I called LG and followed the instructions given over the phone. The instructions couldn't have been simpler. Disconnect the appliance for several hours and then connect again. I disconnected the appliance overnight, cleaned out the freezer, and reconnected it. Problem solved. Did not need to call a repairman and did not use the clips.

turned it off. took out the old and set the new in place. no tools required but did have to "pop" stuff into place. it was fairly awkward to do. Also would like to have replaced veggie bins They are cracked but these are not available. Only problem was figuring out what to order from the exploded diagram. It is very small on the computer screen and part numbers are difficult to read even with a magnifying glass

Lifted the old one out, set the new one in!

Inserted it with my hands.

Filled tray and installed it in freezer. Went rather well for this being my first time.

Tape off the light button so door alarm does not go off. Take off the clear light shield and remove the light bulbs. Be careful, bulbs may still be HOT!! With Phillips head screw driver unscrew the light plate assy. Drop it down in a comfortable position. Disconnect the connector, unscrew the thermal sensor and remove light assy. Install new light assy into light plate assy. There is no thermal senor in the new assy. Snap light plate assy back into place and install the two screws previously taken out. Install bulbs and clear cover. Remove tape from light door switches and you are done. Lights should go on and off when door buttons are pushed in and out.

It was an easy repair, not even sure if I would call it a repair. First remove the two veggie bins and then remove the frame and glass shelf. Put the new frame I've received with the glass and slide it back in the refrigerator. Thanks to the help of the customer service rep and made sure I had the correct part.
