We have LG LRMDC2306S. During first month we’ve had 4 service visits for craft ice maker not working. Each service call reveals the water feed line to the ice maker is frozen solid although the freezer temp is set at +4F. We added two thermometers into the freezer that log temp and they both show 4F so temp sensor is good. Does the craft ice maker line have a heater/defrost? Latest tech wants to switch out water feed line but by this point we have zero confidence LG know how to build a fridge.
It might do a bit more than just make ice. Besides, a mold is good when you are by yourself or have another person. I'd like something like this for larger parties.
Only way to make clear ice is directional freezing. That's why the freezing process is that slow - no way around it without having a special freezing contact surface like a professional ice making setup. Just have to expose half the sphere to freezer temp more than the other half. Would love to hear from LG about which direction they are freezing from: 1) insulate the top, but leave an air gap in the mold (hence the slightly flat sided spheres in this video), and let it freeze bottom up? Or 2) leave the top open, freeze top down, but kick the cube along with a splash of water (containing the impurities) before freezing is complete. Without knowing which, I wouldn't trust this could make clear ice consistently.
@@JarrettWilliams99same I want to update my parents fridge for them but it’s so hard researching for a good reliable one. They don’t make them how they use to in the 90s
All good sales points on the advantages of cubes, however, I still have a few questions. Is this the only size the ice-maker makes is cubes, or is the crushed ice made up from the cubes? How long does it take to make the cubes? How many cubes are made in a batch?
Too bad that the real ice balls don't look like the ones in the videos. Mine have huge dimples on the top and bottom and are clear only on 1/2 the ball. Worst thing is the the craft ice maker won't keep working. Watetr line and the whole ice maker itself were replaced once, now it won't make ice again. Very disappointed.
I'm so sad! I just bought this fridge but it doesn't have craft ice!!! Mine has no door ice, it has bottom drawer ice. Can I get an upgrade done to mine?
Coleman cooler, water, 24hrs, directional freezing and you can make bags of ice in any shape you want and keep the 4k and buy yourself two Pappy 23 yr bourbon bottles for your birthday.
Someone who own this refrigerator & make a review about the craft ice and he said it only make 3 craft ice a day I don’t know if that’s worth my money 😀
The craft ice is pretty, but impractical since it only makes 3 a day! There needs to be a kit to swap it out with a normal ice maker for those who don't booze or have a need for the bigger ice balls.
@@CP-py5gp Yup - and if it had the capacity we needed I'd be good. It doesn't. Since there is already a second ice maker it would be nice if you could swap out the novel but impractical craft icemaker when you could use twice the capacity.
@@DocNo27, so the ice maker in the door that is like all other refrigerators doesn't make enough ice for you? Is there any refrigerator on the market that has two ice makers besides this one? That would be nice but I haven't ever heard of one besides this one.
@@CP-py5gp yes there are others - every manufacturer offers at least two or three models with two, actually. Bought this fridge for just about everything else other than the second ice maker - it would just be nice to have a choice. Good news is even if no officially supported it does look like you can swap it - if the ice makers ever come in stock.
@@CP-py5gp Don't get me wrong - I love the in the door ice maker on the LG - it free's up a ton of space in the fridge. The trade off is the ice bin is at least half the size - on top of the icemaker itself not churning out as much ice it can be an issue, especially in the summer. Which is why if the ice maker in the freezer could pick up the slack it would be a welcome bonus. At three cubes a day the craft icemaker is just not that useful if you have a family that consumes a lot of ice.
I bought a countertop ice machine for clear ice. its a real pain and required constant meticulous cleaning. LG HAS SOLVED ONE OF MANKIND'S MOST PRESSING PROBLEMS!!
I'd prefer bar-quality pebble ice to these big spheres, but I guess it doesn't really matter since the typical LG fridge fails after a couple of years anyway.
Wouldn’t these be easier for a child to choke on once they’ve melted down a bit. Seems to me being primarily round In shape, it would perfectly close off the wind pipe. At about the age of seven my brother had an ice cube lodged in his throat. It was rectangular so it did not totally cut off his air supply, he was fine after my father dislodged it. Have also heard many stories of dogs choking on round objects. Hate to sound negative but I would be carful with these especially with children.
Don't serve the kids scotch on the rocks and it should be alright. In all seriousness though, any ice that gets into a throat, while they may choke temporarily will melt enough to be dislodged.
Buyer Beware! Bought one of these and the ice stopped making ice. Did all the resets, contacted LG support - still not able to work. Biggest waste of money.
@@graceseekers268 If you want ICE to actually be in your freezer you need to not look at LG! Unless you're going to use ice trays Like we have had to resort to doing. Pathetic.....
It is INSANELY slow...And this guy is a bar tender? What type of parties does he tend...Those that are solo? Imagine how many ice balls you need for just 14 people!! You would be out of ice FAST. I have a LG fridge I love, and it has DUAL ice makers...and that is super nice for large groups.
Hey LG, I am likely still going to buy your product, however. If you are going to present the beauty of your "CRAFT" Ice maker and a demonstration.... maybe use filtered water? No one wants to see floaties up close in the product's flagship marketing piece. Geez guys.
Purchased a refrigerator 3 years ago and like a lot of people who were part of the class action lawsuit our refrigerator stopped working. 3 years? That is absolutely unacceptable. I cannot and will not ever recommend LG products. Oh and if they even cover the food loss which they probably wont they will offer you a fraction of what you lost and call it a customer "courtesy". What a joke
My leg just quit after 4 years, I so angry I missed the cut off for the class action lawsuit. Lost a lot of food and still have to purchase another refrigerator.🤬😡🤯
This is hysterical! Your POS refrigerator barely make any ice, now you want to try making 'fancy ice' How about create a $3,000+ refrigerator that makes ice faster then a $75 counter top appliance..
Do you not understand that the craft ice maker is an ADDITIONAL ICE MAKER in this refrigerator??? There is a "regular" ice maker like all refrigerators have, in the DOOR of this refrigerator. This refrigerator has TWO ICE MAKERS.
Two things: 1. Melting slower means it is not cooling your drink as fast. 2. Who is going to be the first to sue lg when that iceberg rills down the glass and smacks them in the top lip?
Not sure if it was mentioned in the video or not but incase you were wondering he's talking about LG's craft ice

“Three or Six”
Really? That alone makes the ice seem premium already.
Makes up too 30 in the tray so assuming you don’t use every day it will build up 🤷♀️
I don't know man. The mold is like $10. That fridge is like $3300.
