LG Refrigerator Ice Maker Parts

LG Refrigerator Ice Maker Parts

When your LG refrigerator stops making ice, makes too little, or leaks water into the bin — the ice maker assembly is almost always the culprit. LG ice makers are one of Repair Clinic's top-selling parts because they fail more frequently than most brands, but replacement is straightforward and affordable compared to a new refrigerator.

An OEM LG ice maker kit comes complete with the motor, fill valve, tray, and all internal parts. Installing the kit is typically a 30-minute job that requires no special tools. Always turn off the water supply to the refrigerator before starting, and verify your model number to ensure the exact fit — LG uses different ice maker designs across their French door, side-by-side, and bottom-freezer lines.

• Ice maker produces no ice: water fills the tray but never freezes; fill valve stuck or motor not cycling
• Ice maker makes small or partial cubes: insufficient water reach or low water pressure; check inlet valve first
• Water leaks from ice maker into bin: cracked tray, loose valve connection, or misaligned tray positioning
• Loud grinding or buzzing from ice maker: motor jam or gear failure; OEM replacement kit includes new motor
• Ice cubes taste or smell off: water filter clogged; replace filter and clean tray before assuming ice maker failure

LG Refrigerator Ice Maker FAQ

Why do LG ice makers fail so often?

LG ice maker assemblies have a higher failure rate than some competitor brands due to the complexity of the fill valve and motor cycling system. Water pressure changes, mineral buildup, and motor wear are the primary causes. The good news: replacement kits are affordable ($80 to $180 depending on model), and most homeowners can install one in under an hour with basic tools.

How do I find my LG refrigerator model number for the correct ice maker?

Your LG model number is located on a sticker inside the refrigerator — usually on the wall above the upper shelf or on the side wall. It starts with "LRMVS" or "LRFVS" for newer models. Write down the full model number and enter it into Repair Clinic's parts finder to see the exact ice maker assembly compatible with your fridge. Never rely on guessing the model — LG's ice maker designs vary significantly across their product line.

Can I just replace the fill valve instead of the whole ice maker kit?

While individual parts like the fill valve and motor are available, OEM ice maker kits offer the best value and reliability. Kits include a new tray (which often cracks or warps after years of use), new motor, and new valve — all tested together. Buying individual parts and mixing old and new parts increases the risk of leaks or incomplete function. Kits are the OEM approach for a reason.

What if my ice maker is leaking water — do I really need a full replacement kit?

Before replacing the kit, check two things: (1) Is the water line properly connected and not cracked? (2) Is the tray seated correctly in the housing? If both check out and water still pools in the bin, the tray itself has cracked or the valve seal has failed. A full OEM ice maker kit is the reliable fix. Attempting to patch or seal a cracked tray rarely holds long-term.

LG Refrigerator Model Number: Where to Look

LG places the model number on a label inside the fresh food compartment, commonly on the side wall above an upper shelf or near the door seal. Open the doors and copy the complete model number exactly, including letters and numbers. Then punch it into the search bar to sort the catalog down to your refrigerator's parts across every category, not only ice maker parts. Matching the full model also accounts for design changes between LG refrigerator series. That means fewer wrong orders and a faster repair.
