How GE Ice Makers and Freezers Work
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?
What GE Says to Check First

- Ice maker frozen / ice buildup. If cubes jam the ejector rake the cycle can't finish, so clear the ice carefully because the mold may be hot. Source: GE Appliances - Refrigerator - Icemaker Not Producing Ice
