Poor Ice Quality / Low Fill Volume
Ice cubes are hollow, small, or clumped together.

Possible Causes
Low water pressure, Partially clogged water filter, Failing water inlet valve, High freezer temperature
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off water supply before replacing valves or filters.
- Check water pressure: Ensure the house supply valve is fully open and the line is not kinked. GE recommends at least 20 psi.
- Replace water filter: A restricted filter can reduce ice fill volume. Install a new GE filter and flush thoroughly.
- Verify freezer temperature: Freezer should be around 0°F. Warmer temperatures can cause wet, clumped ice.
- Inspect water valve: If pressure and filter are good but ice cubes remain small, the water inlet valve may not be opening fully and should be replaced.
