• Disconnect power and, if applicable, turn off the water supply before service
• Note the orientation of the original part to match fitment
• Reuse existing mounting screws or hardware unless the manufacturer specifies otherwise
• Do not overtighten fasteners; the secured component is fully seated and stable

The Ice Bucket Assembly is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It is designed to collect and store ice produced by the icemaker, ensuring a convenient and organized storage solution within the freezer.

Causes of a bad ice bucket assembly can include damage from frequent handling, cracks or breaks due to impact, or issues with the internal components such as the auger or motor. Over time, these issues can impair the functionality of the ice bucket, leading to inefficient ice storage or dispensing problems.

Symptoms of a bad ice bucket assembly include:

• Cracks or visible damage to the bucket
• Ice not dispensing properly
• The bucket not fitting securely in place
• Excessive noise during ice dispensing

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

This AC fan motor drives the cooling fan that moves air through your appliance's heat-exchange coils, helping maintain stable temperatures. Replace a failed motor to restore reliable airflow and reduce noise or inconsistent cooling.

• Powers the fan blade to move air across the coils for efficient heat transfer
• Helps maintain steady compartment temperatures and overall cooling performance
• Common symptoms include: fan not running, weak or no airflow, loud humming/squealing, or intermittent cooling
• Replaces a seized, slow, or burnt-out motor to restore proper circulation

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow moving parts to stop completely
• Access the fan assembly; note wire positions and mounting orientation
• Transfer the fan blade, bracket, and grommets from the old motor if required
• Secure the motor, route wiring as original, ensure the blade spins freely, then restore power and verify operation

This is a complete freezer door assembly that replaces a damaged or worn freeze-room door to restore sealing and cold retention. It helps improve temperature consistency and prevents frost buildup when the door is intact and sealing properly. What it does:

• Replaces the outer and inner door components used to open and close the freezer compartment.
• Restores a proper door seal to help maintain consistent freezer temperature and reduce compressor run time.
• Addresses common symptoms like visible door damage, poor sealing, or cold loss from the freezer compartment.
• Helps stop moisture ingress that can lead to frost buildup and food spoilage.

• One complete freezer door assembly as shown.

• Handle with care to avoid scratching finished surfaces; support the door during removal/installation.
• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting work to prevent electrical hazards when the door has sensors or wiring.
• Verify fasteners, hinges, and any attached wiring/gaskets are present and secure after installation.

This lower ice bank door hinge secures and pivots the freezer's ice bank door so it opens and closes smoothly, helping maintain proper sealing and ice dispensing alignment. Designed as a direct replacement for the original hinge. What it does:

• Supports the ice bank door, providing a stable pivot point for opening and closing
• Keeps the ice bank door aligned to maintain an effective seal and proper operation
• Prevents sagging or binding that can interfere with ice dispensing or door function
• Restores correct door movement after hinge wear or damage

• Use basic hand tools; keep power to the appliance off and unplug before starting
• Handle the ice bank and door carefully to avoid damaging the trim or ice chute
• Reuse original fasteners only if undamaged; replace damaged screws to ensure secure mounting

This door gasket seals the refrigerator door to the cabinet to keep cold air in and moisture out. Replacing a worn or deformed gasket restores a tight seal for proper cooling and helps reduce frost and condensation around the door opening. What it does:

• Forms an airtight seal between the door and cabinet frame
• Helps maintain stable internal temperature and humidity
• Helps prevent frost, icing, and condensation near the door
• Helps with symptoms like visible tears, gaps, poor door sealing, or warm spots/frost near the gasket

• 1 refrigerator door gasket

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Warm the new gasket (soak in warm water or gently heat) to improve flexibility
