How LG Ice Makers and Freezers Work
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?
What LG Says to Check First
- Frost buildup in freezer. Confirm the freezer and fridge settings, make sure nothing keeps the door from closing and clean or reseat the door gasket, then watch it for 4 to 6 hours. Source: LG USA - LG Refrigerator: Frost Buildup - Freezer Only
- Ice maker leaking / tray overfilling. Overfilling is usually a water pressure problem, so check pressure at an outside faucet and adjust the supply valve or add a regulator before running the ice maker test. Source: LG USA - LG Refrigerator: Why is the ice tray overfilling with water?
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.
