Which LG Ice Maker Do You Have?
LG ice makers come in several designs, including Slim SpacePlus ice system, Craft Ice (round ice spheres), and dual ice makers, and each one fails in its own way. Freezer styles include top-freezer refrigerator, bottom-freezer refrigerator, side-by-side refrigerator, and counter-depth upright (column) freezer.
LG Ice and Freezer Features
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?
Common LG Ice Maker and Freezer Problems
- 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
Before You Call: The LG Reset
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.

Local Notes for Malden
Most ice maker calls in Malden come down to the same handful of causes: water supply and pressure, a frozen fill tube, the water inlet valve, freezer temperature and the ice maker assembly itself.
Massachusetts does not issue a separate appliance repair license; running fuel gas piping to appliances and installing their vent piping is gas fitting work that requires a license from the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters.

In Massachusetts, you can check a license with the Massachusetts Division of Occupational Licensure eLIPSE license verification portal or report a problem to the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, Consumer Advocacy and Response Division.
