How LG Ice Makers and Freezers Work
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
LG Symptoms and First Checks
- 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
- 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
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.

Texas has no separate appliance repair license; under the Plumbing License Law, appliance dealers and their employees may install and service appliances (other than water heaters) without a plumbing license when hooking up to existing openings with a code-approved appliance connector, while other gas or water piping work generally requires a plumbing license. Source: Plumbing License Law, Tex. Occ. Code ch. 1301, §1301.053 (Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners)
In Texas, you can check a license with the Texas plumbing Public License Search or report a problem to the Texas Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
