Sounds like what I had until it quit working totally and needed a new compressor~!

Like I wrote earlier, the icemaker in the fridge door works fine in our LG french door refrigerator. It appears that it is supplied with cold air from the freezer through a couple ducts in the side of the door. Closing the door seals the ducts.

Performance of a decade old appliance really is not relevant to a person shopping for a new appliance.
