What iT (Ice Maker Motor Defect) Means
iT (LG's digital-code reference spells it "It") indicates a fault with the ice maker motor. LG's error-code list states there are no troubleshooting steps and the unit needs repair service.
Common Causes of iT (Ice Maker Motor Defect)
- Ice maker motor has failed
- Ice maker mechanism is physically jammed by clumped ice
🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try
There's no LG-documented home fix for this one; the one thing worth checking is whether the ice bin itself is jammed with clumped ice, which can occasionally present the same symptom without being a true motor failure.
⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That
- LG gives no troubleshooting path here, meaning there's no safe intermediate step before service beyond clearing an obvious ice clump.
- Forcing the ice maker's ejector mechanism by hand to try to free a jam risks breaking the mechanism outright, turning a possible reset into a guaranteed parts replacement.
Opening a panel to inspect or repair something yourself doesn't automatically cancel your manufacturer's warranty — but it can risk accidental damage, and some manufacturers do have specific service conditions. Check your product's warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
