Installation & Compatibility

  • Compatible Models: Specific model compatibility should be verified against the refrigerator's model number by consulting the manufacturer's specifications or documentation.
  • Installation Difficulty: Medium — Requires unplugging the refrigerator and involves handling delicate components. Electrical and water connections might be necessary.
  • Tools Required: Basic hand tools such as a screwdriver and work gloves are recommended for safety.

Additional Information

Ice maker AEQ73130004 is a crucial component for maintaining a steady supply of ice within your LG refrigerator. If your ice cubes appear smaller than usual, consider replacing the refrigerator's water filter to ensure optimal water flow and ice production. You can find an appropriate water filter using the Sears Water Filter Finder.

For safety during installation: - Securely store perishable food items to prevent spoilage. - Wear work gloves to protect your hands and ensure grip when handling the ice maker. - Ensure the appliance is unplugged to mitigate any risk of electric shock.

Should you encounter common issues like slow ice production or no ice, checking the water supply line and the condition of the filter could resolve these problems. Regular maintenance and prompt replacement of aging components contribute to the longevity and efficiency of the ice maker.

Reviews

I have to buy this part to fit the ice machine
August 12, 2023

The ice machine works good until it quits. We bought a new part in February. Then that one went bad in 6 months! We thought it had a guarantee for a year but was told it was only for 90 days! If I have to keep buying the part every 6 months then maybe I should get a different refrigerator.

Great part customer service is lacking

The ice maker was exactly what I expected. Said it would be delivered by a specific date and wasn't shipped until the night before. Arrived 2 days late.

Part Worked, No Install Direction
June 15, 2022

I installed the icemaker and it is making ice. However, no installation directions were insluded with the icemaker, and Sears Parts Direct had no relevant videos on its website. I tried chatting with a live agent, but they could not direct me to any posted directions on the website. I eventually had to go to YouTube to find a video of a similar, but not exact, icemaker installation. Part was great, support not so great.

Right part!

Very pleased with the service. I got the correct part for my model. Although there weren't any installation instructions, there are many helpful videos on the Internet.

Got it done!
August 12, 2021

We did manage to get it installed and working. However, many of the illustrations I printed on-line beforehand to see how difficult self installation would be did not match the printed instructions that came with the ice-maker. And the printed instructions showed pictures that did not match how our freezer actually looked. It took more than 20 minutes to install-----closer to 40 or 45 minutes. But we would have had to wait almost a month to schedule the installation, plus I'm sure the service charge would have been substantial. But as I said, we got it done!
