Hey brother how’s the elbow and golf bag holding up in 2024?

Making ice but no water coms out to drink

Wake me up when he gets to the good part please...........

Scotty G, you just saved me a load of money. Thanks for the no-nonsense funny video

Awesome info SG Do you know if these have an ice limit switch. Ours seems to make to much

I got no ice or water

Thats all and dandy but you have ice i dont if i start taking things apart how do i know that im going to have ice.? Nice video i guess I unplugged the refrigerator check the lines and do my own research thank you.

Shouldn't this style be referred to as a French door? I always think of side-by-side as refrigerator on one side and freezer on the other.

I got this fridge last year. Great fridge, except for the ice maker. It takes 48hrs to make a full Amount of ice (which isnt very much)

Hey there Scott, ice maker seems to work in mine but suddenly water and ice won't dispense. Lights come in and nothing happens. What do you think? Thanks!

Appreciate the video. Our icemaker jammed and this video gave me the courage to take it apart myself My problem, if the helps anyone else, is that the ice expanded in the tray (water expands when frozen) and jammed the turning mechanism so it won’t dump the ice. The only solution I found is take it apart, put it outside and thaw it all. Put it back together, made sure all plastic parts that popped apart due to ice expansion were back together and it worked fine. Reason you have to take it apart is that if you left the door open to thaw it, you are leaving your whole fridge to thaw too Hope that helps someone. Follow his steps and let the whole unit thaw, then put it back.

Did u replace the motor or what ?

Scotty G I have the same ice maker as you do. Mine will make ice, but it won’t put it in the bucket. I replace the water filter ideas what my problem could be.

I have same lg but I have ice but no water.

I am having the opposite issue. Mine won’t make ice how do I fix that? The freezer temp is set at 6f What do I do to make the ice work ?

Hey Scotty I got the same Ice maker you got. I've always got crushed ice and found a white plastic part in my glass which I know came out of the icemaker. Looks like a small wheelchock. It has a long gated hole in it made that way handle-looking thing. I'm sure it has something to do with Cubed and Crushed Ice. You didn't happen to see anything like that in there. ABS P/N MEA619928-6 HN.09.10 The 28 could be a 26 number are worn.

The actuator never free spins , the old one was probably fine. He never showed that the new one spun freely...bc it was no different. The gearing mechanism is fixed till it activates to dispense ice. Remove the ice tray, close the door & press the lever to release ice, you'll see it spins fine when activated, now try to spin it by hand....nope! That's normal operation.

I have a LG two door fridge and there is ice building up on the wire that moves that dispenses the ice. I have no issues with the water coming out of the fridge and have tried resetting the ice machine many times. What should I do? Do I need to replace the ice maker?

Great video but u skipped putting the auger motor back on

Hi! I have the exact same refrigerator but my problem is that the icemaker is slow to make ice. Even with new filter, same results. The water dispenser works great. What could be the issue?

Thank u Scotty 💓 💗

I don't have my manual Sears is no help any one has a part # my model #LSXS26366D

Mine makes crushed ice but cubes jam or wont dispense

Noticed no water line hooked up the the ice maker assembly when you removed it. Where is the water supply? (I'm asking because my brand new unit leaks water into the bin and down into the ice dispenser hole.) Mine doesn't have an on/off button either.

My Ice maker stopped a making ice and before I was about to spend 150 on the ice unit I just did a good old unplug the entire fridge freezer pressed a few buttons to try to discharge all residual juice and plugged it back in and it worked. Start with the easiest fix first. I'm happy not to have done any real work and saved some money too. Figured I would contribute since I watched this video it could help someone as well.

I mustve missed something here. Did you just buy a new actuator part and replace the old one? Or was actuator frozen from ice and you thawed it out and reinstalled it? Or was it rusted and and you lubed it and reinstalled? Please advise the dummy here. Thanks.

I have my Niners one! Sorry bud haha but yes the bag is awesome quality and I'm head over heals about it.

How do I get the ice to rotate and drop. Can you show that?

We could not find exact actuator so we bought whole assembly. The new one has extra plug. Old one has two and new one has three. We tried to hook up not using extra plug and it doesn't work at all. Any suggestions?

He said it was jammed so that means clean it up a bit

Our LG is a slightly earlier version as it does not have the ON/OFF switch for the icemaker. Mine was turning the ice into a block and freezing the whole assembly to the door. Saw a video where someone cleaned the water dispensing orifice. Tried that, no change. Inside the filler spout there is a plastic plug with a very small orifice. I pulled that plug out. (Mine was orange) 3 weeks later, no issues whatsoever.

Ice will not drop from the tray

Hey Scotty G. I have the same ice maker in my LG refrigerator but the issue lm having is that although I've forms in the tray, it just won't dump it! Do you have an advice for me to fix this problem?

This fixed our problem!! Our ice maker was making the ice but stopped automatically dumping it. We could press the button and manually dump it but that got old fast. Took a lot of effort to get that center screw off! Would also add that it took a few days to wake up and start working. Went on vacation and returned to the bucket being completely full upon our return! No issues since.

Real straight forward Scotty G. Thanks. Mine works fine but my ice tray broke, according to LG I have to replace the entire ice maker because they don't just sell the tray!

thank youi where did by the remote? i have the same problem 👍

Hey Scotty G. Thanks for the VIdeo Great! My problem is this. I have water that dispense "Ok". But I have "no" water for the ice maker. Just does not fill. The switch seems to work, but when I turn it on and off the tray does not move (much). Is it sticking? Got any ideas? Again, I have water dispensing ok. Just not filling the tray and the tray maybe stuck.

Hello what is the name part thath you change

I have the same problem in my LG fridge. It just overnight stopped dispensing ice. I have been through several videos. However, I can turn the actuator by hand. It is making ice okay, the flapper opens when you press for ice. No motor noise. I will check on replacing the actuator.

Hi Scott, what is the name of the piece that you replace it ?

Oh my gawd!!! FINALLY!! Someone who addressed the actual problem I'm having without being a self-proclaimed refrigerator repair specialist who ends up telling me to just take a hairdryer to the darn thing!!! 😮 Thank you!! 😊

This was a great video and very helpful. Mine had a chunk of ice that was in the reservoir that made the water splash over it. Thanks again.

Hi Scotty G I have this ice maker and under the ice try on each side are little plastic tabs one of mine are not connected How can I fix that? Water leaks on the floor

About $350 to fix it not $1000

Scotty, thanks for the video. After you replaced the actuator arm, how easy was it to turn the metal connector? I can turn mine, but it takes a little effort. Should it turn easily or with some resistance? Thanks.

"SWAGGIN' it as I go...". Haven't heard that terminology in decades... For those that have no idea as to what "SWAG" is an acronym for, it's "Scientific Wild Ass Guess"...

Hey Scotty G, where did you buy the part actuator? Mine is doing the same thing (not dispensing ice)

You didn't show when you fixed the actuator. Did you buy a new part? Where? Thx for the video and my fridge has the same problem but, how do I fix the actuator?
