What's Happening
The fan that blows cold air across the ice maker isn't working. This stops ice production because the ice maker can't reach the temperature needed to freeze water. Ice buildup around the fan from a defrost problem is the most common cause.
How to Fix It
Check for ice buildup around the fan in the ice maker compartment. If frozen over, a defrost problem is likely causing it — clear the ice and monitor. If the fan motor itself is dead, it needs replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does IF mean on an LG refrigerator?
IF indicates the ice maker fan motor has failed or is blocked. This fan blows cold air across the ice maker to help freeze water into ice.
Why did my LG fridge stop making ice with an IF error?
The ice maker fan circulates cold air needed for ice production. Without it, the ice maker can't reach freezing temperatures even though the rest of the freezer is cold.
How do I fix the IF error on my LG fridge?
Check for ice around the fan in the ice maker area. Clear any ice buildup. If the fan is clear but doesn't spin, the motor needs replacement.
