TROUBLESHOOTING

Ice & Water

Symptoms

Possible Cause & Solution

The automatic

icemaker does not

produce ice or

produces a small

amount of ice.

Did you install the appliance recently?

• The ice maker produces ice normally when approximately 48 hours have

passed after the appliance is installed.

• If the fridge compartment temperature is too cold, the water filter can

freeze and block the water flow to the ice maker.

Did you connect the water supply pipe to the appliance and open the

supply valve?

• Connect the water supply pipe to the appliance and open the supply valve

completely.

Is the water supply hose bent?

• If the water supply hose is bent, the water flow could be compromised.

Have you dispensed a large amount of ice recently?

• It takes approximately 24 hours to produce more ice in the automatic

icemaker. Please wait.

Did you set the ice maker switch or the automatic icemaker button on

the control panel to ON?

• Press I on the automatic icemaker switch or set

for the automatic

icemaker button on the control panel. (For more details on how to use, visit

LG Electronics website or use your smart device.)

Is the temperature of the freezer compartment set too high?

• If the set temperature is too warm, ice will be produced slowly or not at all.

Set the Freezer temperature to -18 °C for normal operation of the

automatic icemaker.

Have you been opening the appliance door frequently?

• If you open the appliance door frequently, cold air will escape, lowering

the speed of ice production. Do not open and close the appliance door

frequently.

Is the appliance door completely closed?

• If the appliance door is not completely closed, the temperature of the

freezer compartment will increase, slowing down the ice production

speed. Close the appliance door completely.

Ice is not dispensed.

Unable to hear the sound of ice coming out?

• In the control panel, select the modes for cubed ice and crushed ice

alternately to dispense the ice.

Is the ice path blocked? (You can check the ice passage by separating the

ice bin.)

• Ice may not be dispensed properly if the ice passage is blocked. Check the

ice and clean the ice path regularly.
