Use this guide to replace the freezer ice maker on your 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 freezer ice maker provides a supply of ice stored in your freezer drawer.

When the freezer ice maker malfunctions, you will not have ice available in the ice bucket in the freezer drawer.
