The Drain Pipe Assembly is an OEM replacement part for LG refrigerators. It is a plastic tubing system that collects and removes liquid condensation from evaporator coils. Proper drainage is crucial to minimizing frost buildup and ensuring optimal cooling of food storage areas. 

Symptoms of a bad drain pipe assembly include:

• Excessive frost or ice accumulation inside the refrigerator
• Puddling or leaks detected near evaporator housing
• Slow draining allowing water to pool versus emptying fully
• Cracks or breaks in the tubing prevent complete fluid removal

Causes are typically mineral sediment clogging drainage paths or deteriorating plastic from constant use. This OEM LG replacement pipe restores reliable condensate removal to maintain peak efficiency.

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

The Water Supply Tube (1/4" O.D.) is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It transports water from the household water line to the refrigerator’s water dispenser and ice maker, ensuring a steady and reliable supply of water for these functions.

Causes of a bad water supply tube can include wear and tear over time, kinks or bends restricting water flow, or leaks due to cracks or punctures.

Symptoms of a bad Water Supply Tube include:

• Leaks or water pooling behind or under the refrigerator
• Reduced or no water flow to the dispenser or ice maker
• Visible cracks or kinks in the tube
• Ice maker not producing ice or dispensing water intermittently

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

The Drier Assembly is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. This part is responsible for removing moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant. This ensures that the refrigerant circulates effectively and efficiently, preventing damage to other components and maintaining the refrigerator's cooling performance.

Causes of a bad Drier Assembly can include contamination from moisture entering the refrigerant lines, blockages from debris or particulates, and general wear and tear over time that reduces its effectiveness.

Symptoms of a bad Drier Assembly include:

• Reduced cooling efficiency or warm refrigerator temperatures
• Unusual noises from the refrigeration system
• The compressor running continuously or cycling frequently
• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils due to improper refrigerant flow
