The old ice maker had cracked and broken, and would no longer make ice.
Six screws to remove the old one (I looked up the process on Youtube) and six screws had it back in tip top shape.
Three wire connections, two were plug in and one was a ground wire.
BTW: It was a 3 wire, not a 6 wire. I had ordered that by mistake and PartSelect made the return and replacement very easy.

Refrigerator light had a short in it and would randomly work
Unplugged the fridge. Used a screwdriver to loosen the switch. Easy to disconnect from fridge and just plugged the new switch in. Popped right back into the side of the fridge and worked perfectly.

Valve assembly leaked
The assembly sent is different than what is on the unit. The connectors do not match. We called and it seems you don’t have the correct part. The only part we have found will only connect the ice maker or the water. It will be a shame if I have to buy a new refrigerator.

Unit kept beeping as if the freezer door was open
I popped the old switch out of place and then disconnected the wire harness from the switch with a pair of needle nose pliers. I then inserted the harness into the new switch and popped the switch into place. Super easy and fast.

plastic tube leaking at connector
Uncoupled the old connector, replaced with new connector and attached supply line. Repair easy with right part, prior to ordering the right part I had tried a compression fitting and it still leaked. U-tube and others demonstrating repair assured me I was on the right path.

Frost in the freezer. Icemaker frozen.
I called LG and followed the instructions given over the phone. The instructions couldn't have been simpler. Disconnect the appliance for several hours and then connect again. I disconnected the appliance overnight, cleaned out the freezer, and reconnected it. Problem solved. Did not need to call a repairman and did not use the clips.

2 of our refrigerator door baskets had cracked due to some rough usage.
We ordered the parts which were relatively easy to identify from the diagrams on the website. They are perfect replacements that just slid into place.

Ice Maker quit working
Removed 4 Stainless steel screw holding mounting assembly containing ice maker and motor. Unplug large plug from refrigerator inside wall and removed assembly. Closed refrigerator and lay asembly on flat surface. Removed ice maker plug from wire harness. Unscrewed ice maker mounting screws from mounting assembly. Reversed process to install new icemaker. Be sure to turn ice maker plug assembly to fit in holder on back of assembly and tape back in mounting assembly so assembly wil go all the way back in the door without forcing. If done properly, the ice bucket will slide in easily and the door to ice maker compartment will close easily without any problems.
