Problem
LG icemaker stopped making ice.
Tools
Phillips scredriver, air compressor and electric multi-tester
Repair & Advice
I checked for resistance in the water valve solenoid. The test indicated that the solenoid was not operating within normal numbers. Purchased a new solenoid. While waiting for the part I took the water fill line apart to check for stoppages. The fill line was frozen. I used the air compessor to clear the water line and reassemled the icemaker. It is working like a brand new device. I have not installed the new solenoid.

Problem
Ice maker not making ice in LG fridge
Tools
Screwdriver (Phillips), 1/2 “ open end wrench, small pliers
Repair & Advice
Ice maker not functioning. I checked resistance at coil for water valve. Found open circuit (infinite resistance) therefore I condemned the coil. Ordered replacement water valve. The new part was OEM, & fit perfectly with no hassles. Installation was a breeze. It is so great when I can get an OEM part that fits w/o a struggle !!! Thanks
