Visiting my brother who has an LG refrigerator, LFC22740ST.

When I pull out the freezer drawer and then the ice tray, ice cubes get
knocked off the pile into the main drawer I think, and worse, behind the
drawer and then onto the floor. Up to 6 pieces of ice end up on t he
floor each time, and I have to pick each one up.

This is side-by-side with the freezer in a drawer at the bottom. So no
water in the door.

The pile of ice is 6" high or more. This apartment is vacant most of
the time until it's sublet and I'd like to turn off the icemaker, but
all I can find is Ice Plus, which will make even more ice.

I can't find a swtich to turn the icemaker off.

Googling just returns hits about water spilling on the floor, not ice.
And this model of LG is probably not listed on the LG site.

Most of the ice makers can be turned off by simply lifting the
measuring arm and locking it in the up position. If it's getting
too full, maybe the arm is bent? Some have an off slide switch,
but it should be obvious, nearby.

It's using water to make the ice, right, and not atmospheric
condensation. Turn the water off.

The arm is bent but it looks like it was bent at the factory.

By golly. I'd looked but I looked harder.

Turned it off, next 2 or 3 times I got ice, no ice on the floor.

Until it's rented, my nephew uses this apartment like a clubhouse, with
one friend, but the ice there now should last 10 or 20 times even for 2
people. I'll tell him about turning it back on.

thanks

They, even maybe my nephew, would never be able to turn it back on.
Even I have a lot of trouble seeing the tap, which is behind things.
