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?
What LG Says to Check First
- 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
- 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?
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.
