LFD21860ST (00) LG Refrigerator - Instructions

Replace the drawer crisper

the lights melted the lamp case and cover. I determined it was the switch ,but there was 2 of them . I replaced both . I used a screw driver to pry the covers off the switches which are on the top of the unit .Then I press the tabs on the switch and pulled it out. Slip the wire connect off. slip the wire connect on new switch press it in till the tabs snap in ,put covers back on. the lamp base and cover had two screws holding them, pull the screws slip the old melted base and cover. snap the new base and cover in and put the screws in done!

replaced melted light covers, replaced switches, and found another problem with power circuit board relay, on order now!!

No installation instructions. I just took everything out of the shelf holding the drawers and figured it out myself. Unfortunately today's products are made with cheap brittle plastic. This is the second time I have ordered parts for this refrigerator from you and I am glad you are so efficient and shipped orders quickly.

At first, ordered only a latch only to discover the mounting strip had instead failed. Ordering parts wasn't difficult although the parts catalog graphic leaves a lot to desire. Once I figured out how to remove the strip (had to remove the seal first and no instructions existed), it was easy to snap out the old and snap in the new part. This sure beat the cost of paying a repairman. However I fear than most homeowners that aren't mechanically inclined wouldnt have been successful because of no instructions and the parts catalog that had poor detail and a very small size.

Replaces door switches - removed screw from door hinge cover, lifted cover and removed switch. Plugged in new switch and reversed process. Removed screws from light bracket. Attached new frame to slots in roof and used screws to attach. Clipped on light cover.

The most time-consuming part is unloading the fridge so you can make the repair, and putting it all back in! Plus you clean everything (glass cover, etc) while it's out. The repair itself probably only took 25 minutes at most. You have to unscrew 4 screws to detach the center metal rails, then snap out the rails. Snapping them into the new cover must be done carefully so as not to break off the tabs on the plastic part you're replacing. It requires a little hand strength (I have arthritis in my hands, so my husband did this part). Then put everything back together and restock the fridge.
