LG FRIDGE LFXS26973 Not Making Ice

Ice Maker Assembly (Slim SpacePlus)

The most frequent failure mode is a seized or malfunctioning twist-tray motor within the assembly. When the motor fails or the internal thermistor provides inaccurate readings, the harvest cycle is never initiated, resulting in zero ice production. This assembly includes the motor, tray, and sensor components necessary to restore the timing and ejection cycle.

Water Inlet Valve

If the ice maker motor functions during a test cycle but no water enters the tray, the solenoid on the water inlet valve has likely failed. This dual-valve assembly controls water flow for both the dispenser and the ice maker; a burnout in the ice maker solenoid prevents the filling of the ice tray while the water dispenser may still function.

Bottom Freezer Ice Maker Assembly

This model variant often contains a secondary ice maker in the bottom freezer. If the failure is isolated to the bottom bin, the harvest motor or the level-sensing arm on this specific assembly has likely failed, preventing the unit from detecting the need for more ice or physical ejection of cubes.
