[LG Refrigerator] What to Do If Water or Ice Isn’t Dispensing (Water Tank Model)

Troubleshooting Freezers, Refrigerators 11/08/2026

<div class="content-service-view">
<p class="info-desc">
If water or ice isn't dispensing from your LG refrigerator that uses a
water tank (without a plumbing connection), first check that the water
tank is properly filled.<br/>
Also, check if the refrigerator temperature is set too low, causing the
water in the tank to freeze, or if the ice bin is already full, which
pauses ice production.

<h2 class="tit">What to Check if Water or Ice Isn't Dispensing</h2>

<h3 class="sub-tit">Check the Water Tank Level and Condition</h3>

<li>
Fill the water tank with clean, filtered water up to the MAX line.
</li>

<li>
If there is any debris or residue inside the tank, water flow may be
blocked even if the tank appears full.<br/>
Clean the tank thoroughly before reinstalling it.
</li>
</ul>

<h3 class="sub-tit">Check the Refrigerator Temperature</h3>

<li>
If the refrigerator temperature is set too low, the water inside the
tank may freeze, preventing water or ice from dispensing.
</li>

<li>
Adjust the refrigerator to an appropriate temperature and arrange food
items so cold air can circulate properly.
</li>
</ul>

<h3 class="sub-tit">Check if the Ice Bin Is Full</h3>

<li>
When the ice bin is full, the refrigerator automatically pauses ice
production.
</li>

<li>
If the bin is full, empty it and check if ice production resumes.
</li>
</ul>

<li>
Only use clean, filtered water in the water tank. Do not add beverages
or other liquids, as this may clog the system and prevent water from
dispensing.
</li>
</ul>
