How to fix your GE Refrigerator if it stops making ice. Easy quick Ice Maker fix if your ice tray suddenly stops filling. Check for this issue before going forward and assuming the worst. Hope this helps others out there that have the same issue.

I'm not an appliance repair man but came across a few people with the same issue. After fixing it the ice is once again filling great. This fridge is about 56 years old.

UPDATE: If you notice that this happens again after this fix and you are noticing ice buildup in your freezer you need to replace your freezers defrost heater. It is located behind the rear panel inside the freezer section. Easy to remove. Look for some screws around the panels edge. The heater is a glass tube about 10" long located near the lower half, with a heating 'wire'element inside. It will look burnout. Mine did. Simply cut the wires leading to it and snap in the new replacement. Strip and twist the lead wires back and done. Approx $30$40 part and 20 minutes work. I did this myself and purchased the GE parts on Amazon. The parts I used are in the links below but please double check your model. While you're in there it's a good time to replace the small thermostat sensor too but this is not required.

After the fix in this video and later on replacing the parts in the links above I have yet to experience any problems with my fridge again. Completely like new. Cold drinks for all and no more ice build up!!!!
