All Installation Instructions for LG Refrigerator 72489

Ordering the right parts

I ordered the needed parts, the correct ones I thought, but when they arrived, I realized they were the wrong parts shipped to me. The reason the wrong parts were shipped to me was because PartsSelect failed to advise me there were none of the parts I needed available so they shipped the left hand basket assembly, door, versus the desired right hand basket assembly, door. I then had to return the wrong parts shipped to me, at my cost of ~$25, and await a refund for the wrong parts originally shipped to me. That's how I did the repair.

The door bin cracked and broke.

I just popped out the broken bin and slid the new one into the slots on the door.

The fix was easy. I appreciate the expert advice on which part to purchase, as that was difficult to figure out. I received a prompt response to my question and the replacement part came quickly.

In Door Ice Bin with built-in ice dispenser drive wheel gear broke when dispensing the ice.

I replaced the whole self-contained unit. I removed the old ice bin simply by lifting it out of the door and replacing it with a new one directly under the ice maker. It was a simple fix; no tools or service tech were required.

Old ice tray cracked and wouldn't hold water

Repair was pretty easy but be ready to possibly switch out the wiring harness. The new ice maker had a smaller connector that would not fit the connector built into the door of the fridge. I had to pull the harness from my old ice maker and swap it onto the new maker. After that was done, everything mated up perfectly and worked fine.

replace hand screw

unfortunately my fridge stopped working. I purchased another but wanted to try and repair the old one. when ew one arrived, the old one was supposed to be put in garage but instead was hauled away. Had delivery return next day but they had as already removed and lost the handle screw for the bottom freezer and the screw that holds handle in place. ordered the handle screw and picked up the nut. very simple to install the screw and put handle back on.
