Andy November 28, 2023 for Model Number AEQ7313002 LG ice maker Ice maker is leaking small amount of water between ice tray and motor housing causing a small icicle keeping the lift arm from moving. Is this a common problem with this model and is there a fix for this? This is the third ice maker I have had this problem with.
1 Answer Andy, This would not be a common issue and would require the icemaker to be replaced. Read More...
1 Answer Orville, the icemaker is mounted on the freezer door, remove the screws that hold the icemaker to the panel, loosen the wiring connectors, and remove, and reverse the process to install the new icemaker. Read More...
Brent E January 12, 2023 for Model Number LSXS26366D/05 When I search by my model number, it comes back with Ice Maker Assembly #AEQ73130002. However, I looked on the ice maker that is currently in the fridge, it has a part # of AEQ73209906. Which one is correct or are they interchangeable?
1 Answer Brent E, The AEQ73209906 / AEQ73209906 is the correct replacement part for your model. Read More...
Curt September 26, 2022 for Model Number LFXS30766 - LG Refrigerator My ice maker has not been working so I was getting ready to order the Ice Mold AEQ73209904. Yesterday it started making some ice again. Is that a symptom of an ice maker on the way out or could there be another issue causing it to not make ice and then start again?
1 Answer Curt, there could be a different issue going on that could cause this failure. The first thing that would need to be identified is the actual temperature in the ice container section. If the temperature is not maintained at 1°F or less, the ice maker fan in the freezer section would need to be inspected for any ice build-up. If it is being maintained, the button in the pinhole of the ice maker motor would need to be pressed using a small tool to place it into a test mode. This will allow the ice maker to be observed to see if it operates properly. It should rotate the rake arms to dump the ice and then fill with water for 9 to 12 seconds. Read More...
Curt September 23, 2022 for Model Number LG Refrigerator - LFXS30766 My ice maker is not working and I have been doing some troubleshooting with no luck. It is more cost-effective to replace only the ice mold with control device than to replace the full assembly. Is there any reason to replace the full assembly if the ice shoot and motor are working? Thanks!
1 Answer Curt, as the auger motor and chute are working properly, replacing just the ice maker AEQ73130004 for your model would be a good way to go. Replacing the entire assembly ACZ73990802 at this point would only be for ease of replacement. Read More...
Dave April 20, 2022 for Model Number AP5959515 Just installed new LG ice maker, noticed in description it says "takes 12 to 24 hours" for new ice maker to start producing ice. Why so long? I figured once install is completed the the cube area on unit freezes up, it would signal unit to deliver water to reservoir.
1 Answer Dave, it takes this long for the ice maker to produce ice due to it having to get cold enough for it to cycle, freeze the water that it calls for, then go into a second cycle. The time for the ice maker to get to cycle temperature when it is first installed is what takes the longest. Read More...
Les December 20, 2021 for Model Number 79551832.412 I think I spoke to soon as ice maker delivery tube froze up again last night.What is next step.It worked great for awhile.
1 Answer Les, if the water valve AJU34125555 is new and the filter is good, the next step would be to verify that the incoming water pressure is within 40 to 90 PSI. The optimal pressure is between 60 to 80 PSI. If the water pressure is less than 40 or greater than 90, it can cause the water valve to not be able to open and close properly. Another thing to check for would be inspecting the tubing for pinholes that may be breaking the vacuum. Read More...
Steve November 19, 2021 for Model Number LSXS26326S Ice maker leaking a bit of water causing ice to stick together and causing difficulty in removing the ice buckets due to small amount of ice buildup at the bottom. Is this the ice maker or possibly a water valve failing to shut down water after the cube tray is full.
1 Answer Steve, This issue would most likely be caused by a water valve that may not be fully seating causing a seepage. Read More...
Bill Lilly June 24, 2021 for Model Number LSXS26366S/02 I recently replaced ice maker on this model should ice sensing are move freely except in harvest,is there a test bottom on this ice maker ,and out of the wires which 2 are the voltage for ice maker and what voltage is the ice maker
1 Answer Bill, Unfortunately, we do not have wiring information on this unit to be able to determine the correct ice motor connection points to test for voltage. The sensing arm will only move when the unit goes into a harvest mode. There should be a test button on the side of the icemaker. Read More...
Dave August 28, 2020 for Model Number LSXS26366D/01 Does it come with installation instructions? Or any other resources?
1 Answer Dave, unfortunately, the ice maker assembly AEQ73130002 does not come with instructions. With the power cord unplugged, the ice bin, and top cover removed, there will be three screws that will need to be removed from the ice maker and auger panel. Once these screws are removed, the assembly can be pulled forward and the wire connectors removed. The ice maker mounting screws can be removed and the ice maker replaced. Read More...
