What an LG Technician Deals With
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?
Some models flag a water flow sensor fault as gF, which LG says requires service. 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
Testing or Resetting an LG Ice Maker
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.
