Introduction
Use this guide to remove the freezer drawer on your LG refrigerator.
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.
The freezer drawer allows convenient access to the freezer contents and also allows for easy organization.
You will need to remove the freezer drawer to access a number of components in the cooling system. Among them are the evaporator cover, the evaporator fan, the freezer ice maker, the defrost heater and two different thermistors. You may need to remove it to replace the drawer seal as well.
