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. The Indio list starts with companies that name GE, followed by other appliance repair companies that work on ice makers and freezers.
