LG Refrigerator Ice Maker Overflowing in Palm Harbor: A Damaged Fill Cup
- Symptom
- Ice maker overflowing with water.
- Cause
- Damaged ice maker fill cup.
- Fix
- Replaced the complete ice maker assembly and tested it.
A client in Palm Harbor called about their LG refrigerator (model LRMDC2306S) — the ice maker was overflowing with water.
A damaged fill cup
The ice maker fills with a measured amount of water each cycle through a fill cup before it freezes into cubes. That fill cup was damaged, so water was overflowing instead of being properly measured out and frozen.
Replacing the whole assembly
With the fill cup damaged, the ice maker assembly needed to be replaced as a whole unit.
Result
With the new ice maker installed, everything was tested and is working properly — no more overflow. If your LG refrigerator’s ice maker is spilling water instead of making ice, a damaged fill cup is worth having checked. See our refrigerator repair page for what else we typically look at.
