LG AEQ73110205 Genuine OEM Ice Maker Assembly for LG Refrigerators, White

OEM Ice maker, fit as a replacement. I had to reposition the heater assembly to match my old ice maker. I also noticed that when the ice bin is full ( I believe) the tray does not return to full horizontal position. After trying to learn about it on LG service website, I looked a the ice maker again and there was a small sticker that said this is normal. The original did return to full horizontal. I also had to leave one mounting screw loose because when I tightened it, it distorted the assembly.

NOTE: THIS IS THE 6 WIRE (10-PIN PLUG) VERSION, NOT THE 3 WIRE VERSION. THAT IS A DIFFERENT PART NUMBER THAN AEQ73110205. The description doesn't mention that there are two identical versions that have different connectors. So check your connector first. You will have to remove the whole panel that the ice maker is mounted to with the three wide gray screws and the one at the top center which has a big plastic washer on it. The whole unit will pull out and forward. Disconnect the big plug, and turn the unit over. On the back, under the tape, is the plug where the ice maker connects to the rest

This is LG's direct upgraded replacement for LFX28978ST. Easy fix. Remove three silver screws from whole panel, 2 bottom- one center. Pull bottom and drop down from top screw with plastic retainer. Disengage plug from door. Flip panel over and disengage second plug covered in tape. Remove screws holding unit to panel. Install in reverse order.+/- 30 minMight check with LG company site for other models that use this new number.

First I submitted the correct model number for our frig and was assured the part was correct. Ordered, then waited and when it finally arrived, it did NOT fit (One wire plug was totally wrong and one plastic wall interfered to where it could not go into place.). The notched "wall" I had to create was shown in the illustration but not there in the part.In order to not have another two weeks without ice, I had to spend half a day transfering wires and soldering in three connections and three other wires. Then I had to make a heat cutter to notch the plastic so it matched the original.After that

Ice maker installed easy enough, but noticed ice collecting around the space saver door. After a couple of weeks, I took a close look to see if I could figure out why. The water fill chute is moving around when water is going in, causing splashing around door, the plastic tabs holding it in place are broken. Also the sensors don’t turn unit off when bin is full. Don’t wait as long as I did to troubleshoot, the replacement time ran out on me and now I have to shut the ice maker off when bin fills with ice. Unfortunately if not turned on before the ice is all gone from the bin, you have to wait

Works & Fits Perfect

What a deal... Saved me an $800 appliance repair bill. The repairman also stated that if the refrig was over 6 yearrs old it might be better to get a new one.Easy to install & works luck a charm.

Bought this OEM icemaker to replace the icemaker in my LG LFX28978ST. My original tray started overflowing because it didn't have enough power to empty the tray once the cubes were frozen, so it would rotate back and try to fill the already full tray with water again, causing a nice big puddle of water on the floor. Watched a 8 minute video step-by-step instructional video on Youtube and decided to try to install myself versus paying about $100 more for the part and at least $200-$250 for a appliance repairman to come to my house to do it.The removal and install took about 20-25 minutes, as I
