AEQ36756919 - LG Refrigerator Ice Maker

This LG Refrigerator Ice Maker (AEQ36756919) is a genuine part designed for LG refrigerators. It includes the complete ice maker and housing, and may contain multiple parts as indicated in your refrigerator's parts diagram. The ice maker operates by using a combination of mechanical, electrical, and thermal processes to produce ice cubes. The process starts when the valve is signaled to open, allowing water to flow into an ice mold where it is exposed to the freezer's cooling process. Once the ice cubes are formed and the mold is slightly warmed by a heating element, a motor-driven ejection arm pushes the ice cubes out into an ice bin or tray. Additionally, the auger motor will dispense the ice through the refrigerator's dispenser for cubes or crushed ice as needed. The operation is coordinated by sensors and control mechanisms, ensuring the ice is properly frozen and detecting when the bin is full. Maintaining the ice maker, such as regular cleaning and checking for ice blockages, is crucial for its functionality. Symptoms indicating the ice maker may be failing include incomplete ice cube formation, no ice production, or jammed ejection arms. Before purchasing, customers should verify their device's model number for compatibility.
