What Makes LG Ice Maker Repairs Different
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?
Ice that builds up at the bottom of the freezer usually means a blocked freezer drain, so defrost water refreezes instead of reaching the drain tray. Source: LG USA - LG Refrigerator: Troubleshooting Ice Buildup in an LG Refrigerator
What LG Says to Check First
- 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

Before You Call: The LG Reset
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.
