How to fix LG er-it — step by step
Work through these in order, from simplest and safest first. Stop as soon as the code clears.
- Power reset the fridge
Unplug the fridge for 10 minutes, then plug it back in. This restarts the ice maker cycle from scratch. - Remove jammed ice
Take out the ice bin and look for cubes wedged in the tray or around the ejector arms. Clear them gently by hand.Safety warning: Do not force the ejector arms. They break easily. - Check water supply
Make sure the water valve behind the fridge is fully open. Weak water flow can stall the fill part of the cycle.
When to call a technician
- The code returns with no visible jam
- The tray will not move or eject
- Water is leaking from the ice maker
- You hear grinding from the ice maker
Frequently asked questions
My ice maker clicks but makes no ice. Is that Er IT?
Clicking often means the motor is trying to turn a jammed mechanism, which matches this code.
Should I turn the ice maker off?
Yes, until you clear the jam. Running it jammed can strip the gears.
When is the ice maker itself dead?
If the tray never moves after a reset and the jam is clear, the motor or module has likely failed.
