LRFD21855ST (ASTCLGA) LG Refrigerator - Instructions

slightly depressed tabs, lined up to mounting holes, released tabs.

The plastic is real weak and the articulation point is not manufactured strong. You have to put one end in a female receiver and flex the tray cover with your fingers crossed hoping it won't snap, while sliding the other side into a similar female receiver on the other side. The Crisper drawer front has not come in yet. Disappointed that you have to buy the entire drawer with a front instead of the front. This is the 2nd one I have replaced. The difference in the Drawer Front...$10.00 and then entire Front and Drawer, $45 plus...

Simply used a flat head screwdriver to get the first few inches of the gasket out of its track and after that just pulled it by hand. New gasket slipped over the door, lined up the corner and pressed into in the track. Checked to see that it was snug all over and we were done. 5 minutes at the very most. Never would have noticed this. Took all the bins out of the freezer to give it a good cleaning and noticed the torn piece hanging. Our refrigerator runs much less often. Expect to see a difference in our electric bill!

Replacement part from PartSelect was OEM, identical to original part. Installation was very quick. Inserted hinge on left side and then depressed the right side to slip it into place. Presto, it was done. Most impressed with PartSelect on the OEM replacement part and very prompt delivery.

The part labeled as water tank was not pictured on web site, and when it arrived it was a large coil of plastic tubing wire-tied in an oval shape,not a blown p/e tank as original.The oval of tubing would not fit into the door compartment, because of the bulk of the actuating solenoid. No instructions were included. It was necessary to hacksaw the steel solenoid mounting bracket off the solenoid, then contort the solenoid into the compartment to get all parts inside the cover. new connectors had to be purchased, because the the tank/tubing coil was 1/4" od, while the original tank had 5/16"od connections.

The most time-consuming part is unloading the fridge so you can make the repair, and putting it all back in! Plus you clean everything (glass cover, etc) while it's out. The repair itself probably only took 25 minutes at most. You have to unscrew 4 screws to detach the center metal rails, then snap out the rails. Snapping them into the new cover must be done carefully so as not to break off the tabs on the plastic part you're replacing. It requires a little hand strength (I have arthritis in my hands, so my husband did this part). Then put everything back together and restock the fridge.
