We completed a repair on an LG refrigerator at 629 Wertz Avenue Southwest in Canton, OH. The customer reported ice makers not working and getting some water out from underneath the refrigerator. Our diagnosis revealed sediment buildup obstructing the icemaker fill valve.
The Problem
The customer contacted us because their ice makers were not working and they were getting some water out from underneath the refrigerator. This combination of symptoms often points to water supply issues in the icemaker system.
Diagnosis
Upon inspection, we found sediment buildup that was obstructing the icemaker fill valve. This blockage was preventing proper water flow to the ice makers and causing water to leak underneath the unit.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: No parts recorded
- Work performed: Cleared sediment buildup that was obstructing the icemaker fill valve
- Result: Good to go
Is It Worth Repairing?
LG refrigerators are generally well-built appliances, and this model represents good value for repair when the issue is maintenance-related like sediment buildup. Since no parts were needed for this repair, it was definitely cost-effective. If the problem recurs and requires icemaker water valve replacement, the repair would still likely be worthwhile on this unit.
Maintenance Tips for LG Refrigerators
- Replace water filters every 6 months to prevent sediment buildup in the icemaker system
- Clean the icemaker fill cup and surrounding area monthly to remove mineral deposits
- Check water lines behind the refrigerator annually for leaks or sediment accumulation
