• Take photos before removal to ensure correct reinstallation

This water tank assembly holds and delivers chilled water to the dispenser and ice system, restoring proper water flow and preventing dispenser dry-running. Direct-fit replacement designed to match the original reservoir's form and function. What it does

• Stores and supplies water for the refrigerator dispenser and ice-making components.
• Replaces cracked or damaged reservoirs that cause leaks or loss of water supply.
• Helps resolve intermittent or no-water dispense when the tank is compromised.
• Works with the refrigerator's fill and drain pathways to maintain correct water levels.

• One water tank assembly

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing.
• Drain remaining water from the lines and tank to avoid spills during removal.
• Handle the tank carefully to avoid damaging fittings or mounting tabs.
• After installation, restore water and power, then check connections and test for leaks and proper dispense/ice fill.

This Pipe Assembly routes water into the appliance so the dispenser and ice maker can receive a steady supply. Replacing a damaged tube restores proper water flow and helps stop leaks or pooling inside or beneath the unit. What it does:

• Carries incoming water from the household supply to the appliance's internal water system
• Restores water delivery to the dispenser and ice maker when the original tube is cracked or blocked
• Prevents leaks and water damage caused by split, corroded, or pinched tubing
• Helps eliminate intermittent flow or weak dispenser output caused by a damaged water line

• One complete pipe assembly as shown

• Shut off the refrigerator's water supply and unplug the appliance before beginning
• Handle tubing fittings carefully; use proper tools to avoid damage or overtightening
• Inspect connection points and replace seals or clips if worn; test for leaks after reinstalling

This hinge bracket secures the refrigerator door hinge assembly so the door opens and closes smoothly and stays aligned. Replaces a worn or damaged bracket to restore proper door fit and reduce binding or sagging. What it does:

• Provides a stable mounting point for the door hinge shaft to keep the door aligned
• Restores correct door swing and sealing when original bracket is cracked or bent
• Helps stop door sag, rubbing, or uneven gaps that can cause cooling issues
• Durable molded metal/plastic construction resists wear from normal use

• One hinge bracket

• Recommended for technicians or experienced DIYers; disconnect power and empty door before starting
• Use correct screws and torque; reuse existing fasteners only if undamaged
• Inspect adjacent hinge parts and seals; replace any damaged components to ensure proper alignment
• Handle carefully to avoid damaging door finish and to maintain proper hinge geometry

The Dryer Thermistor is an OEM part for LG dryers, designed to monitor and help regulate the temperature within the dryer by providing feedback to the control board about the temperature inside the drum. This allows the dryer to adjust its heat settings accordingly, preventing overheating and ensuring clothes are dried evenly and safely.

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Thermistor include:

• Clothes not drying properly or taking longer than usual to dry.
• The dryer repeatedly stopping during a cycle.
• Error messages appearing on the dryer's display panel.
• The dryer getting too hot or not heating enough.

Causes of a bad Dryer Thermistor can include a buildup of lint and debris affecting its ability to accurately sense temperature, wear and tear over time, or electrical issues within the dryer's circuitry.

This OEM LG part can also be used on Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Drum Motor Assembly is an OEM part for LG dryers. It serves as the powerhouse that drives the drum, enabling it to tumble clothes during the drying cycle. This essential component ensures your dryer operates smoothly, providing the necessary torque for consistent and efficient drying performance.

Causes of failure might include wear and tear from prolonged use, overload from trying to dry heavy loads, electrical issues like short circuits, or physical damage to the motor components. 

Symptoms of a bad Drum Motor Assembly include:

• The dryer drum fails to turn, even though the dryer powers on.
• Unusual noises, such as humming or buzzing, indicating the motor is struggling.
• The dryer stops unexpectedly during cycles or won't start at all.
• Decreased drying efficiency or clothes taking longer to dry due to inconsistent drum speed.

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.

The Door Switch Assembly is an OEM part for LG dryers. It ensures the dryer operates only when the door is securely closed, acting as a safety feature to prevent the dryer from running while the door is open.

Causes of a bad door switch assembly can include regular wear and tear from frequent use, electrical issues such as shorts or faulty connections, or physical damage from forceful door closures or impacts.

Symptoms of a bad door switch assembly include:

• The dryer not starting
• The dryer stopping mid-cycle
• The drum light not turning on or off correctly
• The dryer continuing to run with the door open

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.

This duct assembly channels airflow inside the appliance to guide exhaust and internal air between components. Replacing a damaged or obstructed duct helps restore proper airflow and can reduce poor performance or long cycles. What it does:

• Directs exhaust and circulation air between internal components to maintain airflow
• Prevents leaks that can reduce efficiency or cause longer cycle times
• Helps avoid overheating or moisture build-up from restricted airflow
• Reduces rattling or vibration caused by a cracked or loose duct

• Disconnect power (and turn off gas supply for gas appliances) before beginning work.
• Handle edges carefully — sheet metal can be sharp; wear cut-resistant gloves.
• Ensure duct is seated and fastened to create a tight seal where it connects to other components.
• After reassembly, run a test cycle to confirm airflow and proper operation.
