[LG refrigerator with water purifier] [built-in side-by-side refrigerator] Ice is not dispensed from the automatic ice maker.

Troubleshooting

Ice made by the ice maker of the refrigerator with water purifier is kept in the ice storage bucket and will be dispensed by the dispenser when you push the Ice button.
If, however, you have not used the machine for a long time, pieces of ice may gather and clump.
In this case, break the ice lump into pieces so that ice is able to be smoothly dispensed from the ice storage bucket.
In addition, if you have recently installed the refrigerator, wait a while as it may take time to cool down the inside of the refrigerator sufficiently to produce ice.

Causes and Symptoms

  • You have never made ice since you first used the product.
  • You have installed a sink, a water purifier, or a dishwasher.
  • Not enough time has elapsed since the refrigerator was installed.

When the temperature has been reduced sufficiently, the machine will start making ice.
Normally, it takes about 3 hours to completely freeze 20°C water, but the first time after you install the refrigerator it could take 12 hours or more.
