If you need to move your LG fridge to a new location or replace a damaged door, you might have to remove the door with the water line. The water line is a tube that connects the water dispenser and ice maker on the door to the water source behind the fridge. Removing the door with the water line is not a difficult task, but it requires some care and caution. In this blog post, we will show you how to remove LG fridge door with water line, as well as how to reassemble it.
To remove LG fridge door with water line, you need to turn off the water valve, disconnect the water hose, remove the hinge cover, unplug the electrical connectors, and lift off the door. To reassemble it, you need to reverse these steps and make sure everything is aligned and secured.
How to Remove LG Fridge Door With Water Line
Before you start removing the door with the water line, you should unplug your fridge from the power outlet and empty it of any food items. You should also have some tools handy, such as a small flat blade screwdriver, a small Phillips head screwdriver, gloves, a small ladder, and a 10 millimeter socket wrench.
To remove LG fridge door with water line, follow these steps:
- Turn off the water valve that connects to the refrigerator water line. You can find it behind the fridge or under the sink. Dispense any remaining water left in the water line through the dispenser or ice maker.
- Locate the water hose behind the refrigerator. It is a thin plastic tube that runs from the water valve to the bottom of the left door. Press down on the small gray clip on top of the collet and pull apart the water hose. Be careful not to tug or pull on the wire when disconnecting it.
- Using a small ladder or stool, locate the hinge cover on the top left side of the refrigerator. It is a plastic piece that covers the hinge and electrical connectors. Use a small flat blade screwdriver to pry off the hinge cover and set it aside.
- Unplug the electrical connectors that are attached to the hinge. They are color-coded for easy reconnection. Press on the tabs and pull them apart gently.
- Use a 10 millimeter socket wrench to remove the three bolts that hold the hinge in place. Lift off the hinge and set it aside.
- With both hands, grab each end of the inside of the door and lift it up slightly to clear it from the lower hinge pin. Carefully set it aside on a soft surface.
