LG Refrigerator Freezer Drawer Slide Replacement

Introdução

Use this guide to replace the freezer drawer slides in your LG refrigerator.

This guide will work for most LG refrigerators. This guide is written with an LG model LFX25973 refrigerator. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same.

The drawer slides provide support for the main freezer drawer and also for a secondary drawer mounted in the freezer. The drawer switch for the freezer drawer is also located on the left-hand slide.

The slides themselves are usually trouble-free, but you may need to remove them to access other parts, like the light switch or the evaporator cover.
