AEQ73110210 - LG Refrigerator ice maker

This LG Refrigerator Ice Maker (AEQ73110210) is a genuine part manufactured by LG, specifically designed for use in select LG and Kenmore bottom-freezer refrigerators to ensure reliability and performance. It's compatible with an array of models including Kenmore 79570322311, 79570323312, and various models in the LFX and LMXS series from LG.

The ice maker incorporates a comprehensive mechanism featuring an ice mold, heating element, and a motor-driven ejection arm to create ice cubes. It begins by receiving water from the water inlet valve into the ice mold, where the freezer's cooling action freezes the water into cubes. Once the ice is formed, a brief activation of the heating element loosens the cubes, followed by the ejection arm pushing them out into a bin or tray. This part is also known as an ice maker assembly and includes the mold and control device to ensure a seamless ice-making process.

Signs that this ice maker may need replacement include erratic ice cube production, smaller than normal ice cubes, or a complete halt in ice production, which could indicate a malfunction within the ice-making mechanism or a blockage in the system.

Before purchasing, make sure to check your refrigerator's model number to confirm compatibility with this essential part.
