Lg 4811JJ2002H Bracket Assm.,Mtr. OEM Part

The fridge is only about 2 years old and belongs to my 78 year old Mom. She didn't buy the extended warranty and a repair tech could not get to her for 4-5 days. Being a DIYer I've never repaired a new fridge but have worked on older refrigerators, washers, dryers, and small appliances. I researched appliance repair and forums and came across Appliantology.org. I registered, and of course broke the rules on my first post by not providing the model # in the title and so it was deleted. I paid my $19.00 begrudgingly in order to download the repair manual, which by the way I found after watching a helpful video. The cheap and temporary fix was to just unplug the unit and let nature defrost the freezer section nearest the evaporator fan motor. Of course at this point I didn't have the repair manual in hand so removing the bottom freezer door was more difficult and time consuming than it should have been. When I put it back together the noisy fan motor sound was gone and cooling & freezing had resumed to normal operations. This quick & free fix only lasted a few days before the problem returned. Now properly armed with the repair manual, and the new evaporator fan motor from AppliancePartsPros.com, which arrived in less than 24-hrs from my order, excellent turnaround I must say; I headed back to Mom's to fix it right. The manual made it less than a 2-minute job to remove the freezer door versus the 15-20 minute job doing it the hard way. Using a couple of screwdrivers, I was able to remove the failing iced-over evaporator fan motor and install the new one making sure to "water-proof" the molex connector with a small plastic bag & electrical tape. Before putting on the inside rear back panel, I powered on the unit to check for proper operation. Satisfied the new evaporator fan motor was working properly, I reinstalled the back panel and the ice maker, and quickly reinstalled the freezer door and food baskets. Hopefully I won't need to replace the Main PCB as suggested in the Appliance Forum. If I do, I'm confident AppliancePartsPros.com will get me the part promptly and I can quickly make the necessary repair. I'm rating the repair a 3 instead of a 2 based on some of the research required and the fact that new parts were necessary. Thank you AppliancePartsPros.com and Appliantology.org for your excellent advice and customer service.

I replaced the motor and AppliancePartsPros made it SO EASY! I watched the video and thought it would be manageable. The parts came super quickly and were packaged well. APP saved me hundreds of dollars. It wasn’t hard to do just time-consuming. I was going slow though to be careful. If you attempt this repair on your own? When you remove the connecting rod on the back of the drawer? It’s not clear in the video, but you need to press outward toward the outside of the unit to get it to pop out.

I replaced the fan and the two bushings, upper and lower. I watched the video on this site that was with the bushing page, very easy. I saved myself quite a bit of money on a technician or new refrigerator.
