Consider what problems and breakdowns can occur with ice makers

• The drain hose or drainage system is clogged

The principle of how the drain hose in an ice maker is connected and works is similar to a washing machine, but clogs occur much more often. In this case, you may notice water and unfrozen cubes inside the chamber. Don't ignore the help of GE Profile Ice Maker Repair and Service specialists and operating rules. Causes - clogged drain or improper connection of the hose (below the proper level).

• Problems with the programmer, valve and thermostat

You had noticed that pieces of ice were freezing on the evaporator. Defrost cycle does not start. Turn the unit off and reset. If that doesn't work, it's worth contacting GE Profile Ice Maker Repairs.

• Clogged nozzles or faulty pump (no water coming in)

Typical signs of malfunctioning are incorrectly shaped ice or incompletely filled molds. The pump is used to force water into the compartment, which comes through the nozzles. If the water is not coming, it means that there is a blockage, which must be removed.

• Opaque cubes are produced

This happens when using hard water, which contains a lot of lime and calcium. Be sure to install a purification filter on the water.

• Faulty thermostat or switch

If the ice maker does not turn on or turns off after 15 minutes of operation, the hopper thermostat is probably defective. No ice will be produced, or the pressure switch will trip in an emergency mode. The hopper thermostat is used to control the ice production. As soon as the temperature in the chamber reaches a certain point, the unit is disconnected from the mains. GE Profile Ice Maker Repair and Service will replace the failed part with a new one and operation will be restored.

• The evaporator is not freezing

Pressure is higher than normal during suction. Water or solenoid valve may be open. Inspect and replace items.

• Evaporator is not freezing properly

Probably the pressure is lower than the norm. This happens as a result of a clogged capillary or refrigerant leakage. A GE Profile Ice Maker Repair technician will find and fix the clog and check the condition of the filter drier. Fix the leak and refill the system with refrigerant.

• Ice takes longer than usual to produce

If the cycle lasts longer than half an hour, half of the cubes are irregularly shaped, which means that the radiator is clogged. The radiator needs to be cleaned urgently. 

• No water in the chamber, no ice

Even if cubes are formed, they are not the right shape. Water is not enough for filling the molds. It is worth checking the stop valve of the filling hose and exclude the problem in the work of the solenoid valve. In this case, it is necessary to replace the element.

• Unstable operation of the pump

Water is coming into the chamber intermittently and unstably. GE Profile Ice Maker Repair and Service specialist will clean manifolds, filters, nozzles. Will check the function of the pump, install a new part if necessary.

• Excessive water in the chamber

The ice mold may not close from too many cubes. This indicates a malfunction in the thermostat, which controls the amount of ice in the compartment. 

• Water under the cabinet

There is a leak in the solenoid valve. GE Profile Ice Maker Repair for this problem is to replace the part with a new one.

• The enclosure is electrocuted

If the ice maker shocks when touched, the connection has been made without grounding. 

• Noisy operation of the unit

When you hear noise and whistling while the generator is running, the condenser micromotor is probably worn out. It is best to replace the condenser motor immediately.

• Indicators on the panel are blinking

The display is trying to tell you that a problem has occurred. Check if there is enough water in the tank and if the mold is not overflowing. If the blinking does not stop, it is better to contact the master.
