Hello there. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand your inquiry about your LG refrigerator LRFLC2706S and the reduced ice production you’ve noticed over the past three weeks. According to LG’s “Why is My Refrigerator Not Making Enough Ice?” guide, several factors can cause slower ice production, even in a unit installed in January 2025. First, check the freezer temperature. LG recommends setting the freezer at or below -4°F (-20°C) for optimal ice production; if it’s warmer, ice will form more slowly. Please verify the current temperature reading in the freezer compartment and adjust it if needed. Next, consider recent usage patterns. Frequent door openings or added food blocking airflow can raise internal temperatures, reducing ice output. Ensure vents inside the freezer aren’t obstructed, and minimize door openings where possible to maintain steady cold. Also confirm the ice maker is turned on and there are no error indicators. If your model displays any error codes, refer to LG’s error code troubleshooting article for guidance. If no codes appear, manually cycle the ice maker off and on or perform its test/reset procedure per the Owner’s Manual to reset its operation. Check the water supply and filter: a clogged or overdue water filter can limit water flow to the ice maker, leading to less ice. If the filter hasn’t been replaced in the last six months, please replace it with a genuine LG filter. Additionally, inspect the water line behind the refrigerator for kinks or low pressure that might impede flow. If your refrigerator includes an Ice Plus or Express Freeze feature, you may activate it to boost ice production: this runs the compressor continuously for a few hours to lower freezer temperature more quickly. Use this feature when the freezer is already at or below 0°F. Since your unit has been in service several months, also verify that the door gasket seals properly; a compromised seal can allow warm air ingress, affecting ice production. Clean and inspect the gasket for damage or debris, ensuring a tight closure.
