No ice, or ice that never drops into the bucket, usually means the ice maker itself has packed up. Part 5989JQ1001H is the genuine LG ice maker assembly, and it is linked to the number 5989JQ1001D. It is listed for 21 LG fridges in the GC-L197 and GC-P197 ranges, including the GC-L197HFS, GC-L197NFS and GC-P197DPNL, plus the GC-L207BVKV and GC-P207BVKV.

LG ice maker not making ice or not dropping cubes?

The ice maker fills its tray with water, waits for it to freeze, then turns or twists the tray to release the cubes into the bucket below. A small motor, temperature sensing and a way of detecting when the bucket is full all work together inside the assembly. When something fails, you may find an empty bucket, cubes stuck in the tray, a tray that overfills and freezes into a block, or a motor that clicks but never completes a cycle. Check the water supply and filter first, as low flow causes similar symptoms.

Replacing the ice maker

Once the new ice maker is fitted and the power is back on, allow a day or so for the fridge to chill the tray and produce the first batch. Throw out the first few batches of ice.
