All Installation Instructions for LG Refrigerator LNXS30996D

Ice Maker Quit Making Ice

For this model the ice maker is very easy to replace. All it takes is a phillips head screwdriver. There are two wire connections you have to unplug. Easy out easy in. You do not have to disconnect the water line, just make sure the line is lined up correctly when you reinstall the new icemaker. It seems to take approximately 8 hours before you start getting ice again. If you have this same model, you already know this ice maker is very slow in making ice and is not able to keep up with daily usage of ice for a household of 3.

The Ice Maker from Part Select was complete. Plastic housing, Ice maker located at the top and ice cruncher/dispenser at the bottom.
Note: Both the ice maker and the dispenser wiring goes to a common connecter. It is not advisable to plan changing out only one of these.

Ice chute would not open.

Removed ice dispenser and display with small screwdriver from front of the fridge. Pried out the whole piece slowly. This exposed the motor that activates the chute. Plugged in the new motor before any removal to verify the motor was the problem. When it worked, removed old and installed new. 3 screws. Piece of cake.

Intermittent ice flow

Very Intuitive.
Removed ice cube holder.
Removed all visible screws or fasteners paying attention to size, length and location.
With wiring and connectors exposed, I disconnected those and was now ready to install new ice maker in reverse order.
Once reassembled it took approximately 2 hrs to start making ice.
I found part installation to be really quiet easy.

In Door Ice Bin with built-in ice dispenser drive wheel gear broke when dispensing the ice.

I replaced the whole self-contained unit. I removed the old ice bin simply by lifting it out of the door and replacing it with a new one directly under the ice maker. It was a simple fix; no tools or service tech were required.
