What Makes GE Ice Maker Repairs Different
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?
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
GE Symptoms and First Checks
- 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
- 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
Reading a GE Error Code
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| CI | Check that the ice maker is working properly. Source: GE Appliances - Refrigerator Error, Fault or Function Codes |
| E and 9 | On an upright freezer control, the thermistor circuit is open; needs service if a 30-second power reset doesn't clear it. Source: GE Appliances - Freezer 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 |

Florida's construction licensing guidance says that paid work such as installing a dishwasher connected to drinking water or replacing a water heater requires a licensed contractor, and that a local business tax receipt or certificate of competency may also apply; it does not describe a separate state appliance repair license.

In Florida, you can check a license with the DBPR Verify a License (MyFloridaLicense.com) or report a problem to the Florida Attorney General, Office of Citizen Services / Consumer Protection.
