LG Fridge - Ice and Water Not Dispensing FIX
This is exactly what happened to my LG refrigerator. Thank you for taking the time to share your repair…it helped me diagnose and fix my fridge without spending $550 on a new door just because of one broken 14 gauge wire.
Thank you for the video. Clear instructions helped restore my fridge without a hefty bill. Little bit of time and effort was worth it.
What part number do I need to order
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I came home to a cracking noise coming from my freezer. Come to find out it was the sound of things in my freezer thawing out. I just went grocery shopping and thought my $300 of food was a goner. But I followed this. I didn’t even have to take the cover off. I just hit it from the outside with my hand and BOOM. If started cooling again and now I know what to order asap
What size tip do you use for your torch?
I use the 00 nozzle tip. It works pretty good with the small refrigerator lines.
This was by the far the most helpful video! It never came up before today for some reason & I broke the first dispenser I purchased trying to get the spring & both sides of the lever in. Detail on how to work the spring was key for me! Thank you!
This may be a dumb question, but for the fridge force defrost mode will that affect the freezer temp?
If you place the unit into a “FD”, this places both the fridge and freezer into forced defrost mode. This shouldn’t affect the temperatures much, but it does slightly.
Kinda annoying that I watched through this video and just to find out the mystery box is replacement parts. I thought this was gonna actually go into the exact issue as to why it was doing this to begin with.
ours doesnt cool below 50 degrees and the compressor and fan does run, how do we get to the evaporator to inspact ours for ice?
I just got our french door $3000 refrigerator repaired. LG will replace the compressor and other parts for free if it is less than 5 years old. Ours got a new compressor, drier and condensing coil. It uses r600a coolant. It took about 2 hours for everything. I was told the compressor is the same but the software update is easier on it. OK? It was 4 years and 11 months old according to the serial number. It was in the house when we moved in and they never asked for a receipt. I had to register the fridge to get the work done so I told them the date we bought the house. As long as it is under 5 years I don't think they are too picky. The first three numbers in the serial number contain the date code. Mine was 908 meaning it was made in the 9th year and the 08th month. I guess they don't expect their fridges to last over a decade so just one year number. After 5 years the compressor is covered but not the other parts or labor. He said labor would be $450 after the five years. I love LG but this is my last one with a linear compressor.
thx
Nightmare product,lasted less than a year. Worst $ 1,566 bucks I've ever spent..4 attempts to fix it n still broken..Could go to 22 days without a fridge n have company coming in to stay with us. Frigidaire doesn't care about that..We have to wait 5 more business days for parts (their technicians have already replaced 3 parts)..Absolute garbage product,beyond a lemon !!
Just bought a refrigerator 358 days ago..Now it doesnt work and it's under mfg warranty (less than a year)..They have sent 2 technicians,4 trips total n still not fixed..17 days n counting without a refrigerator n its been a nightmare with all the phone calls n losing half days waiting for them..They will not reimburse us for a ton of food that was destroyed..Frigidaire has been cold in their response and I would never recommend their product !! PS. Still waiting for it to be fixed n could be 5 more business days ( we were denied a new fridge ).A 1,566.78 $ product should last at least a few years but lasted less than a year😢..
It is always a battle when dealing with manufacturers. I wish you good luck and hope you get a new fridge.
Hi, Thanks for the video! Where do you buy the parts that you used in this video?
All my parts come from local supplier who gets it directly from manufacturers. If you Google the part numbers, you will find many places that sell what you’re looking for.
My issue is that the dispenser control board burnt... Bought another and replaced and it worked! Ice and water! For 30 seconds and then burnt that new one.. sigh. Any ideas what to look for next? Thanks.
Either you need to find an OEM quality part or you need to start testing things with multimeter to determine what is causing the control board to burn. Something is grounding. When did it burn again? When you were using the water dispenser? When nothing was being activated? During dispensing of ice? Crush? Cube? Need a lot of information to be able to give you some advice.
What type of wire needs to be used standed or split
Stranded wire is ideal.
Exact problem! Just ordered part! Thanks very much!
I hope the engineer/designer of these fridge ice makers has nothing but minor inconveniences that get worse daily, hate this fridge
Thank you for sharing video. This fixed my problem. Never would have thought of the power supply issue as it broke just after plumbing work in the house. Thanks for DYI fix.
I want to sincerely thank you for your video. My 2016 model unfortunately has the relay controls mounted behind the front panel resulting in running a jump wire from the top hinge down. If you don't mind, I'm going to share a cross post to my video for viewers in the same situation. Cheers! ruclips.net/video/5vTZa64UQVc/видео.html
Thank you!
What if the read out is 0.0
We purchased a new Sansung refrigerator and the ice maker froze over almost immediately - we called Samsung and they said where we live there is no repair facility available so they refunded all of our money for the purchase! I would still like to fix he maker so hopefully this will work.
Wow. So even now nothing has changed with their brand new models. That is crazy. Thanks for the comment.
@@ShareTheRepair this was about nine months ago I don’t want to deceive anybody
Tytytyy this was my exact issue
Whirlpool ftw
Question: How do we know if we need to replace the control board vs just the ice maker assembly? (Thank you.)
There are various repair kits for various models. The only way to know the exact repair kit your model number requires, you will need to contact your fridge manufacturer directly, speak to parts department, provide them with your model and serial number and then they will be able to provide you with the correct part number for your repair kit. However a warning. This may not fix your fridge.
Thanks for video 🙏that actually happened to my fridge will try to do that hopefully it work 😁👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much!! You saved our fridge. Great video with clear instructions.
Feel confident I can buy the fridge I want now . Thank you!
Can’t get middle shelving
This worked to make my water and ice work again. Unfortunately, the fridge and freezer are now warm. I can hear the compressor running. Any ideas on what might have happened?
Since you’re dealing with an LG, more than likely you either have a sealed system leak or a failed compressor which are also common problems with these fridges.
Will water near the float sensor naturally dry out after some time?
Eventually, yes. But that could take a couple of days if not a week due to the styrofoam float trapping the water.
What does it mean if there is a star code or snow fake symbol on the panel
Always refer to the appliance’s manual for precise meanings, as symbols can vary by manufacturer and model.
I'm confused. How can a broken wire lead to no resistance? Wouldn't a broken wire have infinite resistance?
In a complete circuit current flows through the wire because it provides a path with some resistance, even if it’s very low. In a broken wire the continuity of the circuit is interrupted. Since no current can flow through the gap where the wire is broken, this is akin to having an open circuit. In an open circuit, the resistance is considered to be infinitely high because it effectively blocks current flow. However, for those of us who work on electrical components daily, we often refer to infinite resistance as no resistance. This is due to the fact that some multimeters do not show infinite resistance reading but either a resistance value or an OL reading which we see when testing an open circuit or when the volt meter is not being utilized. Hope this makes sense.
@@ShareTheRepair Thanks for that explanation. Your fix worked for me! After two pros looked at it and couldn't fix it.
I’m glad it helped!
Thank you ShareTheRepair for making and sharing this LG refrigerator repair video. I rarely comment on videos, but your video and several follow-up tips in the comments guided me to success with my DIY repair for my 2016 LG refrigerator. This is a deeper troubleshooting and explanation than other refrigerator repair videos as the symptoms are different than the every-day type issues that are most often covered. I’m sharing this in case others like me with limited appliance repair experience run into some of the issues I saw in the comments and experienced in my repair. The fix for me was to jump both the pink and the red/white wires and now everything is working with our ice and water dispensers. As mentioned in the video, I didn’t think the issue was my water inlet valve as our ice maker was making ice, but neither the water or ice dispensers were working. Additionally, I had just replaced the water inlet valve a week earlier because of similar (but slightly different) symptoms, and I was confident that was working…more on the inlet valve later. Unplugging the refrigerator and turning off the water supply, I followed all the steps in this video except for removing the front door panel to check the dispenser switches…a commenter noted this and his reasoning made sense for my situation. Testing the harnesses by the door hinge and on top of the left door with my multimeter, I got no reading on the pink wire as shown in the video and got a consistent 24.7V on the blue wire. I tested dozens of times as there was no going back after cutting wires in the harness. Based on a commenter’s note, I went with 16g wire and I used the gray twist connectors (like in the video) that are rated for connecting two 16g wires. I connected the pink wires via jumper as shown in the video and measured with my multimeter to find that there was no voltage, but there was continuity, so that was a step in the right direction. I plugged the refrigerator in, turned on the water supply and my symptoms remained the same…no ice or water was dispensing, but the lights came on for the ice and water. Looking back through the comments, someone mentioned that they had to put the hinge cover back on the hinge so the door sensors would work properly and I tried that…that got me another step further as now I could hear the motor run for the ice maker (but not the water dispenser if I recall correctly), but no ice or water would come out. That symptom is very much like what is seen when the water inlet valve has failed. Unplugging the refrigerator and shutting off the water supply, I swapped out the new water inlet valve I had just put in with another new one (continuity tested positive on both) and there was no change in my symptoms. Looking further through the comments, someone mentioned they had to jump the red/white wire to fix their water dispenser. That made sense as both those wires are on the same harness and if one was broken somewhere in the door, then the other one could be, too. I connected the red/white wires via jumper and plugged in the refrigerator and turned on the water supply. Ice and water came out and we were back in the game. Final steps were to make longer wires for my jumpers to better accommodate the door opening all the way and I notched the hinge cover near the front as well as the main door harness cover to better route the wires. I won’t be surprised if I have to do this again as there isn’t an easy way to take all the stress off the wires, but at least I’ll know what to look for. A failed water inlet valve will have the symptom of no water coming out but the dispenser will hum as it’s trying to dispense water. Ice may still be dispensed, but none will be made. I happened to have an extra water inlet valve on hand because I thought that it had failed again in the same week since I got the replacement part off Amazon. I ended up ordering the “real” part from another vendor and had an extra. The symptom for the broken wire(s) is that neither the water or the ice dispenser will work (and no dispenser motors will hum), but ice is still being made as the water inlet valve is working. Once I got the pink wire jumped, the ice dispenser was working but the water dispenser wasn’t and there was no hum from it. A commenter noted that for him, jumping the red/white wire solved his water dispenser issue and that fixed it for me as well. In my case, my issue was resolved by jumping both the pink and the red/white wires and I had replaced a failed water inlet valve the week prior.
Good job!! Your patience and research with this repair is what got you to resolution! These are the bones to any successful troubleshooting and repair. Also a very well description on your findings. For anyone else reading this, remember just because I only found one wire broken inside the door does not mean that there aren’t other wires broken inside that door. You have to be certain that you do not have multiple wires broken to be successful in repairing this symptom. So far, I have ran across multiple fridge with this same scenario and one of these fridges had a total of 4 broken wires. Good luck to everyone.
I replaced the water inlet and the ice maker. Water is is still not being dispensed into the ice tray. Even have I hold the reset button and the tray calibrates. Water will not pour out into the tray. I can fill cups of water on the front of the fridge, but water isn’t going to the ice maker. Any ideas?
Broken wires inside your door.
I can’t tell how many LG fridge I’ve seen with broken wires inside the door since making this video.
@@ShareTheRepairit’s model LMXS28626S. Like I said if I hit the reset button on the ice maker it resets the dispenses and it does the spinning calibration reset, but no water comes out. On this model, there would be a wire in the left door that controls the water going to the ice dispenser ?
@@echolectricstudios2870 Any fridge that has an ice maker will have a signal wire running from ice maker to either control board or valve that signals the ice maker water valve to turn on to allow water flow into ice maker for a preset duration. (around 5 seconds) If the signal is not reaching the water valve, water will not turn on.
Thanks for the info. Nice to know. but my problem is, my side by side freezer is not staying cold enough. The frig is cool but the freezer only freezing the food about half way? the ice melted in the box and dripped out the front. It's like the compressor does not stay on long enough? I replaced the cap and relay on the side of the compressor but that didn't help? I set the temp a little cooler and it made some ice but didn't fill the tray. The next morning, after replacing the cap and relay, the ice was still in the box but the box was not full as it should have been after 24 hours. The fan in the freezer is working and also the one in the bottom back. Could the temp sensor be bad? If so do you have to replace the whole panel? Thanks Rick
What to do if the ice bucket won't even come out?
You will need to perform a lot of defrosting with steamer aimed as best as you can into the ice bucket or unplug the unit for a couple of days or take the chance and jerk the bucket out hoping that it will not shatter. Nothing much else you can do.
@@ShareTheRepair thank you
Question what if the broken wire is the blue one , I already did the pink but also the blue is broken ? Please help
If there are any broken wires inside the door then it’s a high chance your ice maker will not function. Depending on your unit, there could be between 2-3 blue wires in the wiring harness and most certainly one of them goes to the ice maker thermistor. Thermistor is responsible for sensing the ice maker temperature. If control board does not see ice maker temperature below 15° F then ice production is terminated. Once temperature of ice maker is below 15° F then ice production is resumed since ice maker is cold enough to freeze water with in allotted time.
So, a year later, is this repair still working?
So let me explain an interesting component with these Samsung fridges. If you and me bought the same exact Samsung Fridge at the same exact time, we would experience both same and different problems. But what’s most interesting is that if we both had this ice maker issue come up at the same time and we performed this same repair to both of our fridges, your fridge could be fixed permanently and my fridge would be fixed temporarily. Or vise versa. At this point in time there is no guarantee that performing this repair will permanently fix your fridge and unfortunately no way of knowing how to determine which fridge qualifies for a permanent repair. My fridge is still holding up but there are others out there whose fridges held up for a month or two and then the issue came right back even after the replacement of all these components.
@@ShareTheRepair Stand alone ice maker it is. LOL I refuse to ever give Samsung another penny.
Thank you, I just walked up to my fridge that's not working and smacked the control panel and it kicked on. Now i know what needs to be replaced
Good smack! Save some for your significant other…
How do l use a steamer to remove a stucked ice bucket
Stick the nozzle into the ice container through the opening and keep on steaming. The only way.
Nice video man
Hey thank you for the video I did and water just flows nite! Before I did this repair my ice maker was doing ice but didn't dispense it, now no is not making any ice... Please reply if you would. Thanks
If I understood you correctly, your ice maker was making ice just not dispensing? If that is the case, this video was not meant for you. This video is for ice maker not making ice and water not dispensing. Did you verify that you had broken wires before performing this bypass?
@@ShareTheRepair Thank you for your prompt response! Yes I did test the pink wire and was dead, as soon as I made the bridge water flow... What do you think happened with the ice maker that stopped making ice? I found a refurbished LG ice maker ensemble at Amazon very cheap. What do you think?
Really nice video. Going slow and showing things close up is really helpful. Thanks!
Hello, hoping you can still reply to questions regarding this issue. I followed your video step by step and also found the broken cable. I bypassed it just as you showed but I still get no water no ice coming out of the dispenser. I checked voltages coming into and at the top board so I know I have 120V feeding in which I didn't before. I've also replaced the board AT the dispenser for a new one before I even tried the cable. Any thoughts ? Thanks again for a great video, Mitch
You’re gone have to dig in that wiring harness and see if there are more broken wires. You may try placing the ice maker into service mode and see if ice maker reacts. Other then that, not much more I can offer without physically observing the problem unfortunately.
@@ShareTheRepair Again, great video. I went back and made sure all connections were made correctly. Now all is good, must have missed a step. Thank you !
Thank you! I’m glad it helped you as well!
Thanks. My fridge 3RS769DHSS had someone come to repair pulled it apart and said the fan motors are gone and they can’t get parts. Ordered genuine on eBay found and replaced for fridge and freezer sedition. Now the fans work, but fridge / freezer won’t drop in temp. Where used to least stay frozen or fridge would remain cold. Not sure what they have done and tried the OF OFF codes….any thoughts what they might have done?
Hey, missed your comment but your problem is not an easy one to diagnose with the limited amount of information. Is the compressor running and unit not cooling? Is the condenser fan motor running and cooling the condenser and compressor? Is your inverter board showing an error code? If compressor is running, you need gauges and bullet piercing valve to check sealed system. Are you experiencing a freon leak? Is your system restricted? If you have a 3 way valve, has the valve failed? A lot of things come into play when the fridge stops cooling.
Thank you sir …. Great video This is my second issue with a Samsung fridge …. At least your repairs are cheaper than a new fridge..
are these part under warranty?
They may be depending on the age of your unit. Best way to find out is to contact Samsung directly and provide your model and serial number.
My red light on the right side doesn't fash at all doses that mean both of them not working or possibly not getting power. ?
