Symptom
GE ice maker forms ice but does not release it into the bin (ice stuck on evaporator or grid).
Harvest Failure – Release Mechanism
Symptom
GE ice maker frequently freezes up with heavy ice buildup around the evaporator or fan.
Chronic Icing or Defrost Problem
Symptom
GE ice maker ice bin overfilling; ice spills out even though unit should stop when full.

No Ice Production – General Failure
Symptom
GE ice maker overflows water into the bin or leaks water from the front.
Overfill or Drainage Failure
Symptom
GE ice maker producing cloudy ice or ice with white flakes.
Mineral Deposits or Air Entrapment
Symptom
