What Makes GE Ice Maker Repairs Different
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 leak points GE lists for the ice maker are loose water line fittings, a leaking water valve, a leaking fill tube extension and a clogged defrost drain. Source: GE Appliances - Why is my ice maker leaking and dripping water?
