It is under warranty. contact the maker. If you try to fix it is will void that warranty. The only thing you can do is routine cleaning and descaling and changing the filter.
Ice Maker Doesn't Turn Off
If your ice maker keeps making ice, even when it is full:
1Lift the bail wireto shut off the ice maker, and remove the ice bin. Then, using a screwdriver if necessary, remove the ice maker, clean it thoroughly, and then reinstall it.
2If the problem persists,consider removing and replace the entire ice maker and valve. With this type of problem, you can have it repaired, but it's often wiser and less expensive in the long run to replace the unit entirely.
Just wondering if it was shut off by accident?
This is not really an answer for you if its on get back to me. could not find contact on your post
Hopes this helps Mike
LG has problems with there ice makers. if is less than a year old it is under warrenty--even if you dont have a reciept. sounds like the ice maker needs replaced. i have replaced several that were less than a year old.
Well first of all, you should still be under the manufacturers warranty, which is good for you. Secondly, if it's still possible to but the extended warranty, take my advice and do it. However, if you are not covered by the warranty, then this is most likely your water valve or your ice maker may just be out. Do you have a filter system in this unit? If so, you should replace the filter now, also. If you will give us a call or email us, we'll be sure to get the proper parts out to you right away. We hipe to hear from you soon. Hope this helps.
Since the ice maker is erationally starting and stopping at it's own leisure.
1.We must first try to turn off the fridge.
2.unplug it or if you can not reach the plug you can turn off the breaker to the fridge also, for 5 minutes!
After this you restart the fridge and see if the system reset it self.
This is a common way to reset some units!
If nothing works then perhaps the ice maker needs to be replaced.
How old the fridge?
Let me know how it works and if you have any questions.
Please remember to give a rating before you finish..

Here is an interesting article I just read.
Repair or replace?
When to pull the plug on your old refrigerator
It nearly always makes sense to undertake simple do-it-yourself repairs,
such as replacing a gasket on a refrigerator or a freezer.
Typically, you'll also find a troubleshooting section for more-serious problems
in the owner's manual.
Should you pay for a repair or buy a new model?
The answer depends mostly on the age of your refrigerator,
how much you bought it for,and the cost of the repair.
Follow these guidelines:
When a repair makes sense.
If your refrigerator is under warranty or less than four years old (three years for top-freezers),
paying for a repair makes sense.
Note that refrigerators under warranty might require service from a factory-authorized technician;
readers have found them on a par with independent repairers.
When a repair might be a wise choice.
If your refrigerator is out of warranty and is four to seven years old,
it might make sense to pay for a repair. Customers generally pay $100 to $200 for a repair.
But you might want to buy a new model even at this stage,
given that today's models are quieter and have added features.
Higher energy efficiency is another plus: Energy Star-qualified models made after April 28, 2008,
are 43 percent more efficient than conventional models built before 2001 and 56 percent
more efficient than those built before 1993.
When it pays to replace.
The repair costs more than half the price of a comparable new refrigerator.
Data also shows that it doesn't pay to fix a less-expensive top-freezer refrigerator
six or more years old or a bottom-freezer or side-by-side eight or more years old.
Thanks to better recycling programs, less than 10 percent
of a refrigerator you replace is likely to end up in a landfill.
are the "fingers" of the icemaker pointed toward you and slightly up? if not the icemaker is internally broken . is the red light to the right blinking twice and then a one second pause? if not the emmitter is broken. is the black hose coming from the ceiling blocked with ice ? if so the water vave is broken allowing water to seep in hose and freeze. hope this helps.
