The most common problem with a GE refrigerator is ice maker not working or not making ice, accounting for about 30 percent of service calls, followed by refrigerator not cooling properly while freezer still cold. For GE refrigerators including French door models like GFE26JYMFS and GFE28GYNFS, side-by-side GSS25GSHSS, and top-freezer GTE18GMHES, ice maker failure after 3 to 6 years is top issue due to water inlet valve clogged with sediment and hard water scale, ice maker mold thermostat failing, or ice cubes jammed in mold, causing no ice, small hollow cubes, or ice maker not cycling, repair involves replacing water inlet valve at 20 to 50 dollars and ice maker assembly at 50 to 150 dollars. Second most common is warm fridge section but freezer cold, due to evaporator fan motor failure that circulates cold air from freezer to fridge at 50 to 100 dollars, defrost heater failure causing frost buildup on evaporator coils that blocks airflow, or damper control failure that regulates cold air to fridge. Third is water dispenser not working due to frozen water line inside freezer door or failed dispenser switch. Fourth is water leaking inside fridge or onto floor due to clogged defrost drain hole that freezes and causes water to overflow, fix by clearing drain with turkey baster and hot water. Regular maintenance like changing water filter every 6 months and cleaning condenser coils yearly prevents many GE refrigerator problems.
