Symptoms

Reason & 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.

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 

ON

 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.
