GE refrigerator ice maker not working is a known issue affecting GFE28G series. Our technicians specialize in GE-specific diagnostics and repair.
Our Sub-Zero fridge stopped cooling right before a dinner party in our Noe Valley home. The technician arrived within two hours, diagnosed a faulty compressor relay, and had it running perfectly before guests arrived.

“Oven wouldn't heat past 250. Igniter was weak — replaced it and calibrated the thermostat. Baked a cake that evening to test. Perfect.”
GE refrigerator ice maker not working is typically caused by frozen water line or failed water inlet valve. GE-specific factor: water inlet valve solenoid failure from sediment or mineral deposit restriction. Repair costs $100-$350 with free diagnostic and 90-day warranty.
Water inlet valve solenoid failure from sediment or mineral deposit restriction
Ice maker control module dead — no harvest or fill cycle activity
Low household water pressure (below 20 psi) preventing proper ice maker fill
Ice maker fill tube frozen over from door gasket air leak
Dispenser auger motor failure — ice forms but cannot be dispensed
Other GE models may also be affected. Book a free diagnostic for confirmation.
Seeing one of these codes? It likely indicates ice maker not working.
Sacramento hard water (180-250 ppm) deposits scale inside the GE water inlet valve within 18-24 months. The narrow solenoid orifice on GE valves (WR57X10032) is especially sensitive to mineral buildup. Elk Grove and Rancho Cordova homes on treated municipal water still have high enough mineral content to cause problems. An inline sediment filter at the supply is recommended.
Force ice maker test cycle: push wire arm down, then up — motor should run, water valve should click after mold rotates to fill position
Measure water pressure at refrigerator supply valve — must be 20-120 psi; below 20 psi prevents proper fill
Test water inlet valve: disconnect fill tube at ice maker, hold over cup, activate fill — should deliver 4-5 oz per fill cycle
Inspect fill tube for ice blockage — use hair dryer to thaw if frozen; check door gasket seal at fill tube entry point
The technician runs a forced test cycle to isolate the failure point. If the inlet valve is restricted, it is replaced at the rear bottom of the unit — a straightforward 25-minute repair. Dead ice maker modules require swapping the entire ice maker assembly inside the freezer, which takes about 30 minutes. Fill tube ice blockage is thawed and the technician inspects the door gasket to prevent recurrence.
