Safety First

Safety comes first when working on any appliance. Here are some practical tips to help keep you safe:

• Always turn off the power by unplugging the appliance or switching off the circuit breaker before starting. This protects you from the risk of electric shock.
• Wear insulated gloves to protect your hands from sharp edges, pinching hazards, or debris.
• Take your time and work at a steady pace to avoid accidents or injuries.
• Make sure your workspace is well-lit so you can clearly see and access the parts you’re working on.
• Keep your area organized and free of clutter, and ensure children and pets are kept away from the workspace.
• Never handle internal parts with wet hands. Make sure both your hands and the work area are completely dry.
• Check your appliance’s user manual for specific instructions or safety guidelines related to your repair.
• Handle parts gently to prevent damaging the appliance or injuring yourself by using too much force.
• Wear safety glasses if you’re dealing with chemicals, dust, or large debris to protect your eyes.
• If the appliance was recently used, give it time to cool down before working on any heated components.
• Take photos or notes of wiring connections before disconnecting anything. This makes reassembly much easier.
• Avoid touching exposed wires or terminals. If you need to handle wires, use non-conductive tools or wear insulated gloves to reduce the risk of electrical shock.

Replacement Steps

Make sure both power and water are off before beginning any repairs.

1. Open both fresh food doors to fully expose the crisper bins and pantry drawer. Remove any contents and lift out the crisper bins, setting them aside out of the way.
2. Pull the pantry drawer completely out on its rails towards you. While supporting the drawer with one hand, lift up the broken door panel so you can slide the drawer all the way out. There are 3 clips that hold the pantry drawer door in, you will just push up on the door to unclip it from the shelf.
3. Make sure the inside panel of the pantry drawer is clean and free of any loose debris, dust, or grease where the door will go. 
4. Line up the clips on the new door with the holes on the shelf and it just snaps into place. 
5. Check to make sure the door now sits flush with the shelf and front of the drawer. It should open and close smoothly on its hinges.
6. Lift up the pantry drawer and carefully slide it back inside the fridge, pushing it closed within its rails until resuming its original closed position.
7. Re-insert the crisper drawers onto their own floor-mounted rails, sliding them back into place one by one.
8. Restore power to the LG or Kenmore refrigerator only once fully reassembled without any obstructions inside.
