LG Refrigerator Ice Maker (AEQ72910411)

The LG Refrigerator Ice Maker is the self-contained unit inside your freezer compartment that produces and harvests ice automatically for on-demand use. It works by drawing water from the supply line, freezing it in a mold, and then using a heating element and ejector arm to release finished cubes into the ice bin below. This assembly handles the full ice-making cycle from water fill to cube delivery in your LG French Door refrigerator.

The LG Refrigerator Ice Maker can fail from a cracked or warped ice mold, a burned-out heating element, a faulty thermostat, or a worn ejector motor that can no longer push cubes out of the tray. Water mineral deposits and freezer temperature fluctuations can also cause the assembly to stop cycling correctly over time.

These symptoms can help you decide if the ice maker matches your problem:

- Refrigerator stops making ice entirely

- Ice maker produces only partial cubes or misshapen ice

- Ice clumps together or freezes solid in the mold

- Ejector arm is stuck or no longer rotates through its cycle

- Ice maker fills with water but never completes a harvest

- Unusual noise during the ice-making or ejection cycle

- Ice bin remains empty despite the ice maker appearing to run
