We purchased our side by side LG fridge around 15 months ago and have been using it except we only got the plumber in two days ago to connect the water/ice maker dispenser up. It has been nearly 3 days now but no ice has been made in the automatic dispenser. We do have the switch on for automatic ice - the water dispenser is working great and is nice and cold but there is no ice made in the ice bucket inside the freezer

My problem was similar to yours and my lg refrigerator model number is: LMXS30776D/02, I followed the steps like you with no luck. I just fixed mine last night and it's a pleasure for me to share with you my experience.As I was trying to figure out what was wrong with my fridge, as I was shaking and lifting the left front door of my fridge I noticed that the error code E: 15 disappear on the display. As we open the door back and forth for normal use,the error E: 15 comes back again.From that,I realized something wrong with the left front door of the fridge. I ordered a new left door, It came in yesterday, I installed it last night and everything works beautifully in my fridge, no more code what so ever. as a result, if you are experiencing the same problem,most likely you need to think replacing the left door of the fridge.
Let me know if this help.
Thank you.
Unfortunately, Ice Makers are notoriously unreliable and most require more expertise than a handyman possesses. Most require replacement of one of the 4 main parts (usually not generic): drive motor, water solenoid, heating release element or bin full ice arm control switch.
A Certified Technician should be able to diagnose the problem and suggest a repair or replacement.
You may have a problem with the computer control board in the ice maker. Try this. Turn off the icemaker for about 2 minutes.
Turn on the ice maker and press the clear button. Press and hold this button for 12 seconds to get it to force extract. This will confirm that the motors will work and push the ice cubes out. Afterwards, let it run by itself. If it still doesn't make ice, you will need to replace the icemaker.
The
refrigerator has a duel water valve, one for the ice-maker and one
for the water dispenser (if equipped). The valve that
the ice-maker relies on may be bad, or it could be the ice-maker itself.
Another thing that could cause it would be
the temperatures in the freezer. The ice-maker will not
call for water until it reaches under 15 degrees.
In addition, check
the water tube behind the ice-maker to make sure it is not frozen, blocking
more water from entering.
note: The water does not go to the ice-maker or
thru the filter unless the ice-maker turns on the water valve.
the ice maker wont cycle untill the temp of the ice is around 10 degrees so if the freezer is at 15 or 20 due to some other malfunction then you will see the maker full of ice but it wont harvest and make another batch. so you could have a sensor bad, control malfunction, refrigeration issue, compressor, defrost system malfunction(you mentioned ice build up)
