Lg 6421JB2002R Ice Door Solenoid Assembly OEM Part

I looked on u-tube to see what the problem was.Then I ordered the parts from appliance PRO .The parts arrived when they said.After starting to install new parts I guess it took me about one hour to complete the repairs. I never thought I could work on my fridge,but It was very easy.

It was fixed by replacing the solenoid assembly behind the ice dispenser. Using a butter knife I pried off the plastic cover (the place where you put your cup to catch the ice) which revealed the solenoid. After unplugging the wires to the solenoid, I removed the two bottom screws and loosened the top screw. The solenoid then pulled out easily. I replaced the solenoid and re-tightened all of the screws and put the wires back in place. I had to push the plastic cover fairly hard to get it back into place, but it is pretty sturdy plastic.

I ended up looking up the part and replacing the solenoid assembly. I verified that I had the right pat by contacting appliance pros directly. Once I received the part I removed the water ice enclosure and then I had access to the solenoid which made for an easy replacement. I just had to be careful to pull the right areas so that I wouldn't break any tabs.

I watched the video attached to the part schematic for the three parts that work the chute - there is a small motor/actuator and the flap itself (which includes the spring, so really didn’t need to order the spring additionally). The hardest part was getting the cover off - I put tape all around the outside of the edge on the refrigerator to avoid scratching it and then used pry tools I have for automotive repairs (pulling off trim and panels) and was able to get it out without a problem. Client saw all the mold behind it and wanted to clean it out - so account for 30 minutes for OCD clients to get out bleach and Q-tips to clean out the area behind the panel. Don’t need to disconnect power - but you do need to lock the ice maker/water as you have to depress the water switch to get the panel out around the water dispenser - and put a rag into the ice chute from the inside. Swapping out parts was easy - just don’t lose the two little screws that hold the flap on. Take a picture with your phone before you disassemble and then re-install as you un-installed. Getting the panel back on was a bit hard with the door handle in the way - be patient and push easy but firm. The hardest part was getting the panel off and waiting for the client to clean out behind the panel. Problem solved - not sure if it was the flap or the motor - but since I knew we were going to have it open, I replaced both to save a return trip/delay in repair for client.

One of your reps helped me place my order and troubleshoot my problems. Great help.
