Know Your GE Ice Maker
How GE Ice Makers and Freezers Work
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
What GE Says to Check First
- 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?
- 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
