LTCS24223S (ASTCNA4) LG Refrigerator - Overview

This refrigerator/freezer problem had been escalating for almost a year, requiring me to frequently knock the ice buildup free with a rubber mallet. I finally decided to try to identify the problem by removing the freezer door and all of the shelves and shelf tracks (easily removed with only a phillips screwdriver). Then I removed the back plastic panel to expose the cooling coils, which were partially encased in ice. I deduced that the evaporator fan motor was failing, which blows air over the freezer cooling coils and forces the cool air up into the upper refrigerator section (which was not staying cold). I then found and ordered the fan motor from part select. Their search function and exploded drawing schematics made it easy to identify the part and part number. It seems the original part number had been superceded with a new number, which I ordered. Once it arrived after about a week, I transferred the fan blades from the old motor to the new fan motor, and after completely drying out the freezer compartment, I reinstalled all of the parts and plugged in the unit and waited. By the next day, the refrigerator was operating at peak efficiency, and the ice buildup in the freezer has not returned. I was very close to scrapping the entire refrigerator as junk, but with a little diagnostic effort and about $110 for the new motor, I have a fully functioning refrigerator again. Thanks to Part Select for a great experience.

We've had issues with this LG LTCS24223S refrigerator's gaskets since we've bought it.

The repair was simple with no tools required.

I simply pryed out the old gasket and replaced with new one. It's an easy fix now we'll see how it works as far as keeping the frost from building up inside.

Repair was super easy.
PartSelects packaging is what shined. I ordered from another vendor first, and the shelf was delivered broken. Just the part in a box, nothing to protect it. And they charged me shipping to return it. Not PartSelect! Their part was wrapped with bubble wrap, air cushions, and paper! The shelf survived shipping and was installed within 5 minutes. Thanks PartSelect!
