This ice maker drive gear replaces the small plastic gear that turns the ice-eject/auger mechanism so your ice maker can harvest and dispense cubes reliably. Fits compatible LG ice maker assemblies. What it does

• Transfers motor rotation to the ice-eject/auger mechanism so ice cubes are pushed out or advanced.
• Commonly replaced when cubes aren't being ejected, ice builds up, or the mechanism spins without moving the ejector.
• Works with the ice maker's actuator/motor to synchronize harvest and fill cycles.
• Small, precision-molded gear designed for quiet, consistent operation in the ice maker assembly.

• One ice maker drive gear.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or accidental motor operation.
• Remove the ice maker module and inspect surrounding gears/shaft for wear or debris before installing.
• Press the gear onto the motor shaft or replace the internal gear assembly as required; do not force or hammer into place.
• If other components show wear (motor, shaft, or companion gears), replace them to prevent repeat failure.

The Ice Room Fan Motor is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It circulates cold air within the ice compartment to maintain the optimal temperature for ice production and storage. By ensuring even air distribution, the fan motor helps keep the ice at the right consistency and prevents it from melting or clumping together.

The ice room fan motor can fail due to various reasons, including wear and tear from continuous use, electrical issues, or obstruction from ice buildup. Over time, the motor bearings can wear out, or the fan blades can become damaged.

Symptoms of a bad ice room fan motor include:

• The ice maker not producing ice or producing less ice than usual
• Ice melting or clumping together
• Unusual noises coming from the ice compartment
• Temperature fluctuations in the ice room

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

This cover assembly finishes and protects the T/V control/display area, keeping the buttons and display aligned while shielding internal electronics. Replacing a cracked or loose cover restores proper fit, clean appearance, and reliable button operation.

• Provides front trim and protective housing for the T/V control/display module
• Supports correct alignment of buttons/touch areas and display/light windows
• Protects internal wiring and boards from impact and incidental moisture
• Common symptoms: cracked or chipped trim, broken mounting tabs, loose or rattling panel, misaligned or sticky buttons

What's included: One cover assembly. Install notes:

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Use a plastic trim tool to release clips and prevent scratching the finish
• Transfer any lenses, brackets, switches, or display boards from the old cover to the new one
• Ensure all tabs fully engage and any screws are snug; do not overtighten

The Defrost Heater is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. This part is responsible for melting away frost and ice that accumulates on the evaporator coils during the cooling cycle, ensuring the refrigerator operates efficiently and maintains the proper temperature.

Common causes for defrost heater failure include electrical failures such as blown fuses or faulty wiring, wear and tear from normal use, and damage from moisture or corrosion. 

Symptoms of a failing Defrost Heater include:

• Buildup of frost in the freezer compartment
• The refrigerator struggling to maintain the set temperature
• Leaks inside the refrigerator due to ice melting inconsistently
• Increased energy usage as the fridge works harder to cool

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.
