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
Common LG Ice Maker and Freezer Problems
- Craft Ice maker leaking. Partially close the supply valve, lower the freezer to 0°F or colder and check that the door gasket seals, since high pressure or warm air can cause it. 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.
