BEWARE: There are two versions of this part for this similar model fridge, the plugs are different on each, so make sure you have the right part number.I've had this in my wish list for a while and kept putting off the purchase. I guess that was a good thing because the price came down and Amazon (as usual) was absolutely the lowest price I could find on this part.First, I should say at the time I bought it, the part number in the listing title, and the photos were correct, but the bullet points were talking about some other part/number. I decided to take a shot on it that someone just made a mistake in the listing details, and knowing being Amazon I could easily return it. But I got the right part for the listing title. I reported that so they can fix it. Just wanted to not that in case they haven't fixed it when you are looking at it.The part itself: I'm certain this is a genuine LG part. I inspected it and compared it extensively to the one I took out, and if it's not genuine they did one heck of a job copying it. I'm happy with it, it fits, it works and I have ice again! I guess we'll see how it does over time. Very hard water where I live (I thought the water for the ice maker runs through the filter but maybe not? mine had buildup in the tray), and the other one lasted quite a few years. If I get as long out of this one I'll be happy.Don't be intimidated on replacing this yourself. It's pretty easy if you are handy with a phillips head screwdriver. Literally the only tool you need. You don't even have to unplug the fridge to replace it. There are videos on YouTube you can watch exactly how to take it apart but there is really nothing to it. A few screws, a plug, take your time, don't force anything, and it's out!If you're wondering if your old one needs replacing, mine got to where when it cycled to twist and flex the ice tray to dislodge the ice, it would get stuck and make a loud popping sound for quite some time before it gave up, and the ice never let go. Found a heck of a lot of mineral buildup in the trays that I couldn't get out even with CLR.
