The lights wouldn't always come on.
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!

Spring on door Mullion broke
Watched a YouTube video on how to replace the door flipper (mullion). Very easy to unscrew the plate and disconnect the electrical circuit. Then gently slide up the flipper and replace with a new one.

Door gasket tore.
With a small flat blade screw driver, gently pry the corner of the gasket from the door.
Pull it loose across the top, then down the sides.
Wipe the gasket track clean with a damp cloth.
Start installing the new gasket at one of the top corners. Then the other top corner. Press the gasket into the track between the top corners.
Next do the bottom corners. Pressing the bottom between the corners.
Then press in each side.
Elapsed time: 3-5 minutes.

Broken Flapper Spring on Door
Initially the wrong spring was sent. The coiled spring must have COUNTERCLOCKWISE wind for this refrigerator door. A spring with a clockwise wind was initially sent. Partselect very promptly and efficiently corrected the problem at their expense. For this reason I give them a strong recommendation.

Broken left sided attachment clasp/arm
The replacement basket for the left swing door went extremely smooth. The part was an exact fit and just required a little pressure while attaching the new replacement part.
highly recommend part select in doing a replacement for this part.
The schematic for the refrigerator is blurry and difficult to see on-line, so one a representative from parts select assisted me in finding the correct part.
two thumbs up!

I actually took a picture of the correct spring installation at a big box store that carried LG. I had called LG, but they said they didn't have any installation brochures, and to call a registered LG repairman. That was out of the question, since the repairman would charge $100 just to show up.
I looked at the picture I took. Used needle nose pliers and inserted one end. Unless the lady of the house is very strong, this should be handled by a man, because of the rigid spring. Once the spring was inserted into one side of the flap, I used the pliers to get the other end into the proper slot. Very easy, but the spring is very strong !!

This is the second time they have mailed me the wrong spring. I talked to someone the last time and explained everything About my refrigerator. I had a Repair man come and try to put this part on my refrigerator this time and he told me that this spring is not for this side of my door. The first tim
Expensive to have repair man come out and find out that I’ve been mailed wrong spring again. My icemaker is on the left hand side this is the side of refrigerator- I need the spring for left side with the ice maker. Twice they have mailed me the Wrong spring that goes on the right hand side I have tried to explain this to the person that waits on me. Do I have to pay for another spring and mail this one back ?i have mailed one back and postage is getting expensive.
