What a GE Technician Deals With
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?
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
What GE Says to Check First

- Small or hollow cubes. Replace a clogged filter, make sure the freezer is not below -10°F and check the supply line for kinks or a partly closed saddle valve. Source: GE Appliances - Refrigerator - Hollow, Mushy, or Small Ice Cubes
