I have an LG refrigerator, model LMX21981ST. Recently I have been having increasing difficulty dispensing ice if I do not use the dispenser every few hours. Just sitting overnight without use causes a problem.


I determined that the ice cubes in the delivery chute at the bottom of the dispenser are freezing together into a block, therefore preventing delivery.


I suspect that the seal on the dispenser door at bottom of chute is shot, thus allowing warm air into the chute, causing the cubes to melt together. Can someone confirm this, or offer an alternate explanation?
