Know Your GE Ice Maker
What a GE Technician Deals With
On the Opal nugget ice maker, two small sensors at the ice chute entrance detect a full bin and tell the unit when to go into defrost, and they stop working properly when coated with scale. Source: GE Appliances - Opal Ice Maker - Cleaning the Sensor
Depending on the model, the ice maker can sit in the freezer, in the fresh food section or in the fresh food door, and daily output runs roughly 3 to 4.5 pounds by style. Source: GE Appliances - How much ice should I get in a day?
What GE Says to Check First
- New ice maker not making ice. A new ice maker often ships switched off and can take up to 24 hours to get cold enough, and it cycles a few times to purge air before the first fill. Source: GE Appliances - Refrigerator - New Icemaker Not Producing Ice
- Freezer warm on the outside. GE says chest freezers shed heat through the cabinet and uprights have case heaters to stop sweating, so a warm exterior is normal if clearance is adequate. Source: GE Appliances - Warm Freezer Exterior
Reading a GE Error Code
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| dE | The defrost system has not operated properly in the last 24 hours. Source: GE Appliances - Refrigerator Error, Fault or Function Codes |
| CI | Check that the ice maker is working properly. Source: GE Appliances - Refrigerator Error, Fault or Function Codes |
| E and 8 | On an upright freezer control, the temperature sensor (thermistor) is shorted; needs service if a 30-second power reset doesn't clear it. Source: GE Appliances - Freezer Error, Fault or Function Codes |
GE Freezer Problems Worth a Service Call
- Chest freezer exterior feels hot to the touch for a long time
