.
After turning water back on and plugging in power, push refer back into place.
While I was there, I also replaced the hose from the wall to the refer.

Ice chute would not open.
Removed ice dispenser and display with small screwdriver from front of the fridge. Pried out the whole piece slowly. This exposed the motor that activates the chute. Plugged in the new motor before any removal to verify the motor was the problem. When it worked, removed old and installed new. 3 screws. Piece of cake.

The water dispenser lever came off, due to broken tabs in the door panel.
Before you begin, I'd recommend unplugging the refrigerator. You have to slip the putty knife in around the edge of the dispenser panel and carefully release the tabs all the way around and the entire panel pulls straight out. There are three wiring harnesses to unplug. You'll have to remove several screws and release the tabs around the electronic panel and remove it from the main panel. It's a good idea to take note or even pictures of how the ice and water actuators are positioned on the panel, so you get them situated properly on the new panel. If the ice actuator is not fit correctly on a knob that sticks up it may dispense ice all the time (happened to me). After you transfer the actuators to the new panel and the ice and water dispensing levers, you can re-attach the electronic panel on the left side. make sure all of the wiring harnesses are plugged in and the wires situated out of the way, then re-install the panel by pushing it straight back in. Plug the refrigerator in and test it out.

Fridge waterline for ice maker / door water
The heavy work is moving the fridge, then take off the lower plans. Use a bowel or cup for screws and the water line connector spacers so you don't loos them.
undo connections holding water line, including the bottom brakes for the solenoid. Reuse the spring around the lower waterline to prevent external wear on the line.

NOTE: remove the waterline connector spacers and save!
NOTE: you must compress (not pull) the connect to then pull the waterline out of the connectors.
NOTE: You must also remove the water filter and housing inside the fridge but this is easy.
MOTE: Test the line for leaks by turning on the water and then using the door water. The filter will need to refill so it may take a minute before water comes up. This line only have pressure when the door water is used or the ice maker needs to make ice.


After replacing the line, test the line for leaks by using the door water so the solenoid fills the lines

My ice maker wouldn't release the ice, nothing was frozen and the motor would just bind
I bought the ice assembly motor only, super easy to install, remove the three main screws, lift out assembly, detach the cable. Then remove the screws on the parts, lift the tape, redo everything in reverse and it works flawlessly!

The shelf on our refrigerator was cracked so I ordered a replacement.
Some have said that the installation took 5 minutes. Mine took less than that, and I did it with one hand. I had a beer in my other hand.

Ice dispenser continued to dispense ice unless I turned it off all together
Removed the section of refrigerator that dispenses ice and water. Necessary to pry with object that does not scratch like plastic scraper. Then pull out and replace the switch Micro -- only has one Phillips screw holding switch. Replaced the dispenser and snapped on the New button assembly I broke and job was done. Works perfectly now..

Broken door basket
The repair was an easy replacement. The problem was the LG part was no longer available from LG or any of the other places I tried. The PartSelect customer service representative was a true professional and did an outstanding job of helping find the correct part (LG's diagram was unreadable) and cross-referenced it to find the the part that PartSelect actually had in stock. I had the part in four day. The best customer service I have had in years. I lost his name but the order was 13449146. He deserves a raise!

Ordering the right parts
I ordered the needed parts, the correct ones I thought, but when they arrived, I realized they were the wrong parts shipped to me. The reason the wrong parts were shipped to me was because PartsSelect failed to advise me there were none of the parts I needed available so they shipped the left hand basket assembly, door, versus the desired right hand basket assembly, door. I then had to return the wrong parts shipped to me, at my cost of ~$25, and await a refund for the wrong parts originally shipped to me. That's how I did the repair.
