How to Reset Ice Maker on LG Refrigerator & Troubleshoot the LG Refrigerator Icemaker

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

One question I've been getting is "I can test the ice maker and it will dump with ice, but it won't do it automatically, only manually. Why is it doing this?" The answer: LG refrigerators are designed to only cycle the ice and icemaker if the temperature in the icemaker is at or below 10*F (-12*C). You need to get a thermometer and verify that the icemaker compartment is at or below this temperature. If it is not, then it won't run. This also means a sensor could be bad that'd otherwise register the correct thermometer-verified temperature. Hope this helps!

Hi Ben, I have a home sale pending on my ice maker working. I have no issues replacing the ice maker but I am not so sure it is the cause. I have an LG LMX25984ST/00. The water line is working to fill the ice tray and the cubes are freezing, the arm comes out but never dumps the ice and I hear a constant motor running. I took off the cover and reinstalled it so I can watch during a test cycle. I can see the arm coming out and the gears turning, and hear the water filling, etc. I put a temp sensor in the ice bin with remote display and will check temp after a few hours. I ruled out water line issues but not sure if it is a temp sensor issue or the ice maker motor issue. If the temp is the issue, would the motor sound continuously trying to dump ice with the arm out? where is the temp sensor in this refrigerator? I want to check voltages but I don't have a schematic. I would gladly pay a consult fee for your help. I can't believe the sale of my house is dependent on a working ice maker. TIA Diana

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

@@DonofrioPetTV motor shouldn't be turning constantly from my experience. Could be a stuck gear or a wire that's constantly sending voltage. I'd look maybe at the new icemaker

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

@@DonofrioPetTV My honest opinion is its the icemaker. I'd buy it from somewhere it can be returned if that isn't the issue. I shill for Appliance Parts Pros, but most of them should be able to deliver one pretty fast. If the motor is twitching but not actually cycling during the call for ice, there's gotta be something defective there. I try to watch my comments/info as much as possible, and your issue is the first time I've heard of that, and it does sound like maybe there's a voltage interruption or the motors' going bad causing no automatic run of ice.

[@DonofrioPetTV]

@@bensappliancesandjunk interesting. I have ordered from them before and I found the videos very helpful in repairing my dryer. However this icemaker is on back order and I was told it cannot be returned so for those reasons I cant order from them. I need this part very quickly so I need to order directly from the manufacturer thanks again for your help. I greatly appreciate it.

[@masikatawazai4973]

Where is the icemaker thermostat located? I have a lfx31925st that I'd like to fix the ice maker on. Keeps filling and producing ice but I have to manually use the test button to get it to dump. I assume it must be the bad thermostat you speak of.

You're video was shorter and 100 times more useful than the official LG channel.

[@clewis4826]

Thanks! I'm a lady landlord, and my tenant called to report that the lce Maker on her LG fridge stopped working. I found your video and used it to help me troubleshoot. You gave me the confidence to try to fix it rather than pay hundreds of dollars to a technician. Turns out that there was some ice stuck under the tray that prevented it from flipping. I melted the ice with my hair dryer and did the reset. I just checked with my tenant again today, and she said the ice maker is still working.

Thanks for making this easy-to-understand video and for mentioning the test button. I hope this will get the ice maker working again. The icemaker is filling with water but may not be dumping on its own. Remains to be seen. Thanks for your instructions.

[@ianmcintyre8724]

Great video, in the past ice maker stopped producing ice but started a couple days later. It stopped again, checked water supply then saw your video. I didn't know about the test button. Pressed it and it cycled and filled with water. Simple correction but not shown in user's manual. Thanks.

[@AAATowDriver]

I was getting frost in the freezer (due to seal). I noticed ice build up on both bottom drawers due to the air getting in the freezer therefor stopping the ice maker. Once I chipped at the old frost and allowed it to be "frost fee" again.... I pulled the clear plastic door ice bucket from door and reset the rear test button and now I see water pouring into the ice tray. You are the man....THANK YOU!

[@purplehayes5253]

Dude... you are my hero! I'm not sure exactly what I did (other than to mimic everything you showed me), but the ice maker is working again. Probably the reset, but how nice to not have to pay someone to do this for me. God bless you!

[@RayRalls]

Ben you presented everything so well when I compared yours with other videos!!! You were very informative, easy to understand and gave me the information that was needed. I just replaced the LG ice maker assembly and had issues. If others viewers are replacing the Ice maker auger assembly be sure to look to confirm if you have the 3 prong plug and socket connectors or the 10 plug and socket connectors. YOU MUST REMOVE THE assembly to visually make sure with one your LG had installed. The 3 prong plug and socket connectors also has a long green wire to the auger motor as seen on this video. The part on Amazont is AEU73110203 not AEU73110205 (no long green wire. I didn't read carefully enough and added extra time getting the correct part for the repair.After replacing the assembly I had no water till after I watched your video. I push the reset button as suggested and it filled as soon as I had the door closed. I have owned the LG for about 7 years and never knew there was a reset button. Thanks Again, Ray

[@WasherDryerMoney]

I like the voiceover. Repair videos just seem more professional when there’s a voiceover. It gives it a really good crisps consistent sound throughout the video. I need to do voiceovers for my repair videos.

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

The #1 reason I do it is because I suck at ad-libbing. A long time ago on these videos, I wanted to do a voice-over and screwed up like... 5 takes. Just couldn't do it. Now when I voice-over, I'm reading a script I write. That way I have a better idea of what I want to say, and have to do way ,way less takes to get it right. It sounds better and let's me create the content faster. Doing it real-time for some videos is better and absolutely faster, but when you're doing some difficult things you can't always talk and work at the same time. Also, I run a shop so the number of times I got a worker talking to me while I'm filming is higher than you'd think

[@nickb2578]

Many thanks - I was not getting water to my ice maker and was convinced that this was an issue with pipes being frozen or that tank in the bottom of the door was being defective. A reset from the reset button triggered the water to be dispensed- just so you know! Its not obvious in any instructions that the water supply will be reset as well. Many thanks - best video out there🎉

[@Luephia]

Thanks for this video! Question, I've tried power cycling the ice maker, the tray doesn't try to move at all when I turn it on. It also doesn't do anything when I push the test button. Makes me think that maybe the motor is gone. Any tips? I'd really hate to have to buy a new ice maker.

[@KAOS2K9]

Almost the same issue here, the tray does its little motion when I power cycle it, but holding down the test button doesn't do anything.

Excellent video, all the details I was looking for on this setup- I was expecting the bit of ice cube spillage when I pushed the test button thanks to the helpful caution in the video, but didn't expect the drop of the freshly filled tray of water when I pushed it a second time just to watch it work again. Should have put a cup in the door when I tested it the second time- At least I know there's no problem with the water delivery now..

Terrific video. It is actually quite easy to remove and replace this ice maker, thanks to this video.

Ben, Excellent video with super clear illustrations. I have a LG Frige, model # LMXC23796S. Its water dispensing is fine. Issue is ice dispensing - after pushing the ice plate, no cranking sound, no motor sound and no ice coming out. Yet plenty of ice inside the door bucket. Will I have faulty micro switch or motor or push plate mechanism? Where are they located and how to isolate the problem? Thank ahead

[@f1176]

@@verondaalvarado5812 Yes, mine was the Push bar inside (behind the control plate) plastic mechanism broke which could not properly press on the micro switch. This is because users used too much force banned on the push bar. Unfortunately there is no separate "plastic mechanism" available/sold. I had to buy the entire panel assy to replace the entire assy. I was lucky found a new assy on ebay for $125. Replacing the assy , you can find procedures on youtube and just be very careful to do it. Your case may be different - could be micro switch or cracking motor. If your push plate is loose and too much play side way, then you have plastic mechanism broke inside.

Your video is definitely one of the better ones. Thanks you. My icemaker (LG Refrigerator model LFXS26973S) intermittently makes a very loud knocking noise. Checked water--good. Actually caught it making knocking noise , opened icemaker door. I saw the ice maker tray trying to dump ice, but tthe ice would not drop. It looked like there had been too much water and it froze over the top of the tray forming one, thick sheet of ice. I performed the test and it appeared to function correctly except again, it would not dump ice. I reached under and broke the ice sheet and ice pieces rained down. At that point, the tray returned to its place and began filling with water. side note, I have on occasion seen where what appears to be excess water from the tray form ice on the bin below, like its overflowing .

Great video, thanks! Any idea why the ice maker may not be initiating a dump cycle (ever)? It's making ice, and when I run the manual dump cycle as you show, it does so without any problems--it just won't trigger a dump cycle itself when the ice is complete.

Hey Ben, Thanks for the video. My issue was that the ice was freezing but not dumping automatically, I had to press that reset button for a couple of seconds to activate the manual dump. I checked all my gaskets and ice chute flap, all good. I threw a thermometer in my freezer overnight and it was a good 0 degrees. It was bugging me so I pulled my fridge forward and checked the back for dust bunnies. I know I cleaned that area last year or so. I noticed dust again on the coils and surrounding areas so I vacuumed those out BUT as I'm looking around towards the bottom inside of the floor area, I saw some vents that faces the floor completely clogged so I cleared those out as well and I left it alone overnight. I woke up to a half full ice bucket! It worked and I also noticed that my freezer temperature is reaching -4 now. One thing to mention; Be patient, as the ice falls into you ice bucket, it helps cool the ice maker area to trigger the auto dump. Hope this helps others with this same issue. Good Luck!

[@MrBubbadon]

Hey Ben. Thanks for the video. We’ve had the same LG refrigerator as you for 6 years and it has had the same problem for the entire time. We’ve had the LG guy out to look at it twice. Each time they replaced something but it does the same. The thing makes ice but the area below the auger and above the drop doors gets clogged with ice. When this happens you can sometimes stick your fingers up through the drop area and jiggle the ice loose but mostly you have to remove the ice maker/auger assembly. This is problematic as the ice mounds up at the bottom of the assembly and blocks it from removing easily. It is guaranteed ice is going all over the floor. You then have to dig the ice out of the hole in the door. This happens usually twice a week (for 6 years). Any suggestions?

[@pamsutton1532]

I am having the same issue. We’re you able to solve?

[@MrBubbadon]

@@pamsutton1532 no we haven’t. Strange thing is we left for 10 days a couple of weeks ago. We we returned I figured all the ice would be frozen in one big clump but it worked perfectly. I have no idea. I also contacted LG and they were useless. They offered to send a repair person out that I would have to pay for. Given that two others couldn’t fix it I said no. Good luck and if you figure anything out, please come back and let me know.

WARNING. He says to "push" the tab to remove the lower water reservoir cover. DO NOT DO THIS, it will break the tab and you'll need to buy a whole new reservoir cover. Without this tab, the cover will flop open when you open the door, even when the top screw is replaced. I suggest using needle nose plyers and carefully squeeze and twist the tab to work it out of the hole.

GREAT VIDEO! THANK YOU! I have replaced the ice maker unit before but now I have a no water problem with the ice maker…will check the inlet pump on the bottom of the door.

[@breakingtheturfgrassceiling]

Great video. I'm having an issue with the ice maker leaking upon fill up. When using the test button and watching as the tray fills with water, some water flows between the tray and the plastic that holds the tray in place. Secondly, when the tray has ice in it and then spins to dispense the ice, the ice sometimes does not dump out of the tray and the unit makes a horrible loud pounding sound as if it's stuck. It's not stuck, it rotates but sometimes the ice does not come out. These issues seem tied together. I do notice some ice forms where the overflow happens and perhaps prevents the tray from turning fully. So, the problem seems to emanate from the filling process, as if there's too much water going into the tray. Any ideas on how to regulate this?

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

Check water pressure going to fridge. If its over-filling, its possible valve (from supply to fridge) is too high. Maybe try lowering/shutting off valve slightly.

[@donc.8019]

I had the same issue . Fixed: the clear plastic cup that guides the water to the tray. cracked mounting tabs on the cup . it was out of alignment preventing the ice tray to dump correctly causing icemaker to Distortion in test mode.

The issue we are having is, if we don't dispense the ice daily/regularly, the ice in the tray eventually solidfies into a solid block ot two of ice, forcing us to open the ice maker unit and break it down manually, which is messy and not ideal. Is it possible that the warmer air from the fridge is getting into the ice maker compartment and slowly melting the ice into these solid blocks. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you this was helpful. I did the button test and saw that the rotating ice tray jams on the right side and does it rotate entirely on our BRAND NEW LG FRIDGE. we’ve had it for less than an hour and a half.

[@jdmarshall8]

Thank you. I’m pretty handy but, your quick concise video, didn’t waste my time, and help me troubleshoot the issue.

[@TimeForLifeTravel]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! My ice maker stopped working after I turned it and the water off for a week while away on vacation. Nothing I tried worked, but the test button you pointed out at index 146 fixed it! Once again, Thank you!

[@KnTGoree]

Great information and details. I do have an issue. My tray runs normally when I test it, but does not rotate or dump the ice in normal operation mode. Changed the filter, etc. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[@knockaroundguy101]

Same Issue here.

[@ramehrer]

ABSOLUTELY THE FINEST APPLIANCE VIDEOS I HAVE EVER WATCHED! THANKS SO MUCH!

[@VOLKFOVO]

Great video!! I currently have an issue where the ice clumps near the sensor so it constantly thinks it's full, have you had to troubleshoot this issue before or have an idea of how to? Thanks!

[@ericb1294]

Same issue here. Any luck solving it?

[@staceyjohnson3817]

Thank you. I just received my fridge yesterday and couldn't get the door ice maker to work. I used the test button and it filled the tray. I'm so glad you made this video.😄

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

If you just got the refrigerator, it takes a few days to fully cool down the freezer compartment. The cold air from the freezer channels into the icemaker, which freezes ice. If the refrigerator isn't cold enough (under 10*F) it won't trigger automatic cycles yet. So I'd give it a few more days before you get too worried.

Great video. I am having problems with the craft ice maker located in the freeezer. It has unit working and the unit is only 15 months old. I have tried the basics of power cycling the lower unit and changing the settings, still no craft ice, any suggestions?

[@chialexuwakwe3627]

Ben, i must say, you are very thorough and well detailed, i enjoy and learn a lot from your videos.. kudos !!

[@rihsk]

This was very helpful. My ice tray was not working, even when I pressed the test button. I unscrewed the whole unit and removed it from the door. The wires were frozen at the bottom of the panel. I let it defrost and cleaned it up. Reinstalled it and the the unit worked again.

[@seby7347]

Thanks Ben! My ice maker began to dump ice no stop it will not stop unless I opened the door( ice and water). Thanks to you I did a reset and all is well. Why would the motor jam even in the off position.

[@Oorfmeister]

Hey , great video ! My ice maker makes ice , the dispenser works but it does not dump the ice out of the tray after it’s frozen . The test cycle works and I’ve been manually filling the bin while figuring out what’s wrong. Is there a way to repair the sensors ?

[@nanese7493]

Wow! Great informative video. My ice maker tray fills with so much water that the cubes are all one block. Do you have any instructions for this problem? Thanks

[@borisgrushin868]

Holding the reset button got mine working, thank you!

[@joan4239]

I'm laughing because the plastic from the loaf of bread was blocking the freezer vents 🤣. Whew! Thank you!! This video did make me aware of those vents 😁.

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

Glad it was easy!

[@DoverBoy20]

I owe you a coffee! Couldn't figure out why my ice maker wasn't filling with water. All I had to do was hold the test button down and let the tray do it's little jig and there came the water.

[@shawnnadedrick2539]

This was a wonderful video thank you so much but what if ice is not dropping into the freezer ice tray from the refrigerator door

[@richstorebo777]

Forgive me If you’ve already answered in other comments Low water flow issues, ice bin is filled and working very well

[@bigboyhhoneshot7025]

Ben. Do you know the issue if around the ice maker water is dripping from? Freezing up around ice maker and dispenser bin ice maker workers dropping ice cubes but like said water freeze around bin

[@DamianValentino]

Thanks very helpful to find the button below. I noticed that my ice maker didn’t rotate on its own to dump the frozen ice. Water kicked back on and filled the bucket so let’s see if it automatically dumps out the new ice.

[@Mo_1P]

Thank you! You just saved me some $$$. Hope you get some good luck today.

[@Robert-i1f7f]

Great video. Our ice tray seems to be stuck in cycle and doing the reset or turning on/off doesn't do anything. Any ideas?

[@maggiesimmons-thurman2154]

Very informative video. We’re making ice, but it won’t dispense. I’ve unclogged the chute, but still won’t dispense. Plenty of ice in the tray, just won’t drop the ice. Any suggestions?

[@verondaalvarado5812]

I have the same issue. Were you able to find a solution?

[@dtomala1665]

Great video Ben did the reset twice. First try dumped five or so little chips. Second try dumped water. Thanks man Cool shirt!!!

[@djlehn1967]

thanks for the video. Our ice maker seems to want to turn but gets hung up? I tried the test button and the ice tray will go up and down but seems like it is in there crooked (at an angle) and hitches at that point. The water line works as it started to run water into the tray. Any thought are appreciated. Thanks

[@user-bi5ut8stxs9ym]

holding ice maker button solved the problem! Thanks!!!!!!

[@Entropybayareamusic]

I did everything you have mentioned - we had a power outage and thereafter I don't see ice working in fact I feel its not even cooking enough any help?

[@reddogg235]

My ice maker makes ice just fine but it won't dispense it. I can see the problem which is that the female part on the ice bucket needs to mesh with the metal part on the door so that the augur will operate. But those parts are now 180 degrees out of line and I can't figure out how to get one then turned so that they line up. Can you help? Your video is really well done, especially the clarity of your voice.

[@rosesakey365]

Hi Ben Thank you for all the demos. I followed all of your instructions on the video. I 1. I removed the ice bucket 2. I turned off the ice maker and I noticed that the ice maker is not dumping ice or not turning like in your video. 3. I hear a click like when I turn the ice maker On/Off switch and I notice that the ice cube maker is not turning or in the dumping position. It's hardly moving or flipping. 4. Before I make a "mistake and make something" could you please advise what I need to do to fix the ice or IFE code eradicated and have a functional ice maker. Also, the water dispenser is not working, I assume this function is related to the IFE problem? Please help. Thank you, Rose S. San Diego, CA.
