Its a LG GN-466FW after looking at it it was iced up & the fan wasnt working

Sounds like one of two possibilities:
1) Loose connection, since it works intermittently after you push/pull/change something
2) A problem with the main control board. Everything from the cooling system to the lights to the fans to the ice maker are managed and controlled by the control board. Some boards have flashing LED indicators to help trouble shoot problems.

Your ice maker freezer fan may be iced up. Take the freezer bin out and look at the back of the freezer. If there is ice built up, you have to defrost it.

Hello Mike;

My name is Peter. I am a retired field service refrigeration technician.
I was hoping LG would stop manufacturing this type of design.
You need to stay away from bottom freezers, especially those manufactured by both LG & Samsung. Cosmetically they look nice. They are high maintenance and high failure.
You are probably good with tools and quite handy. But, what you are asking is a nightmare.
Here is the design flaw; there is a separate fan for the ice maker in your fresh food section door. Ice makers belong in the freezer. There are air ports that go to the enclosed housing on your door. This is where a separate fan in your freezer blows cooling air. When you open the fresh food section of your unit and close the door, you are forcing warm air down through these cooling ports into the ice maker fan. The fan builds up condensate and freezes.
The ice maker fan is located in the back of your freeze wall on the left hand side. You can not see it. There is a square mold that has 3 screws. The fan is behind this.
To access the fan, which normally does not need to be replaced; remove the bottom freezer door. The are two screws on outside of the rail system near the door. They are holding the door into slots. Remove the screws. Lift up pulling the door out of the slots. Set the door aside. In the back on the right hand side there is a small cover plate. On the back of the cover plate is your temperature sensor. Remover the cover plate 1 screw. Pop off the cover plate. Remove the sensor and attach a string to it for later recovery. This lead is short and after removing the back cover off you will need to recover it. You will not after unscrewing the retainer screws on the back cover to fully pull it off. The ice maker fan has short leads. You will need to struggle, after removing the 3 retaining screw on the cover plate, reaching behind to pull the fan out to disconnect the connector. The connector on this fan is very short.
Lets do it the easy way, chances are the fan motor is good. Using a hair dryer blow warm air down the ports from the port feeding the ice maker cooling air. Use the hair dryer on the freezer left hand wall. Better yet, unplug your unit for 24 hours.
Next time do not purchase a bottom freezer, Amada & Kitchen Aid are low maintenance. Kenmore & GE make some nice units if you get the right model.

Check all of the wiring connections from your fan motor. If 1 was OK before, there shouldn't be any reason its not now. Closely check the connections going to the capacitor. If they are back to front, the fan wont start, it will sit there humming. If you give it a flick and the fan starts up, it will be that connection.

Lg refrigrator model GL -195/2008. The defrost button not work after the ice will melt

hello, first thing to check would be to assure that the evaporator fan motor located behind the rear inside wall of the freezer is blowing air. Following you assureing that the fan is working you would then go into the refrigerator and there is a small door called a damper door or in some units a diffuser door you would also assure that this door is not full of ice and is able to open and close. The cold air from the freezer comes through this damper door. If there is any ice build up on the door you may have to replace the damper door. I have found that trying to remove the ice that the door just never works properly after trying to defrost the door and is alot less troublesome to just replace the door if it was iced over or wasnt functioning properly. If you have any questions message me back I will await your reply and your finds in these two areas that I have mentioned. And if the fan is working and there is no ice on the damper door and it is opening and closeing I will continue pointing out other areas that may be the cause of the refrigerator not getting cold. Thank you
Rick

Hi,

Many times a freezer and/or refrigerator do not work right because of a dirty condenser coil...there are also many other things that can go wrong.

If you are hearing a clicking or buzzing then check out the last two tips.

If your refrigerator is running but warm, then...

Check out these tips that I wrote about that... it is a great place to start trouble shooting your unit...and something that you can do rather then calling a repair person to do a simple thing for you...

ER IF indicates that the ice maker fan is not working. The fan is probably frozen. Remove the fan duct and housing at the back of the freezer and you may be able to defrost the ice in the fan enclosure. It will not defrost sufficiently by turning the freezer off for 2 to 4 hours as LG suggests. The fan may have frozen because of high humidity or because the defrost cycle is not working. If your unit is still under warranty LG should fix it by replacing the fan, duct panel and control board with new ones that have been re-engineered to prevent this problem.

fan bad or not defrosting look for ice build up behind panel by fan
