GE Refrigerator Ice Maker (WR30X35287)

The GE Refrigerator Ice Maker is the self-contained unit inside your refrigerator that automatically produces and harvests ice cubes. It works by filling a mold with water, freezing it, then using a heating element and rotating ejector arm to release the ice into the storage bin below. The GE Refrigerator Ice Maker can stop working due to a failed heating element, worn ejector arm, burned-out motor, or a faulty thermostat that prevents the unit from sensing when ice is ready to harvest. Mineral buildup from hard water, freezing temperatures that are too low, or a cracked mold can also cause the assembly to fail over time. These symptoms may indicate your ice maker needs to be replaced: - Refrigerator produces no ice at all - Ice maker runs continuously without stopping or shutting off - Ice cubes come out misshapen, hollow, or clumped together - Ice maker makes a loud grinding or clicking noise during the harvest cycle - Water leaks into the ice bin or onto the freezer floor - Ice production is significantly slower than normal - Ice tastes or smells unusual and the water supply has been ruled out
