I have an LG side by side with a water/ice dispenser on the freezer door. In the dispenser is a flap the size of a small coaster that appears to be on a spring and it seems that the spring has sprung. The flap will not close unless I reach up and do it by hand and I cannot get the dispensing unit apart to get inside and take a look. Anyone know how to get the face off of the dispensing unit and how I may be able to fix this once I do get it apart?
BMiller,
Here are the instructions on servicing the dispenser assembly, from the service manual for your refrigerator.
Just remember to unplug the power cord first,
Take your time, and be cautious with the trim parts, and wiring to the control.
Once you’re dismantled, you’ll be able to determine how to reinstall or replace the tension spring.
The hardest part is getting into the dispenser, the rest of he repair is pretty simple.
Good Luck,
