If your LG ice maker is not working then we would recommend you to go check if the water supply is in great condition or not. Once you are sure that the water supply is not an issue then you need to first turn on the unit and then reset the ice maker to solve the issue.
There are two ways to reset the unit. Each method is slightly different than the other but the overall procedure is identical. Depending on the type of your unit or tray, perform the steps prescribed by us.

LG ice maker troubleshooting reset
To reset the icemaker with a twist or flex tray, you need to perform the following steps:
- Make sure that the ice maker was turned on. You would find the power on and off button on the left side of your unit. If the button was off then simply turn it on and wait for 24 hours so that the machine starts producing the ice.
- When you make sure that the ice maker was on and still there was nothing frozen in the tray, you should consider resetting the process.
- Make sure that all the water supply is functional and nothing is blocking its way.
- Once the water supply is checked, press, and hold the test/fill button on the unit. Until you sense that the cycle got started.
- You will hear the water filling up in the mold.
- Wait for 24 hours at least to see if the unit produces the ice cube or not.
Heater or custom cube
For the ice makers with the custom cube, here is the procedure to reset the unit:
- Make sure that the ice maker was turned on. You would find the power on and off button on the left side of your unit. If the button was off then simply turn it on and wait for 24 hours so that the machine starts producing the ice.
- If the unit was on and still nothing was happening then you should reset it.
- This model does not contain a straightforward reset button. Instead, you will find a small hole on the left side. Insert a pin in the hole and press and hold it for a minimum of 3 seconds.
- The cycle will start immediately.
- Note that during the initial installation, the ice maker takes 2 hours to reset. To reset it again, unplug the refrigerator for 30 minutes and then replug it again to reset.
- After the reset, your ice maker will take 24 hours to produce frosty cubes.
Things to keep in mind:
- Place a towel underneath the tray to absorb the remaining water and ice in the tray.
- Checking the ice maker’s functionality is necessary before resetting the unit.
- See if the motor runs properly after the reset. A faulty motor would mean that you will need a technician to help your cause.
- Before resetting any ice maker, the water supply must be checked to ensure that the unit receives water to freeze.
