The Flapper Door Spring is an OEM part for LG refrigerators, designed for the ice dispenser's flapper door mechanism. This spring plays a role in ensuring the flapper door opens and closes properly, providing a tight seal when the ice dispenser is not in use.

Over time, the flapper door spring can lose tension or break due to fatigue or corrosion, leading to issues with the flapper door's operation.

Symptoms of a bad Flapper Door Spring include:

  • The flapper door on the ice dispenser fails to close completely
  • Ice or frost buildup around the dispenser area
  • Difficulty dispensing ice
  • Increased energy consumption as the refrigerator works harder to maintain its set temperature

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

Questions & Answers

For Lg Flapper Door Spring (Part Number: OEM16972254)

1 Answer

Barton, A couple of possibilities would be that the ice door is slightly open from a piece of ice lodged in the chute. Another possibility could be some leaking when the ice maker cycles. You can remove the ice bucket to observe the chute area and you also can force the ice maker to cycle and watch it as it does to check for any water leaking.

Dan M for Model Number LFX28978ST /00

I ordered a mullion spring MHY62044103 after searching on my model number, but apparently the /00 after the number is important, since this spring is wound the wrong way, so needs to be returned. According to your site, the MHY62044106 spring is not compatible either, yet another repair parts site lists this as the factory replacement part for my model. Can you verify one way or the other if that spring will work, or do I have to pay $91 for an entire mullion when all I need is a $5 spring?

1 Answer

Dan, the manufacturer recommended spring for the mullion of your model is MHY62044103. It is possible that the spring may be upside down, causing improper tension on the mullion.

Hello Cstockley, If the model number is actually LFX25978SW, you will need to order AGU74110902 to get the spring since the manufacturer is not offering the spring on this model individually.

Hello Sharon, I'm sorry but the spring is not available from the manufacturer individually. You will have to order the mullion plate assembly AGU74110902 to correct the issue. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Dennis, Unfortunately the manufacturer does not have instructions for installing the spring but there should be a hole at the bottom of the mullion that the spring will go into and then another on the hinged part that the spring will go into. This unit does not show that the spring can be gotten as a separate part.

Ray, At the top of the cabinet there is a guide that the mullion must go into and if the door is sitting too low it will not make contact to close. Check for door being out of position.
