Common failure areas on this model

The confirmed parts above group into a handful of failure areas. Here is what each points to and how to check it before you order anything.

Interior lighting

Symptom: The interior light doesn't turn on when the door opens.

Check: Confirm power is reaching the socket, then check the door-activated light switch before assuming the bulb itself is at fault.

Parts in this group on 79565012402: EAG62831801 (Refrigerator Light Socket), 6621JK2003B (Refrigerator Light Socket).

Storage, trim and cosmetic hardware

Symptom: A cracked shelf, broken door bin, worn hinge, or missing trim piece -- cosmetic and storage wear rather than a functional breakdown.

Check: Match the physical dimensions and mounting tabs of the old part before ordering; these pieces are often model-specific even between visually similar models.

Parts in this group on 79565012402: 4890JL1002M (Refrigerator Glass Shelf), 4984JJ3003A (Refrigerator Door Hinge Bushing).

Door and drum seals

Symptom: A door that won't stay sealed, causing warm spots inside or the compressor running longer than it should.

Check: Close the door on a strip of paper and pull it out; if it slides free with little resistance, the gasket has lost its grip and should be checked against your model's part number.

Parts in this group on 79565012402: 4987JJ1004D (Refrigerator Gasket Assembly).

Cooling system (compressor, condenser, evaporator)

Symptom: The refrigerator or freezer runs warm, the compressor cycles on and off rapidly, or frost builds up heavily inside.

Check: Listen for the compressor and condenser fan actually running, feel the condenser coils for heat, and check the evaporator coil for an ice layer that blocks airflow.

Parts in this group on 79565012402: 6750C0005P (Refrigerator Compressor Overload Protector).

Heat control (thermostats, fuses, heating element)

Symptom: The refrigerator's temperature reads inconsistently, or the compressor and defrost cycle seem out of step with how warm or cold it actually is inside.

Check: A thermistor that has drifted or failed reports the wrong temperature to the control board, so compare the compartment's actual temperature to what the display or dial shows.

Parts in this group on 79565012402: 6500JK1004A (Refrigerator Thermistor).

Door, lid switches and latches

Symptom: A door that doesn't latch or stay closed, letting the interior light stay on or warm air get in.

Check: Check that the latch or catch engages fully when the door swings shut, and look for a cracked or worn strike plate or spring mechanism.

Parts in this group on 79565012402: 6600JB1010A (LG Refrigerator Door Switch).

General hardware and mounting parts

Symptom: A small mechanical or mounting part has failed, cracked, or gone missing.

Check: Compare the physical shape and mounting points to the original piece, and confirm the exact part number against your model plate before ordering.

Parts in this group on 79565012402: 5851JA2007E (Refrigerator Filter Dryer), 6500JK1003A (Refrigerator Sensor).

Before you buy

Match 79565012402 exactly against the model and serial plate on the appliance itself before ordering anything — a single mismatched character can point to a different production run with different parts. Then check the part number printed or stamped on the part you are replacing against the part numbers in the table above; the printed number is the most reliable way to confirm fitment when a model has gone through multiple production runs. RepairKitHub does not sell parts directly — every part link above routes to an Amazon search for that part number so you can compare current listings and sellers yourself.

How to confirm this is your model

On most refrigerators, the model and serial plate sits inside on a side wall or behind the bottom grille. Match every character exactly, including letters and dashes at the end — appliance model numbers often have similar prefixes but different suffixes for different production runs.
