Most common repairs needed to fix a LG refrigerator
Icemaker Assembly Replacement
The icemaker assembly includes all the components responsible for ice production, such as the motor, gears, and mold. If any part of the assembly is malfunctioning, it may prevent the icemaker from resetting properly. You might notice that the icemaker doesn't cycle or produce ice even after attempting a reset. Inspect the icemaker assembly for any visible signs of wear or damage. If you suspect the icemaker assembly is at fault, schedule an in-home repair appointment through Sears Home Services to have a technician diagnose and replace the faulty assembly, ensuring your icemaker resets and operates correctly.
PCB Replacement
A malfunctioning printed circuit board (PCB) could be the reason your refrigerator icemaker reset is not working. The PCB controls the electronic functions of the icemaker. If the PCB is faulty, it may not send the correct signals to the icemaker, preventing it from resetting. You might notice that the reset button is unresponsive or the icemaker does not start a new cycle after a reset attempt. Diagnosing a PCB can be complex and requires professional expertise.
Water Valve Replacement
The water valve assembly controls the flow of water to the icemaker. If the valve is not functioning correctly, it can prevent water from entering the icemaker, thereby inhibiting the reset process. You might notice that the icemaker doesn't fill with water or begin ice production after a reset attempt. To address this issue, inspect the water valve assembly for any signs of damage or blockages. If you suspect the water valve assembly is at fault, schedule an in-home repair appointment through Sears Home Services to have a technician diagnose and replace the faulty valve.

Diagnosing modern appliances without proper knowledge and training can be difficult.
