What Makes GE Ice Maker Repairs Different
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
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 GE Ice Maker and Freezer Problems
- 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
- 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

Local Notes for Worthington
Most ice maker calls in Worthington come down to the same handful of causes: water supply and pressure, a frozen fill tube, the water inlet valve, freezer temperature and the ice maker assembly itself.
Minnesota has no state license for mechanical contractors or their workers; businesses contracting for gas, heating, cooling or refrigeration work file a mechanical contractor bond with the Department of Labor and Industry, and some cities require their own licenses or competency cards.
