How to Troubleshoot & Replace Lg AP4441530 / 6600JB3001C Dispenser Switch

Purchased a new microswitch after watching the video from AppliancePartsPros.com. It was as easy as it looked and only took about 10 minutes. 

Used info on this website to diagnose the problem as a failed dispenser micro switch. Ordered a new one and replaced the old one. It was difficult to pull the electrical connectors off the old switch, but eventually did it with some pliers. Also a little tricky to get the large dispenser lever back on. 

Ordered the exact part from AppliancePartsPros.com. I received it in a timely manner and fixed the problem. 

Watched a youtube video. I ordered the parts and once they arrived the job was done in 20 minutes. 

Bought a new switch and ice guide. Fixed the problem. 

The only tricky part about this repair is removing the panel from the front of the refrigerator door. Following the video at Appliance Parts Pros, allowed me to get the panel off. Once I had access to the switch, it was a very quick replacement. Getting the panel back on all the way was also tricky, but a little pressure applied in the right spots did the job. 

Watched video on your website, ordered part which came in 24 hours! 

Replaced it. 

I purchased a new micro switch from Appliance Parts Pros, part LFX25991ST. The process of fixing it is pretty simple. You remove the whole section where the water and ice dispenser are located on the front of the fridge. There is a video that Appliance Parts Pros provided to show how to do it. They recommend using a paint scraper to pry the section out. I actually have car trim removal tools, little plastic pry’s that you can get on Amazon for $10.00. They worked much better than the paint scraper and I broke no clips. Start prying from the bottom and go in a counter clockwise direction. Once you get the panel off you will see the two micro switches on the back of the panel. The ice dispenser one is the lower one. It is held on by one screw. My screw was rusted and a Philips head screwdriver wouldn’t work. I used my Dremel cutting blade to score the top of the screw and removed it with a flat head screwdriver. You just install the new micro switch and re-install. Fridge now dispenses ice! 

Replaced dispenser switch. It was an easy fix. After removing the old switch, I noticed some corrosion on the terminals that were interrupting the electrical flow from the switch to the dispenser. A new $13 switch solved the problem.
