How To:
- Remove crisper drawers
- Place both hands under glass and lift upwards equally
- It will pop up so then ease it out towards you from the back corner slots (try gentle wiggling)
- Pull up at an angle to get out of fridge
- Clean but DO NOT run cold glass under warm water!!
- Wipe plastic clean
- Dry all areas and wait a little until it’s dry before replacing
- Put glass into the little slots in the back and slide backwards
- Ease the front glass into place (mine was very a tight fit and needed more firm pressure)
- Replace drawers!
The long piece of glass above the crisper drawers had all this gunk underneath so I went to try to remove and clean it, but it’s glass and I was afraid to break any part of the fridge. The glass would not lift easily, and I wasn’t sure if it was just sitting or held on by anything else. After much online searching with unsatisfactory results (mostly Samsung vids) I decided to try again and lo and behold: a little bit more pressure did the trick!
The gunk was so sticky that it acted like glue. The 30in LG French-door has little notches in the back corners that hold it in place.
I wriggled it free because it is nice and snug in there, still hyper aware that this is glass. Then pulled out and up. Thank goodness I’d seen the LG caveat about cold glass under warm water because I would definitely have cracked it. Then it was cleaning and drying because water bonds.
When it was time to replace it, I just did it backwards, wiggled it back into the notches. Then I came upon my last hurdle:
One corner fit flush, but the other…
…didn’t. Some pushing, shoving, wriggling resulted in nothing, so I made sure it was as far back as possible and put firm but careful pressure downwards in the corner. *POP* right into place. LG really doesn’t want that glass moving around, that’s for sure! There is a lip that holds the glass in place.
