What Makes GE Ice Maker Repairs Different
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
Common GE Ice Maker and Freezer Problems
- Ice maker leaking. Unplug the refrigerator, then check the water line fittings, water valve, fill tube extension and defrost drain, and make sure the unit is level. Source: GE Appliances - Why is my ice maker leaking and dripping water?
- Freezer warm on the outside. GE says chest freezers shed heat through the cabinet and uprights have case heaters to stop sweating, so a warm exterior is normal if clearance is adequate. Source: GE Appliances - Warm Freezer Exterior
