For LG LRFWS2906V/02, if the complaint is no ice AND no water dispensing, troubleshoot the common water supply path first, not the ice maker.
- Remove the water filter and test the dispenser. This model has a built-in bypass. If water works with the filter removed → bad/restricted filter or filter not fully seated. LG specifically recommends this test.
- Verify house supply: shutoff valve fully open, no kinked line, and adequate pressure (LG specifies roughly 20–120 PSI).
- Press the dispenser paddle and listen for the inlet valve.
- Valve hums but no water → supply restriction, frozen/restricted tubing, filter/head issue, or failed valve.
- No valve activation → check dispenser switch/door switch, wiring, and voltage to the valve.
- If supply into the refrigerator is good, check the water inlet valve assembly and then the filter head/housing.
- Once dispenser water is restored, run the ice-maker test cycle and verify it receives water during the fill portion.
Because both functions failed together, I would not replace the ice maker first. The strongest suspects are water supply → filter/filter head → inlet valve. LG’s troubleshooting likewise treats loss of water flow/pressure as a cause of both dispenser and ice-production problems.
If you tell me whether you hear the valve humming when you press the water paddle, I can narrow it down to the next component/test.
