Why is my LG GS74SDS Refrigerator icemaker not making enough ice?
- R
  ramosstephenAug 21, 2025
  If your LG Refrigerator's icemaker isn't making enough ice, consider these potential causes: 1. The demand might exceed the ice storage capacity. The icemaker typically produces about 70-210 cubes in 24 hours. 2. Ensure the house water supply is properly connected, the valve is fully open, and not clogged. 3. A water filter replacement is recommended approximately every six months. 4. The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi (138 - 827 kPa) on models without a water filter and between 40 and 120 psi (276 – 827 kPa) on models with a water filter. 5. Check the freezer temperature; the recommended setting for normal ice production is 0°F. 6. Ensure that the doors are closed completely.

Why is my LG GS74SDS Refrigerator and Freezer section not cooling?

  Alicia PayneAug 23, 2025
  If your LG Refrigerator or Freezer section isn't cooling, first ensure that the refrigerator control is turned ON. If the refrigerator is set to Demo Mode, refer to the FAQs or the Setting the Controls section of this manual for instructions on how to disable Demo Mode. If the refrigerator is in the defrost cycle, wait 30 minutes after the cycle is completed and check the temperature again. If the refrigerator was recently installed or relocated, allow up to 24 hours for it to reach the desired temperature. If relocated, ensure the refrigerator stood upright for 24 hours before connecting it to power.

Why is ice not dispensing from my LG GS74SDS?
- B
  Brian GonzalezAug 25, 2025
  If ice is not dispensing from your LG Refrigerator, ensure that all doors are completely closed. Check the ice bin for ice cubes clumping or sticking together due to infrequent use. If the delivery chute is clogged with frost or ice fragments, remove the ice bin and clear the chute with a plastic utensil. Also, check if the dispenser display is locked and unlock it by pressing and holding the Lock button for three seconds. If the ice bin is empty, it may take up to 90 minutes for additional ice to be available.

Why is my LG GS74SDS cooling system running too much?
- J
  Jennifer GuerreroAug 27, 2025
  Several factors can cause your LG Refrigerator's cooling system to run excessively. Modern refrigerators often require more operating time due to their efficient technology. If the refrigerator was recently plugged in or the power was restored, it can take up to 24 hours to cool completely. Frequent door openings or adding large amounts of food, especially hot food, can also increase cooling time. Ensure the doors are closed completely and that the refrigerator is not installed in a hot location (above 110°F). A clogged condenser or back cover can also cause this issue; clean it with a vacuum cleaner attachment. To conserve energy, minimize door openings, organize food for easy access, and promptly close the door.

  Tracie GrayAug 28, 2025
  Several factors can affect ice production in your LG Refrigerator. The demand may exceed the ice storage capacity, as the icemaker produces approximately 70-120 cubes in 24 hours. Ensure your refrigerator is connected to a cold water supply with adequate pressure and that the water shutoff valve is fully open. A depleted water filter, low water supply pressure, a kinked water supply line, or a freezer temperature set too warm (the recommended temperature is 0°F) can also be causes. If you have a reverse osmosis filtration system, refer to the Water Pressure section. Lowering the refrigerator temperature and reducing how often you open the doors can help.

What to do if LG GS74SDS or Freezer section is too warm?
- A
  Alyssa ClarkeAug 29, 2025
  If your LG Refrigerator or freezer section is too warm, it may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to reach the desired temperature after installation. Check for blocked air vents and ensure they are free from obstructions. Reduce the frequency and duration of door openings. Allow hot food to cool before placing it in the refrigerator. Make sure the doors are closing correctly. Refer to the Setting the Controls section for proper temperature settings. If the defrost cycle has recently completed, wait 30 minutes to see if the proper temperature is restored.

Why is water not dispensing from my LG GS74SDS Refrigerator?
- C
  cardenasaaronAug 30, 2025
  If water is not dispensing from your LG Refrigerator, ensure the refrigerator is properly connected to the water supply and the shutoff valve is fully open. If it's a new installation or the water line was recently connected or the water filter has been recently replaced or removed, dispense 2.5 gallons of water to remove trapped air and contaminants. Check if the dispenser panel is locked and unlock it by pressing and holding the Lock button for three seconds. Also, make sure that the refrigerator or freezer doors are closed properly. Inspect the tubing connecting the refrigerator to the house supply valve for any kinks and straighten them out.

  David MasonSep 1, 2025
  If your LG Refrigerator or Freezer section is too warm, it might be because the refrigerator was recently installed (allow 24 hours to reach the desired temperature). Check for blocked air vents and ensure proper airflow by moving any obstructing packages. Reduce how often and how long you open the doors. Make sure that the unit is not installed in a hot location (above 110°F). Allow hot food to cool before placing it in the refrigerator and make sure that the doors are closed correctly. Adjust the temperature control one increment at a time and wait for the temperature to stabilize. If the defrost cycle has recently completed, wait 30 minutes for the temperature to restore.

Why is my LG GS74SDS dispensing warm water?
- L
  Lindsey DunnSep 2, 2025
  If your LG Refrigerator is dispensing warm water, allow 24 hours after installation for the water storage tank to cool. If the dispenser has been used recently and the storage tank was exhausted, remember that the water storage capacity will range from approximately 20 to 30 oz, depending on your model. If the dispenser hasn't been used for several hours, discard the first 10 oz. Also, make sure that the refrigerator is connected to a cold water pipe.
