Use this guide to replace the upper ice maker assembly in an LG refrigerator.
This guide will work for most LG refrigerators. This guide is written with an LG model LFX25973 refrigerator. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same.
The upper ice maker provides the ice and the feed mechanism for the through-the-door ice and water dispenser. The assembly includes the upper ice maker, a backing plate, and the ice auger motor which is incorporated into the backing plate.
When it fails, the dispenser will not be able to dispense cubes or crushed ice.
