Parts for Lg LFX21980ST/00: Refrigerator Parts

The Water Filter is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It is a component that ensures the purity and quality of your drinking water and ice.

The water filter is designed to effectively reduce contaminants, impurities, and odors from your water supply, providing you with clean and refreshing drinking water. It employs advanced filtration technology to remove substances such as chlorine, sediment, and other potentially harmful particles.

Causes of a faulty water filter can include regular usage over time, expiration of its filtering capacity, or clogging due to sediment buildup. These factors can result in compromised water quality, decreased flow rate, or unpleasant taste and odor.

Symptoms of a bad water filter may include:

• Decreased water flow from the dispenser
• Water with an unusual taste or odor
• Visible discoloration or particles in the water

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

This small torsion spring restores tension to the dispenser ice door lever so the chute door snaps closed after dispensing. It helps keep warm air and moisture out, reducing frost, condensation, and stray ice from the dispenser.

• Provides return tension for the dispenser ice chute door/lever
• Helps the chute door seal properly to limit warm air infiltration
• Worn or broken springs may cause the ice door to stay open or close slowly
• Symptoms can include frost/ice buildup in the chute, moisture at the dispenser, or cubes dropping/clumping

• Unplug the refrigerator or switch off the circuit breaker before servicing
• Remove the dispenser trim/panel to access the ice door mechanism; note spring orientation with a photo
• Use needle-nose pliers and eye protection—small springs are under tension and can snap
• After installation, cycle the dispenser to confirm the door opens/closes freely and seals
