Lg AEQ72909603 Ice Maker Assembly OEM Part

Ice sensing lever (keyed onto mtr shaft) found down and would not budge. Also, test button (hidden beneath mtr) only 'beeped' when pushed. The 10 pin connector's 'clip' is also hidden against roof of freezer - mine broke but connection still seems secure. New unit was exact fit - test button (now) cycles thru one cycle of rotation and H2O fill with no beeps.... 18 hrs later, bin is half full....ice for the summer :) Remove freezer door (front) so you can lay down and look up. Cold plastic was worrisome but fit was exact - no issues except connector.

Started by removing both drawers,, Then crawled under draw to get to the part, removed the two front screws, put a small flat blade screwdriver to release the two side clips, once that was done you had two un clip the small wire harnis on the top, and than gently slide the old unit out, took about 5 minutes! than just repeating the process back words took another 5 minutes very simple job! Just by looking at the new part you will see what you have to do!

The hardest part of the repair was figuring out what to replace. After seeing pictures of the ice maker in place, I could tell the sensor arm was broken because it was hanging down. Once I received the replacement unit, it was two screws, one connector, and the ice starting working again

The hardest part was deciding to drop $200 for basically the icemaker. My ice maker had become "etched" with minerals and whatnot from the water resulting in the ice not fully dumping which caused water to spill over into the bin creating one huge ice block. Replaced the entire unit, 2 Philips screws, unplugged the power/data connection, and swapped. Couldn't have been easier. Now our ice maker works again!!!

Installed a new water valve assembly and a new ice maker assembly.
