LG Refrigerator Ice Maker (AEQ73449911)

The LG Refrigerator Ice Maker is the complete 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 set temperature, then using a heating element and ejector arm to release finished cubes into the ice bin below. This kit includes the components needed to restore full ice-making function to your LG Smart InstaView Door-in-Door refrigerator.

The LG Refrigerator Ice Maker can fail from mineral buildup inside the water mold, a worn or stuck ejector arm, a faulty thermostat that misjudges when ice is ready, or damage caused by freezing temperatures that crack internal components over time. Water supply issues, such as low pressure or a partially closed valve, can also stress the assembly and cause it to stop cycling correctly.

These symptoms can help you decide if the ice maker is the source of your problem:

- Refrigerator produces little or no ice despite normal freezer temperatures

- Ice maker runs through cycles but drops no cubes into the bin

- Ice cubes are undersized, misshapen, or clumped together

- Ice maker makes loud clicking, grinding, or buzzing noises during operation

- Unit stops mid-cycle and does not resume without a manual reset

- Water leaks from the ice maker area onto freezer shelves or floor

- Ice has an unusual taste or odor linked to mold buildup in the assembly
