Water from the water dispenser now comes out a bit faster, but still nothing in the ice tray. I did unplug the unit for 30 seconds and I reset the ice machine. They freezer works just fine.

What can I do nextHi Pat, check the temp inside ice maker with a fridge thermometer, you can get it in Walmart for 5$. Cleaned it out and now it fills.I has since frozen again.

Please helpHello Elizabeth. Thank you. I still don’t have it all cleared but it appears that there is something inside that may be plastic because it’s not melting. We have been unable to get an LG service person to our area. Copyright © 2009-2020 LG Electronics.

if it’s getting power, then the inlet valve in the door supply ice maker.

I also hear the ice maker turning to dump ice but because there’s no water, there’s no ice to dump.Probably water inlet valve malfunction. The fan is working. At least I didn’t see itSome of the causes: Weak water pressure, Partially clogged inlet valve (there are 2 of them, one for the water dispenser and second one for the ice maker)My LG ice maker bowl filled with water and not freeze.

I tried the test button and water did come out water is dispensing. The process was repeated often… After reading your post noting possible calcium building up in the intake valve, I looked up this video After reinstalling the ice machine/housing, and resetting the ice machine w/ the paper clip, I could hear and see that water was filling the tray, but after days, the water wasn’t freezing. I replace the inlet valve and still nothing.

Thank you!Hi, my LG LMX25981 has a similar issue, I can hear the pump from ice dispenser trying to fill the ice tray with water, then checked, nothing. Refills fine BUT will not rotate to release the ice. Turns out you can place a simple magnet on the left French door’s front-facing hinge to replicate the door being closed (it’s housed behind the grey plastic housing). I went and thoroughly cleaned the heat exchanger (vac and compressed air).

I replaced a valve at the bottom rear of the unit (AJU72992601) where the water from the wall plugs in. Icemaker wont refill with water. The water is not coming out of the ice chute. What component regulates the temperate in the freezer and fridge as well as the defrost cycle………..The mother board, the PCB main or something else. It’s making ice but not dispensing it in the tray. try to change inlet valve, I guessHow do you change the control board and where do you buy it… My Ice is not dumping automatically…Hi, When I use a paper clip to push the reset button the ice maker just keeps spinning and spinning. So press and hold the button for about 3 seconds until the arm starts to turn.For the first 2 hours, the refrigerator has been plugged in, the ice maker test can only be run once.

Ice maker will not fill with water. I unplugged fridge for 30 secs.

I’m left with either icemaker itself or control board?

This should resolve the issue by lowering the water pressure, so that too much water does not overfill the tray.

It has an on/off switch but I haven’t found any way to do a reset. ?so my Lg bottom freezer fridge suddenly has quit making Ice.

I also lowered the fridge temp by a degree too to see if that would help. I replaced the ice maker with a brand new one. While I had the line removed, I ran the test cycle on the ice maker to see if the inlet valve would release water when the ice maker called for it to refill. It tends to want to pop up. The video showed how to clean the filler hose with a paper clip.

Thanks in advance!Hi, I have an LG top refrigerator, bottom pull out drawer freezer. Besides this, we get big lumps of ice cubes in the tray. This is a Test Button. My water inlet valve is a single solenoid, I believe the replacement model is LG AP4451762 Refrigerator Water Inlet. doesn’t matter ice Plus feature is ON or OFFEugene, I am having the same problem as Michael has. Upon refill, with some of the ice still in tray the excess water causing major clumping in the lower bin. maybe this video will help you I have a LG ice maker with the on off switch.

Any thoughts?Control Board?

And exactly at this point i would put probes of the multimeter on the inlet valve connector and see if its geting power.Eugene, I have a Kenmore Elite / LG french door refrigerator.

What could be going on? 1st for the water dispenser and 2nd for ice maker. I have the 1st type/style of ice maker you show and am able to do the test in order to get the ice tray to rotate however it seems to bind up or get jammed on the right-hand side (as you look at the dispenser).
