GE Ice and Freezer Designs
GE ice makers come in several designs, including in-freezer ice maker, countertop nugget ice maker (ge profile opal), fresh-food compartment ice maker, and undercounter ice maker, and each one fails in its own way. On the freezer side, GE sells chest freezer, upright freezer, side-by-side refrigerator, and French door bottom-freezer refrigerator.

What a GE Technician Deals With
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
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
