John July 30, 2018 for Model Number PFCS1RKZJ SS Hi there. I’m trying to troubleshoot as to why my GE profile PFCS1RKZJ SS French door bottom refrigerator won’t produce ice anymore. The model number of the icemake is WR30X10150. I’ve already replaced the water valve with a WR57X10032 and still it won’t produce ice. Before I consider buying a replacement icemaker, I was wondering if there are any circuit tests I can perform on the current unit. I’ve removed the current icemake from the compartment. I have a multimeter ready to see if there are any tests to perform. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
1 Answer John, about the only real check you can do on this icemaker is to manually cycle the paddle back and forth 3 times to put into a manual harvest cycle, if it will not cycle and the switch is on, you will need to replace the icemaker, part number is WR30X28693 Read More...
Rob March 30, 2018 for Model Number pfss5rkzhss / wr30x10150 I have an IceMaker model WR30X10150. Ice maker virtually stopped working, producing 1 tray every week. After reading your helpful replies I decided to try to tackle this myself. I thoroughly cleaned the condenser coils with a vacuum/blowgun. I removed the rear freezer compartment cover and confirmed the circulation fan is working. Cold air can be felt blowing from the lower opening in the side wall of the refrigerator. Notably, it blows into the bottom section of the ice compartment (diagram shows it is supposed to blow in the upper?). Not sure if this is a problem as it would make sense to blow the coldest air at the top where the water is. The refrigerator is set at 33°F, Freezer set at -6°F. Ice maker now produces ice, but very slowly and ice is very clear and hard with no air in it and is also hard for the crusher to grind up as most cubes are attached to each other. I have often put my hand into the tray and the water is usually not fully frozen leading me to think it is either not cold enough or there is a defrost timer stuck in the on position. I took the Ice Maker unit out and apart as much as I could, but there are really no serviceable parts that I could see and nothing was broken or damaged.
1 Answer Hello Rob, You will need to verify the ice fan WR60X10330 is running. This is the one on the left-hand side in the freezer compartment. Read More...
Richard March 13, 2018 for Model Number PGSS5RKZCSS Hello again! This is related to the question I asked earlier regarding the ice maker not working properly. I did confirm inside the freezer the temperature is as expected (0 to 5F). But where the ice maker is located (behind the dispenser door), it is not cold enough (27F) - I did check the airflow and it seems cold air is being blown into that compartment. Any guess what is wrong? Thanks!
2 Answers Richard, There are several things to check. Make sure the left side refrigerator door is properly aligned to the cabinet. Make sure the air tunnels and seals on the side of the door and inner surface of the liner align and seal properly. Then you will need to check the Then you'll need to check the WR60X10330 / WR60X10330 Ice Compartment Fan(inside the freezer evaporator cover) to make sure it is running at both the high and low speeds, and not "stuck" or running intermittently. Please include an e mail address, if more assistance is needed, so we can send you the illustrated information if needed. Thanks, Read More...

2 Answers Richard, For this issue it would either be an issue where one of the air ducts is blocked or you have a faulty ice fan part number WR60X10330. Also keep in mind that it could take up to 24 hours after installation of the icemaker to operate properly. Read More...
Richard March 12, 2018 Hello, I'm having trouble with my ice maker WR30X10150. The older one stopped making ice so I ordered a new unit. After installing it, the water is frozen in the mold, but it doesn't eject the ice. Any idea what could be wrong? Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Richard. Make sure the temp is 0 to 5 ° for the icemaker to cycle. If it is to warm, it will not cycle. We will need your model number to help you more with this. Please call 1-877-477-7278 or post your model number with a new question on the parts page. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx Read More...
A.K. January 22, 2018 for Model Number WR30X10150 Does the “ice maker” itself make the ice or does it rely on freezer air for the ice creation? We didn’t have water hooked up for the longest time but when we got water installed and opened the freezer mechanism the switch had already been ON. It makes ice and ejects but only seems work after a day and resetting the switch and a prayer or two. There is cold air blowing out the lower hole of the refrigerator. I am assuming the upper hole is a return as it seems to be warmer.
1 Answer Hello A.K., The icemaker does not produce the temperature that makes the ice. The freezer provides the temperature drop and the cycling thermostat cycles when it senses that the water in the ice mold is cold enough to be frozen, (20°F). If the icemaker was on for a long time with no water connected, the icemaker assembly has most likely failed. For a more detailed diagnosis please post a new question that includes the model number from your units' I.D. tag. This will enable us to see what configuration appliance you have in your home and we will be able to provide parts that we can guarantee will work on your unit. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...
Fred October 12, 2017 for Model Number Cfsp5 rkbcss My ice maker stopped making ice. We played around with it multiple times over the course of two weeks and it started up again then stopped a day or two later. Played around with it again and it has been working the last couple of weeks however it only fills up about half way with ice. And now it stopped working yesterday. Looked at it this morning and there are only 6 icecudes made. The temperature has been at 0. Would replacing the ice maker correct this problem?
1 Answer Hello Fred. Make sure the temp is 0 to 5°. if so you will need to order and replace the icemaker WR30X28693 on the unit. Thanks. Read More...
Craig September 29, 2017 for Model Number cfsp5rkbcss Replaced the icemaker, still no ice. I believe the fan motor that blows freezer air to the ice maker tray is not blowing. Where is that part located, how do I change it? I'll try defrosting the air passage first, but I believe this fan is my culprit and cannot find repair help online for this issue...
1 Answer Hello Craig. You will need to order WR60X10330 for the fan needed. It is located behind the freezer back wall. If you remove it, you can replace the fan motor. Thanks. Read More...
Cecil September 26, 2017 for Model Number PFS5RK7ASS On my GE Profile refrigerator, model # PFSS5RK7A SS, the ice maker intermittently stops working. If it stops and I manually switch the ice maker off, wait 1-2 hours, then turn it on again, it works for several hours to several days. Would replacing the entire ice maker correct this, or am I on the wrong track? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Cecil. Make sure the temp is 0 to 5°. If so, then yes you will need to replace the icemaker. Thanks. Read More...
Bobby March 14, 2017 for Model Number pfsf5rkzabb The icemaker is not making ice. We replaced water valve and icemaker. Still not making ice. Suggestions?
1 Answer Hello Bobby. You will need to make sure the icemaker is turned on. Also make sure the fan motor is working to bring cold air to the icemaker. If those are good then you will need to look for a frozen fill tube on the unit. Read More...
