LG Ice maker tray not turning. This article will provide you with solutions to the problems with your LG ice maker tray. Read the article and find the solution to the turning tray problems.
The ice maker is the most needed part of our kitchen. It consists of an ice tray and a piston. The ice maker collects the water, and then it is poured over the tray.
Water gets frozen slowly. When the ice is completely frozen, the cylindrical piston will drop down all the ice.
The flex tray ice maker comes in a feeler arm or IR sensor. The IR sensor will deliver the sense that ice is ready. So you can dump it.
The feeler arm is the wire in the ice maker, which aids in shutting the ice maker. It comes with a spring at the head of the ice maker.
When the motor gets lifted it produces force to make it move. If the spring gets broken the LG ice maker tray will not turn.

So, to know why the tray is not turning, let’s discuss the two factors.
There may be three possible positions of the tray:
- It is partially tilted for one hour.
- It is partially tilted for more than one hour.
- It may completely upside down.
First of all, check the position of the tray of the ice maker to find a solution.
Partially tilted position
Suppose the tray is partially tilted for one hour. Then it is easy to fix. Water is filled in the tray and the cold air pass through it. Then about half an hour later the tray may slide partially.
Tilted for more than one hour
If the tray gets tilted for more than one hour then the ice maker needs to be reset.
There is an on/off button on the left side of the ice maker. Check this button.
If it is off then switch it on. It will take 24 hours to start the production of ice.
But what if it is On? So, let’s reset it.
How to reset it?
Press the test button.
Put a cloth or towel and remove all the water-filled from it.
Dry the tray, refill, and let it freeze.
Completely upside-down position
It is an alarming situation. If the ice maker is turned completely upside-down, this position will not make ice. It means that you have to repair it.
