After my layman's diagnosis (hope) of a bad micro switch to the ice dispenser (would not activate and dispense ice through the chute) I purchased the both the ice and water dispenser micro switches (kill two birds with one stone). Albeit the video attached to these parts may be helpful to some it was not applicable to my refrigerator, as you could not access it from the front by removing the exterior dispenser plate. Don't try this on the LG, LFX25991ST series, refrigerator or you may break it causing you additional headaches.
I would be in denial if I said I was not concerned with pulling out the entire panel dispenser / electronics panel from the door. I was worried about scratching or denting the stainless steel, or breaking the plastic panel insert itself. I used a 9-in-1 Multi-Purpose Tool, as I found this sturdier than the hard plastic putty knife I originally attempted to use. After getting the courage to force this insert away and out of the door I started at the bottom (after removing the water catch basin). I pried the handle upwards to until I heard a "pop" and was able to pull the bottom out about a 1/4 inch. I then worked my around to the right as you face the door, hearing additional "pops" as I did so, pulling on the insert a little at a time as I went around (bottom, right and top). I did not have to actually use the tool on the left side where the electronics are located, as it seemed to loosen up as the other three sides wiggled out of the door panel. After a couple moments I was able to pull it out completely without breaking any of the tabs.
The switch was easily accessible at this point. It was heavily corroded at the wire terminal connection. I cleaned the terminal the best I could. The screw that holds it in place was also heavily rusted, but I cleaned it up too and reused it. This fix worked like a charm!
