This DC evaporator fan motor circulates cold air across the evaporator coil and throughout the cabinet. Replacing a noisy or non-running motor restores airflow so the refrigerator cools evenly and reliably. What it does

• Draws air across the evaporator coil and distributes chilled air between sections
• Helps maintain stable temperatures and recover after door openings/defrost
• Common symptoms: refrigerator too warm, weak or no airflow from vents, loud or intermittent fan noise, frost buildup around the evaporator cover
• Fan may not run even though the compressor and lights are on

• Includes: 1 DC fan motor

• Unplug the refrigerator and wear cut-resistant gloves
• Remove the evaporator cover to access the motor; disconnect the wire harness
• Reuse your existing fan blade, grommets, and bracket if applicable; match the original orientation
• Route wires clear of the blade, reassemble, restore power, and verify airflow

• Door alignment issues where doors are difficult to open or close fully
• Visible leaning or misalignment of the refrigerator cabinet

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

The Gasket Assembly Door is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. This gasket forms a seal around the refrigerator door, preventing warm air from entering and cool air from escaping, thus maintaining optimal temperature inside the refrigerator.

Causes of a bad gasket assembly can include wear and tear over time, damage from frequent opening and closing of the door, or degradation from exposure to various elements. A compromised gasket can lead to inefficiency in the refrigerator's cooling performance.

Symptoms of a bad gasket assembly include:

• Warm air entering the refrigerator
• Increased energy consumption
• Frost buildup inside the refrigerator
• The door not sealing properly or being difficult to close

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

The Door Gasket Assembly is an OEM replacement part for LG refrigerators. This part seals the door and maintains a thermal barrier. Proper compression provides energy efficiency.

Causes of a faulty gasket assembly may involve deterioration as adhesive softens from repeated compression. Mineral deposits accumulated over extended use could also harden material reducing flexibility.

Symptoms of a problematic gasket include:

• Cool air felt leaking from the door
• Moisture visible on seal interface areas
• Temperature fluctuations

This part is also compatible with some Kenmore refrigerator models.

The Deli Drawer Front Cover is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It provides an attractive facia that protects the internal components of the deli drawer. This cover is designed to integrate with the style and finish of the refrigerator interior. 

Symptoms of a bad Deli Drawer Front Cover include: 

• Cracks, chips, or other visible cosmetic damage
• Discoloration that detracts from the aesthetics  
• The cover is loose, misaligned, or missing
• Difficulty opening or closing the deli drawer

Causes of a bad cover can be normal wear and tear over time from repeated use, as well as accidental drops or impacts that cause cracks or breaks.

This OEM replacement part is also compatible with select LG models.

The Water Valve Assembly is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It controls the flow of water into the refrigerator's ice maker and water dispenser, ensuring a steady and controlled supply. This valve opens and closes in response to electrical signals from the refrigerator, allowing water to enter the appropriate compartments for ice making and dispensing.

Over time, the water valve can wear out or become damaged due to mineral deposits, wear and tear, or electrical issues. A malfunctioning water valve can lead to problems such as water not dispensing correctly or the ice maker not producing ice.

Symptoms of a bad water valve assembly include:

• No water dispensing from the refrigerator
• Ice maker not producing ice
• Leaking water from the valve area
• Unusual noises coming from the valve

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

The Evaporator Fan Motor is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It powers the evaporator fan located inside the refrigerator's cooling system. The evaporator fan circulates chilled air through ducts and into food storage compartments, helping maintain an even temperature.

Causes of a bad evaporator fan motor include failure due to bearing wear, component fatigue from continuous operation, damage from debris accumulation over time inhibiting rotation, or failure of electronic components controlling motor function.

Symptoms of a faulty evaporator fan motor include:

• Temperature fluctuations in refrigerator and freezer sections
• Intermittent cooling or inability to cool fully
• Abnormal fan noise or abnormal vibration
• Frost or moisture buildup within refrigerator ducts

This LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

• Use ESD protection and handle the board by the edges only
• Label or photograph connectors and transfer wiring one at a time to the new board
• Some models require service-mode setup or calibration after installation; follow the service documentation

This assembly stores ice and delivers it from the ice maker to the dispenser. Replace it when the bin is cracked, warped, or its drive components are damaged, causing weak dispensing, jams, or being stuck on one ice type.

• Stores ice and interfaces with the dispenser system to deliver cubes or crushed ice
• Resolves no or weak ice dispensing
• Corrects grinding/clicking noises or auger jamming from a damaged bin
• Addresses visible cracks, broken tabs, or a bucket that won't seat securely
