We had an LG, top of the line french door that caught fire in 2009. It was 15 months old. You know the light that "comes on" when you open the door and "goes off' when you close it? Well our quit going off. We had no idea. We had natural gas and started to smell a weird smell, thinking it was the gas we went to great lengths to check out our range. Then we opened the refrigerator and the plastic ceiling had melted and was hanging like icecicles onto the food items on the top shelf. the light was burnt and charred. Any way..... it was a bit scary.
LG stood behind the refrigerator and gave us the newest latest and greatest model. It had LED lighting. It was the incandescent (or fluorescent light) that never went out.
We have an LG washer and dryer now and love it and we felt that handled our fried refrigerator well, obviously a design flaw.....Bet this ice maker issue is too. It would be interesting to google your model number and see how many other owners have the same problem. You could then write to the company about this being a well documented problem. That might get their attention, and a solution. I bet it is a design flw with your model that many others have had to deal with too.
