An LG ice maker shares its basic needs with every other ice maker, cold air, water and a working mechanism, but where it sits, how it is reset and the codes it shows are specific to the brand and model. The New Providence list starts with companies that name LG, followed by other appliance repair companies that work on ice makers and freezers.

What Makes LG Ice Maker Repairs Different
Depending on the model, the ice maker is switched by a power switch on its left side or by an Ice On/Off control on the panel, which may need the control lock released first. Source: LG USA - LG Refrigerator: Why is my refrigerator not making ice?
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
- 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

What New Providence Owners Should Know
Most ice maker calls in New Providence 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.
