GE Ice and Freezer Designs
GE ice makers come in several designs, including in-freezer ice maker, dual ice maker, countertop nugget ice maker (ge profile opal), and in-door ice maker, and each one fails in its own way. Freezer styles include side-by-side refrigerator, upright freezer, chest freezer, and French door bottom-freezer refrigerator.

What a GE Technician Deals With
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
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
- 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

In Georgia, you can check a license with the Georgia Secretary of State Licensing Division License Lookup or report a problem to the Georgia Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division.
