    Yep, I need help. My LG Fridge (2007) stopped making ice and the water flow is super low. Need some help, I tip well! If anybody knows somebody, let me know.

    I am by no means a plumber at all but maybe there is a bunch of sludge/crap inside the copper line after feeding your fridge water for many years. How long has the copper line been in use?

    The reason why I think that could be a possibility is because I have replaced many old water heaters over the years. When trying to drain a older water heter there is always some type of build up at the bottom of the tank that makes the water flow out "super low"....So thats how I can see that happening to the copper water line

    That new Arizona law has only been in effect for a few days and already HCP can't find a cheap Mexican plumber.

    Maybe it just needs a new filter? Might help the water flow. I dunno about the ice maker

    Even if im wrong doing that isnt hard

    If there's a water filter on the line, it may be clogged.

    Anyhow, don't get in it and close the door.

    That was the problem I had with mine. A fridge guy told me to take a hair dryer to the water line . . . it worked for about three weeks and then same problem. I finallly called out someone who said something about the water line, fixed it and charged me about $200 if I rememeber right.

    I'm pretty sure I have his contact info at home. I'll look for it . . . but I didn't have a friend or knew a guy. I think I surfed on line for someone who fixes frides and was local. The travel cost is a bulk of the cost . . . damn bastards. :D


    He did replace a part, but was at my house for less than half an hour and swear it took him 10 mins to replace part. I will say I haven't had the problem again.


    Edit: A&P Appliances in Beaverton 644.0382 . . . but I would look for someone local. With a 2007 model, I think the major cost is someone going to your house, not the labor.
