Janet George October 10, 2020 for Model Number PGCS1RKZH ss The ice maker is making ice but it seldom drops the ice in the bucket. We have just had the auger motor replaced and still get only about 6 or 12 cubes in a day. We have replaced the filter and water is running and ice maker fills after doing the test of switching button of waiting 30 seconds and pushing paddle three times. Then the ice drops. Should be replace ice maker with WR30X28693? Thank you.
1 Answer Janet, This issue would most likely be caused by a faulty ice maker which would need to be replaced. Read More...
John December 26, 2019 for Model Number GSH22JFRE BB I have replaced the water valve and I have the other part ordered. I also forgot to tell you that ice is building up on the bottom of the ice bucket. Will replacing the ice maker fix the problem? i think my Ice machine is over filling, plus in the back of the ice bucket is freezing to a block of ice and the ice cubes are frosty and kind of sticky. John for Model Number GSH22JFRE BB ANSWER Hello John, the ice maker assembly is part WR30X10093], the water valve is part WR57X10032.
1 Answer John, if the ice maker is over filling or has a crack in the tray, then this would certainly fix the issue. However, it would be recommended that the door chute is inspected for a possible air leak by shining a flashlight through the dispenser section and looking for any light shining through to where the ice bucket sets on the chute of the inner door panel. If there is an air leak, then the door chute spring WR02X10585 is worn, the flapper WR17X11653 is not sealing properly, or there may be a broken bracket. Read More...

Sooz November 16, 2019 I wanted to comment on my previous question for my GE Cafe, however I couldn't add or delete. I am Sooz and we did get our problem resolved. We changed out our ice maker blower fan, and the new fan didn't seem to work, just rocked off on and on. Now that was when we had the bottom freezer drawer open and then we would open the fridge door to check the upper vent and no air was coming into ice maker. We put the freezer drawer back together and then replaced the control board on the back of the fridge. We then opened the door to the fridge and still no air flow. We didn't think it was fixed, however it started making ice. We then had a thought that we hadn't seen in any blog that maybe when you open the door the air flow stopped so we opened it and pressed the door switch as if the door was closed and then we felt the cold air flow out the upper vent. Our problem was the control board, so now we have an extra fan.
1 Answer Sooz, Thanks for the update. Glad to hear you're refrigerator is up and running properly. Most manufacturers have designed and wired the controls to eliminate the evaporator/circulation fan motors from running when the door is open, this reduces the possibility of the warmer room air being drawn in and circulating through the compartments creating frost and ice. You may want to hold on to the extra fan, just in case, or list it for sale on one of the internet web sites? Thanks Again, Read More...
Sooz November 15, 2019 for Model Number CFSP5RKBBSS GE Cafe We have not been getting ice. We replaced the ice maker. Still no ice. We just replaced the ice maker fan, it would rock a bit, stop, rock a bit, stop. We tap the fan and it started up, and we felt the cool air come in the upper vent. We unplugged the fridge and turned back on and the fan stopped again. We just replaced the mother board, no cool air flowing in vent. Not sure what we should do next, anyone have any other idea's?
1 Answer Sooz, Check for 12-14 VDC across the red and tan wires to the motor. If the power isn't correct, you'll need to check the wiring between the main control board and the fan, as well as the wiring and connectors to the dispenser control board and the upper and lower, left door hinges. Check and make sure the freezer and refrigerator temperatures are in range(frzr -3 to +3 dgrs.F, Refrig. 37-38 dgrs.F.) and check the ice maker door gasket for proper seal. Read More...
Don May 22, 2019 for Model Number PGSS5RKZHSS Not making ice, replaced dual water valve, it slowly made some ice but then started slow drip again in a week and stopped making ice. Cleaned back of dust when replacing water valve. Air blowing in bottom air hole to ice maker but not top hole. Top hole return air or should it also blow air? Think I need your AP6833976 ice maker? Thank you
1 Answer Don, The upper opening in the wall and ice maker compartment should be the air inlet, the bottom opening is the air return opening, you may want to recheck the air flow. You'll need to remove the back wall of the freezer and check to make sure the evaporator isn't blocked with ice, a defrost problem, check the right side wall and ceiling to make sure the return air tunnel isn't blocked or iced over and make sure the freezer drawer closes and seals properly.

St January 05, 2019 for Model Number Wr30x10150 GE icemaker My GE icemaker has power and water. It's also properly responding to a manual test cycle as explained in your site. Lower icebox inlet port air temp is 17F and air is flowing into the icebox, though I don't know if sufficiently well (to GE's spec). However the air temp at the upper outlet port is above 32F. Ice bowl water temp is also above 32F, so ice never forms (I measured all temps with a remote thermometer with the doors closed). Does this icemaker actively (electrically) cool the ice bowl to make ice, or does it use *only* the air flow from the freezer compartment to make ice? I'm wondering if I simply have a cold air flow issue, or if the icemaker does actively cool but is faulty. Process of elimination before I buy an icemaker I may not need. If it's only cold air flow, where/what should I check for blockages and lint? Or for a weak or failing fan somewhere? I'll check the rear and compressor locations, but is there somewhere inside the freezer compartment too? The fridge is a PFCS1RKZH SS. Thank you for any help you could offer.
1 Answer ST, This issue would be caused most likely by an air flow issue. With the icemaker being on the door there would be an ice fan in the freezer compartment that would supply the air flow to the icemaker. There are 2 vents on the left wall one is a supply and the other a return so that when the door switch is closed the fan will come on and you should feel air coming out of one of the vents. If you are not then the fan may not be running. Read More...
Jim November 18, 2018 for Model Number CFSP5RKBC SS This GE refrigerator has a WR30X10150 ice maker. The water in the ice maker will not freeze completely. The fan in the freezer is working and the air entering the ice maker is 7 degrees F. I do not know what the velocity of the air should be, but it is flowing. The round seals on the door are making good contact with the ice maker. A manual cycle causes the partially frozen ice to eject and the unit refills. It just never freezes and the auto process does not proceed. Help me......! Thanks, Jim
1 Answer Jim, My suspicion is two issues. Your airflow is blocked going out. The air needs to circulate or the condenser fan is having issues or condenser is very dirty. Pull out the unit and verify fan is running and the area doesn't have a lot of lint built up. Read More...
Sue September 21, 2018 for Model Number CFCP1RKBDSS Ice maker quit producing ice. Replaced the ice cube maker and the water doesn’t freeze. Thanks for any help. Ice maker is wr30x10150.
1 Answer Sue, you may not be getting cold air from the freezer to the icemaker. Check the blower in the freezer compartment to see if it is running. If not you will probably need to replace it, part number is WR60X10330 Read More...
Jordan August 30, 2018 for Model Number wr30x10150 My ice maker recently stopped making ice. It is 6 years old and up until now it has worked without issue. I felt for ice and there was only water so I tried lowering the freezer temperature by a few degrees and this did indeed work, but the ice did not dispense. A diagnostic test, however, did force the ice to dispense. I suspect one of the problems may be a broken fan, but wondering if there may be another issue at play here considering the ice does not seem to be dispensing automatically.
1 Answer Jordan, With the ice not ejecting on its own then this will most likely be caused by a faulty icemaker. The heater on the icemaker not working or a thermostat being bad. Read More...
