Icemaker green light flashing
Moderate DIY

Also shown as

Applies only to GE icemakers with an On/Off switch that has an LED. If a harvest runs past 7 minutes the icemaker tries to fix itself; after 30 minutes it gives up and flashes the light.

Difficulty

Start with the safe checks below; a worn part may need replacing.

Safety first: unplug the refrigerator (or switch off its breaker) before touching filters, hoses or panels. If you smell burning or gas, or see water near the outlet, stop and call a professional.

How to fix GE Icemaker green light flashing

  1. Clear any jammed ice

    Switch the icemaker off (or unplug the refrigerator) and remove stuck cubes from the mold and rake by hand. Don't use a knife or screwdriver.

  2. Run the reset test

    Turn the icemaker off for 15 seconds and back on, then push the feeler paddle exactly 3 times within the first 15 seconds. Within about 3 minutes it should harvest, the rake should turn once, and the mold should refill with water for a few seconds.

  3. Confirm the light is steady

    When the test finishes, the green light should stay on without flashing. Keep your hands off the mold during the test because it gets very hot.

When to call a technician

If the light keeps flashing after the reset, the icemaker's heater or motor has likely failed and the icemaker needs replacing.
