How to Troubleshoot & Replace Lg AP5675953 / AEQ73110205 Icemaker (14 Cube)

I went on-line to Applianceparts pro, entered the model number of our refrigerator then selected the ice maker part. I ordered it on Tuesday, it arrived on Thursday. I removed the old ice maker, installed the new ice maker, pushed the on button then the reset button and we had a working ice maker. It took me less than 30 minutes just using a Philips head screw driver. We had an estimate from a repair service of $380 and a seven day wait for the part and installation. With today's labor and trip charges becoming more expensive, I will look carefully at repairing our appliances myself. 

It was a little tricky to figure out how to remove the defective Ice Maker/Ice Dispenser assembly from the compartment (Seven philips head screws had to be removed), and to fish both wiring harness connectors through the small opening in the ice dispenser portion. Once that was accomplished I just had to re-thread the two connectors in reverse back through the small opening in the dispenser portion and reconnect the small connector. It was also a little tricky to put the assembly back into the Ice Maker/Ice Dispenser compartment, as you have to be very careful to position the assembly correctly under the water inlet spout and also not to pinch any wires. The time to do the replacement was about 45 minutes. 

I ordered this replacement for our LG Refrigerator. The new ice maker came with several improvements from my original, such as the way the wires are routed for the thermocouple reading the temperature of the ice in the tray to dump the ice. The installation went very easy. I do recommend removing the existing first to make sure that you order the correct ice machine with the correct number of wires. On the installation, I had to tape the wires to the back of the ice maker on installation to keep them in place, so that the ice maker would go into place correctly. 

Replaced it with another unit bought from Appliancepartspros.com. It took about 15 minutes.

Looked online for repair parts I used appliance parts pros before so I looked up the part in the manuals that they supply on line and ordered the proper parts. Not a hard fix I removed the old unit this one came in two days replaced it and it has been working great since. 

Ordered equivalent AEQ73110205, removed 7 screws and 2 electrical headers, replaced, tested. Test button now works, ice maker cycles properly. 

Replacing ice maker didn't solve problem after more testing replaced ice fan which solved problem,making ice like new Lg model LFX 31925ST/00 

Replaced the ice maker. However this particular ice maker was not as easy as most to replace. The mnfg tapes the lead wires behind the plastic mounting plate requiring not only the removal of the ice maker but also the plastic wall insert the unit is mounted to. You must also pay attention to the removal release of the wire connector attachment located on the front of the connector not on the sides as it appears to be on a visual of the connected unit. In summary due to short lead connectors you have no choice but to remove the plastic wall panel behind the ice maker in order to install this unit. I found it easier to then install the ice unit on the plastic wall panel table top then simply insert the 2nd large connector to the fridge door and reinstall the panel. 15 minutes to complete this install, which usually is a 4 minute ordeal on most units.
