Hello STMicemaker - this is Nancy at GE Appliances. We are sorry to hear that your icemaker is not making enough ice. Ice production is dependent on freezer temperatures, which are affected by the temperature control settings (setting should be 5 and 5 on models with knobs, 0 and 37 for models with electronic controls and 26 cu. ft, bottom mount settings are –2 and 38), door openings, and food load. More food in the freezer will keep the temperatures more stable which will help the icemaker perform more efficiently. The frozen packages act as insulators to keep the cold air in. GE recommends that the freezer be kept three-fourths full for optimal operation. If necessary, use plastic jugs filled two-thirds with water to increase the freezer load to three-fourths of its volume. On a new installation, please allow up to 24 hours for the icemaker to begin cycling. I hope this helps! Thanks for choosing GE and for providing your feedback!
