LG Refrigerator LFX25973 Ice Dispensing Switch Testing and Replacement
Introduction
Use this guide to test and replace the ice dispensing switch on your LG model LFX25973 refrigerator.
The ice dispensing switch causes the ice-making system to feed either cubed or crushed ice through the ice dispensing chute, as well as triggering the ice dispensing door to open.
If the switch malfunctions, the refrigerator will not dispense ice or will dispense a large quantity, likely unwanted.
The most challenging part of the repair is removing the dispenser assembly from the door of the unit.
