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.
