Introdução
Use this guide to replace the ice maker blower assembly in your LG refrigerator.
This guide will work for most LG refrigerators. This guide is written with an LG model LFX25973 refrigerator. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same.
The ice maker blower assembly blows cold air from the freezer compartment near the evaporator to the ice maker compartment in the left refrigerator door.
If the ice maker blower assembly fails, you will likely see no ice production from your in-door ice maker, and there will be no ice dispensed.
