This is a replacement mounting bolt used to secure appliance components and assemblies, restoring proper fit and reducing movement that can cause noise or misalignment. Use when a factory fastener is missing or damaged. What it does

• Fastens panels or internal components to maintain correct alignment and structural integrity.
• Prevents vibration-related noise and rubbing by holding parts securely in place.
• Restores secure connections after disassembly for service or repair.
• Helps eliminate intermittent movement that can lead to wear or leaks when a fastener is compromised.

• Use the correct bolt length and thread engagement for the application; do not force a mismatched fastener.
• Tighten to snug, manufacturer-specified torque when available; avoid overtightening to prevent stripping.
• Inspect surrounding parts (washers, nuts, threaded holes) and replace if worn or damaged.
• Disconnect power and follow all safety precautions before servicing the appliance.

The Water Valve Assembly is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It is essential for controlling the flow of water to the ice maker and the water dispenser. This solenoid-operated valve responds to signals from the refrigerator’s electronic control system to accurately manage the release of water, ensuring efficient operation and reliability.

Symptoms of a bad Water Valve Assembly include:

• The ice maker not producing ice or producing very small cubes
• The water dispenser not functioning or dispensing a trickle instead of a steady flow
• Water leaking from the refrigerator

Causes of a bad water valve assembly can stem from mineral deposits that clog the valve, electrical failures that impair the valve’s operation, or wear and tear from normal usage leading to leaks or malfunctions.

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

Note: Flow meter is not needed on all models, remove if necessary. Redesigned single valve replaces older dual solenoid valves. Wiring harness is included. Located behind the refrigerator.

The Run Capacitor is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It is located near the compressor in the appliance's cooling system. It stores electrical energy and provides a boost to the motor during startup, ensuring smooth and efficient operation. The capacitor helps maintain the required power levels, stabilizes voltage, and supports the proper functioning of the compressor.

Causes of a faulty run capacitor can include electrical issues, capacitor aging or degradation, or damage due to power surges. These factors can result in issues such as the compressor not starting, the appliance not cooling properly, or unusual noises coming from the appliance.

Symptoms of a bad run capacitor may include:

• Compressor failing to start or delayed startup
• Inadequate cooling or no cooling at all
• Unusual noises, such as buzzing or clicking sounds

This OEM LG part can also be used on Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

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.

Note: 90 degree elbow coupler (Fits 1/4" diameter tubing on each end) For 5/16" elbow connector, order part# 4932JA3009B.

The Water Line Union is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. This component connects sections of the water line, ensuring a secure and leak-free passage of water to the refrigerator's icemaker and water dispenser. It is an elbow tube union connector, which connects two tubes at a 90-degree angle.

Causes of a bad water line union can include wear and tear from frequent use, damage from high water pressure, or deterioration due to mineral buildup and age. A compromised union can lead to water leaks and disruption in the water supply.

Symptoms of a bad Water Line Union include:

• Water leaks around the connection points
• Reduced water flow to the icemaker or water dispenser
• Puddles or moisture near the refrigerator
• Unusual noises from the water line

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

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. 

This small sleeve fits over the hinge pin to provide a smooth pivot and maintain proper door alignment. Replacing a worn bushing helps eliminate wobble and squeaks so the door opens and closes correctly.

• Supports the hinge pin/shaft to reduce friction and wear
• Helps keep the door aligned and at the correct height at the hinge
• Can resolve door wobble, sagging, squeaking, binding, or rubbing
• Improves smooth opening/closing and reduces play at the hinge

• Disconnect power to the appliance; shut off water supply if applicable
• Support the door before removing hinge fasteners; note the order of spacers/washers
• Replace the bushing on the hinge pin and reassemble in the same stack-up
• Verify door alignment and operation after installation

Located in the left refrigerator door on french door models.

This drain tray catches and channels condensed or drained water away from the appliance base to help prevent leaks and water damage. It replaces a cracked or warped tray so drains flow where they should. What it does:

• Collects condensate or defrost water and routes it toward the appliance drain
• Prevents water pooling under the unit that can cause floor or cabinet damage
• Helps reduce odor and mold risk by keeping water from collecting in the cabinet
• Visible signs a tray may need replacement: cracks, warping, or active leaking beneath the appliance

• Disconnect power and water before servicing the appliance
• Remove any panels or shelves to access the tray; handle sharp sheet-metal edges with care
• Ensure the tray seats correctly and that any drain hose or channel is properly connected and unobstructed
• Follow OEM service instructions for reassembly and test for leaks before returning the appliance to normal use

This refrigerator sheath heater melts frost from the evaporator so air can circulate freely and the unit can cool properly. Replacing a failed heater helps restore even temperatures and reduce frost buildup in the freezer.

• Warms the evaporator coil during defrost cycles to clear ice
• Helps prevent restricted airflow, warm spots, and long run times
• Common failure symptoms include heavy frost on the evaporator, poor cooling, ice buildup on the back panel, or frequent defrost errors
• May cause sizzling sounds or water under the evaporator area during normal operation after replacement

• Unplug the refrigerator before service; defrost any heavy ice to access parts safely
• Access typically from the rear of the freezer compartment behind the evaporator cover
• Handle heater leads and evaporator fins carefully to avoid damage
• Secure all connectors before reassembly
