I have an LG refrigerator, model LMX21981ST. Recently I have been having increasing difficulty dispensing ice if I do not use the dispenser every few hours. Just sitting overnight without use causes a problem.
I determined that the ice cubes in the delivery chute at the bottom of the dispenser are freezing together into a block, therefore preventing delivery.
I suspect that the seal on the dispenser door at bottom of chute is shot, thus allowing warm air into the chute, causing the cubes to melt together. Can someone confirm this, or offer an alternate explanation?
If it is the chute door seal, I would also appreciate some suggestions on how to remove the front panel for repair. I saw 1 or 2 YouTube videos and experimented a little, but it seems almost as if a special tool is need to pop off the panel.
