GR-L258STKA LG Refrigerator - Instructions

Video makes it look easy. Kenmore refrigerator does not have "groove" along the right hand side of switch that allows for pushing down on release. Used a thin screwdriver to get under to push while holding switch edge with pliers. Kept slipping. Tape sides to avoid scratching inside of refrigerator.

Turn off power, remove upper and lower drawers (may need to open upper refrigerator doors to remove large freezer bin,) remove drawer supports (upper and lower), remove rear freezer panel (trick is to loosen 4 screws on fan bumpout to get the panel to come free from the freezer side wall), test thermistor with multimeter (should have continuity or near zero resistance across 2 orange fuse wires) before cutting zip ties, cut zip ties holding Thermistor in place, remove old Thermistor, install new Thermistor, install new zip ties, replace rear freezer panel, install upper and lower drawer supports, install drawers, turn on power, should be fixed if error code doesn't return after 6 hours.

Examined old ice maker. It is held by some Philips screws. There are many screws you don't need to unscrew so look carefully. Then disconnected th dual in line connector. There is a little push tab to squeeze to release. Then the ground is connected with a screw. It's a little hard to see but unscrew that. My replacement came with no instructions or screws so try not to drop the screws down in the netherlands of the fridge. The hardest part was maneuvering the icemaker to reattach the power and ground. Even with that pretty straight forward replacement.

Took out shelf were the drawer slides are, out of the fridge.
Took a look of broken plastic slides to see how they were mounted before unsnapping them off the shelf, also compared with new slides before continuing. Unsnapped broken plastic slides by pressing the plastic clips off the shelf, pressing with my fingers, no tools used.
Installed new slides the same way old slides were. Slides have a top and bottom, so make sure to compare before unsnapping them off. When aligned, they snap right in.
Installed the shelf back in the fridge with all the items that were on it, then slid the drawer back in and VIOLA! back like new.
VERY EASY, no tools needed for my fridge, not sure for different fridges.

Remove 2 screws and then disconnect wires to the bulb sockets. Reconnect the wires Reinstalled lamp case , tab end first then replaced the 2 screws and the Lens cover. In addition, I changed out the incandescent bulbs to a much cooler LED bulb.

The replacement part came in a timely manner and snapped right into place.

Compress the ends. It snaps in

After watching a few iTunes videos I was able to order the light switch from part select and within a week I had the new switch. I had a little trouble getting the switch out. I used a flat screw driver and taped around the edge to keep from damaging the wall inside. I found the clip on the right side and had to use some force to get it popped out, you may need to use pliers to disconnect the switch.

I replaced solenoid, flapper heated door, and broken spring. Very easy instructions on "YouTube"

Remove the crisper drawer for room to work, locate the two mounting holes at the top, front of the shelf, insert the plastic hinge pin on the outside wall side. Holding the front(cover0 in one hand, reach under the cover with your other hand, grasp the second hinge pin and move it to the insert position. Using your index finger, carefully bend the bracket arm to allow the pin to be inserted.

I followed the directions! It was so easy that I bought another switch for my sister's fridge (same as mine). Her light was out too!

Switched the refrigerator circuit breaker to off. Put tape around the switch to prevent scratches. Wedged the putty knife into the right side of the switch and pried up.the switch and connector popped out. Removed the connector from the old switch and connected it to the socket in the new switch. Stuffed the new switch and connector back into its home. Switched on the circuit breaker. Now we have light in the refrigerator with every opening!

Insert one side and squeeze other side to slip in.

Have had the Sears repairman come to the house to replace this part in 5 minutes for +$100.. twice. When my dad's stopped working, ordered the part and replaced it myself for the cost of the part and shipping.
Use a screw driver to pry the right side of the switch and pull out. Best to watch a youtube video first. Takes about 5 minutes.

pried out old switch, disconnected wires ,placed wires on new switch
