HI, i would advise to check the lines to see if they are frozen over, if the lines are not frozen over, this could also be a filter issue. Most water filters that have reached there operating limit, will not continue to allow the flow of water to pass through, replace the filter if it is needed. If you do not suspect any filter issues, and the unit dose not have a filter, i would move on to the water valve assembly.
The water inlet valve is located behind your refrigerator. Find the water supply line coming into the valve and turn it off at the source (typically under the sink). Disconnect the supply line. Remove the screws that secure the inlet valve in place.
The water inlet valve is connected by two wires. Label the wire placement on the water inlet valve before disconnecting the wires. The wires are connected to the terminals with slip on connectors
Firmly pull the connectors off of the terminals (do not pull on the wire). You may need to use a pair of needle-nose pliers to remove the connectors. Inspect the connectors and the terminals for corrosion. If the connectors are corroded they should be replaced.
Inspect the filter screen where the supply line connects. Remove any debris or deposits that may have built up using a toothbrush
or warm running water. If you cannot clear the clog, it will be necessary to replace the valve (the filter is not removable on most inlet valves).
Test the water inlet valve for continuity using a multimeter. Set the multimeter to the ohms setting X100 (if available, otherwise use the nearest ohm setting). Place a probe on each terminal. The multimeter should display a reading of 200 to 500 ohms. Close inspection of the inlet valve and especially the coil may reveal the exact ohm resistance rating to test for. If the water inlet valve does not pass this test, it should be replaced.

I will try this. GE tells me there is no filter on my model. Also, months later the ice cubes stopped forming. I am going to check out that valve. Thanks!
I replaced the valve which fixed the water problem.
However, it did not fix the icemaker problem.
There are bubbles in the water line to the freezer, so I wonder if that signifies there is no electricity telling the water to go to the icemaker.
I tried pouring water into the icemaker molds and the water froze but I had to manually force the ice out of the molds.
Thanks
