where was the test button?

@@tinasaland4403 Stop at 1:19 . The test button is on the bottom near the front left. See those two parallel lines on the bottom left front at 1:19 and 1:20. The button is right between them. It is right above the "P" in their "Repair Clinic" logo at 1:20.

My Automatic Shut Off Arm seems to be stuck in the UP position so the ice maker thinks the bucket is full of ice. It will not continue to make ice. Please help. Thanks.

@@bhealy18 i think this is my issue as well.

This is more helpful than the video itself. Thank you, I got mine working again.

Thanks!

I searched all over for this info. Thanks for saving me a tech support call/visit.

That's great! Congrats on the repair.

I am thanking you now! Thank you.

Thanking you now also!!!

Thanking you later! I was baffled why it was not working. Now, I know. 🙂

So after pressing it and it fills with water does it still take about 24 hours for it to cycle automatically?

Did it work?

my parents just bought one and does it need a water line on this type of refrigerator? and the ice maker do we have to do something before turning on ? please help

Literally the exact same problem I'm running into now. So frustrating. I just replaced my ice maker and calibrated it. Waiting to see if any ice is automatically dispensed

Same problem here. I don't know much of anything about ice makers but my guess is a sensor is broke

any luck with it not freezing again? mine done 3 times and I hate this refrigerator

Hi!!! I think both numbers are the for same ice maker, some times the manufacturer changes the last digit, it goes up one number, why they do it ?? I guess they do it, when new batches of ice makers are manufactured, that is what I think. Cheers

it is. read above my comment.

Mine has done this for years, have you figured it out?

Same issue

@@omarsanti79 this was the solve for me.

Valve or ice maker?

@@omarsanti79 valve was the issue.

I do appreciate you taking the time to respond from a 2 yr old post. Thank you.

Thanks to RepairClinic for this helpful video. I had a similar issue but using parts of this video I was able to troubleshoot. In our case we have a LG bottom drawer freezer with ice maker inside that. We went on vacation for a week so we turned off the water to the house. When we came back the ice maker was not working. I tried checking the water feed lines on the back of the refrigerator and everything was clear but did discover that there is a water reservoir 'tray' at the bottom rear of the refrigerator and it was overfilling with water because the ice maker was trying to make ice but the water was backing up and overflowing at the back of the refrigerator and dripping down the rear panel of refrigerator into the tray. After following this video and removing the ice maker/tray unit, I could see that the water feed outlet just above the ice tray was frozen solid. Before that I had tried running a hair dryer into the back water inlet at the rear of the refrigerator where it feeds ice maker (also after removing the feed piping and gasket that runs to the ice tray) but it is a long ways to the end of the tube to get to the water outlet. Back inside the freezer ice tray I was going to run the hair dryer on it for a bit to melt the frozen clog but just tried pushing up with a screwdriver onto the ice blockage and it popped right off and a small trickle of water came down. It runs fine now.

My AEQ72909603 ice tray cracked so I recently bought a refurbished AEQ72909602 assembly for $60. Once the replacement was installed the arm wouldn't work so.... I just popped the ice tray out and put it into my assembly. It fit perfectly and works great. Of course there was nothing wrong with the motor of my ice maker, just the cracked tray.

Jim , did you ever get an answer? I just got my new LG and the arm stays in the UP position so the ice maker thinks bucket is full. Please reply ASAP. Thanks - Brian

Look at S1ayeR response above, mine was the same way, but press and holding the reset button under the L front of the ice maker resulted in the ice maker cycling through a cycle which includes the arm going down then up, the cube part rotating. Ice started forming over the next few hours. If you have a bottom freezer the button can only felt for or seen with a mirror.

Brian Healy: try to remove as described, clean it, dry in. Maybe ice is making problem, make sure you have in the bottom box space, and its right side, there is a hole in top of the box at upper left side. Where the arm moves.

S1ayeR Thank you!
