LG Refrigerator Error Code E It

The E It code indicates an electrical defect within the ice maker kit assembly. The fault can involve the harvest motor, gear mechanism, Hall effect sensor, or the IC operation circuit inside the ice maker. The key symptom is that ice will not drop even when the Ice Maker Test Switch is pressed, which confirms an internal electrical failure rather than a simple ice jam or water supply issue.

The E It error is not a safety hazard. It is an electrical fault confined to the ice maker kit and does not affect the refrigerator or freezer compartments ability to maintain temperature. Your food will remain safe while this error is present, but the ice maker will not produce or dispense ice until the fault is resolved.

A power reset, such as unplugging the refrigerator for a few minutes, may temporarily clear the E It code from the display. However, if the underlying electrical fault in the ice maker kit is still present, the code will return once the refrigerator runs the ice maker cycle again. A lasting fix requires identifying and repairing or replacing the defective component inside the ice maker assembly.

Some basic checks are within reach for a knowledgeable DIYer, such as inspecting the wiring harness connections for corrosion or damage and ensuring the ice maker is receiving power. However, diagnosing a failed Hall sensor, motor, or IC circuit typically requires a multimeter and some familiarity with reading electrical components. Because the fault is internal to the ice maker kit, the most common repair is replacing the entire ice maker assembly.

Repair costs vary depending on the specific failed component. If only the wiring harness needs repair, costs may be relatively low. Replacing the full ice maker assembly typically costs between $150 and $400 including parts and labor, depending on the specific model and your location. Diagnosing the exact failed component before ordering parts can help avoid unnecessary expenses.
