Hello, welcome to FixYa.
I just read your post and based on the info provided it certainly sounds like a control board has been damaged. The PCB (main board) at the back is part #6871JB1280P for about $70 at vendors on-line like "repairclinic.com".
There is not much you can do short of what you've tried (unplugging) unfortunately. Let me know if I can help in any other manner. Good luck.
Regards,
Macmarkus :)
This will be a defrost problem. There are 3 components in the defrost circuit.
Defrost control board (ADC)
The heat element
A bi-metal
If any one of these components fails, the freezer will not defrost. This can be put into a manual defrost to help determine the problem. Put this into a defrost, by doing the following, in order:
Unplug the unit from the wall outlet for at least 13 seconds.
Turn the thermostat off (leave it off)
Plug the power cord back in
In just a few seconds, you should hear a click and the element should come on. Shortly you will hear some popping and hissing. If you never hear this noise, either the heater or bi-metal will be open.
Jeff,
I can make it simple without any part numbers. If it is a pin hole as you say then dry up the surface, empty the water tank, allow it to dry up and put a drop of Super glue or quickfix or some such adhesive. let it dry for a few hours and then use it as new.
First check to see if the water fill tube is clogged with ice. If it is thaw the ice out of it and you should be fine, but usually if the tube supplying the ice maker is frozen over the valve isn't working properly but thisis only sometimes. The tube is where the water fills the icemaker inside the freezer section. Hope this helps.
Once you get to the tank , there are 2 hoses . Cut the hoses to remove the tank . Do not push the water dispensor afterwards , or water will run into the fridge . The icemaker water is not connected to the tank , so removel (or non removal ) does not matter . If you had given the model number , I could have given you the part number for the tank (resevoir).
ck container to rule out simple leak ck for cracks in container make sure lines are secure and free of breaks also part can be ordered. first ck all basics lines and conections in compartment
usualy there isnt a height adjustment most common problem is worn door cam due to over weighting door the door cam is made from hard plastic and is known to wear out even break
While the LG AEQ57518210 and LG 5989JA0002Y ice makers may appear similar and have the same adapter, it's important to note that using a different ice maker model than the one specified by the manufacturer can have potential risks and consequences. Refrigerators are designed with specific components, including ice makers, that are tested and engineered to work together as a system. Using a different model ice maker may lead to the following issues:
Compatibility Issues: Even if the adapter fits, there might be compatibility issues between the different ice maker models and your refrigerator. The electrical connections, mounting points, and water supply might not align properly, causing installation difficulties or functionality problems.
Performance and Quality: Ice makers are designed with specific performance and quality standards. Using a different model ice maker might lead to subpar ice production, inconsistent ice quality, or even no ice production at all.
Leakage or Water Damage: Improperly fitted or incompatible ice makers could result in water leakage, which can cause damage to the refrigerator, flooring, or surrounding areas.
Electrical or Wiring Issues: Different ice maker models might have different electrical requirements or wiring configurations. Mismatched electrical connections could lead to electrical problems or even pose safety risks.
Voiding Warranty: If your refrigerator is still under warranty, using non-standard parts like an incompatible ice maker might void the warranty.
Long-Term Reliability: While the initial cost savings might be tempting, using an incompatible ice maker could lead to long-term reliability issues for your refrigerator.
Do you have a test meter to check if the power button is working and has continuity?
My advice with a suspected control board is always to get professional diagnosis due to the cost or control boards. It would be a shame to buy one and find it doesn't fix the issue.
..
It could be from a stuck ice bucket.Or the water pressure is in inadequate on the ice water lines.The auger motor is broken.Or clogged water filters. Sometimes it could the switch has not been turned on.
