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

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

The Water Tube Connector is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It is specifically designed to securely connect the water supply tubes in the refrigerator. The connector ensures a proper seal, preventing leaks and ensuring a consistent water supply to your refrigerator.

Causes of a bad water tube connector can include wear and tear over time, exposure to water pressure, or damage due to accidental impact or mishandling. These factors can result in leaks, water flow disruptions, or a loose connection, leading to issues with water dispensing or ice making.

Symptoms of a bad water tube connector may include:

• Water leaks at the connection point
• Reduced or intermittent water flow
• Complete water flow blockage

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

The Compressor Overload Protector is an OEM replacement part for LG refrigerators. It plays an important safety role in protecting the compressor from damage due to excessive heat. Located near the compressor unit, the overload protector functions to shut off power to the compressor if temperatures become too high during operation.

Causes can include normal wear over time rendering it less responsive to temperature changes. Mineral or refrigerant deposits may also impede its ability to detect overheating conditions accurately.

Symptoms of a faulty overload protector include:

• Refrigerator fails to properly cool or the compressor does not run
• Circuit board or electrical component failure or burnout
• Lack of cold air production and higher than normal freezer/fridge temperatures

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

The Freezer Drawer Gear is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It facilitates the smooth operation of the freezer drawer, allowing it to slide in and out effortlessly.

You should replace this gear if it becomes worn or damaged. Causes of a bad freezer drawer gear can include regular wear and tear, damage from overloading the drawer, or mechanical issues due to improper alignment or installation.

Symptoms of a bad freezer drawer gear include:

• Difficulty in opening or closing the freezer drawer
• The drawer not staying aligned or level
• Unusual noises when operating the drawer

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

Right side upper hinge.

This fan motor assembly circulates air across the evaporator coils to keep temperatures even inside the refrigerator. Replacing a worn or noisy motor restores proper airflow for consistent cooling performance.

• Drives the evaporator fan to move chilled air through the cabinet and vents
• Helps maintain stable temperatures and reduces frost from stagnant air
• Common symptoms: weak or no airflow, loud or intermittent fan noise, temperature fluctuations, refrigerator section warmer than expected
• Failures may result from worn bearings, moisture exposure, or an open motor winding

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection
• Access the fan behind the interior rear panel; remove shelves/drawers as needed and avoid bending evaporator fins
• Note wire connector orientation and mounting order; transfer any reusable hardware from the original assembly as needed
• After reassembly, verify the fan spins freely and confirm operation before reloading the compartment

This plastic tube carries water within your refrigerator between internal components. Replacing a brittle, kinked, or leaking line restores dependable water flow and helps prevent drips that can damage interiors, cabinetry, or floors. What it does

• Routes water between internal components (such as valves, filters, reservoirs, and dispensers)
• Helps maintain proper water flow and pressure when intact and unkinked
• Typical failure symptoms: water leaks, slow or no water flow, visible cracks, flattening, or kinks
• Age- or heat-related hardening can cause stress cracks near bends or fittings

• One plastic tube

• Unplug the refrigerator and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Note original routing and clip locations; avoid sharp bends, abrasion points, and hot surfaces
• Insert tube ends fully into their fittings (quick-connect or compression, per design) and gently tug to confirm they're seated
• Restore water, purge air as needed, and check all joints for leaks before pushing the unit back

This dispenser lever holder is the mounting bracket behind the refrigerator's dispenser paddle. It supports and aligns the lever and switch so water or ice dispenses reliably when the paddle is pressed.
