🧊 GE refrigerator ice maker not making ice (no water to ice maker)

Step-by-step troubleshooting guide — 5 steps, Fridge.

🔧 Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Verify the water supply line is connected and the shut-off valve is fully open
    ✓ Expected: Water flows
  2. Check the water inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator. Listen for the solenoid clicking when the ice maker calls for water
    ✓ Expected: Solenoid clicks, water flows
  3. If no water flows, check the inlet valve for 120V during the fill cycle. No voltage = control board issue
    ✓ Expected: 120V at valve
  4. Check the ice maker's water fill cup — it can freeze solid, blocking the fill
    ✓ Expected: Fill cup not blocked
  5. If the ice maker has an auger motor: if ice is made but not dispensing, the auger motor or gear train may be seized. Check the drive gear on the auger shaft
    ✓ Expected: Auger rotates freely
