The Drier Assembly is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. This part removes moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant, ensuring the system operates efficiently and effectively. The drier assembly helps maintain the proper function of the compressor and other cooling components, contributing to the longevity and performance of the refrigerator.

Causes of a bad drier assembly can include clogs from debris, wear and tear over time, or contamination from moisture or refrigerant leaks.  

Symptoms of a bad drier assembly include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• Frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coils
• Increased noise from the compressor
• Reduced efficiency and higher energy consumption
• You should replace the drier assembly if it becomes faulty or damaged.

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

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 Refrigerator Door Handle is an OEM replacement part for LG refrigerators. The door handle provides an easy grip point for opening and closing the refrigerator door. 

Symptoms of a bad door handle include:

• Looseness, wobbling, or detachment from the refrigerator door
