The ice maker will fill with water then make the first run of cubes. After this, the ice maker will fill with water and freeze into a solid block. The cubes never dump, becuase the cube maker is full, the refill water is "overflowing" and running to bottom of freezer and eventually out the door. What is the cause of this problem? I replaced the ice maker and it is still doing the same thing with the new one.
SOURCE: Ice cube dispenser not working
Not real familiar with that specific model but it sounds like the heating element isn't working to loosen the ice from the tray as it's dumped. A typical ice maker has a small heat element under it to melt the surface of the ice just slightly while it dumps.
SOURCE: water does not dispense from door
I found that the door on the GE side by side doors are not accessable and cannot be repaired if a water line inside the door is defective. The entire door must be replaced at a cost of almost $370. The problem, which seems to be quite common relative to the lack of water at the dispenser, is the result of the water tube in the door freezing due to excess cold levels in the freezing compartment. This is probabley due to poor insulation around the water line as in exits near the ice dispenser gate. The solution is simple, lower the freezing level and use water frequently to keep it from freezing. Also, keep the lines clean by changing the filter often if the local water source is laden with particulates. I think GE should foot the bill for changing doors or re-engineer the doors to access the area where the water line makes contact with the cold surface of the inside panal.
SOURCE: 1 ice cube gets stuck when the maker dumps ice
Look at the 2 blades where the cube sticks carefully.
My bet is that the blades are ever-so-slightly bent toward one another - or the factory remove-before-use lable remmnants are still on one of the facing blades.
If label is there, remove with edge of credit card. Don't force, USE NO TOOLS
If they are metal and bent, simply bend very slightly beyond parallel and check again until straight
If they are plastic and bent, bend farther than needed and let slowly loose. Check and repeat
Good Luck!
SOURCE: ice maker won't dump cubes
the problem is that the tray doesn't eject the cubes, they get stuck and it just breaks them and only parts come out instead of the whole cube/crescent, then the proper amount of water comes in as refill, the tray gets too full and your problem begins. Take the unit out, then take the tray out, its's easy, and give it a light coat of Pam, olive oil or corn oil, the cubes will eject properly. It took me 3 years to figure this out, it willl amaze you.
for everyone with the fan screech noise, replace the fan motor, don't buy the blade, look around the websites, I found it, my second replacement, for 28 but as high as 65.
yeah I hate this fridge too
SOURCE: GE Ice Maker that leaks water down the freezer wall
Ice makers have limit switches, thermal temp sensors, heating element and if anything gits out of order with these parts they will begin to do strange things like that. Now if you would like to remove it and have a look at the internal parts you may find the problem. They are a little easy to loose parts so be careful if that's your choice. A series of about six different cycles happen when they fill until the time it empties and begins again. They may cost less if you don't see what wrong to purchase a new ice maker. If you would like more help feel free to ask, Thanks, Sea Breeze
