What Makes LG Ice Maker Repairs Different
LG's ice makers run at 20 to 120 psi (40 to 120 psi on filtered models); the fill valve relies on pressure to snap shut, so low pressure can let it drip and overfill the tray, while high pressure calls for a regulator. Source: LG USA - LG Refrigerator: Why is the ice tray overfilling with water?
Depending on the model, the ice maker is switched by a power switch on its left side or by an Ice On/Off control on the panel, which may need the control lock released first. Source: LG USA - LG Refrigerator: Why is my refrigerator not making ice?
Common LG Ice Maker and Freezer Problems
- Ice maker not making ice. Lower the freezer setting, confirm the ice maker is switched on and the panel is unlocked, then allow 24 hours. Source: LG USA - If Your LG Refrigerator Is Not Making Ice or Not Making Enough
- Ice maker frozen / ice buildup. Ice forming at the bottom of the freezer points to a blocked drain, so unplug the unit and leave the doors open until all the ice melts, which can take one to three days. Source: LG USA - LG Refrigerator: Troubleshooting Ice Buildup in an LG Refrigerator
The LG Ice Maker Test
On ice makers with a tray, press and hold the test button under the tray for about three seconds (models without a tray use a paper clip through the access hole) until the tray or arms turn, with a towel underneath; a new install allows only one test in the first two hours.

What Dothan Owners Should Know
Most ice maker calls in Dothan come down to the same handful of causes: water supply and pressure, a frozen fill tube, the water inlet valve, freezer temperature and the ice maker assembly itself.
Alabama does not issue a separate appliance repair license, and the state's heating, air conditioning and refrigeration contractor law expressly excludes work on household appliances, residential refrigerators and ice machines.
