LDC22720TT (ATICLGG) LG Refrigerator - Instructions

pried out old switch, disconnected wires ,placed wires on new switch

Part Select folks are very professional & courteous. They can only identify the replacement I needed based on data from LG. The data is WRONG. LG should be billed by Parts Select for their valuable time & shipping expenses. What I did was take the old shelf assy with rails & insert 2 each 1/4 - 20 threaded rods into existing holes in the rear of the shelf with nuts & lock washers on the inside & outside of each rail to stabilize it. It facilitated adjustment required to keep the rails parallel so the meat box would be secure. 85 year old guys shouldn't have to do this. LG should do a better job of servicing their product throughout its anticipated life expectancy. They should also send me the proper part.

Pulled fridge away from wall, unplug electrical connection, open fridge door, use knife to prize out door switch, pull off and replace switch from electrical wiring.

Used a screwdriver to remove covers. Used a blow dryer to defrost coil in freezer. Cut zip tie and removed old controller assembly. Inserted new controller assembly and secured with zip tie. It took 24 hours for the fridge to cool completely. Now it works fine.

I had previously watched a YouTube video (do this first!!) on a similar Kenmore model so I knew what to look out for: (1) turned off power, (2) took thin putty knife to slip under outer lip of switch (most screwdrivers are too thick), (3) wiggled switch at front end to release the tab, (4) unplugged from the socket, (5) plugged in new switch, (6) popped new switch back into door, (7) turned on power. Voila !! Super easy. I couldn't believe it.

Very simple
Removed wire rack
Removed 3 phillips head screws, requires large phillips screw driver
Removed old rail guide
Installed new rail guide and screwed back in place
Reinstalled rack

I removed the old water valve, disconnected the water tube going in and tube going out to the back of the refrigerator. New water valve bracket different than the previous one which resulted in my having to modify it to fit. Not an easy task as it was preformed metal. Once hooked up, water turned on, and ice maker turned on, the sound I'm getting now is clunking and not making ice. My debate is whether or not to purchase a new ice maker or revert to the tried and true method with ice trays which work every time.

After noting frost in freezer Right rail started to jam. Noted freezer door was closing crooked. Rail replacement resolved issue. It had been frosting up for some time so Rail must have been broken for a while. Check door seals they were not closing flush.

Removed old rail by unscrewing 3 screws and put new rail on

1. Pull out the old gasket & push in the new one!

2. Pop out the light assembly with a screwdriver, disconnect the wire bracket, (the hardest part so I used pliers to grip the plastic) and connect the new one...pay attention to the direction to put it back in the space and you’re done! IF I CAN DO IT, YOU CAN DO IT! (Also check you tube videos for accurate instructions & correct terminology!!!)

removed 2 screws and replaced them on new part. Very easy.

Pull off the grill cover and remove the 2 screws from the old part and simply screw in the new part. Don’t lose the screws there are no new ones with the new part. Replace cover.

I took a very thin bladed screwdriver and took the old part out -carefully.
The new part fit in quite easily.

Went on line to see how difficult it would be to replace the valve. Through Google there was a video which showed in exact detail how to remove and replace the valve. Then went on line to find the replacement part which was readily available. The only problem was that the connection on the valve where the fill water enters the valve was larger than the old valve. To fix that I went to a local Ace hardware store and found a nut that would fit the valve connection. Also don't forget to use a compression ring to keep the fill line secured when replaced.
Over all it was very simple and was in my "pay grade"

Followed instructions online
