Hollow ice cubes are accomplished by premature cube ejection...

The best GENERAL information on ICE-Makers
is appliance-aid (SEE below).

Adjustment details SHOULD be in your OWNERS Manual.

There are two adjustments hidden on MOST ice-makers.
- One controls fill time (SIZE: bigger/smaller cubes)
- Yours would be cube FIRMNESS
(hollow = not completely frozen).

The water inside the cubes should also be causing
"clumping" issues in the "BIN"... (I just saying).

Not enough water is being pumped into the icemaker. The water pressure in the water line coming into the refrigerator may be too low, perhaps due to a blockage somewhere.

Move the refrigerator enough to get behind it. Turn off the water at the small valve which connects the water line from the house plumbing to the tube going into the refrigerator. Get a bucket. Remove the refrigerator water line from the on-off valve (there should be a compresson nut holding it on). Point the incoming water line into the bucket and open the valve. Do you have a good flow of water? If so, either there is a blockage in the tubing within the refrigerator or the water valve at the bottom of the back of the refrigerator is malfunctioning.

Hollow ice cubes. Ocassional clunk sound and

Hollow cubes indicate the water inlet valve is defective ( not letting enough water into the ice maker ) . Replace the valve behind the refrig ( the piece the wall water lne connects to on the refrig ) . Do not try adjusting the water on the ice maker itself , even if someone else suggests it , as this adjustment is factory preset .

GE Profile Refrigerator Ice Maker not working

Pour about 2/3 cup of water into icemaker . If it freezes and dumps the cubes , replace the water inlet valve ( piece on back of refrig that the wall water line connects to ) . If it doesn't dump the cubes , replace the icemaker . Also make sure the coils are clean under the front at the bottom of refrig , or the squirl cage behind refrig ( model number would have helped ) , of dust , lint , pet hair etc .

Ice maker makes hollow ice cubs or cubes with

Whats happening is the ice isnt freezing all the way. Try cleaning your condensor's under the frig.In Hotter weather when condensor's get filled with dust it causes the frig to cycle to ofeten. In turn your cubes aren't freezing all the way.

Ice maker is making hollow ice cubes, some only half frozen

Most ice makers have an adjustment screw to control the cube size. Its usually hidden behind a plastic panel on the front of the ice maker. A quarter turn either way and some trial and error testing should get you pointed in the right direction to your ideal ice cube.

Ice maker quit making ice

your refrig has a built in bypass in the filter housing so yes it will work with out a filter in place. if you have not replaced your filter in the last 6 months that is likely the problem. Hollow cubes are usually a sign of not enough water getting into the icemaker then it cycles too fast and harvests hollow cubes.

when the hollow cubes fall into your bucket they bust and put water in with your cubes freezing them together. so by solving your water supply problem you'll solve most of your icemaking issues..
