GR-J268LSJV LG Refrigerator - Instructions

I suggest turning off the water valve and power to the refrig before starting work. If this is not done the water dispenser will probably spray water down the front of the refrig. The whole icemaker assembly must be pulled out from the front. It is a friction fit--just insert fingers in the ice chute and pull out. The entire piece will pull out from the door. The control panel cover is held in by 8 screws that extend through the circuit board to the cover. It is a good idea to unplug the wiring to the circuit board when replacing the cover to prevent tension damage to the small guage wires. Once the new control panel cover is attached to the circuit board, the whole assembly can be reinstalled into the door.

Before you begin, I'd recommend unplugging the refrigerator. You have to slip the putty knife in around the edge of the dispenser panel and carefully release the tabs all the way around and the entire panel pulls straight out. There are three wiring harnesses to unplug. You'll have to remove several screws and release the tabs around the electronic panel and remove it from the main panel. It's a good idea to take note or even pictures of how the ice and water actuators are positioned on the panel, so you get them situated properly on the new panel. If the ice actuator is not fit correctly on a knob that sticks up it may dispense ice all the time (happened to me). After you transfer the actuators to the new panel and the ice and water dispensing levers, you can re-attach the electronic panel on the left side. make sure all of the wiring harnesses are plugged in and the wires situated out of the way, then re-install the panel by pushing it straight back in. Plug the refrigerator in and test it out.

I installed the new 3 wire ice maker very easily, but it was defective. I was told that instructions for the return of the defective part would be sent later due to the virus. I have never received the return instruction.
I did receive a credit for the defective part. VERY Satisfied with y’all’s service.
Waiting for return instructions if y’all still want it back.
Thanks,

I actually watched a YouTube video for LG refrigerators. The hardest part was taking the wire harness out. Mine was really stuck in there. But got it, put the new switch in and viola it worked. Yay!

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.

Thanks to videos on You-Tube which showed step by step removal and replacement. It was a simple process. only thing missing on the video was information on the green ground wire.

The repair was an easy replacement. The problem was the LG part was no longer available from LG or any of the other places I tried. The PartSelect customer service representative was a true professional and did an outstanding job of helping find the correct part (LG's diagram was unreadable) and cross-referenced it to find the the part that PartSelect actually had in stock. I had the part in four day. The best customer service I have had in years. I lost his name but the order was 13449146. He deserves a raise!

Followed directions that came with the filter. Did remove the top shelf for easier access. Very simple and quick.

popped out popped right in ran water thru to get out air in line and waalaa it was done

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.

The repair went well. They actually had to replace the motor. This saved me a lot of money having it repaired in this manner. Very professional & pleasant.
