Milo January 01, 2015 for Model Number PFSS9SKYASS Hello, On the ice maker there is a test button on the side. What should happen when that button is depressed. I can find no information on that button other than where it is located. I am trying to figure out if it is the solenoid valve or the ice maker it's self that is causing the problem of my ice maker not making ice?
1 Answer Milo, When you push the test button for 15 seconds the icemaker should enter a cycle. If the icemaker does not cycle then the issue will be a bad icemaker. Read More...
Terry M. September 20, 2014 for Model Number GE Profile PFSS6PKX My ice maker no longer makes ice but dispenses water without difficulty. How do I remove the ice maker as it is not obvious. Is it usually repairable or will I have to buy a new one?
1 Answer Hello Terry, First off be aware that the dual water valve has one valve in it for the water dispenser and one valve for the icemaker. For this reason, the only thing the two have in common is the water supply to the refrigerator from the home water supply. I would replace the water valve first since it is the less expensive part and the more common cause of failure. If this doesn't correct the issue, since the icemaker has no available parts for service, it will have to be replaced. To remove the icemaker, remove the single screw that retains the panel to the bottom left of the icemaker. This allows access to the harness so it can be unplugged. Then simply depress the tab at the front top center of the icemaker and pull. Read More...

Brian April 19, 2014 for Model Number GFSS6KKYCSS Ice maker will not fill up. The water on the door dispenses but ice maker wont fill up and make ice.
1 Answer Hello Brian. Make sure the freezer is between 0° and 5°. You need to check and see if there is power going to the water valve when the icemaker cycles. If so, replace the water valve on the unit. If not, or the icemaker does not cycle, you will need to replace the icemaker on the unit. Also, check and make sure the fill tube on the unit is not frozen and clogged. If so, replace the water valve and thaw out the fill tube. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Randy January 16, 2014 for Model Number GFSS6KKYCSS My GE icemaker does not dispense cubes. It rushes in both settings but only partially. Does the dispenser need to be replaced or could it be something else?
1 Answer Hello Randy. If the icemaker is not cycling and making ice, you will need to replace the icemaker WR30X10131 in the unit. If it makes ice, but does not dispense, you will need to test for power to the auger motor. If there is power there, and the motor does not turn, you will need to replace the motor WR60X10299. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.
