LG refrigerator ice maker not producing ice. testing icemaker. test button location

in this video will go over how to test the ice maker on this particular ice maker. there is a test button underneath it. you had to hold it for a few seconds until you hear a beep and then ice maker will cycle. the sensing arm will come down also. it will spin around and dump the existing cubes if there is any and after that it will fill up the water. in this case there was no water coming in so either have a bad water valve or there is no water coming to the refrigerator. ice maker seems to work fine. if yours is not turning around, most likely it's broken. also check if refrigerator is cold enough. it will not produce ice only if it's cooling enough to freeze. water has to be a lot colder than that.

So ours the tray disconnected and fell off and it started dumping water out into the bin and we would just get a big block of ice. Thanks to your video I noticed there is an off button to stop it from making ice, I was worried I would be having to keep de-freezing. We have someone coming till next week hope they are able to fix it. Thanks!

Thanks, mine is having cubes and water it flipping 4 times per day only

[@myappliancefixed]

Four times per day is pretty good. I guess it could be an issue with your cooling if it's not as cold. Set the freezer temperature colder try that first

[@LogicalTea]

Any idea what to do if its not making ice even after the test? I tried using a hair dryer to no avail. I've done everything but turn the firdge off (Which is unreasonable) Same exact model

[@myappliancefixed]

If during the test it spins around and fils up with water the. But doesn't make ice You will need new ice maker. Assuming it's cooling properly. Get 5$ Amazon thermometer make sure It gets to 0 in the freezer. Make sure ice maker Is on on the display. Before you replace icemaker

[@NormanOrtiz]

Where you able to fix this problem? I have been with this issue for 2 years having to manually press the reset button around 3 times a day in order to produce ice manually. It is not dispensing automatically.

[@myappliancefixed]

Just replace the ice maker. It will fix it

[@manngroupdesign]

@@NormanOrtiz Did you ever find a solution. I find myself doing the same thing as you.

[@shermnpc]

@@manngroupdesign same here. love the ice it makes, when it makes it.

[@Powers_D147]

Thanks dude!

[@omershalev3308]

Can we put a divider in the ice tray if we want to use part of the tray for storing food? Will that be a problem?

[@robertoninho23]

What if the ice maker is working but the ice is not falling down automatically?

[@myappliancefixed]

Most likely mechanics are broken and the ice maker will need to replace the whole ice maker

I have same issue. lg customer support is the worst
