AEQ73130002 - LG Refrigerator Ice Maker

The AEQ73130002 (AEQ73130002) is a genuine part manufactured by LG. This part is an ice maker, designed for use in LG refrigerators. It is sometimes referred to as an ice cube maker or an automatic ice maker.

The ice maker operates through a combination of mechanical, electrical, and thermal processes. It comprises several key components, including an ice mold, a heating element, and a motor-driven ejection arm. When you activate your ice maker, it signals the valve to open and allow water to flow into the ice mold. The freezer's temperature then initiates a cooling process, causing the water to freeze into ice cubes. Once the ice cubes are formed, the heating element within the ice mold is briefly activated, loosening the ice cubes for easy ejection. The motor-driven ejection arm then pushes the ice cubes into an ice bin or tray.

This part is also equipped with various sensors and control mechanisms, including temperature sensors and switches that detect when the ice bin is full. These components ensure the ice is properly frozen and prevent the overfilling of the ice bin.

If your refrigerator's ice maker is failing to produce ice or the ice cubes are not ejecting properly, it may be time to consider replacing this part.

Before purchasing the AEQ73130002, please verify that this part is compatible with your LG refrigerator model number.
