Know Your LG Ice Maker
How LG Ice Makers and Freezers Work
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?
What LG Says to Check First
- 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?
- 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
Testing or Resetting an LG Ice Maker
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.
