How LG Ice Makers and Freezers Work
The ice maker needs the freezer below 19°F to make any ice, and LG recommends -4°F or colder for steady production. Source: LG USA - LG Refrigerator: Why is my refrigerator not making ice?
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
