Door gaskets on French doors needed replacement.
Saved me $175.00 to $250.00 for an appliance repairman to come to my house for this. Absolutely simple to do. Pull gasket from right side door, no tabs or screws. Replace with new gasket, simply push new in by hand. Left side door needs two screws removed from’ flap. Now, gently bump the bottom of the flap to lift the flap up only three inches or so. Remove the electrical connection tab under the metal plate that the two screws secured. Now, repeat what you did on the right side door. Simple!

No Ice
Unplug the refrigerator and empty the freezer. Remove the lower basket and roll out upper tray. Open the freezer door. I was able to lie on the floor to remove the 2 screws holding the ice maker without removing the
freezer door. Depress the 2 tabs and slide the ice maker forward to remove. Install in reverse order. Change the water inlet valve at the same time.

I actually took a picture of the correct spring installation at a big box store that carried LG. I had called LG, but they said they didn't have any installation brochures, and to call a registered LG repairman. That was out of the question, since the repairman would charge $100 just to show up.
I looked at the picture I took. Used needle nose pliers and inserted one end. Unless the lady of the house is very strong, this should be handled by a man, because of the rigid spring. Once the spring was inserted into one side of the flap, I used the pliers to get the other end into the proper slot. Very easy, but the spring is very strong !!

The lights wouldn't always come on.
I actually watched a YouTube video for LG refrigerators. The hardest part was taking the wire harness out. Mine was really stuck in there. But got it, put the new switch in and viola it worked. Yay!

After 10 years of service the right door gasket needed replacement.
It was SO easy. No clamps or brackets. Grabbed the gasket with pliers to get started removing it - just pull it out of the deep groove inset around the perimeter of the door. Within one minute I had the old gasket removed. Started installing the new gasket by inserting the top right corner 1st (pushing the new gasket profile into the deep groove inset on the door). Working around the top and right side slowly inserting the gasket profile into the deep groove around the entire door. You may have to "adjust" a bit by pulling on the gasket but within 5 minutes I had the new gasket in-place never having to turn off the refrigerator. YouTube has great "how-to" videos. It's easy!

Broken plastic/glass
Now that you have to buy a complete assembly that includes the drawer in the classy window it's very simple to replace however you buying parts that you don't need simply because G no longer makes the window. Which I find rather odd being as though that they make the whole assembly think and sell windows by themselves for less than 2/3 of what I spent through the whole assembly
