I need to install a new funnel assembly on my LG Side by side fridge (LRSC-26922TT).
You will need to remove the front display panel to get into the funnel frame. Look at the bottom of the frame and you will see a little slot to slide a screwdriver in. With your screwdriver, insert it into the hole and pry gently. You will hear snaps and cracks as it comes apart. It may sound like the plastic is breaking but that is normal. Once you remove the display panel, you will see the frame and just replace it with the new one.
Thanks to CoolTech I started this fix. I was thinking just the display panel comes out. Actually the whole surround pops out. Once is heard the first "pop" I used a putty knife that was taped up so metal would not tough the outside surface of the refrig.
PULL THE POWER PLUG!!!!!!!
1) There is a disconnect on the back of the display panel. You can set aside the whole thing.
2) two brass screws hold the tray but to pull it out there is another wire disconnect. You will need a smaller phillips head screwdriver to move the lever assembly from the old frame to the new frame. The wires just tuck around the frame. Take some digital pictures before disassembly if needed.
3) reverse to put everything back together. Remember the wire to the display panel has to go throgh the big square hole on the frame.
4) to put the display panel surround back on I starte with the top and just kinda wacked the sides with my fist to "pop" everything back in.
5) Plug back in the power. Voila!!!!!!
Instead of a screwdriver I found if you use tje handy combo bottle opener/paint can opener with a cloth against the door you get a good angle to pop loose the panel
Great advice from everyone!!!! The pictures were a big help!
Same problem with mine. I guess I will try the screwdrive trick and hope I don't break the faceplate.

I am glad to see this post. I just called lg customer service expecting to order a $4.00 plastic funnel replacement (same model). lg changed the design of the entire funnel system. This includes the connector/frame inside the door. I had to buy the frame as well for another $13.00. However, the service call would be another $120.00.
If anyone has info on how to do this, it would be greatful. Thanks!
I had a bit of a challenge getting one of the wire housings apart and I put in the ice chute prior to putting the panel back on, so I had to remove it, put the panel back on then replace it. Good info here though. I would have been afraid to break the faceplate.
Funnel dispensor broke on my LG side by side and they sold me an updated frame and funnel since the design changed. Anyone know how to replace the frame? Thanks
I need to repair a broken funnel assembly on my LG LRSC/26912TT and I have no idea how to get the other one out or open the dispenser on the door up.
My mom is driving me nuts because i cant figure out how to fix the funnel display on our g.e. or even find out how to remove the frame.... any suggestions?
Uggggghhhh - $3 part is now somehow costing $45. How do I replace the funnel assembly? Is there an alternative to prying off the faceplate? That sounds a little risky to me.
