Frequently Asked Questions - LK60C LG

How many ice cubes does the machine produce per day?

The machine produces 8 cubes per cycle and 64 to 128 cubes in 24 hours, depending on usage conditions.

How long does it take for the machine to start making ice after installation?

It takes 12 to 24 hours after installation and startup for the freezer to reach the proper temperature.

Why is my ice maker not working?

Check that the switch is in position I (on). Ensure the water supply is open and pressure is between 20 and 120 psi. Also check the freezer temperature (0°F/-18°C recommended).

How to install the water valve?

Unplug the refrigerator, remove the back panel, connect the wire harness, secure the valve with a screw, then connect the water line. Follow the step-by-step instructions in the manual.

What to do if ice cubes taste bad?

Clean the ice bin with warm water and mild soap. Wrap food tightly to prevent odor transfer. If the problem persists, clean the inside of the refrigerator.

Can I use the ice maker without a water connection?

No, the machine requires a water supply. If not connected, set the switch to position O (off) to avoid damage.

How to clean the ice maker?

The machine does not require specific cleaning. Regularly clean the ice bin and wipe the outside of the machine. For mineral deposits, use a suitable descaling agent.

What to do if ice cubes are too small?

Check that water pressure is sufficient (20-120 psi). Ensure the water filter is not clogged. The freezer temperature should be 0°F.

The ice maker is humming. Is this normal?

Yes, the humming comes from the water valve opening to fill the ice mold. This is normal. If the noise continues without ice production, check the water supply.

How to turn off the ice maker?

Set the switch to position O (off). If going on vacation, also shut off the water supply to prevent leaks.

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.

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.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER DOES NOT WORK
