The Door Gasket Assembly is an OEM replacement part for LG refrigerators. This part seals the door and maintains a thermal barrier. Proper compression provides energy efficiency.

Causes of a faulty gasket assembly may involve deterioration as adhesive softens from repeated compression. Mineral deposits accumulated over extended use could also harden material reducing flexibility.

Symptoms of a problematic gasket include:

• Cool air felt leaking from the door
• Moisture visible on seal interface areas
• Temperature fluctuations

This part is also compatible with some Kenmore refrigerator models.

This ice dispenser door assembly opens to release ice and seals the chute when not in use. Replacing a worn flap restores a tight seal to reduce frost buildup and air leaks at the dispenser.

• Seals the ice chute to keep warm air out and cold air in
• Opens during dispensing to allow cubed or crushed ice to pass
• Helps prevent frost/ice accumulation in the chute and around the dispenser
• Common signs of failure: flap won't open/close, visible gap or draft at the chute, frost forming in the dispenser area

• Always disconnect power before servicing the dispenser
• Remove dispenser trim/control panel as directed; disconnect wiring as needed
• Remove mounting screws/clips, swap the assembly in the same orientation, and reuse existing hardware if applicable
• Restore power and test for smooth operation and a proper seal

This rail guide assembly supports and guides a sliding drawer/rack along its track so it opens and closes smoothly. Replacing a worn or broken guide restores proper alignment and motion, helping prevent sticking, jamming, or uneven travel.

• Supports and stabilizes the drawer/rack on its slide rail
• Helps ensure smooth, straight opening and closing
• Can address issues like binding, noise, or misalignment
• Replaces cracked, warped, or broken guide components

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off water before servicing
• Remove the drawer/rack and retain any reusable hardware
• Install the new guide in the same orientation as the original
• Test movement for smooth travel before fully reassembling

This rail guide assembly restores smooth, reliable drawer movement by guiding and supporting the slide rail. Replaces a worn or broken guide so freezer/refrigerator drawers open and close without sticking or falling off track. What it does

• Guides the drawer slide rail and keeps the drawer aligned during operation
• Helps stop drawers from binding, sticking, or coming off the rail
• Reduces scraping, grinding, or noisy sliding caused by damaged guides
• Restores proper drawer support so contents remain stable while opening and closing

• Disconnect power before working inside the appliance and remove food, drawers and shelves that block access.
• Remove the old guide and install the new guide using the original mounting screws; match the correct side/orientation before fastening.
• Use common hand tools; avoid forcing parts—if the rail is bent or damaged, replace the rail as well.

This tray assembly replaces the right-side Fresh Room tray in your refrigerator. It restores sturdy, level storage in the pantry/deli area so items stay organized and the drawer fits and slides as intended. What it does:

• Provides the support surface for the Fresh Room/pantry section
• Seats and aligns the matching drawer/cover for smooth operation
• Replaces cracked, warped, or missing tray to restore proper fit
• Common symptoms: broken tabs, tray won't stay in place, drawer misalignment, unstable or tipping items

• 1 right-side Fresh Room tray assembly

• Empty the compartment; lift and tilt out the damaged tray from its supports
• Inspect side guides/rails; ensure mounting points are intact before installing
• Align the new tray with the right-side guides and slide/press fully into place
• Handle carefully to avoid stressing plastic; wear gloves for protection

This replacement compressor is made by LG. The compressor is the heart of the refrigerator and keeps pressure in the system while also adding the heat required to ensure the refrigerant works properly. This is the hardest-working component in the refrigerator and continually cycles on and off to do its job. That creates a great deal of wear and tear and will eventually cause the compressor to fail.Signs of a failing or failed compressor include hearing it cycle much more often than usual, the refrigerator not being as cold as usually, or the compressor not working at all. Replacing the compressor will require moving any perishables from the refrigerator to a safe, cold space. Unplug the refrigerator and pull it away from the wall. Locate the bottom access panel on the back of the appliance and remove it. The compressor will be located behind it.This compressor is a genuine OEM part and it is sold individually. It is compatible with LG refrigerators.

This guide assembly is a factory-style mounting guide used in TV chassis to position and support internal components, helping maintain correct alignment and stable operation during use and service. What it does:

• Provides a mounting and alignment point for internal TV components to keep assemblies stable
• Helps maintain proper spacing between parts to prevent rubbing, misalignment, or rattling noises
• Can restore correct fit where a damaged or worn guide causes loose panels or shifting components
• Useful when repairing or replacing adjacent parts that rely on the guide for proper positioning

• Guide assembly

• Disconnect power and remove the TV from its wall mount or stand before servicing
• Handle the panel and internal boards carefully to avoid damage; use non-marring tools
• Keep track of all screws and grounding hardware removed during disassembly for reassembly

This dispenser door link connects the dispenser actuator to the refrigerator dispenser door so the door opens and closes smoothly when dispensing. Replaces a worn or broken link to restore proper dispenser door movement. What it does:

• Transfers motion from the dispenser actuator to the dispenser door so the door opens when dispensing
• Keeps the dispenser door aligned for proper sealing and closure
• Can fail if the door won't open, sticks, or the dispenser lever feels loose or disconnected
• Compatible with dispenser assemblies that use a separate plastic/metal link between actuator and door

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work
• Access may require removing the dispenser trim or front housing—keep fasteners organized
• Handle plastic components carefully to avoid cracking; inspect surrounding parts for wear
