How LG Ice Makers and Freezers Work
Ice that builds up at the bottom of the freezer usually means a blocked freezer drain, so defrost water refreezes instead of reaching the drain tray. Source: LG USA - LG Refrigerator: Troubleshooting Ice Buildup in an LG Refrigerator
Some models flag a water flow sensor fault as gF, which LG says requires service. Source: LG USA - LG Refrigerator: Why is the ice tray overfilling with water?
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
- Water or ice at the bottom of the freezer. Defrost water may be bypassing the drain tray, so unplug the unit, leave the doors open until all ice melts, then restart it. Source: LG USA - LG Refrigerator Troubleshooting: Leaking Inside My 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.

In Idaho, you can check a license with the Idaho DOPL Search for a License or Registration or report a problem to the Idaho Attorney General Consumer Protection Division.
