Thomas W Manassas , VA March 18, 2019 Appliance: Model LFX33975ST (02) LG er 1f error code (ice maker fan) I only needed the Bracket Assembly motor, not the DC Motor or Fan Assembly that I also ordered so I will be sending those back. The repair was extremely straightforward with a few bumps along the way. All told it took me about an hour. I started with shutting off the breaker for the refrigerator and putting all of the frozen food in coolers. Then I removed the drawers and the bracket for the drawer rails on the left side (as your facing the refrigerator). I then proceeded to gently pry off the back panel of the freezer, starting at the upper left corner. It was completely frozen in place so this took a little time. When I was able to partially pull the panel off I saw that it was chunk of ice frozen to the ice maker fan insulation and the wire bundle going to the coils. Once I melted all of that the panel lifted right out after removing the 3 wire connectors in the upper right of the back of the freezer. I then removed the four screws holding the fan in place and some electrical tape holding wires together. Used the same screws to put the new fan in place, and a re-ran and taped the wires. I reinstalled the back panel starting at the bottom and working my way around the bottom left clockwise. Pretty simple work and saved a $100 visit fee.

Robert B Madison , WI October 09, 2019 Appliance: LG Refrigerator LFX31925ST ER FF code on the front of the refrigerator After clearing ice from the freezer fan area (twice) did not solve the problem, we presumed that the freezer fan/motor had stopped functioning. We looked up the parts on AppliancePartsPros website and ordered. The parts arrived within a day and a half. After watching a couple of installation videos, the parts were fairly easily replaced using standard screwdrivers. The freezer now works great!
