What is the biggest problem with GE refrigerators?

The biggest problem with GE refrigerators based on service data, consumer complaints, and technician surveys is ice maker failure and water dispenser issues, followed by control board failure. GE refrigerators including side-by-side models like GSS25GSHSS, French door models like GFE28GYNFS, and Profile models like PFE28KYNFS commonly experience ice maker that stops making ice, makes small or hollow ice, or leaks water into freezer, due to clogged water inlet valve with sediment, failed ice maker module costing 50 to 150 dollars, or frozen water line that blocks fill, accounting for about 30 percent of service calls. Second biggest problem is refrigerator not cooling or freezer not freezing due to failed evaporator fan motor that circulates cold air costing 40 to 80 dollars, or failed defrost heater that causes frost buildup blocking airflow, or failed main control board from power surge costing 150 to 300 dollars. Third is water dispenser not working due to frozen line or failed dispenser switch. Fourth is loud noise due to failing condenser fan. GE refrigerators have first-year service call rates around 10 to 14 percent, which is near industry average. To prevent biggest problems, change water filter every 6 months, clean condenser coils yearly at back or bottom to prevent overheating, and avoid overfilling that blocks airflow. GE Profile is slightly more reliable than standard GE.
