My LG side-by-side refrigerator/freezer is only making two ice cubes at a time. When water dispenses to fill the ice tray, it's only filling the first two ice cube bins, freezes and dispenses correctly, and then only fills the two bins again. Any help would be appreciated.
Colenoid in the ice dispenser may be clogged or have a small amount of trash in it. Is there a filter on before the fridge (just after the ice maker shutoff)?
I apologize for not being more clear. When I say ice maker shutoff I am referring to the one behind the fridge. It may be in the wall. It's basically just a shutoff valve for the water going to the refrigerator. With that being said, since you DO have one inside the fridge it may certainly be a clogged solenoid in the ice maker itself, or it could be due to poor pressure, or lack there of, going into the fridge. Check the shutoff at the wall, if there is one, there should be... and ensure that it is fully open. If it is, then you may need to have the solenoid or control valve in the ice maker replaced. Unfortunately this may be something you want to call an appliance company for. Before you call and start spending money though, make a quick call to the manufacturer to see if they have a simple solution to what may be a common problem with their product. They may even cover the parts. I wouldn't hold my breath on the labor though. I'll keep checking for updates on your situation :). Good luck!
Your very welcome! This is a great site, unfortunately there is only so much you and I can do together to remedy the problem without seeing it. Again, I'll watch for updates.

I'm only seeing a filter in the refrigerator and nothing in the freezer by the ice maker shutoff.
Thanks for your input Superplumber. The only shutoff that I'm seeing is in the line itself going to the icemaker (t-valve) and it is all the way open. There definitely appears to be water in the line. I will contact the manufacturer (LG) and see how far I can get with ideas before having a service person out or start buying parts. I truly appreciate your help. I'll update you once I'm able to find out more from the manufacturer.
I have the same problem. I just replaced the ice maker a couple months ago. It's been very slow in keeping up with my use. I just noticed that only 2 of the 10 cubes get filled with water. They are full sized cubes, but only 2 at a time. I did not see an answer to this woman's question. Any help is appreciated. Dave
Ice cubes wont eject into bin and water just overflows into the bin and freezes. How do I fix it
beyond replacing the ice maker dispenser container that the ice falls into, we are at a loss. It worked fine the first couple years, but now even a new dispenser container did not solve the problem. There are plastic blades at the bottom of the container where the ice cubes are being trapped and jamming the works. Is it a poor design? What can be done?
we have changed the filter several times and it never helped. Ran the water and filled up several gallons of water. Never made a difference
