Bad Push Button Switch

I followed the directions! It was so easy that I bought another switch for my sister's fridge (same as mine). Her light was out too!

Light stopped working

Have had the Sears repairman come to the house to replace this part in 5 minutes for +$100.. twice. When my dad's stopped working, ordered the part and replaced it myself for the cost of the part and shipping.
Use a screw driver to pry the right side of the switch and pull out. Best to watch a youtube video first. Takes about 5 minutes.

Refrigerator light not coming on when door opens.

Unplugged the refrigerator. Used small flat head screw driver to push the front tab of the old switch in and pulled it out with pliers. Detached and reattached the wires to the switch. Reinserted back into hole. Plugged refrigerator back in to power. All good.

Refrigerator light not working. If I would flick the button it would go on for a minute but not stay on.

The old switch was a little hard to get out....took me a couple tries. I couldn’t move the frig out to unplug it, so just shut the power off in the kitchen. But, I was happy that’s what the problem was and so happy to have the light back on......it was probably three years it didn’t work!

Lights out on refrigerator

Unplugged the refrigerator, Taped around the edges of switch as I had read to prevent possible scratches, used very thin flathead screwdriver to pry out old switch, unplugged old switch, plugged in new switch, put it back in opening, plugged fridge back in, and I had beautiful light! Hardest part was unplugging the refrigerator!

The spring broke

I could not as the spring was too large and did not fit. Calls to Parts Select were not very useful as I described the problem and was told that that was the correct part, even though I supplied photos.
Rather than research the problem, I was told to call LG. Not exactly the response I expected from an authorized distributor. By the way, LG service said to call an authorized distributor, so round and round I go Please help.

Broken Flapper Spring on Door

Initially the wrong spring was sent. The coiled spring must have COUNTERCLOCKWISE wind for this refrigerator door. A spring with a clockwise wind was initially sent. Partselect very promptly and efficiently corrected the problem at their expense. For this reason I give them a strong recommendation.
View their instructions on youtube.

Door switch would not turn on interior refrigerator light.

I had previously watched a YouTube video (do this first!!) on a similar Kenmore model so I knew what to look out for: (1) turned off power, (2) took thin putty knife to slip under outer lip of switch (most screwdrivers are too thick), (3) wiggled switch at front end to release the tab, (4) unplugged from the socket, (5) plugged in new switch, (6) popped new switch back into door, (7) turned on power. Voila !! Super easy. I couldn't believe it.
