Thanks for the video. I'm not sure I would have had the confidence to take this apart without the video. It took me about 4 hours to complete the job. I made one mistake so a word to anyone else that tries this. Near the end, I tested it before pushing the control panel back into place and everything worked fine. Then I pushed the control panel back into place and nothing worked. Pulled the panel out again and kept staring at it. Finally noticed that the largest connector wasn't totally seated in place. Pushed it the rest of the way in and everything worked fine.
I came across the same issue that the water dispenser failed. Found this video which gave me some clue for doing the job. I used a guitar pick to separate the front panel with the side. Has to be careful for all the tabs around are plastic, unjam the front to get access to the connectors. The rest is straight forward up to video 5:15. There were 2 upward tab locking the plate from behind. Those tabs are quite inaccessible, ended up breaking them as shown in video 6:15. Never mind if you did it, the clip in the front will still hold the front guard in place. The mico switch need to replace if the connections rusted out, or the water ingress to the switch. Usually due to leaking flapper from the ice box or after years of service. The other parts to check if the rocker arm has worn out. The arm was mounted by a steel screw, the bore will enlarge on tear and wear. The loose bore kept the arm from making good strike to the micro switch, this caused a hit and miss when the dispenser flap pushed from the front. No ice or water will be dispensing. Micro switch and arm can be found on most internet parts supplier. I did the job within two hours, breaking 2 tabs but a good saving to call for LG service. BTW I have a Maytag fridge for 20 years but the dispenser never gave any trouble. LG have all the goodies like the inverter drive but the parts are not durable as European brand.
I really appreciate. I fixed it in based on your video,,,,,It took me about 1 hour and half to complete the job. I asked service it cost $350 however I spent purchsing the part $6 only,,,,,
I landed on your page looking for how to disable the extremely annoying door-open beeping. In older models you could just unplug the beeper on the door hinge. However on newer models (mine is a LRMXS2806s) LG uses the blue beeper on the control card seen in your video. Your video gave me the confidence to pop the control panel off. It was still a pain and I cracked one of the back plate anchors (the part you did not remove). After pulling the board I popped the piezo speaker off the board and voila -- no beeps. It is insanity that LG prevents you from disabling the door open alarm or at least increasing the timeout. Thanks for the vid.
Sir, you are doing God's work. I have the same issue and have decided to replace the whole door. I suspect LG has a flaw there and it's only a matter of time before more failures. I'll buy a door and it happens again I'm getting a fridge from someone else. Problem is - they all suck in the long run. 🤦
These are poorly designed. Have the exact same one. Soon after we bought it I had to put a spacer between the ice tray and door to keep it seated. It kept coming unseated then wouldnt dispense ice. Easy fix but it was annoying to have to do that.
I watched a ton of videos and everyone was having trouble. One guy even had a spare door to work on. I definitely think these are made to be put together fast and not taken apart. If you have ever worked on anything you will know what I’m talking about. Thank you so much for the comment.
Just to let everybody know you can push the lock button or open the door to stop the water. Just a quick fix for the moment
Great advice, thank you.

Thank you for the info. They definitely make them to be easy to put together but not to take apart.

Do you have a part no. for that switch?

I just wish they were easier to take apart. Thank you for the comment

Thank you very much
Most relevant video - good job!
Glad it was helpful!
Gonna need a new ui if he’s not careful
Luckily it still works

They don’t make them like they used to
nice job
Thank you! Cheers!
Not stupid design. If ya don`t know what your doing leave it to the pro`s. LMAO

It is indeed a stupid design.
