GE Refrigerator Ice Maker Not Working? Same-Day Repair

GE refrigerators — including Profile, Cafe, and standard models — commonly develop ice maker problems. The ice maker may stop producing ice entirely, make too little ice, or produce small or hollow cubes. Common causes include a failed water inlet valve, a frozen fill tube, or a faulty ice maker module. Our technicians carry GE ice maker parts and often complete the repair during the same visit.

Common Causes

1

Failed Water Inlet Valve

The valve that feeds water to the ice maker may have failed or become restricted by mineral deposits.

2

Frozen Fill Tube

The small tube that delivers water to the ice maker tray can freeze solid, blocking water flow.

3

Faulty Ice Maker Module

The motor assembly inside the ice maker that cycles the ejector arm may have burned out.

4

Low Water Pressure

Ice makers need at least 20 psi of water pressure. Low household pressure can prevent the valve from opening.

What You Can Check First

Try these before calling for service — they may resolve a simple issue.

Make sure the ice maker is turned on (check the arm or switch)

Verify the freezer is cold enough — at least 0°F for proper ice production

Check the water supply line behind the fridge for kinks

Look at the fill tube in the back of the freezer for ice blockage

GE Refrigerator Ice Maker Not Working FAQ

The most common cause on GE models is a failed water inlet valve — it's an electrically controlled valve that opens to fill the ice maker tray. When it fails, no water reaches the ice maker. Replacement typically costs $150–$250.
Most GE ice makers have a reset button or a test cycle you can trigger by toggling the on/off switch. If resetting doesn't restore ice production within 24 hours, a component has likely failed.
