Frequently Asked Questions - LK75C LG

How long does it take for the ice maker to start producing ice after installation?

After installation and startup, the ice maker requires 12 to 24 hours to reach operating temperature and produce the first cubes.

Why is my ice maker not producing ice?

Check that the switch is in the I (on) position, the water supply is open, and the pressure is sufficient (20-120 psi). Also ensure the freezer is cold enough (0 °F / -18 °C).

How to install the provided water valve?

Follow the steps in the manual: remove the refrigerator back panel, connect the valve's wire harness to the connector, secure the valve with a screw, then remove the fill tube cap and insert the tube.

Why are the ice cubes too small?

This may be due to insufficient water pressure or a partially closed water supply. Check the pressure (20-120 psi) and make sure the water valve is fully open.

The ice maker makes a humming noise, is this normal?

Yes, occasional humming from the back is normal during ice mold filling. If the unit is not connected to water, this noise may indicate a risk of damage; set the switch to O (off).

How to clean the ice bin?

Empty the bin, wash with warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For bad odors, also clean the refrigerator interior.

What to do if the ice tastes or smells bad?

Clean the ice bin and cover foods in the refrigerator to prevent odor transfer. If the problem persists, clean the refrigerator interior according to the user manual.

Can I use the refrigerator without connecting the ice maker to water?

Yes, but you must set the ice maker switch to the O (off) position to avoid damage. Do not leave the machine connected without water.

How to install the fill tube on model LRTLS2403?

Remove the tube cap, insert the black tube into the opening until it stops, secure the tube with the bracket and screws, then connect the white tube from the valve into the left opening and the black tube to the right using the provided clamp.

The ice maker produces ice too slowly, what to check?

Ensure the refrigerator doors are properly closed and the freezer thermostat is set to the recommended temperature (0 °F / -18 °C). Frequent door opening slows production.

Replacing the Icemaker

It is important that you use the water valve that came with this kit, even though your refrigerator may already have one installed.

The old valve will not allow enough water through to properly fill the icemaker and will cause damage.

WARNING

Personal Injury Hazard

Avoid contact with the moving parts.

DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.

The icemaker will produce 8 cubes per cycle, approximately 64-128 cubes in a 24 hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, how frequently refrigerator doors are opened, and other use conditions.

If you wish to operate the refrigerator without connecting a water supply, set the icemaker switch to O (off).

When the refrigerator has been connected to the water supply, set the switch to I (on).

The icemaker will fill with water when it reaches the proper temperature. A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes.

Discard the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear.

Be sure nothing interferes with the movement of the feeler arm.

When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.

CARE

WHEN SHOULD YOU SET THE ICEMAKER SWITCH TO O (OFF)

• When the ice storage bin is removed for more than a few minutes.
• When the water supply will be shut off for several hours.
• When the refrigerator will not be used for several days.

NORMAL SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

• During use, you may hear an occasional "buzzing" noise coming from the back of your refrigerator. This is normal and occurs when the water valve is turned on to allow water to fill the ice tray. If the refrigerator is not connected to a water supply, this noise will still occur and damage can result from operating the icemaker without having a water supply line installed. To avoid unnecessary operating noises, and avoid damaging the icemaker, locate the icemaker switch and place it in the O (off) position.
• You may occasionally hear the sound of ice dropping into the ice bin, and running water during use as the icemaker refills.

WHEN YOU GO ON VACATION

Set the icemaker switch to the O (off) position, and shut off the watersupply line to the refrigerator.

If you anticipate that the temperature surrounding the refrigerator may drop below freezing, have a qualified plumber drain the water supply system to prevent property damage due to flooding from ruptured water lines or connections.
