Use this guide to replace the upper ice maker assembly in an LG refrigerator model LFX25973.
The upper ice maker provides the ice and the feed mechanism for the through-the-door ice and water dispenser. The assembly includes the upper ice maker, a backing plate, and the ice auger motor which is incorporated into the backing plate.
When it fails, the dispenser will not be able to dispense cubes or crushed ice.
