LG Ice and Freezer Features
What Makes LG Ice Maker Repairs Different
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
- 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
- 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.
