Rattling or loose parts in your refrigerator? This retaining pin secures moving components and keeps them aligned for smooth, quiet operation.

This fan assembly circulates air through the appliance so coils and internal components operate at the proper temperature. Replacing a failed or noisy fan can restore airflow and help prevent performance issues caused by weak circulation.

• Moves air across coils and components to support designed cooling/dehumidifying performance
• Helps maintain steady airflow to reduce overheating or icing conditions
• A failing fan can cause little to no airflow even when the unit is running
• Common symptoms: fan not spinning, intermittent operation, loud rattling/grinding, vibration, or thermal shutdown

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid electrical shock or injury
• Access the fan area per your unit's service information; remove panels/shrouds as needed
• Note wire connections and mounting order; transfer any brackets, grommets, or hardware from the old assembly
• After installation, ensure the fan spins freely and clears all shrouds, then test operation before reassembly

This motor support damper sits between the refrigerator's compressor and base to absorb vibration and movement. Replacing a worn damper helps quiet rattles and humming from the back of the cabinet and keeps the compressor properly supported.

• Cushions the compressor to reduce transmitted vibration and noise
• Helps quiet humming, buzzing, or rattling from the lower rear of the refrigerator
• Maintains proper compressor alignment and support on the base pan
• Common signs of wear: increased vibration/noise, a cracked or flattened damper, or noticeable compressor movement when running

• Unplug the refrigerator and pull it forward to access the rear; allow the compressor to cool before working
• Support the compressor to remove load from the mount before loosening hardware
• Replace the damper and tighten mounting hardware evenly without over-compressing the rubber
• Avoid bending or stressing refrigerant tubing; wear gloves and eye protection

Refrigerator won't power on or loses power intermittently? This power cord assembly replaces frayed or damaged cords to restore safe, reliable operation.

The Fan Assembly is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It is responsible for circulating air within the refrigerator and freezer compartments, ensuring consistent cooling and optimal temperature distribution. The fan assembly helps maintain the freshness of your food by evenly distributing cold air.

Common causes of a bad fan assembly include electrical issues, worn-out bearings, or obstructions that prevent the fan from spinning properly.

Symptoms of a bad fan assembly include:

• Unusual noises coming from the refrigerator
• Inconsistent temperatures within the fridge or freezer
• Frost buildup in the freezer
• Refrigerator running continuously or not cooling effectively

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.

Plastic drain tube that channels defrost water from evaporator coils to drain pan. Replace if cracked, melted, broken, or causing water leaks in freezer.

The Rear Evaporator Motor Grommet is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It's designed to secure and cushion the evaporator motor, ensuring it remains in place and operates quietly. This grommet plays a crucial role in minimizing vibrations and noise from the motor, which can otherwise lead to a disruptive refrigerator operation.

Causes of a bad Rear Evaporator Motor Grommet can result from deterioration due to cooling and thawing cycles in the refrigerator. Physical damage during cleaning or servicing may cause a loose motor fit.  

Symptoms of a malfunctioning Rear Evaporator Motor Grommet include:

• Unusual noises or vibrations from the back of the refrigerator.
• The evaporator motor shifting out of place, which can affect cooling efficiency.
• Increased wear on the evaporator motor due to lack of proper cushioning and support.

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

Fix a refrigerator not cooling properly or running too warm with this temperature sensor. Monitors internal temps to maintain proper cooling.

Refrigerator not cooling or making clicking sounds? The compressor run capacitor provides electrical boost to start and run the compressor motor reliably.

This is a rubber or elastomer damper that supports and isolates the evaporator fan motor inside the refrigerator. It absorbs vibration from the motor to reduce noise during normal operation. Replace this part if you hear excessive buzzing, rattling, or vibration coming from the freezer section, which often indicates the damper has hardened or deteriorated.

Fix error code ER DH or ice buildup in your freezer with a new defrost control assembly. Regulates defrost cycles to prevent frost. Moderate DIY repair.

Refrigerator stopped cooling after power outage? The compressor overload protector prevents overheating damage. Easy DIY fix when compressor won't run.

The Fan Motor is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It is essential for circulating air throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments, ensuring that the temperature is evenly distributed and maintained at the set levels. This motor powers the fan that helps to cool the evaporator coils and dissipate heat, which is vital for the appliance's cooling efficiency.

Symptoms of a failing Fan Motor include:

• The refrigerator not cooling adequately
• Unusual noises coming from the refrigerator, such as humming or buzzing
• Ice buildup in the freezer compartment due to poor air circulation
• The refrigerator cycling on and off more frequently

Causes of a bad fan motor can include wear and tear over time, obstructions in the fan blades, or electrical issues such as faulty wiring or a malfunctioning capacitor.

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.
