Why is my LG LFX25973D not making ice?

  Matthew HartAug 19, 2025
  If your LG refrigerator's icemaker isn't producing ice, it could be due to several reasons. First, if the refrigerator or icemaker was recently connected, allow up to 24 hours for it to start making ice. Ensure the icemaker is turned on by checking the ON/OFF switch. Also, make sure the ice detecting sensor is clean and not obstructed. Check that the refrigerator is properly connected to a water supply and the shutoff valve is fully open. Finally, ensure the icemaker shutoff arm or sensor isn't obstructed, allowing it to move freely.

Why is my LG LFX25973D Refrigerator not dispensing water?

  If your LG refrigerator isn't dispensing water, there are several potential causes. If it's a new installation or the water line was recently connected, dispense 2.5 gallons of water to remove trapped air. Ensure the dispenser panel isn't locked by pressing and holding the Lock button for three seconds. Make sure the dispenser is set for water dispensing by pressing the Water button. Check that all refrigerator doors are closed properly. If the water filter was recently replaced, dispense 2.5 gallons of water. Inspect the tubing connecting the refrigerator to the house supply valve for kinks and straighten them out. Finally, ensure the house water supply is connected, the valve is fully open, and not clogged.

  Scott McgeeAug 23, 2025
  If your LG refrigerator and freezer aren't cooling, check if the refrigerator control is set to OFF and turn it ON. It may be in the defrost cycle, so wait 30 minutes to see if the temperature restores. If recently installed, it can take up to 24 hours to reach the desired temperature. If recently relocated and stored for a long time or moved on its side, let it stand upright for 24 hours before connecting to power.

Why is my LG LFX25973D Refrigerator running too much?
- J
  John NelsonAug 26, 2025
  If your LG refrigerator seems to be running too much, it could be due to a few factors. If it's replacing an older model, modern refrigerators often require more operating time but use less energy. If recently plugged in, it can take up to 24 hours to cool completely. Frequent door openings or adding large amounts of food can also cause this. Ensure doors are closed completely; if not, check the 'Doors will not close completely or pop open' section. Make sure the refrigerator is not installed in a hot location (above 110°F). Lastly, a clogged condenser/back cover can cause this, so clean it with a vacuum cleaner attachment.

Why is my LG LFX25973D or Freezer too warm?

  If your LG refrigerator or freezer is too warm, it could be because it was recently installed, and it may take up to 24 hours to reach the desired temperature. Check if air vents are blocked and rearrange items to allow airflow. Frequent door openings can also cause this, so reduce how often you open the doors. Ensure the unit isn't in a hot location (above 110F). A large amount of food or hot food added to either compartment can affect the temperature; let hot food cool before refrigerating. Make sure the doors are closing correctly, and the temperature control is set correctly. It is also possible that the defrost cycle has recently completed; wait 30 minutes and confirm the proper temperature.

Why is food freezing in my LG Refrigerator?
- B
  Brandi MartinAug 30, 2025
  If food is freezing in your LG refrigerator compartment, it might be because food with high water content is placed near an air vent; rearrange these items. The refrigerator temperature control may be set incorrectly; adjust it one increment at a time and wait for the temperature to stabilize. The refrigerator should not be operated in temperature below 55°F (13°C).

Why is ice forming on food in my LG Freezer?
- R
  Robert FoleySep 1, 2025
  If frost or ice crystals are forming on frozen food in your LG freezer, it might be because the door is opened frequently or for long periods; reduce the frequency and duration of door openings. Also, ensure that the door is closing properly.

Why is there moisture inside my LG LFX25973D Refrigerator?
- J
  Johnny AndersonSep 5, 2025
  If you're noticing moisture buildup inside your LG refrigerator, it could be due to frequent door openings. Try to reduce how often and how long you open the doors. Make sure the doors are closing correctly. Humid weather can also contribute, so try to maintain a reasonable humidity level in your home. It's also possible that the defrost cycle recently completed; wait 30 minutes. Improperly packaged food can also cause moisture, so wipe containers dry and store food in sealed packaging.

  Allison VaughanSep 8, 2025
  If your LG icemaker is not dispensing ice, first ensure that all refrigerator doors are completely closed. Check the ice bin for ice cubes clumping together; break them up if necessary. Clear any frost or ice fragments from the delivery chute using a plastic utensil. Make sure the dispenser display is not locked by pressing and holding the Lock button for three seconds. Finally, ensure the ice bin is not empty and the shutoff arm/sensor is not obstructed.
