My GE fridgerator will not make ice and will not

Look under there and see if any junk is blocking the airflow causing the condenser fan motor to howl.You can oil it with zoomspout oil. It is safe for refrigerators. Don't use WD-40 (flammable) Give it a good clean and verify the fan is moving the air down there. Just cleaning it greatly improves airflow and cooling efficiency. Let me know how it does. Give it a day after cleaning.

Ok First thing would be to check that your freezer is cold. After you assure that the freezer is cold then you would have to ascertain if the fan is blowing from the freezer into the fridgerator you can do this by putting your hand over one of the vents inside the fridgerator and you should feel air flowing onto your hand if you dont then the fan willneed to be replaced. If you do have air blowing into the fridgerator then you would have a defrost problem in which you would need a multimeter to test the t-stat which is a small two wired disc like object which is usually found on one of the condensor lines if the tstat tests ok then you would test the heater please note that both of these tests are to be done with the power off and that you would be measuring continuity from one side to the other side. start with the fan and message me back if you have any further questions and please remember to rank how this opinion has helped in your appliance situation and have a great day (also note that if you are having a defrst problem or your fan is not working when you take off the rear panel inside of the freezer you will see an ice build up of some sort this buildup needs to be defrosted and there is also a drain line that you have to assure is free of ice as well )
thanks

Don't know the make and model of your fridge, but most fridges have only one evap coil located in the freezer. The fridgerator compartment is cooled by a fan to blow air from the coil back into the fridgerator section. Check that the fan is working and the vents in the fridgerator are not blocked. Often the problem might be that the defrost circuit is not functioning causing ice to build up on the evap coil thus block the air flow to the fridge. If you seen any ice build up in freezer or refrigerator that could be the problem. If that is the case, then you need to have the defrost circuit troubleshot, typical failures are the heater itself or the defrost timer if you have an older model. Hope this helps you.

why did you stop the ice maker? was it not working properly? was it over flowing or leaking? do you have a sheet of ice forming in the ice maker tray? if your ice maker was leaking then your water valve is not shutting off completely and could be leaking down on the food. if this is the case - you need to shut the water line off coming into the refrigerator and replace your water valve.

if it is frost that is forming on your food instead of ice then you should check to see if the refrigerator is defrosting properly. if the refrigerator is not defrosting properly you would also first notice that the refrigerator is not cold enough and then later that the food in the freezer eventually thawing.

replace deforst timer. just do it

Look on the back panel inside the freezer for ice beginning to show. Most times when this happens the fresh food section is the first to notice. Your refrigerator has a control board on the back. If not defrosting the air flow to the fresh food section is greatly reduced. Let me know, Sea Breeze

I've had the same problem and it is the thermister inside the freezer compartment. There is probably a ice build up there too. remove the 2 screws and check, you can fix this yourself and save $100 bucks.

take off back panels in freezer. you will find ice built up. i used hair dryer ,mine was a blook of ice.
