Gerald August 09, 2014 for Model Number LFX23961ST I have an LG Refrigerator LFX23961ST. The ice maker works well and has only frozen up on me once. The problem I have is, the flapper door does not close after dispensing ice about half the time. This allows the cold air from inside the ice maker to escape. It will snap closed if given a little nudge with a finger. Is this something which needs to be lubricated / adjusted or is there another fix for this problem?
1 Answer Hello Gerald. It sounds like the solenoid 6421JB2002R is bad and will need to be replaced. Read More...
Kay June 30, 2014 for Model Number LFX2590TT The feeler arm on my ice maker in my LG French door unit stays up and will not go down. The tray is filling with water and makes ice but the feeler arm has it shut off to drop the ice and produce more. Shut on/off, still same result. Tried to manually push the feeler arm down but it will not stay down. Is there a button or way to reset this?
1 Answer Hello Kay. No, based on the information you provided, it sounds like the icemaker is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Gail, This is most likely an icemaker mold heater issue. Without the model number I cannot verify the part number but replacing the icemaker will correct this issue. Read More...

Kay R March 07, 2014 for Model Number LG Top Freezer Refrigerator Model LTC22350 Our refrigerator is less than 3 years old. Since we were moving it to install new cabinets and countertops, we had a new valve (Oatey water hammer arrester valve) installed. After we moved it back into place and turned it back on, water filled the ice bin and kept flowing. We noticed it when it started coming down the door. It's seems too coincidental for the ice machine to break just at this moment. Your thoughts?
1 Answer Kay, It sounds like either the icemaker assembly has hung up during the fill or the more likely issue would be the water valve stuck open and allowed this issue to occur. Read More...
Doug January 25, 2014 for Model Number LFX25980ST Ice maker gets cold. Makes ice and will dump it if I manually fill it up. Once in a while it will make it on its own but the ice cubes are small. Unit has new water inlet valve ,filter ,tubing (tubing in back had to be replaced from the filter housing to the water inlet valve) . What could be causing the maker not to fill up. I would here it click to engage the fill but no water goes into the maker and there is no water leak on the floor or in the fridge.
1 Answer Hello Doug. You need to check and see if the fill tube is froze for the icemaker. If so, it will prevent the unit from filling with water. Read More...
Dj January 02, 2014 for Model Number LG LFX 25975ST03 Ice maker is not making ice. Water dispenser works fine. Have toggled the ON/OFF switch and unplugged the fridge but still no ice. A faint sound like the motor is rotating is constantly heard. Poured water into cube tray but did not freeze when left overnight. Also is there a separate ice fan on this unit?
1 Answer Hello DJ. Make sure the freezer is between 0° and 5°. You need to check and see if there is power going to the water valve when the icemaker cycles. If so, replace the water valve on the unit. If not, or the icemaker does not cycle, you will need to replace the icemaker on the unit. Also, check and make sure the fill tube on the unit is not frozen and clogged. If so, replace the water valve and thaw out the fill tube. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Betty Z December 25, 2013 for Model Number GR L227STG Side by side fridge freezer with ice and water dispenser in the door Our ice maker makes ice but will not drop the ice into the glass when you push the panel for ice. It crushes the ice even when on full block. this ice stays crushed and stuck in drop cavity
1 Answer Hello Betty. If the auger motor runs and the ice crushes and comes into the chute, but does not come out, it sounds like the solenoid for the flapper is bad and is not opening the flapper on the unit. Check and see if the solenoid is bad and if so, replace the solenoid on the unit. Read More...
Ian December 21, 2013 for Model Number LMX25964ST AS Ice maker is not making ice. The water dispenser has water but the icemaker never gets water. When I manually fill the icemaker it seems to work. I am not sure how to clear/thaw the water tube and where is the water valve for the icemaker?
Quentin M August 12, 2013 for Model Number Mod # LFC21770ST/o5 S/N: 908KRJU00148 LG French door refrigerator. Stainless steel model. Problem: Trouble with ice maker. It is cold and seems capable of producing ice. For some time now, ice production and dumping into storage tray has been eratic in operation. Some times I can feel the rotating trays are in an upside down position. Sometimes shut off arm seems rigid. Pressing a small button on the bottom (very difficult to see), will cause the ice tray to rotate back in the refill position. Sometimes I get ice, sometimes I get a loud clicking sound and by feeling the ice tray, it seems to be trying to rotate, but can't. It will stop clicking after 24 plus clicks. It will make ice, I believe if the mechanism will position correctly to fill tray. Then will dump the tray after the water is frozen. I can't see what the small button on the underside of the tray mechanish to see what is it's function (nothing in my data book on it). Some times the "shut-off" arm is free to move and sometimes not. This is a 3 door French type stainless steel unit. Of course the ice mechanism is in the bottom space (freezer part). Appreciate any help you might offer.
1 Answer Quentin, This situation sounds like the icemaker is the problem and would need to be replaced. When you are hearing the clicking, that is when the icemaker is trying to eject the ice but the heater is not coming on properly and causing it to force the ice out. The part number for the icemaker for your unit is part 5989JA0002A Read More...
