Lds4821bb Parts

The Micro Switch is an OEM part for LG dishwashers. It plays a crucial role in detecting when the door is securely closed prior to starting a cycle. This important safety feature prevents accidental exposure to hot water, detergent, and chemicals. 

Causes of a bad micro switch include degradation from years of repeated use, debris interfering with mechanisms, or damage from attempts to force or slam the dishwasher door closed.

Symptoms of a bad micro switch include:

• Cycles failing to start despite a closed door
• Hot water or steam visible escaping when running 
• The dishwasher not detecting the closed door position
• Error codes displayed related to door position sensors

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore. Replacing only when truly faulty helps ensure safe and reliable dishwasher function.
 

This check valve is a one-way valve used in the refrigerator's water line. It prevents backflow to maintain pressure for the dispenser and ice maker, helping reduce drips and ensuring consistent water delivery.

• Allows water to flow in one direction only to prevent backflow
• Helps maintain line pressure for steady dispensing and proper ice fills
• May reduce post-dispense dripping at the water outlet
• Failure symptoms can include slow/sputtering dispense, dripping, or inconsistent ice fills

• Unplug the appliance and shut off the household water supply before servicing
• Dispense water to relieve pressure; place a towel to catch residual water
• Note the valve's orientation/flow direction and tubing routing before removal
• Fully seat tubing and secure connections; restore water and check for leaks

• Channels air into the tub during the dry cycle
• Helps maintain the vent seal to limit moisture escape
• Common signs it's needed: poor drying results, rattling near the vent, visible cracks/warping, or moisture around the vent area

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Access from inside the tub; remove racks if needed
• Note screw locations and any seal orientation; seat the cover evenly and tighten screws snugly without overtightening
• Run a short cycle to check airflow and inspect for leaks
