AEQ73130004 - LG Refrigerator Ice Maker

The AEQ73130004 (also known as the LG Refrigerator Ice Maker) is a genuine part manufactured by LG. This ice maker is compatible with various LG refrigerator models. Sometimes referred to as an ice cube maker or ice generator, this part plays a crucial role in your appliance's functionality.

The ice maker operates through a combination of mechanical, electrical, and thermal processes. When you activate it, the valve opens to allow water to flow into the ice mold. The freezer's cool temperature then freezes this water into ice cubes. Once formed, a heating element in the ice mold warms the mold slightly, loosening the ice cubes for easy ejection. A motor-driven ejection arm pushes the ice cubes into an ice bin or tray. This process is coordinated by various sensors and control mechanisms, including temperature sensors and switches that detect when the ice bin is full.

If your refrigerator is not making ice, dispensing ice irregularly, or the ice tastes peculiar, it may indicate that the ice maker (AEQ73130004) needs replacement.

Before purchasing this part, please verify your refrigerator's model number for compatibility. This ensures you obtain the correct part for your appliance, maintaining its functionality and efficiency.
