- The Icemaker in an LG refrigerator is pretty nice, but sometimes you can run into problems with it. In this video, I am showing you how to do a few things with the LG Ice Maker and hopefully some tips for LG Ice Maker troubleshooting, including taking out the entire LG Ice Maker system.
In this video, we're working on the following things:
How to do an LG Ice Maker Reset
How to Find the LG Ice Maker Water Reservoir
How to Reset the LG Ice Maker
How to Remove the LG Ice Maker

One question I've been getting is "I can test the ice maker and it will dump with ice, but it won't do it automatically, only manually. Why is it doing this?"
The answer: LG refrigerators are designed to only cycle the ice and icemaker if the temperature in the icemaker is at or below 10*F (-12*C). You need to get a thermometer and verify that the icemaker compartment is at or below this temperature. If it is not, then it won't run. This also means a sensor could be bad that'd otherwise register the correct thermometer-verified temperature.
Hope this helps!
Hi Ben,
I have a home sale pending on my ice maker working. I have no issues replacing the ice maker but I am not so sure it is the cause. I have an LG LMX25984ST/00. The water line is working to fill the ice tray and the cubes are freezing, the arm comes out but never dumps the ice and I hear a constant motor running. I took off the cover and reinstalled it so I can watch during a test cycle. I can see the arm coming out and the gears turning, and hear the water filling, etc. I put a temp sensor in the ice bin with remote display and will check temp after a few hours. I ruled out water line issues but not sure if it is a temp sensor issue or the ice maker motor issue. If the temp is the issue, would the motor sound continuously trying to dump ice with the arm out? where is the temp sensor in this refrigerator? I want to check voltages but I don't have a schematic. I would gladly pay a consult fee for your help. I can't believe the sale of my house is dependent on a working ice maker.
TIA
Diana
@@DonofrioPetTV motor shouldn't be turning constantly from my experience. Could be a stuck gear or a wire that's constantly sending voltage. I'd look maybe at the new icemaker
@@bensappliancesandjunk
Here is a link to a video on my google drive showing what happens; you can see the arm out and twitches back and forth:
drive.google.com/file/d/1KUHSnKoRzTg30pPLE8UEEVdjV0aX69-r/view?usp=sharing
After the ice freezes, the arm comes out and the motor sounds as if it's trying to dump ice.
If I power cycle the ice maker, it dumps the ice and refills, freezes but then never dumps the ice until I power cycle again.
I confirmed the temp is
@@DonofrioPetTV My honest opinion is its the icemaker. I'd buy it from somewhere it can be returned if that isn't the issue. I shill for Appliance Parts Pros, but most of them should be able to deliver one pretty fast. If the motor is twitching but not actually cycling during the call for ice, there's gotta be something defective there. I try to watch my comments/info as much as possible, and your issue is the first time I've heard of that, and it does sound like maybe there's a voltage interruption or the motors' going bad causing no automatic run of ice.
@@bensappliancesandjunk interesting. I have ordered from them before and I found the videos very helpful in repairing my dryer. However this icemaker is on back order and I was told it cannot be returned so for those reasons I cant order from them. I need this part very quickly so I need to order directly from the manufacturer thanks again for your help. I greatly appreciate it.
Thanks! I'm a lady landlord, and my tenant called to report that the lce Maker on her LG fridge stopped working. I found your video and used it to help me troubleshoot. You gave me the confidence to try to fix it rather than pay hundreds of dollars to a technician. Turns out that there was some ice stuck under the tray that prevented it from flipping. I melted the ice with my hair dryer and did the reset. I just checked with my tenant again today, and she said the ice maker is still working.
You're video was shorter and 100 times more useful than the official LG channel.
Thank you. My problem was solved by 2:50 (I didn’t even know it had a reset button!). Random guys showing us stuff like this on the internet is a godsend!
Oh he is not random
Thanks for making this easy-to-understand video and for mentioning the test button. I hope this will get the ice maker working again. The icemaker is filling with water but may not be dumping on its own. Remains to be seen. Thanks for your instructions.
Dude... you are my hero! I'm not sure exactly what I did (other than to mimic everything you showed me), but the ice maker is working again. Probably the reset, but how nice to not have to pay someone to do this for me. God bless you!
Brilliant! Running the test cycle made my ice maker work again. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Great video, in the past ice maker stopped producing ice but started a couple days later. It stopped again, checked water supply then saw your video. I didn't know about the test button. Pressed it and it cycled and filled with water. Simple correction but not shown in user's manual. Thanks.
I was getting frost in the freezer (due to seal). I noticed ice build up on both bottom drawers due to the air getting in the freezer therefor stopping the ice maker. Once I chipped at the old frost and allowed it to be "frost fee" again.... I pulled the clear plastic door ice bucket from door and reset the rear test button and now I see water pouring into the ice tray. You are the man....THANK YOU!
Thank you for this! It was exactly what we were looking for and helped solve our icemaker issue. You rock!
Make sure you’re wearing a Slayer shirt while you follow these instructions.
“ Raining Ice”
That shirt is awesome!
I’d trust a dude in a Slayer shirt.
I only trust people who tell me that I need to take apart the “ice making system” of my $2000 refrigerator - IF they’re wearing a Slayer shirt. In a pinch, a Godsmack shirt will suffice, but only in the event of a real emergency
I need to get that shirt!
Thank you so very much. This is exactly what I needed for our brand new LG refrigerator. The ice cube tray was clogged and I had to indeed press that test button to get that tray to dump as it would not dispense ice now works perfectly. Thank you so much!
This is the beat video I have seen explaining the function, testing and explaining how to identify the locations of all its components and their removal and replacement. This is the first video to show the location of the water storage tank. Excellent!
Thanks!
This is a great video and very informative. One question I have is, my LG ice maker does not have an external on/off switch like the one shown here, as well as other LG videos I have seen. How should I proceed?
Excellent video, all the details I was looking for on this setup-
I was expecting the bit of ice cube spillage when I pushed the test button thanks to the helpful caution in the video, but didn't expect the drop of the freshly filled tray of water when I pushed it a second time just to watch it work again. Should have put a cup in the door when I tested it the second time- At least I know there's no problem with the water delivery now..
X2👍😅😅
Thanks a million Ben. You've saved me a lot of bucks by manually re-setting the mechanism and it's producing ice now. We don't know these things unless shown. Cheers. Kelvin.
Thanks! I didn't know why the fridge wasn't dumping ice. We had a power outage-I thought this was the missing link. After watching this video I knew where the reset was located. I reset the ice maker and it dumbed the ice cubes and filled! Let's hope the ice maker will continue producing ice since power is back. Thanks again!
Hey! This is a great video and explanation. I would suggest you mention the top screw and retaining plastic ring when removing the unit. It should be loosened some before sliding whole unit out. And then snugged back up at the end! :)
Odd. I coulda swore I mentioned that during the video, as I know that was one thing I had to do during filming (its mentioned on the icemaker bulletin on the door I mention at the end)
I like the voiceover. Repair videos just seem more professional when there’s a voiceover.
It gives it a really good crisps consistent sound throughout the video.
I need to do voiceovers for my repair videos.
The #1 reason I do it is because I suck at ad-libbing. A long time ago on these videos, I wanted to do a voice-over and screwed up like... 5 takes. Just couldn't do it. Now when I voice-over, I'm reading a script I write. That way I have a better idea of what I want to say, and have to do way ,way less takes to get it right. It sounds better and let's me create the content faster. Doing it real-time for some videos is better and absolutely faster, but when you're doing some difficult things you can't always talk and work at the same time. Also, I run a shop so the number of times I got a worker talking to me while I'm filming is higher than you'd think
Excellent video. Instructive and easy to comprehend. Thank you. Do one on LG water dispenser replacement. The water control button was snapped off. But requires entire assembly replacement because part is non replaceable, because it is 4 plastic prongs built in to the assembly itself.
Ben, i must say, you are very thorough and well detailed, i enjoy and learn a lot from your videos.. kudos !!
Your video was very great and easy to follow. The ice tray won’t even attempt to dump circle when I turned on the power button, worse off the ice maker tray won’t move when I press on the ice maker button. What can I do?
I've never seen such an elegant metal shirt. Slayer! 🤘
I noticed that too fatcat!!! He wants to be formal and metal lol
Thank you! My icemaker was leaking and then stopped making ice. It turns out the air vents were blocked by the plastic from a bag in the fridge, so the water wasn't freezing. Thank you, again. This video was very informative.
Thank you for the video, it has great information, my ice maker wasn’t working, as soon as I reseted, it started to work.
THANK YOU
Hi Ben. I have an LG refrigerator almost identical to the one in your video. Any tips on the freezer drawer's ice maker? I reset the power button and also hit the test button and it functioned fine. But it still isn't producing any ice. Water lines are fine and not plugged.
Ben,
Thanks for a very informative video.
Could I ask you to describe exactly what is supposed to happen when you perform a reset using a paperclip?
For me, the ejection prongs rotate and (would) dump ice, but then nothing.
Is water supposed to flow at some point and, if yes, would that point be after the prongs rotate?
Also, I watched the prongs rotate several times on what I believe was a single press of the test button. How many times are they supposed to rotate per press of the button?
Thanks.
Edit:
I'm going to amend my questions above by stating that the prongs have been rotating for the past 2 hours. That can't be correct. Can the unit get stuck in test mode? (The ice maker is switched OFF on the outside door panel.)
I didn't say it earlier, but I have an LG LFXS29626S refrigerator.
Another question: when you raise the ice-bin-is-full bar, should you hear a switch click? Mine is completely silent.
I have the same issue. Is water supposed to be filling the tray when you push the reset button
Ben you presented everything so well when I compared yours with other videos!!! You were very informative, easy to understand and gave me the information that was needed. I just replaced the LG ice maker assembly and had issues. If others viewers are replacing the Ice maker auger assembly be sure to look to confirm if you have the 3 prong plug and socket connectors or the 10 plug and socket connectors. YOU MUST REMOVE THE assembly to visually make sure with one your LG had installed. The 3 prong plug and socket connectors also has a long green wire to the auger motor as seen on this video. The part on Amazont is AEU73110203 not AEU73110205 (no long green wire. I didn't read carefully enough and added extra time getting the correct part for the repair.After replacing the assembly I had no water till after I watched your video. I push the reset button as suggested and it filled as soon as I had the door closed. I have owned the LG for about 7 years and never knew there was a reset button. Thanks Again, Ray
This person is very easy to understand. He sure helped us and certainly saved us $. Thank you!
Hey Ben, I've got this ice maker and it got intermittent dispensing ice the last 2 days. Now it doesn't dispense ice & the light doesn't light up when I push the ice lever. Any suggestions?
Great video. I'm having an issue with the ice maker leaking upon fill up. When using the test button and watching as the tray fills with water, some water flows between the tray and the plastic that holds the tray in place. Secondly, when the tray has ice in it and then spins to dispense the ice, the ice sometimes does not dump out of the tray and the unit makes a horrible loud pounding sound as if it's stuck. It's not stuck, it rotates but sometimes the ice does not come out. These issues seem tied together. I do notice some ice forms where the overflow happens and perhaps prevents the tray from turning fully. So, the problem seems to emanate from the filling process, as if there's too much water going into the tray. Any ideas on how to regulate this?
Check water pressure going to fridge. If its over-filling, its possible valve (from supply to fridge) is too high. Maybe try lowering/shutting off valve slightly.
I had the same issue . Fixed: the clear plastic cup that guides the water to the tray. cracked mounting tabs on the cup . it was out of alignment preventing the ice tray to dump correctly causing icemaker to Distortion in test mode. I Removed the ice maker and repaired the tabs using scrap plastic. And some clear tape. Replaced the screws ..now ice maker operates smooth in test mode... Thanks Ben for this great video ...
Many thanks - I was not getting water to my ice maker and was convinced that this was an issue with pipes being frozen or that tank in the bottom of the door was being defective. A reset from the reset button triggered the water to be dispensed- just so you know! Its not obvious in any instructions that the water supply will be reset as well. Many thanks - best video out there🎉
Thank you. I just received my fridge yesterday and couldn't get the door ice maker to work. I used the test button and it filled the tray. I'm so glad you made this video.😄
If you just got the refrigerator, it takes a few days to fully cool down the freezer compartment. The cold air from the freezer channels into the icemaker, which freezes ice. If the refrigerator isn't cold enough (under 10*F) it won't trigger automatic cycles yet. So I'd give it a few more days before you get too worried.
This is an excellent video Ben. Thanks for posting it. The issue we are having is, if we don't dispense the ice daily/regularly, the ice in the tray eventually solidfies into a solid block ot two of ice, forcing us to open the ice maker unit and break it down manually, which is messy and not ideal. Is it possible that the warmer air from the fridge is getting into the ice maker compartment and slowly melting the ice into these solid blocks. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Our model is a lfx28968st /04
I have the same problem.
simply bad engineering
Thanks for this video! Question, I've tried power cycling the ice maker, the tray doesn't try to move at all when I turn it on. It also doesn't do anything when I push the test button. Makes me think that maybe the motor is gone. Any tips? I'd really hate to have to buy a new ice maker.
Almost the same issue here, the tray does its little motion when I power cycle it, but holding down the test button doesn't do anything.
Have the same problem. Have not found any solutions
Such an informative video! Hope I can fix my ice makers issue once I go home from work tonight.
Glad I found this video. I took out my icemaker, let sit out for like 2 hours in case something was frozen preventing it from rotating upside right. I cleaned the ice tray and put it back in and it worked.
Ben, Excellent video with super clear illustrations.
I have a LG Frige, model # LMXC23796S. Its water dispensing is fine. Issue is ice dispensing - after pushing the ice plate, no cranking sound, no motor sound and no ice coming out. Yet plenty of ice inside the door bucket. Will I have faulty micro switch or motor or push plate mechanism? Where are they located and how to isolate the problem? Thank ahead
I am having the same problem! Were u able to find a solution?
@@verondaalvarado5812 Yes, mine was the Push bar inside (behind the control plate) plastic mechanism broke which could not properly press on the micro switch. This is because users used too much force banned on the push bar. Unfortunately there is no separate "plastic mechanism" available/sold. I had to buy the entire panel assy to replace the entire assy. I was lucky found a new assy on ebay for $125. Replacing the assy , you can find procedures on youtube and just be very careful to do it. Your case may be different - could be micro switch or cracking motor. If your push plate is loose and too much play side way, then you have plastic mechanism broke inside.
@@verondaalvarado5812 did you fix this issue? Mine is doing the same thing 😬
@@f1176 yes I had to contact LG. They replaced the motor because mine was broken. If it's not humming continuously when you push the dispenser that could be the issue.
Thanks for the great Video Ben! The issue I’m having is that once you depress the release ice panel in front of the fridge it gets locked down and ice just keeps pouring out. Anyone know what the problem could be? Or which piece to replace. Ice making is fine, dispensing (or stopping dispensing) is the problem...
I am having the same issue...
Did it do the same when you select water? Maybe the flapper switch is getting stuck. Can you pull it forward to stop?
Same issue here
I had an issue a few years ago with my LG fridge where after I would dispense ice and take away the cup from the big button that triggers ice to dispense and it would continue dispensing ice as if my cup were still pressed against that dispense button. There were no indications on the front panel that something was locked. Long story short, a technician had to replace the control board and I have never had that issue since *knock on wood*
Sounds like some water dripped down and froze a mechanism that's can't move now. Try taking the whole thing out and cleaning it up. Also try damping down your water flow so it comes in slower.
I have the LG ThinQ. Went out of town and emptied the bucket and shut the ice maker off. Came back and it wouldn't make ice. No water. Hit the reset like you explained and ran a cycle. Came back to life. Thank you
GREAT VIDEO! THANK YOU! I have replaced the ice maker unit before but now I have a no water problem with the ice maker…will check the inlet pump on the bottom of the door.
Great video, thanks! Any idea why the ice maker may not be initiating a dump cycle (ever)? It's making ice, and when I run the manual dump cycle as you show, it does so without any problems--it just won't trigger a dump cycle itself when the ice is complete. I've tried power cycling and unplugging the whole fridge to reset. Thanks!
Same thing happening to me, I haven't found a solution to this issue yet 😓
Me too. I'd love to hear an answer thanks!
me too:(
me too@@BruceFamily1988
Hey Ben. Thanks for the video. We’ve had the same LG refrigerator as you for 6 years and it has had the same problem for the entire time. We’ve had the LG guy out to look at it twice. Each time they replaced something but it does the same. The thing makes ice but the area below the auger and above the drop doors gets clogged with ice. When this happens you can sometimes stick your fingers up through the drop area and jiggle the ice loose but mostly you have to remove the ice maker/auger assembly. This is problematic as the ice mounds up at the bottom of the assembly and blocks it from removing easily. It is guaranteed ice is going all over the floor. You then have to dig the ice out of the hole in the door. This happens usually twice a week (for 6 years). Any suggestions?
I am having the same issue. We’re you able to solve?
@@pamsutton1532 no we haven’t. Strange thing is we left for 10 days a couple of weeks ago. We we returned I figured all the ice would be frozen in one big clump but it worked perfectly. I have no idea. I also contacted LG and they were useless. They offered to send a repair person out that I would have to pay for. Given that two others couldn’t fix it I said no. Good luck and if you figure anything out, please come back and let me know.
ABSOLUTELY THE FINEST APPLIANCE VIDEOS I HAVE EVER WATCHED! THANKS SO MUCH!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! My ice maker stopped working after I turned it and the water off for a week while away on vacation. Nothing I tried worked, but the test button you pointed out at index 146 fixed it! Once again, Thank you!
WARNING. He says to "push" the tab to remove the lower water reservoir cover. DO NOT DO THIS, it will break the tab and you'll need to buy a whole new reservoir cover. Without this tab, the cover will flop open when you open the door, even when the top screw is replaced. I suggest using needle nose plyers and carefully squeeze and twist the tab to work it out of the hole.
Awesome video! I am currently experiencing a different issue then what I see in the comments. When I hit the test button, it will fill the ice tray with water and after freezing the water and making it into ice, it will dump it properly. However, after this happens, it seems as if there is a sensor or something not working because it doesn't put water into the ice tray unless I push the test button. Any help would be much appreciated!
Yes. I am having same issue

Thank you !! Video has helped , didn't know where the reset button was. No water was going to icemaker. After I hit reset, it filled with water. So now I will wait and see !! Great video !!
This was very helpful. My ice tray was not working, even when I pressed the test button. I unscrewed the whole unit and removed it from the door. The wires were frozen at the bottom of the panel. I let it defrost and cleaned it up. Reinstalled it and the the unit worked again.
Do you have a video describing how to test the door display? I replaced the peeling display cover and may have shorted it!
Following. A coupl eof buttons (like the ice plus) aren't responding when pushed.
I dont know if what I saw fixes the problem Im experiences. The noice my LG ice maker/refrigerator is making sounds like someone is knocking to get out of the icebox. What needs to be done?
I'd check to make sure ice tray is working fine, and the motor is working properly. Did it make the noise during test? If so, try to isolate what part's making the noise.
@@bensappliancesandjunk Its making ice.
@@Jeanice68 when you press the test button and it runs the test and process of the ice dump, does it make the noise there?
Thank you for helping me to fix my ice maker problem, just followed everything thing you said in the video.
Thanks so much for sharing how to test and fix my ice maker. You rock!
My ice maker is making ice just fine but when I try to request ice and I push the ice button on the door, there is no sound and no ice falls. I purchased and replaced the whole unit as show. In this video, and still the ice maker continues to make ice but it will not come out through the dispenser. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have the same problem ... Piece of junk. Any luck?

I have tested the ice maker and put in a new water filter. The motor works, but the ice maker is not filling with water. The water dispenser does work though. Any ideas?
did you learn anything? i have same sitch
I have same problem
Thank you. I’m pretty handy but, your quick concise video, didn’t waste my time, and help me troubleshoot the issue.
This is an excellent video and it definitely helped me check into what might be the culprit. I'm sure you're no longer responding to questions, but I'll throw it out there amyway. I'm so frustrated with our LG LMXS28626S. Suddenly stopped making ice yesterday. This model doesn't seem to have an ice tray dump test button, which is a bummer. When I opened the water reservoir at the bottom, the tank is empty. I can still get water out of the door, but not ice. You mentioned the tank area and how to get into it in this video, but I've no idea which of these components might need to be replaced.
Resetting the icemaker fixed the issue. Thanks a million!
LEGEND. Worked like a charm. I just needed to manually run the test.. I guess there was a little extra ice freezing the tray in place. Seems to be ok now. thank you ben! subscribed and liked.
Great video Ben did the reset twice. First try dumped five or so little chips. Second try dumped water. Thanks man Cool shirt!!!
Thank you so much for showing us how to reset the icemaker.
Thank you for such wonderful and simple guidance! Is there a separate fan that blows the air through the door? If so, where is it located, how can I test if it's working, and is it replaceable?
Thank you so much! I found a large chunk of white foam in my ice and couldn't figure out what was going on till I found this video then noticed my temp sensor hanging down. Thank you so much!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video, to be hones my ice makes was not working for a few months now and couldn't figure out why decided to give it a shot and see if there was any vid's on this particular problem and your vid helped out a lot. :)
Best video I've seen on the Ice Maker. Very easy to follow.
Holding the reset button got mine working, thank you!
Thank you! I was able to fix mine with your help. Thank God for your help.
Thanks for the Test Button info. I was able to get my LG door ice maker to dump and re-fill. Time will tell if it returns to normal operation, or i have more troubleshooting ahead.
Excellent guide. Extremely helpful. Many thanks.
Thank you sir! You showed me where the test button was so hopefully I will have ice in a couple hours!
Glad it helped!
Great video and explanation, icemaker is now functioning.
Great Video. Im having problems with my ice maker now. This video helped alot.
Bro you just saved me! new LG Fridge delivered today and I was wondering why the door ice maker wasn’t even filling up with water after several hours. Pushed the test button and it started up. Thank you!
Please read your manual. It will save you a lot of time and frustration, because there's no way it'll tell you that it will fill up after a few hours. It takes quite some time for the unit to fully cool to engage the cycle.
Great video. The problem I'm currently having is everything working but the water isn't freezing and cycling ice. The reset button and test button works as it shows here.
Very helpful I’m glad I found your channel.
Blessings keep up the great content.
Thanks very helpful to find the button below. I noticed that my ice maker didn’t rotate on its own to dump the frozen ice. Water kicked back on and filled the bucket so let’s see if it automatically dumps out the new ice.
Thank you for shown me the button under neat to manually activate ice maker. Thumb up.
Thank you, best tutorial! Made it so easy to test my ice maker
Im going to do the testing you suggested this evening. My ice maker will not dispense the ice. Thank you for your video.
Thank you !! We havr ice again!!!
I dont know what helped but i took all parts apart
Warmed it with the hair dryer, wiped it down and re assembled and now its working again. After one year!!!
Thank you
Great job!
So now second day. The try stopped while turning to dispense and it won’t go back.
@@suhnyoungyoon4546 does the test button do anything when you push it?
@@wingerrrrrrrrr no not anymore. Im thinking the motor is dead
Thanks Ben! My ice maker began to dump ice no stop it will not stop unless I opened the door( ice and water). Thanks to you I did a reset and all is well. Why would the motor jam even in the off position.
Thank you for the video, it's super helpful!
Mad props for the badass Slayer shirt, I immediately knew this would be a helpful video.
Very helpful thank you!
Thank you this was helpful. I did the button test and saw that the rotating ice tray jams on the right side and does it rotate entirely on our BRAND NEW LG FRIDGE. we’ve had it for less than an hour and a half.
Best video ever. Thanks
Hi! Thanks for the helpful video. My icemaker still isn't working. Actually, the tray never even fills with water. I tried doing the reset, I tried replacing the water filter, and I tried taking it apart and putting it back together. But it still doesn't work. Any ideas for what would prevent it from filling the tray with water?
Maybe something with the reservoir? It doesn't look frozen, but I'm not sure, and I'm not sure if there's another problem.
Maybe something with the sensors, so it thinks that it's already full of ice?
Thanks for your help!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your shirt!
Also, your video helped and my ice maker is now working. Thanks!
Glad I could help! Glad you liked the shirt!
Thanks so much Ben, you're video solved my problem! You're the MAN!!!
So glad it helped you!
Thank you for making this video!!! It was extremely helpful!! ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
I would like to thank you very much for this video you saved me hundreds of dollars.
Thanks for the detailed video. What should i do if the ice tray is stuck in a non-horizontal position and the ice test button is not making the ice tray turn.
Wow! Great informative video.
My ice maker tray fills with so much water that the cubes are all one block. Do you have any instructions for this problem? Thanks
My new LG fridge was not filling the ice tray. I pushed the test button, and it filled it up right after it finished the test cycle. Thanks for the video!
Check temperature of ice tray area. It may not be cold enough. It does take a few days for that portion to get cold enough to operate properly.
Thank you Brother helped me cut my time to resolve my issue.
It worked. Thank you for the great explanation.
Great Video. I have an LG LFX28978ST/00. The ice maker stopped working a few days ago. It has ice in the bin but will only dump if I press the test button. Once it rotates and dumps the ice it fills with water as it should but will not rotate and dump when it's frozen.
Excellent info and i have to say that shirt is badass!!🤘🏻SLAYER!🤘🏻
Thanks for the video. Do you know how to remove the exterior portion of the ice maker. The dispenser tab broke and it's constantly try to dispenser ice. Thanks
Thanks you really explained it very good keep up helping people
