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.
This is an independent directory. We are not affiliated with GE, and the technicians listed are independent repair companies, not the manufacturer.

What Makes GE Ice Maker Repairs Different
GE says the icemaker mold has to get down to about 16°F before a cycle will start, so a warm freezer slows or stops ice production. Source: GE Appliances - Refrigerator - Icemaker Not Producing Ice
What GE Says to Check First
- 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
- 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
