LG Refrigerator No Ice or No Round Craft Ice? Dual Ice Maker AEQ73449909 – Fix Ice Maker Failure Fast

An LG French door refrigerator that stops producing ice — especially the signature round craft ice balls — almost always has a failed dual ice maker assembly. In most LG InstaView and Craft Ice refrigerators, the AEQ73449909 dual ice maker is the complete assembly that produces both standard crescent ice from the upper maker and the signature 2-inch round craft ice balls from the lower maker — when either side fails, the fridge stops producing that ice type entirely. When it fails, the ice bin empties and doesn’t refill, the craft ice chute stops dispensing, or the ice maker runs but produces no output. ⚡ Common failure point in LG-built French door refrigerators with Craft Ice across the LRFXC, LRFVS, LRFDS, and LRMVS series. Part AEQ73449909 is the current genuine OEM replacement that supersedes AEQ73449901 and restores full dual ice production including round craft ice.

❓ Is This the Right Part?

This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:

• ✔ Your LG refrigerator is cooling normally — fridge and freezer temperatures are correct
• ✔ The water supply line is connected and water dispenser works normally
• ✔ The ice maker is turned on and the ice bin is properly seated
• ✔ ONLY problem is no ice production — either no crescent ice, no round craft ice, or both

Not sure? Send us your model number — we'll confirm before you order.

🔧 Common Symptoms

• Ice bin completely empty and not refilling despite ice maker being on
• Round craft ice balls no longer being produced — craft ice chute dispenses nothing
• Ice maker motor runs or cycles but produces no ice output
• Ice maker frozen solid or jammed — won’t complete a harvest cycle
• Error code or blinking light on the ice maker indicating a fault
• Partial ice production — one side works but the other has stopped

✔ If these symptoms match, this is the most likely failed component in the system.

✔ In most cases, replacing this dual ice maker assembly restores full ice production on both the crescent and craft ice sides immediately.

⚙️ Installation

Skill Level: Moderate — 30–45 minutes. Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing. Remove the freezer drawer and ice bin to access the ice maker mounting bracket. Disconnect the wire harness and water fill tube, remove the mounting screws, and slide the old assembly out. Install the new assembly in reverse order, reconnect the harness and fill tube, restore power and water, and run the ice maker through a test cycle before replacing the freezer drawer.
