Broken Optibin door on LG refrigerator

read well the instructions in the OWNER'S / USER'S instructions manual and understand it also. thanks .

The ER 1F code usually means that there is a problem with the ice compartment fan, the ice maker motor or one of the control boards (the one for the ice maker or the main control unit). You can try resetting the refrigerator by leaving it unplugged for a day. Next check for ice build up on the fan that is blocking it from turning. Usually, if the fan hasn't been turning, you will have to at minimum replace the motor. It will burn out trying to force the fan to turn.

Sears Parts Direct has a diagram of the LFX23961SW case parts here: http://www.searspartsdirect.com/lg-refrigerator-parts/model-LFX23961SW/3204/0161000/K0810254/00001.html . The fan motor is part 405G.

I hope this helps.

I have the same problem. I bought an lg French door fridge 6 weeks ago. The ice cubes still taste like plastic. I continually empty the ice bin hoping that the next batch of ice will taste normal. Nope.
There is nothing in my freezer with freezer burn. My previous fridge had an ice maker and there was no problem whatsoever. I had copper tubing. When they delivered this fridge which is 3" wider they said I needed to buy a different supply line because the copper didn't allow it to come out far enough from the wall.

Hi,

That is not that hard to fix and you can easily buy the parts yourself online...

Here is a tip that will help you with the online buying...

Open the door and hold the door switch down and try the ice dispenser. Do you hear any thing. Take all the ice out of the bin and try. Anything? Take the bin out and try. Anything? The motor is behind the back cover where the bin sits. See if you get power to it using a voltmeter. If your are, probably bad motor. If not dispenser switch.

you can look to see if something from the freezer dropped into the chute? it may have blocked the exit. Is this all new ice or has it been a while since you used it? Maybe the auger in the bin is stuck?

Your drain tube may be stopped up with ice at the upper end because it drains too slow because it's stopped up at the lower end in the evaporator pan under the unit at the floor. It can get dust and mold in it. Once you get the ice out at the top a little pressure with a turkey baster will usually clear it out. Flushing it out with hot water and clorox may help. Make sure it drains quick enough to prevent refreezing. . The drain should be located below the evaporator coils on the lower back of the freezer.

do not purchase lg refrigerators or products. they are junk!
