Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning coils or servicing the fan.

Step 1 – Clean condenser coil: Vacuum and brush the coil thoroughly.
Step 2 – Check condenser fan: Ensure the fan runs whenever the compressor is on. Replace the fan motor if it does not run.
Step 3 – Improve ventilation: Provide the clearances specified by GE around the unit. Do not block the front grille.
Step 4 – Monitor ambient temperature: If the room is very hot, improve air conditioning or relocate the unit.

Exterior of the ice maker cabinet is hot to the touch, especially near the sides or top.
