Upper Ice Maker Replacement

简介

Use this guide to disassemble the upper ice maker assembly to replace the upper ice maker on your LG model LFX25973 refrigerator.

This ice maker provides ice for the through-door dispenser. If it fails, ice will not be available to dispense.

The assembly has both the ice maker and the auger motor. If the ice maker alone fails, you can replace it on the assembly.
