Took out tray , removed 2 screws, removed old rail and installed new one.

I have moderate to good mechanical skills, but getting the old switch out was a sizeable challenge. Since this switch suffered some damage during extraction, I was lucky to have ordered a new one to replace it. Reinstall took approximately 90 seconds. PartSelect saved me an expensive service call.

The 2 minute or so video was not exactly matching the model that we had but the instructions were very good and important. The switch was a little difficult to get out from the side of the refrigerator.

Removed back panel and water inlet valve and replaced with a new water inlet valve

Found a LG parts video and followed each step. Simple except getting the end of rod into the solenoid arm. Took a few tries, but got it.

Removed the cover 2 screws
Squeezed the 2 side sleeves and removed
Snapped in new button, replaced the cover. Done

Remove door seal and cam shaft (one piece). Remove broken cam by removing Philips head screw. Replace broken cam with new cam and reassemble. The actual repair took about 15 minutes however the majority of time was spent figuring out that the door seal and cam shaft had to be removed, no tools required.

My son just pried out the old switch with a screw driver snapped out the old one and snapped in the new one. Pretty sure even I could have done this. Very quick and easy. Thanks. :-)

Cover the putty knife with tape so you do not scratch the side wall where the switch is located. Slide the knife under the edge of the switch and push in a bit towards the switch and slightly twist to pop the switch out of its hole. Disconnect the wires from the switch and simply plug in the new switch. Push wiring back into the hole and careful push the switch into the hole until it snaps into place.

I screwed the old one out and replaced it with the new one. A no-brainer. The thing that was so amazing was that I ordered the filter on the intrnet and it arrived the very next day!!! I was very surprised and pleased with the very quick shipping!!!

Removed Ice dispenser and installed new one.

I waited for 2 weeks for a professional appliance repairman to fix my water leak. He kept telling me he was trying to get the part. I finally gave up on him and ordered the part online. Only took a few minutes for the repair. Got the part via mail in 3 days.
