71609 LG Refrigerator - Instructions

replaced the ice maker with the new assembly kit, the longest time taken was to fit back the pull out door .. had to align the slots correctly and check that it slid back and forth easily.

I popped the old switch out of place and then disconnected the wire harness from the switch with a pair of needle nose pliers. I then inserted the harness into the new switch and popped the switch into place. Super easy and fast.

I first took off a plastic trip strip which just popped off with a little pull. Then I pulled the gasket off slowly all around the perimeter of the door and snapped off the guide strip with the help of a screwdriver. I installed the gasket next first the guide strip then followed up with the pushing the gasket into the groove all around the door. Did the same procedure on the other door. The gaskets came very well packed and undamaged. It took approximately 2 weeks because one gasket was on back order. Thank you for your help with these parts. It would have cost me 3 times as much if the repairman performed this repair.

Removed white plastic trim and installed new latch / cam shaft

removed 1 screw and replaced

Changed door switch. Repair worked for a few days but re-occured. Possibly the other switch is bad .

Unscrewed cover, 2 screws. Had some trouble getting it out. Was concerned about damaging the cover and cracking the plastic. Was able to remove it with no damage but it comes out of the installation slots very hard. Be patient and wiggle it until it comes out. Two more screws release the led board. It was changed very easily. Reassembly was easy but had to fight the plastic cover to get it to snap into place. Tightened the two screws for the cover. Broke the cover where the flat of one of the screws tightens against. I ordered other parts which assembled well. One part came in incorrect which I was reimbursed for and the new part was sent right out. Over all I give Parts Select a A ratin

Simple replacement part.

Simply used a flat head screwdriver to get the first few inches of the gasket out of its track and after that just pulled it by hand. New gasket slipped over the door, lined up the corner and pressed into in the track. Checked to see that it was snug all over and we were done. 5 minutes at the very most. Never would have noticed this. Took all the bins out of the freezer to give it a good cleaning and noticed the torn piece hanging. Our refrigerator runs much less often. Expect to see a difference in our electric bill!
