Additional Information

The AEQ73110205 Ice Maker Assembly is an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) replacement part responsible for the production of ice in certain LG and Kenmore refrigerators. It typically includes a motor that rotates the ice tray for filling and a heater to loosen the ice cubes during harvest. A thermostat is also present to monitor the temperature and initiate the ice ejection process. When troubleshooting an ice maker that is not producing ice, common issues may include a faulty water inlet valve, a defective ice maker assembly, or a clogged water filter. Before installation, ensure that the refrigerator is unplugged and the water supply is turned off. It's also recommended to check and align the fill cup and ensure that the water chute is clear of any blockages. After installation, the first few batches of ice should be discarded to ensure that any debris from the installation process is cleared out.
