One year old GE french door bottom freezer automatic icemaker stopped making ice. Husband bought $40 new filter, installed it. Still not making ice. Green light which according to manual is supposed to go on, doesn't. Just warmed up the freezer section to see if perhaps the line is frozen? Also, the instructions say the filter blade should be installed verticlally or positioned vertically but not to force it. It is horizontal and was also that way when new. Prior to the icemaker not making ice two days ago, I heard a squeaking sound.??? Thanks.

It's a fairly NEW GE Profile French Door Bottom Freezer 25,1 cubic foot refrigerator.

The GE filter he put in last evening was a Smart Water GSWF interior refrigerator refill.

It was purchased yesterday at the appliance dealer who sold us the GE.



The instruction booklet says that the filter cartridge should be positioned vertically but when my husband installed it as directed.....it only locks in horizonatally. That's also how it was when NEW.



As far as freon.........two years ago when an older frig in the garage leaked freon, they told us not to add any.......we just got rid of it. Where is the freon put in????? On a new refrigerator?

I haven't come across any info on that in the manual.



Right now, I raised the temperature on the freezer side to see if maybe the line is frozen????

If this means anything at all..............the water is coming out of the dispenser on the door.

The "reset filter button" which I am supposed to press and hold for 3 seconds just turns red and then goes off. No green light. Again, talking about the control panel on exterior door.



We've had tons of ice until about two days ago. Our manual says when ICE DIMINISHES, it means you need a new filter........so we got the appropriate GE Smart Water GSWF which is a twist and lock system. He could try "later today" taking it out and reinstalling it......according to what the manual says. ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS ON something else besides freon? Again, this is a new appliance......one year 6 or 7 months old. Thank you for the freon idea..........we shall see.
