What the appliance detected
Detected condition
The refrigerator asks you to check icemaker operation.
What may contribute
Possible causes
- The icemaker may not be operating as expected.
- The cause is not identified for internal homeowner repair in the GE code list.
Start conservatively
Safe preliminary checks
Work in order and stop whenever a step is not supported by the documentation for your model.
Record the exact code and model
- Photograph or write down the code exactly as displayed.
- Confirm the full refrigerator model number and owner manual before taking model-dependent action.
Use only the documented external check
- Check only normal icemaker settings and visible ice-bin conditions documented in the owner manual.
- Do not remove icemaker assemblies or access wiring.
Stop if the code continues
- If the code remains after the documented check, request service rather than opening the refrigerator.
- Protect food safety if temperatures are rising or power has been interrupted.
Actions not recommended
- Do not open sealed-system, compressor, control, wiring, fan, or icemaker components.
- Do not test live electrical parts.
- Do not treat the code as proof that one specific component failed.
When to stop and request service
- The icemaker does not operate normally after external checks.
- Any internal icemaker or wiring access would be needed.
