Doors Online Training Manual for LG Products - Door Gasket      

REMOVAL

17_1 Remove the door frame cover. Starting at the top of the cover and working down, snap the cover out and away from the door.

Remove the gasket bracket clips. There are two clips per door. Start the bracket removal near one of the clips.

17_2 Pull the gasket back to expose the clip and the door frame.

Insert a flat-tipped screwdriver into the seam between the gasket and the door frame and pry back until the clip snaps back.

Continue prying back along the seam until all the clips snap out.

17_3 Pull the gasket free from the channel along the edge of the door. Don’t pull at the corners to avoid tearing the seams.

REPLACEMENT

18_1

Insert the gasket bracket clips beneath the door frame edge.

Turn the upper gasket bracket spring so the spring ends are in the door channel.

Push the clip until you hear it snap securely into place.

Push the remaining clip until you hear it snap securely into place.

Snap the gasket into the door bracket.

DOOR ALIGNMENT


18_4 If the space between the doors is uneven, remove the kick plate and adjust the leveling legs. Turn the legs with a screwdriver or an 11/32” wrench.

Use the small wrench (included with the instruction manual) to adjust the bolt in the door hinge.

DOOR CLOSER

19_1 The refrigerator doors have automatic closing mechanisms built into the hinge. To remove it, remove the two screws on the base plate of the hinge.

(The right hinge is shown; the left is similar.)

19_2 Remove the screw that holds the hinge in the door. If there is grease on it, leave it there. It ia a food-grade grease and non-toxic.

19_3 Pull the hinge mechanism out of the door. Replacement is the opposite of these steps.

PULLOUT FREEZER DOOR

20_1 Open the drawers (one at a time) and remove the bins or baskets. DO NOT REMOVE the center bar. It included refrigerant lines and generally cannot be repaired when damaged.

20_2 Remove the two screws from the guide rails (one from each side.)

20_3 Lift the freezer door up to unhook it from the rail support and remove. Remove the gear from the left side first by releasing the tab behind the gear, place a screwdriver between the gear and the tab and pull up on the gear.

Pull both rails to full extension.

Remove the center rail.

Remove the gear from the right side by following the same steps for the left side.


NOTE!

THIS TAB MUST BE PUSHED IN TO RELEASE THE GEAR.
