LG Ice and Freezer Features
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?
LG Symptoms and First Checks
- 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
- 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.
