Know Your GE Ice Maker
How GE Ice Makers and Freezers Work
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
GE Symptoms and First Checks
- Freezer not freezing. On an upright or chest freezer whose lights work but won't cool, GE says to confirm the control isn't set to OFF before scheduling repair. Source: GE Appliances - Upright & Chest Freezer - Not Working
- 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
Reading a GE Error Code
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| CI | Check that the ice maker is working properly. Source: GE Appliances - Refrigerator Error, Fault or Function Codes |
| FF | Freezer temperature has risen too high; check frozen food for thawing. Source: GE Appliances - Refrigerator Error, Fault or Function Codes |
| E and 8 | On an upright freezer control, the temperature sensor (thermistor) is shorted; needs service if a 30-second power reset doesn't clear it. Source: GE Appliances - Freezer Error, Fault or Function Codes |
