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. We flag companies whose listing or website mentions LG and fill in with nearby appliance repair companies so you always have options.
Freezer Repair Near Me is independent and not affiliated with LG. Listed companies are independent technicians who repair LG ice makers and freezers along with other brands.

Know Your LG Ice Maker
How LG Ice Makers and Freezers Work
The ice maker needs the freezer below 19°F to make any ice, and LG recommends -4°F or colder for steady production. Source: LG USA - LG Refrigerator: Why is my refrigerator not making ice?
LG Symptoms and First Checks
- 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?
- 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
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.
