LG Refrigerator Repair – Canton, OH (LMWC23626S/02)

We handled an LG refrigerator repair on Harbor Drive Northwest in Canton, OH for a customer whose ice maker stopped producing ice. This nearly two-year-old LMWC23626S had developed a faulty ice mold sensor that prevented the icemaker from cycling properly.

The Problem

The customer reported that their ice maker was not producing ice. The unit was out of warranty at roughly two years old, and the customer was frustrated with LG warranty service pricing and scheduling options.

Diagnosis

Testing revealed that the ice mold sensor was reading open, meaning it couldn’t detect temperature changes needed to complete the ice-making cycle. Without a functioning sensor, the icemaker assembly couldn’t determine when to harvest ice or begin a new cycle.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: AEQ72909603 — Icemaker Complete
• Work performed: Replaced icemaker assembly with new unit
• Result: System tested good to go with proper ice production restored

Is It Worth Repairing?

For a two-year-old LG refrigerator, replacing the icemaker makes financial sense. These units typically last 12-15 years with proper maintenance, so you’re getting many more years of service. The icemaker is a self-contained assembly that doesn’t affect the refrigeration system’s longevity.

Maintenance Tips for LG Refrigerators

• Replace the water filter every 6 months to prevent mineral buildup in the icemaker lines
• Clean the ice bin monthly and check for proper door sealing around the freezer compartment
• Keep the coils clean and ensure adequate airflow around the unit for optimal compressor performance
