Introduzione

Use this guide to replace the ice auger motor run capacitor on your LG model LFX25973 refrigerator.

The ice auger run capacitor allows the ice auger motor to operate and is involved in allowing the motor to have good running torque.

If the ice auger motor run capacitor fails, the ice auger will not run. Ice will not be dispensed, and crushed ice will not be available.
