Parts for Lg LFX28968SW01: Dispenser Parts

The Water Filter is an OEM replacement part for LG refrigerators. It is designed to remove impurities, contaminants, and unwanted particles from the water supply, ensuring that the water dispensed and used for ice making is clean and fresh.

Symptoms of a need to replace the water filter:

• Unpleasant taste or odor in the water or ice
• Decreased water flow from the dispenser
• Discoloration or sediment visible in the dispensed water

Causes of a faulty water filter can include general usage over time, exposure to high levels of contaminants in the water supply, or physical damage or clogging of the filter media.

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

This dispenser door link connects the dispenser actuator to the refrigerator dispenser door so the door opens and closes smoothly when dispensing. Replaces a worn or broken link to restore proper dispenser door movement. What it does:

• Transfers motion from the dispenser actuator to the dispenser door so the door opens when dispensing
• Keeps the dispenser door aligned for proper sealing and closure
• Can fail if the door won't open, sticks, or the dispenser lever feels loose or disconnected
• Compatible with dispenser assemblies that use a separate plastic/metal link between actuator and door

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work
• Access may require removing the dispenser trim or front housing—keep fasteners organized
• Handle plastic components carefully to avoid cracking; inspect surrounding parts for wear

This holder bracket replaces a damaged or missing mounting support. It secures an internal component so it stays aligned and stable, helping your appliance operate smoothly without looseness or rattling.

• Provides a rigid mounting point to hold a component or assembly in place
• Maintains alignment to reduce vibration, rubbing, and intermittent operation
• Restores support when the original bracket is cracked, warped, or missing
• Common symptoms include a loose/wobbly part, rattling noises, or visible broken tabs

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Note the original bracket's orientation and transfer any clips or screws from the old part
• Use existing hardware and tighten fasteners evenly—do not overtighten
• Verify proper fit and alignment before restoring power

The Ice Door Lever Spring is an OEM component compatible with LG refrigerators. It is part of the mechanism that opens and closes the ice door on LG French door refrigerators. Over time, springs can lose resiliency or become misaligned.

Causes may be extensive usage over years or damage like kinking that compromises spring function.

Symptoms of a bad ice door lever spring include:

• The ice door not latching fully when closed
• Difficulty opening or poor balance while moving the door
• The lever rubbing or catching instead of moving smoothly

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators.

The Actuator Lever is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It plays a crucial role in the dispensing mechanism of the refrigerator, allowing for the controlled release of water and ice. The lever is designed to interact seamlessly with the internal components of the dispenser to ensure smooth and reliable operation.

Over time, the actuator lever can wear out or become damaged due to frequent use or mishandling. Causes of a bad actuator lever include physical wear, breakage from excessive force, or deformation due to constant usage.

Symptoms of a bad actuator lever include:

• Difficulty in dispensing water or ice
• The lever sticking or not returning to its original position
• Unresponsive dispenser mechanism
• Unusual noises when using the dispenser

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

The Dispenser Micro Switch is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It is a component of the ice and water dispensing system, responsible for activating the dispenser when the lever is pressed. 

Causes of a bad Dispenser Micro Switch can include mechanical wear from frequent use, failure due to moisture or debris affecting the switch’s contacts, or electrical faults that prevent proper signaling.

Symptoms of a bad Dispenser Micro Switch include:

• The dispenser not releasing ice or water when the lever is pressed.
• Continuous dispensing or dripping after the lever is released.
• Intermittent or no response from the dispenser controls.

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

The Ice Dispenser Door Motor is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. This motor is responsible for the operation of the ice dispenser door, controlling its opening and closing mechanism to allow ice to be dispensed without letting warm air into the freezer. 

Symptoms of a bad Ice Dispenser Door Motor include:

• The dispenser door not opening or closing properly,
• Ice not being dispensed when activated,
• Unusual noises coming from the dispenser mechanism.

Causes of ice dispenser door motor failure can include electrical issues such as shorts or wiring problems, mechanical wear over time, or blockages that strain the motor.

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

This sub power control board assembly controls and routes electrical power and control signals for the appliance, restoring electronic control when the original sub-PCB fails. Use this board to address power and control-related faults. What it does:

• Regulates and routes power to motors, valves, sensors and other control circuitry.
• Processes low-voltage control signals from the main board, user interface and sensors.
• Common symptoms linked to a failing board: no power or no response, intermittent operation, error codes or unresponsive controls.
• Replacing the faulty sub control board can restore normal electronic operation and command response.

• Disconnect the appliance from power before beginning any service.
• Handle the PCB by the edges and use proper ESD precautions to avoid static damage.
• Verify all connectors are fully seated and wiring matches the replacement before reapplying power.
