LG GML844 water leaking from the ice maker

Water around the LG GML844 ice maker can come from a partly open ice-room door, melting ice or an active fill leak. Protect food first and avoid repeated power cycling. The checks below concern controls, ice, filters and accessible compartments only; sealed-system, wiring and fan work belongs to qualified service. What the alert means: Warm air entering the ice compartment creates meltwater, while a leak that appears during filling can indicate a water connection fault. What to distinguish first: Dry the area and note whether water returns only during an ice fill, after door opening or continuously. 1. Confirm the exact symptom — Warm air entering the ice compartment creates meltwater, while a leak that appears during filling can indicate a water connection fault. 2. Prepare safely — Keep the doors closed, move perishable food if needed and disconnect power only for the single reset described below. 3. Apply the official check — Confirm the ice maker is switched on, close the ice-compartment door firmly and remove meltwater without touching hidden tubing. 4. Interpret one retest — Observe one fill cycle. Shut off the water and request service if fresh water appears from behind the ice maker. The official LG procedure identifies this exact symptom and supports the checks above. Do not chip ice with sharp tools, heat plastic parts or remove electrical panels. Arrange service if cooling is lost, water reaches wiring, a fan error returns or the leak cannot be contained.
