    Thank you for this video! I had the exact problem once I opened up the dispenser. Your video was so helpful in showing your solution which I used too. It’s literally 10 cents to replace the 1/2 inch screw with a 1 inch screw and that would have likely prevented the part failure in the first place. Thanks again for taking time to video this and to share it!

    I can't wait to try this. My LG is 12 years old. The ice dispenser still works perfectly but the light stopped working. And when I shined a light up inside the chute, I was shocked to see all of the mildew. These disassembly instructions will help me to access the flap and other interior parts to clean them. I cannot understand how LG could make a product that cannot be easily cleaned. Do you have any tips of how to repair light that is supposed to come on when dispensing ice ?

    I am very handy and like to do all of my repairs. But honestly, I had no idea how to tear into this icemaker. Outstanding video made it absolutely easy for me to fix the repair. Mine was broken the same as the video so all I had to do was clean everything up and go to the store and buy the same screws that you displayed. Thank you very very much for making my life easier. Great video.

    Greatly appreciate the repair video. Adding that I found that a plastic trim removal tool to be the easiest approach to popping out the 12V socket and aux port housings without scratching up the dashboard. I just used one from a cheap Harbor Freight set. The corner of a thin putty knife also works great for removing the circuit board from the housing.

They don't seem to affect the function of either the ice or water dispensers, & I can't see them on any of the online schematics. Anyone know where they might go?
