Use this guide to replace the ice maker in your GE side-by-side refrigerator.
The ice maker produces ice automatically. The ice produced is stored in the ice storage bin.
If the ice maker fails, no ice may be produced, the ice maker inlet may freeze and cause leaks, or the ice may not be properly harvested. In these cases, the ice maker will likely need replacement.
This guide was created using a GE model GSH25KGMB BB side-by-side refrigerator. Other GE side-by-side units should be similar.
