Your LG refrigerator may not be making ice or dispensing water due to several common issues. Check the water supply line to ensure it’s not kinked or blocked. Inspect the filter; a dirty or expired filter can impede water flow, so replace it if necessary. Additionally, make sure the ice maker is turned on and that the freezer temperature is set correctly (usually between 0°F and 5°F). Consult your refrigerator’s manual for specific troubleshooting steps.
