What a GE Technician Deals With

What GE Says to Check First
- Opal nugget ice maker low or no ice. A blocked ice chute can give a false full-bin signal, so clean the Opal per the manual and make sure the bin is fully inserted. Source: GE Appliances - Opal Ice Maker - Troubleshooting
- 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?
