GE nugget ice maker producing very wet, slushy ice instead of firm nuggets.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Worn auger or crusher components, Low evaporator capacity, High bin temperature from poor insulation, Restricted condenser airflow

Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing auger or internal components.

Check ventilation and condenser: Ensure proper airflow and clean the condenser coil.
Inspect bin door seal: Make sure the bin door closes tightly to keep ice cold.
Inspect auger assembly: On nugget models, check the auger and crusher housing for wear or damage that could reduce compression.
Replace worn parts: Install new GE auger or crusher components if they are worn or damaged.
