Robert A Lone Tree , CO October 03, 2016 The ice maker design was wanting Ice maker in LG fridge has a plastic tray that is twisted to release the ice. The plastic would hold a little twist so when it filled, the water ran out of the low corner down into the ice bucket and froze it into a lump. The replacement ice maker incorporated a design improvement having the edge of the tray higher to prevent water from escaping when it filled, so replacement corrected the problem.
