LG Ice Maker (AEQ36756901)

The LG Ice Maker forms and releases ice cubes inside the freezer by filling its mold with water, freezing it, and cycling a harvest mechanism to dump the cubes into the bin. It also signals for refills so the next batch can start.

Common failures include a cracked mold, a worn drive gear or motor, a jammed ejector, or internal switches that do not read position changes. Ice buildup, low water flow, or debris in the fill path can strain the mechanism and lead to stalling or incomplete cycles.

Look for these symptoms to help decide if this ice maker is the part that matches your issue:

• No ice production even though the freezer is cold and the ice maker is turned on
• Cubes freeze in the mold but do not eject into the bin
• Small, hollow, or incomplete cubes from inconsistent filling
• Ice maker cycles repeatedly without dropping ice
• Clicking, grinding, or stalling sounds during the harvest cycle
• Ice clumps or jams at the ejector or rake area
• Water overfills or spills into the ice bin due to timing or control issues
