Wow! 4 official LG videos, manuals and websites later and I was resigned to calling out a technician! Found your video and 5 mins later, problems solved! Many thanks 😊
Thank you for this. It really helped but all I did was run the test cycle a few times and it now works. I'm not sure the rest of the procedure is needed. 🙂
I just pull my tank out to fill it up with water, however we have a Hisense American fridge freezer non plumbed and it constantly refuses to make ice 🤔
had the same problem. I figured the water line was frozen so I defrosted the freezer. It seemed to have a lot of ice on the shelves and food from outside air condensation (I live in the humid amazon jungle). I think it is more likely this same airlock problem..will test this out now.
Thank you so much, we didnt use our fridge for over a month because we couldnt find a way to repare it! After calling the company and searching for solutions your video has helped us so quickly. Thanks
Thanks very much, Michael, for this simple but effective solution. This evening my wife had to suffer a G+T without ice because our LG fridge-freezer had no ice after I had refilled the water tank two days ago. With your advice, it took five minutes to fix. I blew through the pipe going into the tank, replaced the tank, and water flowed a minute later. Like yours, there was nothing wrong with the ice-maker itself, and water flowed into it as normal. Pro-sites stating the most common problems with the ice-maker did not mention an airlock. You are several steps ahead of them!
Michael, I just fixed my fridge using this method! I did have to pull apart the two tubes under the fridge and reconnect them for it to finally come through but it's working like a dream now. Thanks so much!!!
Thank Michael. My fridge stopped producing ice, so I looked on LG's website and didn't find much help in solving this problem. I then found your video and bingo, problem solved! Such a simple solution and easy to do. Thank you for making this simple video. Very helpful indeed.
Thank you so much for this clear video! Our water and ice dispenser has been "broken" for weeks and I feared the cost and hassle of a technician call-out, but thanks to you it seems to be working perfectly again. So grateful!
Writing this note from the Caribbean island - Trinidad. Thank you sooo very much for making this video!!! I was able to “fix” my ice maker because your freezer is similar to mine.. but my water is plumbed. The ice maker would randomly stop making ice.. followed your steps except for the water container part and voila!!! Success!! 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much Michael for showing me the hidden reset button! I had already used my hairdryer to help melt the ice that was stuck in a lump and blocking the exit tunnel - but having cleared everything I found the water was not refilling the ice cube tray despite the ice dispenser part revolving and working perfectly. I googled and finally came across your video which showed that truly well hidden reset button. It worked like a dream the very first time! If I may, I'd like to add a suggestion to fellow ice lovers ... if your ice use is more seasonal i.e. loads in the summer months but tapering off in autumn - then consider turning off your ice maker intermittently which should help the unused ice from sticking together into a lump that can then cause a blockage. I meant to follow my own advice but was away for the whole of September and forgot to empty the ice maker and subsequently came back to an iceberg. Huge thanks to Michael for the reset.
Thank you for this video! I have a simile fridge, except the fridge door has another door just to access canned drinks. Initially followed your video but no water was dispensing. With prayer and a clean pinkie finger, I removed the water tank, then jabbed the rubber hole a few times hoping to release whatever vacuum was in there. Water dispensed thereafter! Thank you for making this video!!!

Absolutely identical to the problem I had! Fixed in in 2 minutes, thanks to you! You are a dead-set legend, Michael!

Thank you! Now got it working again. Never thought I'd miss the sound of the icemaker working!!
