GE Ice and Freezer Features
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
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
- 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
Reading a GE Error Code

| 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 |
