I have an LG French Door Refrigerator model LRFWS2906S. The light that used to come on, when using the water dispenser, stopped working. All the control panel lights work. Pushing and holding the Light Button turns on the display lights, but not the water dispenser light. I do not see any way to change an led bulb. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Is this a good question?
@meld30599 - were you able to find a solution? I am having the same problem (LRMWS2906) and can't see anything online.
Was this answer helpful?
I asked chat gpt my original question just now and got the responses below. I haven't tried any of the suggestions yet..
"Got it — you're dealing with a common issue in newer LG French Door refrigerators like your model LRFWS2906S, where the water dispenser light stops working, even though the rest of the control panel and display lights are functional.
Here’s what you need to know and some steps to try:
🧠 Quick Diagnosis
Display lights working? ✅ (Yes)
Water dispenser light NOT working? ❌
Light button activates other lights, but not dispenser? ❌
No visible way to change a bulb? ✅
This strongly suggests the issue is either with:
A faulty LED module behind the dispenser (which may not be user-replaceable).
A wiring issue or bad connection from the control board to the light.
Or, in rare cases, a main control board or dispenser board failure related to the LED circuit..." cont in next post...
🔧 Try This First (Safe DIY Steps)
1. Power Reset (Soft Reboot)
Unplug the refrigerator for 5 minutes, then plug it back in.
This resets the control board.
Sometimes the LED light circuit glitches and this clears it.
2. Check Light Button Behavior Again
Press and hold the “Light” button for 3 seconds to toggle modes.
Try pressing it with the door closed and again while pressing the water lever.
3. Inspect for a Hidden LED
Look under the water dispenser spout area for a small clear plastic lens or circle—that’s the embedded LED. It’s usually not a bulb you can change manually.
If it’s dim or out, it’s likely the LED module itself has failed... cont in next post
🛠️ If That Doesn’t Work...
Since there’s no bulb to replace and no user-accessible LED:
Option 1: Call LG Support or a Repair Tech
The LED light is part of a sealed module or is integrated into the dispenser board—which may need replacement.
LG can sometimes guide you through a diagnostic over the phone.
Option 2: Check Warranty
Your model may still be under a limited parts warranty (especially for sealed system or LED lighting). Call LG or check at https://lg.com with your model and serial number.
Option 3: Service Manual (Advanced)
If you’re handy, you could find the service manual online (PDFs exist unofficially), which sometimes show how to remove the front panel and test the LED or replace the dispenser PCB.
🧊 TL;DR:
Try unplugging for 5 minutes and test again.
There’s no replaceable bulb — it’s an LED embedded module.
If the reset doesn’t help, it likely needs repair or replacement of the LED light board (or control board).
Check if it’s under warranty — you might get it fixed free or cheap.
The part number for the dispenser LED light is EAV64632103
How you get to replace it is another matter as I can't find anything on how to do this.
@jayeff that part number you shared is for an internal led strip light.
The dispenser led is on a circuit board assembly which is model # EBR60388516.

Ditto. Light stopped when frig is only 2 years old. Scrappy LG quality ! And my refrigerator model lrsws2806s no longer cools and freezer only half so! Piece of junk!

Mine went out within 2 years of ownership. Thankfully it was covered under the extended warranty. But I did talk to the repair technician and the part that was replaced was the control board assembly (EBR60388516). That part can be had online for about $34. The technician that replaced the board did it in about 10 minutes.
My refrigerator recently stopped cooling and it turned out to be the freezer fan failed. I was out of warranty so I did the job myself and went fairly easy. I replaced the fan motor with one from Amazon model (EAU65058305). Now my refrigerator is cooling again.

@ Porky - did you, by any chance, saw how the technician removed the main board?
by No Name
If I remember correctly he got like a pry tool very thin and popped out the button panel on the front of the door. That gave him sight of the little Control board with the LED built in. He just unplugged it and reinstalled the new one.
