Introduzione
Use this guide to replace the ice auger motor run capacitor on your LG refrigerator.
This guide will work for most LG refrigerators. This guide is written with an LG model LFX25973 refrigerator. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same.
The ice auger run capacitor allows the ice auger motor to operate and is involved in allowing the motor to have good running torque.
If the ice auger motor run capacitor fails, the ice auger will not run. Ice will not be dispensed, and crushed ice will not be available.
