How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before touching the control board.
- Power cycle: Unplug the unit for 10–15 minutes to allow the control to fully discharge, then restore power.
- Check configuration jumpers: On some GE boards, small jumpers or plugs set model options. Verify they match the original configuration (refer to the tech sheet on the unit).
- Confirm correct board: Ensure the installed control board part number matches the model of your GE ice maker.
- Replace control board: If F9 persists, the board memory may be corrupted. Replace the main control board with a new, properly programmed GE board.
