Appreciate this video, I didn't know that back door even opened. Our ice was just stuck on top and we had to knock it down.

@PartsDr 10 месяцев назад

Great to hear, glad it was a simple fix!

@CJ-cp1zw 6 месяцев назад

Thank You. Now I know how to open my icemaker.

I am getting a 0010 code(thermistor reading out of range). Its the only code I am getting. No ice and freezer isn't freezing. Could this be the problem for both?

@dmbsituation 7 месяцев назад

Doing a simple restart on the ice maker fixed my issue. 1. Turn the switch to off for the icemaker. 2. Wait 30 seconds. 3. Turn switch to on for the icemaker. 4. Press the ice limit lever in 3 times.

Thank you for sharing!

@robertb5922 6 месяцев назад

That did the trick. I removed, cleared and installed the bin. Ice maker Off. Ice Maker On. Push the white plastic lever in the ice bin three times. I heard the ice cubes drop within minutes.

My GE French door refrigerator is new purchased 2 months ago & never used the ice maker nor water. Now that I try get ice it doesn’t make any ice.

@PaulFincke Месяц назад

Thank you. The ice maker was "turned off" by accident. No one saw that one coming.

@PartsDr Месяц назад

You're welcome! It is easy to overlook the simplest things!

Hello. In the video, you mention a link to a video that shows how to access the fan motor. Is there a video available?

@PartsDr 6 месяцев назад

Here is a link to the ice maker fan motor video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SZCXXBQ9n2w.html

Im getting water thru water dispenser but Not getting water to the ice maker. I should only need the water valve thats in the door correct?

@PartsDr 2 месяца назад

It could be the water valve in the door. First, try removing the water line that goes to the ice maker and blowing through it to make sure the line is clear. If the water valve is receiving power and the lines are clear, then that should confirm that the water valve is bad and needs to be replaced. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-X5T42LplFfw.html

My PVD28BYNBES is 54 weeks old and no air blowing in on ice maker got link to blower?

@PartsDr 7 месяцев назад

That exact model number doesn't show up in GE's database. The closest model they are showing is PVD28BYNBFS which uses this part partsdr.com/part/wr60x31997-ice-box-fan

My ice maker went out and then the next day the fridge started making a really loud noise coming from the back freezer. tried unplugging for 24 hours and this helped for a day with the noise but no ice production has returned. I did a deep dive and went through all of the diagnostic codes and all came up clean. water comes from the water dispenser. changed the water filter as well. noise is coming from the back motor/fan in the freezer by the condenser. Freezer also starting having some frost as well. Fridge and freezer appear to be holding temperatures appropriately. any idea on how to trouble shoot further so i can order the correct part/parts? would the water valve not working cause the fan/motor issues

@PartsDr 5 дней назад

If you are getting excess frost/ice build up on the evaporator coil in the freezer, that could indicate a problem with the automatic defrost cycle. This frost can block airflow to the ice maker compartment and cause the ice maker to stop making ice.

My Ge profile refrigerator icemaker seems to be stuck in a loop. The motor to dump runs its full cycle around for 30sec, switches off 30 sec. Then starts all over again. I can feel the tray warm up to dump, but it is not filling with water. My water dispenser works & so does the ice dispenser of ice already made. I did change the filter last week, but everything was fine until yesterday. Now it is stuck in this loop. Even turning ice maker off does not stop the cycle. Nor did unplugging for 30 mins...

@PartsDr Месяц назад

It sounds like the ice maker has failed. We would leave the ice maker unplugged until you can replace it.

@rondraper1948 Месяц назад

Ours makes ice, but water drips from the hole the ice comes from. Could it be the rubber flapper?

@PartsDr Месяц назад

Yes, if outside air is leaking in from the rubber flapper, it will cause condensation to build up around the ice dispenser hole in the door.

@sergior5552 4 дня назад

What if you have an ice maker in the freezer? Neither the top nor the bottom one is producing ice. Water dispenser works fine .Water filter does need to be replaced. Any suggestions where to start? Thanks guys!!🙏🏽

@PartsDr 2 дня назад

Did both ice makers stop working at the same time?

@sergior5552 2 дня назад

@PartsDr Yes! Had a tech come out and diagnosed a freon leak, but couldn't pinpoint it. So he didn't want to fix what he thought it MIGHT be. Quoted me $900 repair. The fridge is less than 7 yo! Not sure if I should dump more $$ into it or not. Any suggestions?? And thanks for replying!!👍🏾🙏🏽

@PartsDr 2 дня назад

@@sergior5552 It might be worth repairing, depending on how much a similar model would cost to replace yours. You will have to make that decision.

@sakiajohnson725 3 дня назад

Mine is on lock mode. How can I fix that?

@PartsDr 2 дня назад

Usually you hold down the lock button for a few seconds to lock or unlock it.
