The Door Gasket Assembly is an OEM replacement part for LG refrigerators. As a vital component of the refrigerator door, the gasket assembly helps to create an air-tight seal around the door opening. This prevents warm air from entering the interior compartment, maintaining consistent temperatures and preserving food freshness. 

The causes of a bad gasket assembly can include wear and tear over time, damage due to overtightening of the door, or compression of the gasket material from repeated opening and closing of the door. 

Symptoms of a bad gasket assembly include:

• Difficulty closing or improper alignment of the door 
• Warm air leaking into the interior refrigerator sections
• Higher energy costs from the compressor working overtime
• Loss of the "cooler" temperature feel and decreased freshness of foods stored inside

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

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.

• Unusual noises such as buzzing or humming from the motor area
• Evaporator fan not spinning or spinning intermittently
• Increased frost buildup in the freezer

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

The Door Gasket Assembly is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. This part creates a tight seal around the refrigerator door, preventing warm air from entering and cool air from escaping. 

Common causes of a bad gasket include wear and tear over time, damage from frequent door opening and closing, or exposure to temperature fluctuations that cause the material to degrade. 

Symptoms of a bad door gasket assembly include:

• Visible cracks, tears, or deformities in the gasket
• The refrigerator door not closing properly
• Increased condensation or frost buildup inside the refrigerator
• Higher energy bills due to the refrigerator working harder to maintain temperature

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

The push button door switch is an OEM replacement part for LG refrigerators. It activates and deactivates certain functions when the appliance's door is opened or closed.
