Lfx28978st/01 Lg Parts

The Dispenser Cover is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. This cover protects the dispenser unit, shielding the internal components from spills and debris.

Causes for a bad cover can include cracks or breaks from regular opening and closing of the dispenser over time, damage due to accidental impacts, or staining/warping from repeated exposure to liquid spills.

Symptoms of a bad dispenser cover include:

• Presence of moisture, dirt or food particles within the dispenser assembly
• Interior dispenser components becoming corroded or malfunctioning prematurely
• Difficulty opening and closing the cover smoothly
• External cosmetic defects such as cracks, scratches, stains or discoloration

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