LG Refrigerator Error Code It E

The It E code indicates a defect in the ice maker kit where the ice ejecting mechanism does not operate when the I/M TEST switch is pressed. The fault can involve the drive motor, gear assembly, Hall IC sensor, or the internal operation circuit of the ice maker. This is an ice maker-specific error and does not affect the main refrigerator or freezer cooling functions.

A power reset may temporarily clear the code from the display, but if the underlying component failure in the ice maker kit is still present, the It E error will return once the system runs an ice ejection cycle or the I/M TEST switch is pressed again. A reset is useful for ruling out a one-time control glitch, but it does not repair a failed motor, sensor, or gear assembly.

If the repair requires replacing the entire ice maker kit assembly, parts typically range from around $50 to $150 depending on the specific LG model. Adding professional labor, total repair costs generally fall between $150 and $350. If only a wiring harness or connector repair is needed, costs are lower, while diagnosis alone from a service technician typically runs $75 to $125.

Some causes, such as an ice obstruction jamming the ejector arm, can be resolved by fully defrosting the ice maker compartment and retesting. However, if the motor, Hall IC sensor, or internal circuit board within the ice maker kit has failed, the assembly typically needs to be replaced. Technicians with a multimeter can test motor winding continuity and harness connections before committing to a parts replacement.

The It E error is isolated to the ice maker kit and does not affect the refrigerator or freezer cooling systems, so food safety is not compromised. You can continue using the refrigerator normally, but the ice maker will not produce or eject ice until the fault is resolved. It is advisable to turn off the ice maker function until repairs are completed to avoid any potential water overflow from a stuck ice ejection cycle.
