LG Refrigerator Ice Maker (AEQ73110227)

The LG Refrigerator Ice Maker is the self-contained assembly responsible for producing and harvesting ice inside your refrigerator's freezer compartment. It works by filling a mold with water, freezing it to the correct temperature, then using a motor-driven ejector arm to push finished ice cubes into the storage bin. The assembly includes the motor, thermostat, and mold components needed for a complete replacement.

The LG Refrigerator Ice Maker can fail from mineral buildup inside the water mold, a worn ejector motor, a faulty thermostat that misreads freezer temperature, or damage caused by a frozen water fill line. Normal wear over time can also cause the harvest cycle to stall, leaving ice stuck in the mold or stopping production entirely.

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

- Refrigerator stops making ice completely

- Ice production is slower than normal or very low in volume

- Ice cubes are misshapen, hollow, or clumped together

- Ice maker motor hums or runs but does not eject ice

- Ice maker arm is stuck or does not cycle through harvest

- Water fills the mold but freezer never completes the harvest cycle

- Unusual noise coming from the freezer during the ice-making cycle
