On our LG LFDS22520S refrigerator, we removed the freezer drawer ands ice container. After replacing them the ice maker does not make any ice now. We emptied the ice container but I think the shut off arm remains in the vertical position. I think it has to be in horizontal position to create ice. Is there a way to manually move this arm?

To manually adjust the shutoff arm on the LG LFDS22520S refrigerator's ice maker to the horizontal position, make sure the arm moves freely and is not obstructed. Gently move the arm by hand to the horizontal (down) position, ensuring there is no resistance or blockage.

The Express FRZ (Express Freeze) panel on the LG LFDS22520 Series refrigerator activates a function that increases both ice-making and freezing capabilities. When the Express Freeze button is pressed, the indicator lights up and the function runs for 24 hours before turning off automatically. It can also be turned off manually by pressing the button again.
