at my wits ends with this damn fill tube freezing. lg lsxs26326s. apparently it is a common thing with these refrigerators and the water valve is usually the culprit. Not mine, changed it and the water still stays at the very tip of the fill valve and freezes. temperature is above zero degrees. i have to manually clear it out with a little pick in order for water to fill the ice tray and within two hours it’s frozen again. Lg makes the fill tube heater element un serviceable, and the suggestion is to BUY A WHOLE NEW DOOR. Absolutely ridiculous. Is there Anyone out there experiencing this. I am about to buy an external heater and wrap the ice water line that enters the top left door hinge, run the power cable across the top of the fridge and plug it in behind the fridge. i want to rip my hair out with this damn thing.

any of you guys used to be an inside wireman from IBEW local 401 and made a jump to sub tech at mc energy? I have heard if you previously were a wireman that’s a big plus if trying to switch, and they start you back at 1st year sub tech pay?

the damn fill tube for the ice maker keeps freezing, only the last inch or two. Has anyone figured out a good solution other than replace the whole damn door. That’s lg’s advice, they made it so the fill tube heater is not serviceable. I have checked the resistance on the fill tube heater circuit, the fill tube heater and the ice cube mold heater are on the same circuit and i have 180 ohms, that seems to be within the normal range from everything i have found and the ice cubes come out of the mold, so that tells me the mold heater is working. wtf am i supposed to do here it’s driving me nuts!
