Parts for Lg LFX28968SW01: Ice Maker Parts

The Water Filter is an OEM replacement part for LG refrigerators. It is designed to remove impurities, contaminants, and unwanted particles from the water supply, ensuring that the water dispensed and used for ice making is clean and fresh.

Symptoms of a need to replace the water filter:

• Unpleasant taste or odor in the water or ice
• Decreased water flow from the dispenser
• Discoloration or sediment visible in the dispensed water

Causes of a faulty water filter can include general usage over time, exposure to high levels of contaminants in the water supply, or physical damage or clogging of the filter media.

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore refrigerator models.

The Ice Dispenser Auger Motor is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. This part is designed to drive the auger that moves ice from the ice bin into the dispenser chute. This motor ensures that ice is available on demand through the door dispenser. 

Causes of a bad Ice Dispenser Auger Motor can include electrical issues such as a burnt-out motor, wear and tear on the motor's components over time, or damage from moisture or ice buildup that can affect the motor's functionality. 

Symptoms of a bad Ice Dispenser Auger Motor include:

• The ice dispenser not dispensing ice, even though the ice bin is full.
• A humming or buzzing sound from the motor area without any ice being dispensed, indicating the motor is receiving power but failing to turn the auger.
• Intermittent or inconsistent dispensing of ice, which can suggest a failing motor.

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.
