GRF258JSTA (ASTCLGA) LG Refrigerator - Instructions

Changed door switch. Repair worked for a few days but re-occured. Possibly the other switch is bad .

Tape off the light button so door alarm does not go off. Take off the clear light shield and remove the light bulbs. Be careful, bulbs may still be HOT!! With Phillips head screw driver unscrew the light plate assy. Drop it down in a comfortable position. Disconnect the connector, unscrew the thermal sensor and remove light assy. Install new light assy into light plate assy. There is no thermal senor in the new assy. Snap light plate assy back into place and install the two screws previously taken out. Install bulbs and clear cover. Remove tape from light door switches and you are done. Lights should go on and off when door buttons are pushed in and out.

I removed the old shelf and disassembled all the parts, removing glass shelf, bins, doors, etc. for use with the new shelf frame. Unfortunately, I hadn't been able to find all the roller assemblies from the original shelf and didn't realize that they were not considered part of the shelf frame. So, after reassembling all the pieces that I had, I still needed to order one additional roller assembly and specialty screw. Knowing this up front would have saved me a nice chunk of time and additional shipping charges. Otherwise, the repair was pretty straightforward.

Removed two drawers and drawer covers, glass shelf and door frame. Replaced in reverse order.

The online list of parts for this appliance was printed very small and was very intimidatingly busy. Calling the Help Center proved to be our saving grace!! The woman at the Help Center was awesome. Together, we figured what pieces I needed and they arrived within 36 hours; I was extremely impressed. The replacement parts did not include the accessories but we had the needed rollers and metal support bar from the original pieces and installed them readily on the new pieces. All went well and we are happy to have a functioning shelf and vegetable drawers again. I cannot stress enough how content we are and how thrilled I am with the personal service I received on the telephone.

At first, ordered only a latch only to discover the mounting strip had instead failed. Ordering parts wasn't difficult although the parts catalog graphic leaves a lot to desire. Once I figured out how to remove the strip (had to remove the seal first and no instructions existed), it was easy to snap out the old and snap in the new part. This sure beat the cost of paying a repairman. However I fear than most homeowners that aren't mechanically inclined wouldnt have been successful because of no instructions and the parts catalog that had poor detail and a very small size.

Replaces door switches - removed screw from door hinge cover, lifted cover and removed switch. Plugged in new switch and reversed process. Removed screws from light bracket. Attached new frame to slots in roof and used screws to attach. Clipped on light cover.
