This ice maker was a problem from the get go. When we got it...the door would close about 80% of the time. Now that we have had it for about 2 years. It will not close 100% of the time.

Older LG refrigerators (Serial Number Needed) with the icemaker-in-the-door required much more effort to *lock* the icemaker compartment door. Newer models take less effort. On the older versions---try holding the left side door with the left hand---and pressing the icemaker door (at or near the latch) until it "clicks". This tightly seals the icemaker chamber to allow the temperature to remain below freezing for icemaker function. UPDATE (09-07-10): Disregard this post---this information applies to 3 & 4 door model LG refrigerators NOT side-by-side models. Last edited on Tue Sep 7th, 2010 10:41 pm by john63 |

The door is not closing. I did what you said push it back to see if it will click. I found out that the door is bad. The rubber part that is supposed to seal the thing shut and keep warm air from going back in has separated into two pieces. air bubble in the middle preventing the door from closing. Question is...how tough is it to replace that trap door? Also, whats the part# Thanks Last edited on Tue Sep 7th, 2010 05:00 am by etang |

I'm not having success entering that model number for parts. This may be an omission on the LG site or an invalid model number (this not a Canadian model correct?) Contacting LG for information is the next step.

Tried the website...Also called Sears... They want to send out a tech to replace a part that is not on the list. I asked them what happens if they can't fix it...since the part I need is not on the list... No answer... I've only had the frig for less then 2 years. So, going by this timeline. I will need a few of these doors to last 10 years.

Not your model but similar... Can you identify your part here? http://www.lg.com/us/appliances/refrigerators/LG-side-by-side-refrigerator-LRSC26923TT.jsp

Try this one... http://www.lg.com/us/appliances/refrigerators/index.jsp Its the door/trap that opens when you push for ice and it flips open and the ice falls through. Thats the part...If I can't get that part...Do you think replacing it with a new return spring would help the door close? Its a $2 part...Not sure how long it would take to replace it. Could an amateur replace the spring before all the food spoils in the freezer?

SOLENOID p/n: 6421JB2002D DUCT (flap) p/n: ABN55757903 (if needed) Both parts are installed from the outside of the freezer door by removing the DISPENSER HOUSING cover.

Dumb question...the SOLENOID...is it for opening or closing the door or both? It opens fine...it just won't close. Wondering if I need the Solenoid.

Good question. May not need the SOLENOID if the DUCT / FLAP is deformed or damaged---on occassion we'll see a corroded / rusty solenoid. The *piston* that slides in & out of the solenoid (magnet) may be jammed or sticking.
