What it usually means when your LG ice maker is slow ice production

This ice maker symptom usually points to water flow, temperature, or module issues.

When an ice maker stops producing ice, the issue is usually water supply, a failed ice maker module, or a control/sensor problem.

If ice is made but not dispensed, the issue is usually mechanical — auger motor, dispenser door, or switch failure.

Small or hollow ice cubes almost always indicate low water flow into the ice maker mold.

Ice maker leaks are usually caused by overfilling, cracked molds, or water valve issues.

Bad tasting ice is usually caused by an old filter, stagnant water, or contamination inside the ice maker system.
