THERMISTOR ASSEMBLY,PTC

This joint assembly is the connector that joins two refrigerator water tubes to form a tight, leak-resistant seal. Replace it to stop leaks at a line coupling and restore reliable dispenser and icemaker water flow.

• Connects two plastic water lines within the refrigerator's water system
• Maintains a watertight seal to prevent drips and air intrusion
• Common fix for leaks at a coupling or tubing that won't stay seated
• Symptoms include slow/sputtering dispenser, small/no ice production, or visible seepage at the connector

• Unplug the refrigerator and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Dispense water to relieve line pressure
• Depress the connector collar to release the tubing; cut damaged tube ends square and fully insert tubing until it bottoms out
• Restore water and power, then check all connections for leaks

The Filter Assembly, Head is an OEM replacement part for LG refrigerators. As an essential filtration component, the filter head houses the water filter and is responsible for dispensing clean, filtered water through the refrigerator's dispenser. It works to remove contaminants and improve taste.

Causes of a bad filter head can include normal wear and tear over time, mineral buildup within the head that impacts water flow, or damage to the head itself from accidental impact.  

Symptoms of a bad filter head include:

• Reduced or slow water flow from the dispenser 
• Noticeable declines in water filtration effectiveness
• Leaks or water damage around the filter head area

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

This DC fan motor drives the appliance's internal circulation fan to keep air moving where it's needed. Replacing a failing motor restores proper airflow and can resolve noise, non-running, or intermittent fan operation. What it does:

• Powers the fan that circulates air through the appliance and across coils
• Helps maintain stable temperatures by keeping airflow consistent
• Supports defrost performance by preventing stagnant, frost-prone areas
• Symptoms of failure include the fan not running, running intermittently, or making grinding/rattling noises

• 1 DC motor

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the fan housing; remove covers/guards and clear any ice or obstructions
• Transfer the fan blade and any grommets/brackets from the old motor to the new one
• Note connector orientation; ensure the blade spins freely and clears the shroud before reassembly and testing

This holder is a small mounting bracket that secures a mating component in place inside the appliance. Replacing a cracked or missing holder restores a firm, rattle-free fit and proper alignment.

• Provides a stable mount for the designated part
• Prevents shifting and vibration that can cause noise or premature wear

• When damaged, the connected component may be loose, noisy, or misaligned

• Disconnect power; if working near water tubing, also shut off the water supply
• Note the original orientation and mounting points; take a photo before removal
• Reuse existing fasteners and avoid overtightening to prevent cracking the plastic
• Ensure the attached component is secure and clears any moving parts before restoring power

This door gasket seals the refrigerator door to the cabinet to keep cold air in and moisture out. Replacing a worn or deformed gasket restores a tight seal for proper cooling and helps reduce frost and condensation around the door opening. What it does:

• Forms an airtight seal between the door and cabinet frame

• One door gasket

• Disconnect power before servicing; turn off gas or water supply if applicable
• Allow heat-producing appliances to cool completely before starting
• Remove the old gasket and clean the mating surfaces thoroughly
• Press the new gasket evenly into the channel or onto retainers; check door closure

This cabinet roller supports the refrigerator and lets the unit roll in and out of place for cleaning or service. Replace a worn or broken roller to restore smooth movement and help keep the appliance properly positioned.

• Supports the base of the refrigerator and enables rolling movement
• Helps with safe positioning and service access without dragging
• Common failure signs: appliance is hard to move, scraping or rolling noises, a flat-spotted/cracked wheel, or a wheel that won't turn
• Replace when the roller is damaged, seized, or missing

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply; protect flooring before moving the appliance
• With help, pull the refrigerator forward and safely support it to access the roller
• Remove mounting fasteners, install the new roller, and reuse original hardware
• Confirm level and smooth movement before returning the unit to its location

This AC fan motor drives the cooling fan that moves air through your appliance's heat-exchange coils, helping maintain stable temperatures. Replace a failed motor to restore reliable airflow and reduce noise or inconsistent cooling.

• Powers the fan blade to move air across the coils for efficient heat transfer
• Helps maintain steady compartment temperatures and overall cooling performance
• Common symptoms include: fan not running, weak or no airflow, loud humming/squealing, or intermittent cooling
• Replaces a seized, slow, or burnt-out motor to restore proper circulation

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow moving parts to stop completely
• Access the fan assembly; note wire positions and mounting orientation
• Transfer the fan blade, bracket, and grommets from the old motor if required
• Secure the motor, route wiring as original, ensure the blade spins freely, then restore power and verify operation

This replacement drain tray sits beneath the refrigerator's ice/water dispenser to catch drips and splashes, helping keep the door area clean and dry. It restores a neat, finished look when the original tray is cracked, stained, or missing. What it does:

• Collects drips and minor spills from the dispenser to reduce mess on the door and floor
• Helps prevent water streaks and mineral-stain buildup around the dispenser recess
