Introduction

Use this guide to replace the refrigerator compartment light in an LG Refrigerator. The process involves removing the light unit, disconnecting it, and installing a new one. This guide is for LED based units.

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.

Tools

Step 1

Unplug your refrigerator before you begin your repair.
If you are testing or repairing the following items, you may also need to shut off and disconnect the water supply:
Condenser fan motor
Compressor motor and thermal overload device
Water supply valve assembly

Step 2

Open both refrigerator doors fully.

Step 3

Lift up the front edge of the shelf to release it.
Unhook the shelf and remove it.
Repeat the last two steps for each shelf you wish to remove.

Step 4

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws that secure the light unit.

Step 5

With both hands, pull down the front edge of the light unit until it pops free.
Don't try to fully remove the light unit yet, as it is still connected to the refrigerator by some wires.
