Unplug ice maker and remove the cutter grid cover (see Care and Cleaning –
Interior Components). Make sure the white wiring connector going up to the
control housing on the right side is connected securely.
Ice maker will not
turn on
Check that it is plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Be sure that the control is turned on. See “Using the Controls.”
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
NOTE: If problems continue, contact an electrician.
Room temperature must be above 55°F (13°C). Otherwise, bin thermostat

If there was a large amount of water added to the ice maker, wait a few
minutes for the drain pump to clear. If there is still water in the bin, check to
see whether the drain hose is kinked.
For models with drain pumps, check that the drain hose is not damaged, or
kinked or pinched between cabinet and ice maker. Use only GE approved
drain pump kit, Part ZPK2.
Normal
sounds
Your new ice maker may make sounds that
are not familiar to you. Most of the sounds are
normal. Hard surfaces such as floors, walls and
cabinets can make the sounds seem louder than
they actually are. The following describes the
kinds of sounds that might be new to you and
what may be making them.
z You will hear a buzzing sound when the water
valve opens to fill the water pan for each
cycle.
z Rattling noises may come from the flow of the
refrigerant or the water line. Items stored on
top of the ice maker can also make noises.
z The high-efficiency compressor may make a
pulsating or high pitched sound.
z Water running over the evaporator plate may
make a splashing sound.
z Water running from the evaporator plate to
the water pan may make a splashing sound.
z As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling
sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your
ice maker.
z You may hear air being forced over the
condenser by the condenser fan.
z During the harvest cycle, you may hear a
“thud” when the ice sheet slides from the
evaporator onto the cutter grid.
z When you first start the ice maker, you may
hear water running continuously. The ice
maker is programmed to run a rinse cycle
before it begins to make ice.
z If the ice maker is connected to a water supply
pressure in excess of 60 psi, you may hear
a loud sound during water filling associated
with the flow of water through the inlet valve.
Call a licensed, qualified plumber to determine
the best method to reduce the supply water
pressure (50 psi is recommended).
