78503 (AST1SER) LG Refrigerator - Instructions

Removed Ice dispenser and installed new one.

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.

Gave model number on website, found picture of icemaker section. Ordered part that came in 3 days and switched old for new

Removed the damaged tube and replaced the it with a new one.

slid screw driver under edge of switch, easy.

Easy repair. Unplugged refer. Took back cover off with screwdriver. Unscrewed the support for the pump. Unhooked water lines from both ends of bad pump. Pulled electrical line off the old pump. Put the support on the new pump, hooked up lines, and electrical plug and screwed the pump to the frame. Put the coever back on unit. Plugged back into wall. Worked immediately.

Uncoupled the old connector, replaced with new connector and attached supply line. Repair easy with right part, prior to ordering the right part I had tried a compression fitting and it still leaked. U-tube and others demonstrating repair assured me I was on the right path.

So easy that my 13 years old son replaced it.

I called LG and followed the instructions given over the phone. The instructions couldn't have been simpler. Disconnect the appliance for several hours and then connect again. I disconnected the appliance overnight, cleaned out the freezer, and reconnected it. Problem solved. Did not need to call a repairman and did not use the clips.

My husband took out the ice maker. We ordered the part. He looked on YouTube for instructions. Including looking up instructions, I think it took him way less than an hour.

clipped new part on ice door

It's a snap in part. 10 seconds to install

Simple replacement part.

Very easy just took old out and put in the new ones. Took less then 2 min.

The vegetable bins at the bottom of the refigerator weren't sliding smoothly, as the two outlying rollers had snapped off the large plastic frame that houses said bins. Unclipped/unsnapped all the covers and glass shelving and remaining rollers attached to the frame and reinstalled them on the new frame. The only tough part was removing/installing a couple of large transpaent pieces of plastic that sit directly under the glass shelf. I'm not sure what their function is, except perhaps to look nice. But I had to pull the frame out with surprising force to snap the pieces in and out. Had to use a screwdriver for leverage and was afraid I was going to crack the frame. There must be a trick to it, because I'm a strong guy and it was still hard for me to do; there must be an easier way. Nevertheless I got them in ok, and bins pull out easily again. I was impressed when comparing the old frame to the new one, btw, as the new one's roller-attachment point is far sturdier than the old one. Obviously this was a weak point that has been well-addressed.
