LFX31945ST (06) LG Refrigerator - Instructions

easy repair. First step is you need to remove all food from bottom shelf and remove all three produce drawers. Then remove the meat drawer. You will need to lift the bottom self off the rail to remove. It is not heavy and does not need to be fully taken out of fridge - easier if you do but some what hard to get out.Unscrew the rail and unplug the old rail. Clean off the fridge - my fridge was gross behind the rail. Insert the rail into the fridge and then screw in the two screws. Place the bottom self back on the two rails and you are done.

This repair is pretty straight forward. Just remove the 3 screws that hold the ice maker and bin assembly in, unplug the wire harness connector, then remove it from the refrigerator door. Once removed you simply need to remove 3 more screws that hold the ice maker to the auger/bin frame, remove the temp sensor, and a couple pieces of tape. Re-assemble the new ice maker in reverse order and you are all set. I think part of the issue I was having was due to mineral buildup in the tray as well so it had a hard time cracking and removing the ice. Not sure why it was overfilling, maybe the sensor was broken or had buildup on it as well. This solved all the problems I was seeing and now it makes great ice that doesn't stick together and form a bridge in the bin.

Followed instructions online

Very easy. Just slipped it back into place

We pryed the ice dispenser housing out unscrewed the overlay from the relay board and then reversed the process to put it back in time consuming but went slow as not to brake tabs or crack housing

Unplug from wall receptacle. Pry switch out with screwdriver while pushing on inner tab. Then disconnect electrical plug.

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.

Called a local repair shop to get the problem diagnosed. Nice repair guy came out and was pretty confident that it was the main board . However his supplier had it on backorder and had a 7 day shipment estimate. When he told me I got on the internet and parts select had the part in stock with a 2-3 business day arrival. I rolled the dice and ordered it. Came the next day via Fed x. It took me 15 minutes to put it in and so far so good. Without the diagnosis I would have been in the dark as to what was wrong so it was worth the fee for the service call to get an expert diagnosis

1. Unplug the refrigerator (to avoid shock) 2. With one screwdriver pry open the switch on the side facing the door to a gap of about 1/8 inch 3. Insert a second screwdriver into the gap to press the plastic tab back slightly and this should release the part. 4. pull the part out and unplug it, you may have to pry back some small tabs on the sides, 5. Plug in the new switch 6. plug in the refrigerator the light should come on, if not tighten the connection 7. Insert new switch back into its slot, it should snap in place. Done!

Removed old gasket from the door and replaced with new gasket.

Removed upper drawer/basket from freezer

Removed 2 Philips screws

Removed rail bracket assembly

Reinstalled reversing those steps

Works like new.
Happy wife. Happy life. FYI- I am nearly 77 yrs young.

Covered the sidewall with tape to protect. Pried the switch out with knife blade and removed electric plug with needle nose pliers. placed plug in new switch and pushed switch into the hole in the side wall. Took about five minutes.

Simply removed old gasket. Started in a corner with installing the new gasket. It went in easily and quickly.

Used a small screw driver inserted into the front of the switch (facing the front) and pried until the switch was coming out. When out, I removed the connect harness and replace the switch with a new one.
