Know Your GE Ice Maker
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
Common GE Ice Maker and Freezer Problems
- Freezer not freezing. On an upright or chest freezer whose lights work but won't cool, GE says to confirm the control isn't set to OFF before scheduling repair. Source: GE Appliances - Upright & Chest Freezer - Not Working
- Small or hollow cubes. Replace a clogged filter, make sure the freezer is not below -10°F and check the supply line for kinks or a partly closed saddle valve. Source: GE Appliances - Refrigerator - Hollow, Mushy, or Small Ice Cubes
