About LG LRSOS2706S Ice Maker
The LG LRSOS2706S has a dual ice maker with Craft Ice™. This means that it can produce two different types of ice: cubed ice and slow-melting Craft Ice™. The Craft Ice™ maker produces three or six round ice spheres per day, which are perfect for cocktails or other special drinks. The standard cubed ice maker is located on the freezer door and produces traditional cubed ice. The LRSOS2706S also has a crushed ice dispenser, so you can choose the type of ice that best suits your needs.
Here are some of the key features of the LG LRSOS2706S ice maker:
- Dual ice maker with Craft Ice™
- SpacePlus® ice system makes ice in the door, freeing up freezer space
- Crushed ice dispenser
- UVnano™ smooth touch dispenser kills 99.9% of bacteria on the dispenser nozzle
- Linear Cooling™ maintains a consistent temperature throughout the refrigerator to help keep food fresh longer
To use the LG LRSOS2706S ice maker, simply press the ice maker button on the control panel. The ice maker will start producing ice and will stop automatically when the ice bin is full. You can also turn off the ice maker by pressing the ice maker button again.
Here are some tips for maintaining your LG LRSOS2706S ice maker:
- Clean the ice maker bin regularly to prevent the buildup of bacteria and mold.
- Clean the dispenser nozzle regularly with a mild soap and water solution.

- If you are going to be away from home for an extended period of time, turn off the ice maker and water supply.
LG LRSOS2706S Ice Maker Not Working
There are a few things you can check if your LG LRSOS2706S ice maker is not working:
- Make sure the ice maker is turned on. There is a power switch on the side of the ice maker. If it is not turned on, the ice maker will not work.
- Make sure the freezer temperature is cold enough. The ice maker will not work if the freezer temperature is set too warm. The recommended freezer temperature for ice production is -4°F or lower.
- Make sure there is water getting to the ice maker. There is a water valve that controls the water supply to the ice maker. Make sure the valve is turned on and that there is no kink or blockage in the water line.
- Check the ice maker fill tube. The fill tube is the tube that delivers water to the ice maker tray. Make sure the tube is not frozen or clogged.
- Check the ice maker harvest arm. The harvest arm is the arm that sweeps the ice cubes out of the tray. Make sure the arm is moving freely and that it is not obstructed.
- Reset the ice maker. To reset the ice maker, unplug the refrigerator for 30 seconds and then plug it back in.
If you have checked all of the above and the ice maker is still not working, you may need to call a qualified repair technician.
Bonus Tips
Here are some additional troubleshooting tips:
Check the ice maker’s test mode
If your ice maker was working but now is not making ice, there is a simple diagnostic test you can run that may provide some insight on what that problem is.
To run the ice maker’s test mode, pull the handle to open the ice room and remove the ice bucket.
Running this ice maker test mode will provide two key pieces of information:
Did the motor run?
Was there water or ice in the tray?
If the answer is “no” to either of these questions, the refrigerator most likely needs service
Check the dispenser
If ice is not coming out of the dispenser and it seems unresponsive, see whether the dispenser might be locked by checking the lock indicator on the control panel.
If it is lit up, it means both the dispenser and the control panel are currently locked. To solve this, press and hold the lock button for three seconds to unlock the dispenser and control panel
