Chris September 10, 2016 for Model Number LFX25961AL Fridge works great. Ice maker makes ice. Issue is that the ice seems to be melting in the ice container, and eventually I see water dripping out of the ice dispense flap, drips out on the ground. I removed the ice container, and the ice looks melted together. Is there a temp sensor or something that controls this? The Ice maker door is closed tight, and the seal looks ok. Fills with water fine, makes ice fine.... It melts...Help?
1 Answer Chris, There is not a thermostat for the ice compartment. You will want to make sure that the ice fan is running by pushing the light switch and feeling for air coming out of the top hole on the left wall with the left door of the unit open. If there is no air then double check to make sure that the icemaker is in the on position. If the icemaker is off it will cause the ice fan from coming on. Read More...
Dale July 28, 2016 for Model Number Kenmore Elite Icemaker PN AEQ36756901 My icemaker works and completes the diagnostic test cycle. However, the water fill only turns on for about 2 to 3 seconds. It loads only enough water to fill the first 2 to 3 cube containers even if I set it to large cubes. So it takes a long time to make enough ice for normal use. Will replacing the icemaker correct this, or would it be another part?
1 Answer Hello Dale. It sounds like the water valve may not be opening all the way or the icemaker is bad in the unit. Either can cause this issue. 3 to 5 seconds is a normal fill time. Read More...
Nancy March 16, 2016 for Model Number LFX25960ST Ice maker is working, but the ice is not staying frozen.
1 Answer Nancy, You will want to check the dispenser door to make sure that the door is not staying open which will cause warm air to get into the ice compartment and melt the ice. Check the temperature in the freezer to make sure that the unit is getting down to 0 degrees. If the temp in the freezer is not cold enough then this will also cause the issue. Read More...
Rick January 11, 2016 for Model Number LFC25776ST/02 Refrig is maybe 3 years old. Ice maker worked fine for a year. Now water is dripping into the supply tray. Creating an iceberg. Will make a few good cubes, a few hollow, but mostly the ice comes out like crushed ice. Has been getting steadily worse.
1 Answer Hello Rick. It sounds like the unit is too cold and is cycling early. You want it to be 0 to 5°. If it is, then replace the icemaker in the unit. Read More...
Will December 29, 2015 for Model Number LFX25980ST After you power the ice maker on, it makes one set of ice and then no more. Running a test cycle by holding the water selector switch, the feeler arms will rotate a full cycle, but then the Level 3 and Level 2 water level lights both illuminate and further depresses of the selector switch don't do anything. Replace the ice unit?
1 Answer Hello Will. If the temp is 0 to 5°, then you will need to replace the icemaker in the unit. Read More...
Mick November 23, 2015 for Model Number gr-l227stg My ice maker is dripping into the ice bucket and freezing everything. Is there an 'O' ring seal that could be worn. The water isn't dripping from the ice tray, it doesn't overflow and the rest of the operation is fine.
1 Answer Hello Mick. No, if the icemaker is leaking, and is not overfilling, you will need to order and replace the icemaker on the unit. Read More...
Rick October 06, 2015 for Model Number aeq36756901 I have replaced icemaker, however water will not fill tray. I can fill tray manually and it works. Why will it not fill on its own?
Konichi September 16, 2015 for Model Number LG LFX25960ST Replaced ice maker with 2 different units, but ice still has to be manually ejected each time by holding reset button down and forcing unit to recycle manually. Have set freezer temperature to -6 F on door panel, so temperature should be low enough to trigger unit to eject ice once solid, but it's still not happening. Any idea what else I can try to get the ice maker to automatically eject ice when water becomes frozen solid, since 2 new units couldn't have a bad motor or timer? I even get the same results when I put the old unit back in, now that I know how to force unit to recycle.
1 Answer Hello Konichi. It sounds like a temp issue. You need to physically test the temp in the freezer. If the temp test good, replace the main board next. 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...
Marty August 30, 2015 for Model Number LFX25960ST Replaced icemaker in Oct 2011. Worked fine until recently. Its completely dead. No signs of power. No water entering, no lights illuminated, no sound, no movement? What should I try 1st? 2nd?
1 Answer Hello Marty. If none of the lights on the icemaker are coming on, you will need to check and see if there is power to the icemaker. If so, then you will need to order and replace the icemaker on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Larry August 15, 2015 for Model Number LG LFX25961AL Our LG refrigerator ice maker has stopped working. We changed the water filter and since then no ice has been made. Not sure if this is related or just a fluke. Previously our water dispenser had very low water pressure and since the filter change the pressure has increased - its almost as if the water pressure has mover to the water dispenser and none to the ice maker. Again, this could be just a fluke. Could you give me some ideas as to what I should do? Thanks!
1 Answer Larry, It may just be a coincidence that this issue happened at the same time that the filter was replaced. You will want to check to make sure that there is power getting to the water valve when the icemaker is cycled. If there is voltage getting to the valve then the issue will be a faulty valve. If no power then the icemaker would be the issue. The valve that needs to be tested is located in the door behind the small shelf that is removable. Read More...
