A GE ice maker shares its basic needs with every other ice maker, cold air, water and a working mechanism, but where it sits, how it is reset and the codes it shows are specific to the brand and model. We flag companies whose listing or website mentions GE and fill in with nearby appliance repair companies so you always have options.

GE Ice and Freezer Features
How GE Ice Makers and Freezers Work
The icemaker fills from the rear while its thermostat sits at the front cube, so a slow fill or a freezer colder than about -10°F can eject the rear cubes before they are solid and leave them hollow. Source: GE Appliances - Refrigerator - Hollow, Mushy, or Small Ice Cubes

What New River Owners Should Know
Most ice maker calls in New River come down to the same handful of causes: water supply and pressure, a frozen fill tube, the water inlet valve, freezer temperature and the ice maker assembly itself.
Arizona has no appliance-repair-specific license; work is regulated through Registrar of Contractors classifications, and state law removes the small-job (under $1,000) handyman exemption for any work connecting or repairing appliances on natural gas or propane.

In Arizona, you can check a license with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors Contractor Search or report a problem to the Arizona Attorney General Consumer Protection.
