Parts for Kenmore 31006: Freezer Compartment Parts

The LG Refrigerator Water Filter is an OEM Replacement Part. It is designed to improve the quality of water and protect refrigerators and ice machines from sediment deposits. This NSF-Certified filter effectively reduces iron and particulates. It also preserves beneficial minerals like fluoride. The filter measures 5.6 inches high and 3.3 inches in diameter.

It is installed by removing the top shelf and pulling the old filter downward. Then turn it counter-clockwise, and replace it with the new filter aligned in a horizontal position. To ensure the best performance and the removal of trapped air and contaminants, it's recommended to flush the dispenser with 2.5 gallons of water in alternating cycles. If your model includes a water filter indicator, press and hold the Filter or Reset button for 5 seconds after installation. With a lifespan of 6 months and a 500-gallon capacity, this filter provides both quality and longevity.

This leveling leg assembly stabilizes and levels your refrigerator so it sits solidly on the floor and the doors align correctly. Replacing a worn or stripped leg helps reduce rocking and vibration and restores smooth leveling adjustment.

• Provides height adjustment to level the cabinet on uneven floors
• Supports the unit to prevent rocking or wobbling
• Helps doors close and seal properly when the cabinet is level
• Symptoms may include persistent wobble, vibration/rattling, or a stripped/bent foot or screw

• Unplug the refrigerator and use a helper to prevent tipping injuries.
• Protect flooring; remove the kickplate/grille for access if present.
• Thread out the worn leg; hand-thread the new assembly and adjust height—do not over-extend.
• Level side-to-side and front-to-back per your owner's manual, then reattach any panels.

This hinge lever mounts on the refrigerator door hinge to guide door movement and closure, helping the door seal properly. Replacing a worn or broken lever restores smooth operation and consistent sealing.

• Helps maintain door alignment for a reliable gasket seal
• Replace if the lever is visibly cracked, worn, or deformed

• Disconnect power and support the door to prevent injury or damage
• Remove the hinge cover and fasteners; note the lever's orientation before removal
• Install the new lever in the same position and reassemble the hinge components
• Adjust hinge per model procedures if needed

The Lower Hinge Assembly is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It is responsible for supporting the refrigerator door and allowing it to open and close smoothly. The hinge assembly ensures the door stays aligned and securely in place, preventing cold air from escaping and maintaining the efficiency of the appliance.

You should replace the lower hinge assembly if it becomes faulty. Causes of a bad lower hinge assembly can include wear and tear over time, excessive force or weight on the door, or damage from accidental impacts.

Symptoms of a bad lower hinge assembly include:

• Difficulty in opening or closing the door
• Door not sealing properly
• Squeaking or grinding noises when the door moves
• Door misalignment

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

This replacement fan assembly restores airflow in your appliance's cooling system to help maintain proper temperature and circulation. It's a direct-fit replacement designed to stop airflow-related issues and reduce noise from a failing fan. What it does:

• Circulates air across evaporator/condenser coils to support proper cooling and defrost cycles
• Replaces a worn or failed fan that can cause warm compartments or poor cooling
• Helps eliminate unusual humming, grinding, or rattling caused by a damaged fan blade or motor
• Supports even temperature distribution and can reduce frost buildup when fan operation is restored

• Disconnect power before starting; work on powered appliances can cause shock or injury
• Handle the fan blade carefully to avoid bending blades or damaging the motor
• Secure mounting fasteners to prevent vibration

This controller assembly is the main electronic control board that manages your appliance's cycles and user interface, restoring normal control when the original board fails. It replaces a faulty control module to help the unit operate reliably. What it does:

• Controls timing, cycles, and functions per user commands and sensor inputs
• Replaces malfunctioning or unresponsive control electronics that cause erratic operation
• Can resolve symptoms such as no power to controls, unresponsive buttons, or incorrect cycle behavior
• Works with existing wiring harnesses and display components when compatible

• Disconnect power before beginning work to prevent shock or damage
• Verify connector locations and orientation before removing the old board
• Handle the board by edges and avoid contact with circuitry to prevent static damage

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.

The Front Evaporator Motor Grommet is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. This grommet cushions and secures the evaporator motor, reducing vibrations and noise during operation to ensure efficient cooling.

Causes of a bad grommet can include prolonged use leading to material fatigue, exposure to extreme temperatures, or physical damage from accidental impacts. A damaged grommet can result in increased noise and potential misalignment of the evaporator motor.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator motor grommet include:

• Increased noise from the refrigerator
• Vibrations or rattling sounds
• Poor cooling performance
• The evaporator motor becoming loose

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

The Door Switch is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It is responsible for detecting whether the refrigerator door is open or closed, allowing the appliance to control the interior light and, in some models, the cooling functions accordingly.

Causes of a bad door switch can include wear and tear from frequent use, electrical issues, or physical damage to the switch mechanism. A faulty door switch can lead to improper operation of the refrigerator's light or cooling system, affecting overall performance.

Symptoms of a bad door switch include:

• Interior light not turning on or off properly
• Refrigerator not cooling properly or running continuously
• Door alarm not functioning correctly
• Intermittent or unresponsive switch operation

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

The Light Bulb is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It can be used in either the fresh food section or freezer compartment, providing illumination for easy visibility of the stored items.

Symptoms of a bad light bulb may include:

• No illumination or dim lighting inside the refrigerator
• A flickering or intermittent light
• Visible damage or broken filament inside the bulb

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

The Freezer Temperature Sensor is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. This sensor monitors the temperature within the freezer compartment, sending readings to the refrigerator’s control board to maintain optimal temperature levels. It plays a crucial role in ensuring that the freezer operates efficiently and keeps food items properly frozen.

Over time, the temperature sensor can fail due to regular wear and tear, electrical issues, or exposure to extreme temperatures. A faulty sensor can lead to inaccurate temperature readings, affecting the freezer's performance.

Symptoms of a bad freezer temperature sensor include:

• Inconsistent freezer temperatures
• The freezer running continuously or not running at all
• Frost buildup in the freezer compartment
• The control board displaying error codes related to temperature

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