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.

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
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
