The Defrost Sensor Assembly is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It plays a critical role in the defrost system by monitoring the temperature of the evaporator coil to ensure that it remains at the optimal temperature to prevent frost buildup. The sensor sends signals to the control board, triggering the defrost cycle when necessary.

Over time, the defrost sensor assembly can fail due to wear and tear, electrical issues, or exposure to moisture and temperature fluctuations. When the defrost sensor malfunctions, it can cause improper defrost cycles, leading to excessive frost buildup, reduced cooling efficiency, or the refrigerator not defrosting at all.

Symptoms of a bad defrost sensor assembly include:

• Excessive frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• Refrigerator or freezer not maintaining the correct temperature
• Increased energy consumption
• Refrigerator not defrosting properly

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

The Ice Door Solenoid Assembly is an OEM replacement part for LG refrigerators. This assembly controls the opening and closing of the ice door, which allows ice to be dispensed from the freezer to the exterior of the appliance. When you request ice, the solenoid activates, opening the ice door and permitting ice to pass through.

Symptoms of a bad Ice Door Solenoid Assembly include:

• Ice door not opening or closing properly
• Failure to dispense ice
• Ice accumulating or jamming at the dispenser

Causes for a malfunctioning Ice Door Solenoid Assembly can include electrical issues such as faulty wiring, wear and tear from frequent use, or mechanical problems affecting the solenoid's ability to move the ice door.

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

The Fan Assembly is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It is responsible for circulating air within the refrigerator and freezer compartments, ensuring consistent cooling and optimal temperature distribution. The fan assembly helps maintain the freshness of your food by evenly distributing cold air.

Common causes of a bad fan assembly include electrical issues, worn-out bearings, or obstructions that prevent the fan from spinning properly.

Symptoms of a bad fan assembly include:

• Unusual noises coming from the refrigerator
• Inconsistent temperatures within the fridge or freezer
• Frost buildup in the freezer
• Refrigerator running continuously or not cooling effectively

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

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 Toe Grille Clip is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. This part secures the toe grille to the base of the refrigerator, ensuring it remains in place while providing easy access for cleaning and maintenance. 

Causes of a bad Toe Grille Clip can include breakage due to accidental impacts during cleaning or general wear and tear over time. 

Symptoms of a faulty Toe Grille Clip include:

• The toe grille coming loose or falling off
• Difficulty attaching or detaching the grille for routine maintenance
• Visible damage or deformation of the clip
• Unusual gaps between the grille and the refrigerator base

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

This sheathed defrost heater mounts at the evaporator and melts frost during the automatic defrost cycle to restore airflow and stable temperatures. Replacing a failed heater helps prevent ice-clogged coils, warm spots, and noisy fan interference.
