How to turn off ice maker on LG side by side refrigerator?
To turn off the ice maker on your LG LSC27910SW side-by-side refrigerator, move the icemaking stop switch on the ice maker to OFF. To start making ice again, switch it back to ON; the ice maker won’t run until the freezer is cold enough.
Where the OFF/ON switch is and what to expect
On the LSC27910SW, the control is a physical switch on the ice maker assembly (inside the freezer). After switching ON, the ice maker starts only after it reaches about 15°F (-9°C).
- Open the freezer door and locate the ice maker.
- Find the icemaking stop switch on the ice maker.
- Flip the switch to OFF to stop ice production.
- Flip the switch to ON to resume ice production.
- If the refrigerator was just installed, allow about 12 hours to begin making ice.
For the exact switch location and the ON/OFF illustration, use the LSC27910SW owner's manual.
Quick troubleshooting if it still makes ice (or stops unexpectedly)
If you switched the ice maker OFF but still see a few cubes drop, that is usually leftover water freezing in the mold. If it keeps producing ice, check these common causes:
- The switch was not fully moved to OFF.
- The ice bin is being jostled and triggering cube release.
- The freezer temperature is fluctuating from frequent door openings.
- The ice maker is not seated correctly after cleaning.
What “normal” looks like
| Situation | What you’ll see | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Switch turned OFF | Ice production stops; a few cubes may drop later | Wait a few hours and recheck bin |
| Switch turned ON | No ice until freezer is cold enough | Give it time; keep door closed |
| Bin full | Ice making stops automatically | Empty bin if you want more ice |
Safety note (important)
Avoid putting fingers near the ejector mechanism or heater while the refrigerator is plugged in.
Why it matters
Turning the ice maker OFF helps prevent clumped ice, reduces water use, and is the right step when you’re troubleshooting dispenser or water supply issues.

What is the price of LG side by side refrigerator 550 ltr?
A new LG side-by-side refrigerator in the 550-liter class typically sells in a mid-range price band that varies by country, finish, and features; for the LG LSC27910SW specifically, we focus on keeping replacement parts available so you can extend the life of the refrigerator instead of replacing it. For model-specific details and features, use the LSC27910SW owner's manual.
What affects the price most
- Region and retailer pricing (U.S. pricing differs from India pricing)
- Finish and dispenser features (ice and water in the door usually costs more)
- Energy efficiency rating and compressor design
- Delivery, installation, and haul-away fees
- Promotions and seasonal sales timing
If you are comparing “replace vs repair”
For an LG side-by-side like the LSC27910SW, replacing a few common wear parts can restore performance at a fraction of the cost of a new 550 L refrigerator.
| Need | Common symptom | Example part for LSC27910SW |
|---|---|---|
| Better tasting water, stronger flow | Slow dispenser, odd taste/odor | LG lt500p refrigerator water filter ADQ72910911 |
| Fix dispenser or ice maker water supply issues | No water to dispenser/ice maker | Refrigerator water inlet valve 5221JA2006D |
| Stop warm temps from poor airflow | Warm fridge section, uneven cooling | Refrigerator evaporator fan motor 4681JB1029A |
Why it matters
A “550 L” label is a capacity class, not a single product. Two LG side-by-side refrigerators with similar liters can differ a lot in compressor type, dispenser setup, and efficiency, which is why prices can vary widely.

What is the size or dimensions of a B257EPZ3?
The model number B257EPZ3 does not match the LG LSC27910SW refrigerator model for this page, so its exact dimensions are not the right spec to use for ordering parts or planning installation for your LSC27910SW. For accurate fit and clearance guidance, use the measurements and installation notes in the LSC27910SW owner's manual.
How to get the right dimensions (and why model match matters)
When dimensions are requested, we always match them to the exact refrigerator model because cabinet width, height, and depth can change across similar-looking LG side-by-side units.
Use these steps:
- Confirm the model number on the refrigerator’s inside wall label (fresh food section) and match it to LSC27910SW.
- Measure width, height, and depth of the cabinet (not including the doors if you are checking doorway fit).
- Measure doorway width and height along the path into the kitchen.
- Plan for extra space so you can pull the refrigerator out for cleaning and service.
- Follow the manual’s placement guidance to avoid reduced cooling performance and higher energy use.
Typical side-by-side refrigerator size ranges (for planning only)
These ranges help with rough planning, but use the manual for the exact LSC27910SW specs.
| Measurement | Typical range for side-by-side refrigerators |
|---|---|
| Width | 32 to 36 inches |
| Height | 65 to 71 inches |
| Depth (cabinet) | 28 to 34 inches |
| Depth (with doors/handles) | 30 to 36+ inches |
Doorway fit and moving tips
Many side-by-side refrigerators require handle removal to fit through tighter doorways.
- Remove refrigerator and freezer door handles if needed (common on LG side-by-side designs).
- Protect floors and door frames; use an appliance dolly and a helper.
- Keep the unit upright to protect the sealed system.
- If you have a water line for the ice maker/dispenser, shut off the water supply before moving.
Why it matters
Correct dimensions prevent delivery and installation problems, protect your water line connection, and help maintain proper airflow around the cabinet so the refrigerator cools efficiently.
