    Appreciate this video, I didn't know that back door even opened. Our ice was just stuck on top and we had to knock it down.

    GE told me to fill my fridge with every canned good in my pantry. It functions best when full…and it worked! The next morning, I had ice

    Doing a simple restart on the ice maker fixed my issue. 1. Turn the switch to off for the icemaker. 2. Wait 30 seconds. 3. Turn switch to on for the icemaker. 4. Press the ice limit lever in 3 times.

    That did the trick. I removed, cleared and installed the bin. Ice maker Off. Ice Maker On. Push the white plastic lever in the ice bin three times. I heard the ice cubes drop within minutes.

    My ice maker went out and then the next day the fridge started making a really loud noise coming from the back freezer. tried unplugging for 24 hours and this helped for a day with the noise but no ice production has returned. I did a deep dive and went through all of the diagnostic codes and all came up clean. water comes from the water dispenser. changed the water filter as well. noise is coming from the back motor/fan in the freezer by the condenser. Freezer also starting having some frost as well. Fridge and freezer appear to be holding temperatures appropriately. any idea on how to trouble shoot further so i can order the correct part/parts? would the water valve not working cause the fan/motor issues

    If you are getting excess frost/ice build up on the evaporator coil in the freezer, that could indicate a problem with the automatic defrost cycle. This frost can block airflow to the ice maker compartment and cause the ice maker to stop making ice.

    My Ge profile refrigerator icemaker seems to be stuck in a loop. The motor to dump runs its full cycle around for 30sec, switches off 30 sec. Then starts all over again. I can feel the tray warm up to dump, but it is not filling with water. My water dispenser works & so does the ice dispenser of ice already made. I did change the filter last week, but everything was fine until yesterday. Now it is stuck in this loop. Even turning ice maker off does not stop the cycle. Nor did unplugging for 30 mins...

    It sounds like the ice maker has failed. We would leave the ice maker unplugged until you can replace it.

    Mines not making any ice, water works. Try is empty. The forks don’t move when doing reset cycle. I’ll probably have to actually pull it out to see what’s going on. What can I do after if I discover that there’s no ice in the ice maker but forks don’t move?

    Check to make sure the ice maker compartment is getting cold enough. If the ice maker compartment is cold, then the ice maker itself may have failed.

    Ours makes ice, but water drips from the hole the ice comes from. Could it be the rubber flapper?

    Yes, if outside air is leaking in from the rubber flapper, it will cause condensation to build up around the ice dispenser hole in the door.

    If the water doesn't work on either ice maker or the water dispenser, first check that you have good water supply from the home to the refrigerator. Next, we would check the water valve on the back of the refrigerator kzread.info/dash/bejne/m4etu7CElbinfM4.html and the water filter manifold kzread.info/dash/bejne/fZOok5N_mdjVfdo.html

    3 ай бұрын

    It could be the water valve in the door. First, try removing the water line that goes to the ice maker and blowing through it to make sure the line is clear. If the water valve is receiving power and the lines are clear, then that should confirm that the water valve is bad and needs to be replaced. kzread.info/dash/bejne/immIlpSFoM-slto.html
