Phil August 26, 2019 for Model Number LMXS30776SS LG Can the ice size be adjusted? Ice Maker = AEQ73110205 The cubes are rather small so I am hoping there is a simple adjustment. I was able to do this on a whirlpool that I have in the garage.
1 Answer Phil, unfortunately, the ice cube size is not adjustable on this type of ice maker due to how it operates. After 60 minutes of water sitting in the tray, the tray will tilt to allow the most airflow to directly contact the freezing cubes to allow for the most exposure possible to the cold air.

Randy May 12, 2019 for Model Number LFXC24726S The ice maker storage space in the slim door seems to be experiencing a lot of ice build up It looks as if Where the water dumps into the ice maker is allowing the water to overflow and run down the side of the collector bin for the ice This is becoming worse every time I look at it Any suggestions on what the problem could be ?
1 Answer Randy, It will only be one of two possibilities, either the ice maker is overfilling or the water valve is not sealing good when it finishes cycling. You can always disconnect the water tube in the upper back wall of the unit where the water enters your freezer compartment on the back of the unit and cycle the ice maker and use a cup to let the water flow and see if it stops flowing when voltage is no longer present.

Jacki January 24, 2019 for Model Number 79571053010 I only need the replacement ice cube tray, icemaker works fine. Unable to find ice tray sold separately. Can you help?
1 Answer Jacki, the ice maker AEQ73110205 is not available as separate components of the entire assembly. The only way to get one part of it is by getting the entire assembly as this is the only way the manufacturer supplies it. Read More...
Greg January 19, 2019 for Model Number LFX28978ST/01 (LG) I have the same question as Edwin did - see below - except my model number is the -01 version: LFX28978ST/01 (LG). There is no icemaker assy number on the unit. Hello! Need to replace the icemaker assembly but mine has two 8-wire white connectors. All I've found are 3 and 6 wire connectors. Please help!
1 Answer Greg, According to the manufacturer the icemaker assembly for your unit will be AEQ73110205. Read More...
Eddie October 22, 2018 for Model Number 79571053012 The ice mold tray is filing however when it turns to dump, the cubes stay in the tray causing the next cycle of water to overflow. Is there any kind of element that heats the tray to loosen the cubes so they fall when the tray rotates?
1 Answer Eddie, This is a flex tray icemaker and would not have a heater to heat the ice. For this issue the icemaker would need to be replaced. Read More...
Juan October 13, 2018 for Model Number LG Refigerator Model GM L268FSXP My refrigerator was bought in 2014. In 2016 the icemaker stopped making ice. The tech guy came, tried the test button and it did not respond, so he unplugged the unit, plugged it again, and it started working again. Six to eight months later, it stopped again. I followed the same steps I’d saw, and restarted the unit disconnecting it and reconnecting it back. I observed this procedure worked only if I took the icemaker off the fridge for several hours. By doing this, I’ve been able to making it work again several times during some weeks everytime. I’ve been doing this procedure for the last 6 months, but is annoying and for sure, I shouldn’t need to do it. What could be the problem?
1 Answer Juan, This issue will most likely be caused by a faulty main icemaker on the unit. Read More...
Mindy August 24, 2018 for Model Number 7957106010 Ice maker wouldn't produce ice consistently so we replaced the ice maker. Now, the ice tray doesn't fill all the way. The water comes on for 5 seconds at most and then shuts off. Did not have this problem prior to replacement. Any ideas? Thanks!!
1 Answer Mindy, check the temperature of the freezer compartment, you should be getting 0-5 degrees, this is the range that will ensure a consistent ice harvest every 1-2 hours. Higher temperatures in the freezer will slow down ice production. Read More...
Cary August 07, 2018 for Model Number LFX25974ST Have a block of ice forming under the auger motor. Looks like water is dripping out of the ice tray maybe. Put the icemaker in test mode but when it went to dump the ice there was no cracking sound like usual. Could all the ice not be dumping and then it refills and overflows.
1 Answer Cary, It is very possible the ice tray could be damaged or cracked and not twisting to dump the ice.You will need to verify the wire connector from your ice maker to see if its a 6 wire or 3 wire.I'm sure there are videos for removal on the internet to help.Paer # AEQ73110205 is the 6 wire and part # AEQ73110203 is the 3 wire.

Steve July 19, 2018 for Model Number Kenmore Elite 795.72053.110 Ice Maker stopped dumping ice. Replaced the unit and still not dumping ice. Had service technician come out and said the new ice maker was defective and everything else was good. Ordered and installed the 2nd new unit and still not dumping ice. What are the odds that both of the 2 replacement units are bad? Should I try a 3rd new unit or is there something else that could be wrong (controller board)? Very frustrating and expensive and still no dumping ice. Any insight would be appreciated. Original and replacement units were AEQ73110205.
1 Answer Steve, It is highly unlikely that 2 icemakers would come in faulty. If the icemaker is filling with water but not dumping the ice then this will most likely be an issue with the control board on the unit. Read More...
Todd July 16, 2018 for Model Number LFX21976ST03 This is a french door LG. Ice clumps in the bin, like it's melting. We are emptying it into the freezer almost daily. Both refrigerator and freezer temperature seem fine. From what I can tell, it's not overfilling--I've replaced many water inlet valves and this doesn't seem to have those symptoms. I'll check it every 6-12 hours and I just don't see any excess water. Running a manual reset seems OK too. Is the next step to replace the entire assembly, or is there something cheaper I should try. Thanks for your thoughts!
1 Answer Todd, You will want to check to make sure that the ice door is closing all the way as this would be the most likely cause for this issue. Air migration into the ice compartment. If the door is closing all the way then check for a deteriorating ice mold and if there is deterioration of the mold then you would need to replace the icemaker. Read More...
