A Canton homeowner called us when their LG refrigerator’s ice maker stopped working completely. We arrived to find the ice maker assembly had failed and needed replacement.

The Problem

The customer reported that the ice maker doesn’t work. No ice production, no cycling sounds, no water filling — the unit was completely dead.

Diagnosis

Testing confirmed the ice maker assembly had failed internally. The unit wouldn’t cycle or respond to reset attempts, indicating a complete component failure requiring replacement.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: AEQ57518201 — Ice maker assembly
• Work performed: Installed new icemaker
• Result: New one cycled and filled with water. Good to go.

Is It Worth Repairing?

LG makes solid refrigerators, and ice maker replacements are routine repairs that typically provide years of reliable service. For a unit like this LFC20740ST, replacing the ice maker assembly is usually more cost-effective than replacing the entire refrigerator, especially when the cooling system and other components are working properly.

Maintenance Tips for LG Refrigerators

• Replace the water filter every 6 months to prevent mineral buildup that can damage ice maker components
• Clean the ice bin monthly and check for proper sealing to maintain optimal ice maker performance
• Keep the refrigerator level to ensure proper ice maker cycling and water flow
