    Just spent an hour trying to figure this out and on the verge of giving up and I found your video, thankfully I did, my pump was working and I couldn't figure out why there was no water dispensing. My wife told me to stop and we would call someone out, you sir are a genius, thankyou for this video and I hope you have a really good new year🎉

    Thank Michael. My fridge stopped producing ice, so I looked on LG's website and didn't find much help in solving this problem. I then found your video and bingo, problem solved! Such a simple solution and easy to do. Thank you for making this simple video. Very helpful indeed.

      Hello Graig. Thanks for your comment. That video has had over 40K hits so a lot of people have the same problem. I see you are in the Netherlands. I love your country and for a number of years kept my boat in Bruinesse, Den Helder and Amsterdam. As for the Ice Maker, I have discovered that the problem lies with the unit where the water comes out into the tray. It freezes and I now pour hot water over it.
      Regards Michael

      I think it's the same issue, there seem to be water somewhere on the pipe and it's freezing of ice maker does not produce ice regularly?
      Any solution to this, unless a hairdryer?

    Thanks very much, Michael, for this simple but effective solution. This evening my wife had to suffer a G+T without ice because our LG fridge-freezer had no ice after I had refilled the water tank two days ago. With your advice, it took five minutes to fix. I blew through the pipe going into the tank, replaced the tank, and water flowed a minute later. Like yours, there was nothing wrong with the ice-maker itself, and water flowed into it as normal. Pro-sites stating the most common problems with the ice-maker did not mention an airlock. You are several steps ahead of them!

    this is absolutely brilliant. our icemaker had no water flow to the tray. I thought the pump had gone until I tried this technique. No idea we had that secret reset switch! Pump is definitely working. The tray is filled up with water and I await my ice cubes with anticipation thank you so much for posting this.

    Thank you so much Michael for showing me the hidden reset button! I had already used my hairdryer to help melt the ice that was stuck in a lump and blocking the exit tunnel - but having cleared everything I found the water was not refilling the ice cube tray despite the ice dispenser part revolving and working perfectly. I googled and finally came across your video which showed that truly well hidden reset button. It worked like a dream the very first time! If I may, I'd like to add a suggestion to fellow ice lovers ... if your ice use is more seasonal i.e. loads in the summer months but tapering off in autumn - then consider turning off your ice maker intermittently which should help the unused ice from sticking together into a lump that can then cause a blockage. I meant to follow my own advice but was away for the whole of September and forgot to empty the ice maker and subsequently came back to an iceberg. Huge thanks to Michael for the reset.

    • @michaelchartres
      @michaelchartres  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you so much for your comment Karen. I also switched the ice maker off when a way then I found out that the arm that comes down when you press the button is actually a sensor. If the bucket is full the arm detects it and stops more water coming through. However on this model the water which should have come through freezes and you have the problem to sort again. Regards Michael

The ice maker would randomly stop making ice.. followed your steps except for the water container part and voila!!! Success!! 🎉🎉🎉

    Thanks, Michael, I have always removed the water tank completely to fill, but recently notice Ice production was slowing down, I looked into the top and generally I was only getting 3 ice cubes worth of water, this seems to have fixed this, much appreciated for the video, much better than LG's own offering which on the videos I found did not mention air locks!

  • @littlethumbkin
    @littlethumbkin 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Thanks! Very helpful and wholesome video. I could sadly not get the water flowing again by re-inserting the water tank no matter how many times I tried. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that the tubes that transport the water from the tank to the ice maker run along the bottom of the left door and they're connected by a plastic nozzle. You can disconnect the tubes from the nozzle to let any air (I guess) that's trapped there escape, then with the tubes disconnected, run the pump for a while (put a towel down!). That finally did the trick for me!

      Glad it helped but I have now found an even better way. It appears that the problem is that the water freezes in the unit where the water flows into the tray. So what I do now is pour hot water (nearly boiling) over the unit then press the button and catch the hot water in a bowl. Repeat this until the water flows properly, usually 2-3 times.

    Hi Michael, super video! unfortunately I still cannot dispense water or make ice! everything sounds like it is working, so really trying to confirm an air lock! Any other tips for air locking solution would be great. Looks like we have a similar model albeit a door in door on the fridge side. But the same tank situation

    • @jayfrancis1234
      @jayfrancis1234 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I managed to fix it!! So taking your points around an air lock - mine was a hard water lock, with no water or ice dispensing. I disconnected both pipes at the top back of the fridge freezer. Whilst clicking the flap in (to call for water) I gave the pipes a very hard sudden suck! and all of a sudden at the 2nd attempt I got a mouth full of water!! I then went through and pressed the button for the ice maker. I've been left really disappointed with LG customer service and urge no one to buy this product! The sticker on the water tank says to take it out to fill, yet this can cause water locks?! Personally can't wait to get back to Samsung. Thanks again!

    • @michaelchartres
      @michaelchartres  ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree with you about this particular LG product and the Customer Service. Thanks for the follow up.

  • @blessingessien4588
    @blessingessien4588 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Thank you once again. Will this method work when there’s ice and the water dispenses but the ice stops dispensing?

    • @michaelchartres
      @michaelchartres  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes it will. When the ice bucket is full the arm that swings down touches the ice and stops more water coming through. The the freezing problem starts again. I have a 2nd video I made when I discovered what the real problem is. Cheers Michael

What does the “Express Freeze” option do? Any tips on how to clean the ice dispenser? Thanks in advance.

    Hello.michael. i have got similar (nearly) LG AFF and i forgot to fill the water tank as it was winter and didn't need cold water and ice etc.
    Recently witb this lovely weather we used the readymade ice and came to know about the empty water tank when we ran out of Ice. I filled it with the water, water is coming out fine but wanted to know how long willl it take to see any signs of ice? As a new appliance it produced 1st lot in less than 4 hrs and bucket was full in 8 hrs. Just qorried that we didn't damage the mechanism or so by neglecting it.
    Also where is the filter and how to check/replace those.
    Your this video is amazing and I did perform the reset procedure etc just to make sure. Waiting for your reply Re: filters in these models. Many tahnx :-)

    • @michaelchartres
      @michaelchartres  ปีที่แล้ว

    Samething happened with myself. I worked out that with the dispenser motor, still running it had to be some sort of blockage but couldn't locate it. So, I was on an hour with lg and they said I needed an engineer but I knew it was something I could sort out. And all it took was to hold that button down. Take care Michael.
