Lg AKC72949319 Ice Bucket Assembly OEM Part

I replaced the old bucket assembly with the new one that I purchased. I believe that this bucket assembly for my LG refrigerator is not designed well by the manufacturer and I suspect that I will have to replace it with yet another one in the future. It is cheaper than replacing the whole refrigerator. I will not buy another LG appliance.

Looked online for repair parts I used appliance parts pros before so I looked up the part in the manuals that they supply on line and ordered the proper parts. Not a hard fix I removed the old unit this one came in two days replaced it and it has been working great since.

After an online chat with customer service I ordered the correct part and when imstalled everything works as it should.

Replaced Dispenser Switch and the Ice Dispenser Door Motor. It seemed from Youtube videos that it was the Dispenser Switch but just decided to change them both out. I only did two tests after swapping the Dispenser switch (one screw and the wire connector thing is all that holds it in) and the ice dispenser kept the chute open as long as I held it. Still swapped the motor out. I wanted to swap out the Ice Bucket Assembly as it cracked on the bottom when trying to clear out one of the "ice damns" previously before I figured out what was really happening. This video was the only one I found that was directly the problem I was experiencing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mc9aUfHUgSw Got ice door front panel off using putty knife (seen in a lot of videos) and this one which didn't work until I loosed a few of the top and top sides first. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7V37EHMJjZQ Lock the fridge water and ice dispenser in case you press the buttons as you'll get water and ice on the floor.
