Re placed the water inlet valve. Read more

A bit of online research and some component testing narrowed my issue down to either a faulty ice maker or a bad supply valve. Appliance Parts Pros had both of these, at reasonable prices, so I purchased and replaced both items. I recommend watching online videos to get a sense of what to do, and how to go about doing it. The repairs were relatively easy, other than this being a bottom freezer model hence the ice maker was difficult to access: I removed the freezer door (four screws) to get... Read more

The tech sheet test 56 said the motor wouldn't return to zero. I ordered the "Ice Maker Assy-Lp, and the Valve Assy-Water Dual". On my particular model the ice maker is in the ceiling of the refrigerator box. After removing the water filter and two screws around the drop down water filter door, the right side panel drops down by pulling it apart from 3 plastic pop-ins. Two of them broke when the repair guy man handled it. Pulling easy and supporting the inside pieces is key. Then I unplugged... Read more

I ordered a new solenoid valve set and watched the online video of the replacement process. So after emptying my freezer and fridge, removing the doors and freezer drawer, so I could mover the fridge out of its cove, I discovered after taking the panels off the rear, that my fridge is different than that shown in the video. I went back online and discovered in one of the exploded views of the cabinet there is a panel inside the refrigerator which can be removed after taking the shelves out of... Read more

First I replaced the filter thinking it was the problem, but that was not the case. Next was replace water supply valve at the back of the refrigerator. It was very easy. The only thing that was in question was how to get the refrigerator side line off of the existing valve. There is a plastic slide clip that you remove and pull the line out and press the line back into the port it came out of. It was a very simple project and took about 20 minutes. Read more

Being an ex maintainence. person, I went down and turned off the water supply. Then I started to try to find the leak by removing the rear covers for the compressor and valves. Once removing a couple of covers where the dual valve was, I spotted where the water was coming from.I then pulled the electrical plug from the wall. Between the solenoid and valve. I removed the screws that held the valve in place. Then disconnected the three hoses going into valve and removed the two electrical... Read more

Replaced solonoid. Video was very helpful. Parts came in the time frame given when I ordered the part. (1.7 days). Without the video I would have called a repairman. Thanks . Read more

The dual inlet valve was the problem. The hardest part of the repair was moving the refrigerator so we could unplug it. The whole job took about 25 minutes and that includes the time we spent emptying and reorganizing the shelves. I love AppliancePartsPros.com. We have used this website to fix our oven, washer, dryer and now the ice maker. Thank you AppliancePartsPros! We only used one screwdriver and that was only used to open the back panel of the refrigerator. Read more

I called Appliance Parts Pros and talked to you, a customer care service person Whitley, which help me out real good in finding the right part I needed. She was very very helpful and knowledgeable. Read more

I viewed the self help video on You Tube and checked the water pressure first. Once the water pressure was determined to be fine I ordered a new water inlet valve as recommended from the video. LG supplier did not have the recommended part and after checking on-line I found Appliance Parts Pros had just what I needed. The video from Appliance Plus Pros showed step by step on how to replace the water inlet valve. It took me approximately 15 minutes to remove the old one and install the new one.... Read more

I WENT ONLINE AND TRIED TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND ORDERED A DEFROST THERMOMETER, BEFORE IT ARRIVED I CALLED THE SERVICE/ADVICE NUMBER. SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS FIRST, SPOKE WITH BRITTANY AND KEITH ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A WATER INLET VALVE, I ORDERED ONE, AND WITH KEITHS HELP I INSTALLED IT WITH HIM ON THE PHONE. DURING THE CALL I TEXTED HIM PHOTOS OF THE ISSUE AND HE WALKED ME THROUGH THE REPAIR. THE REFRIGERATOR IS WORKING PERFECTLY AND IT HAS BEEN THREE WEEKS. THEIR... Read more

This was a two and half year issue as different things failed at different times. I would get one part, then another would fail. Ultimately, I got to a point where what failed, I hadn't been ordered the part yet. The seal on the freezer door took three bathing's before it plumped up and un-creased. The directions on the box it is shipped in said to heat the seal up in hot water then cool it down with tap water. I didn't need to do that. It took a lot of massaging of the seal, but... Read more
