HI this is just a test the icemaker runs when you first turn it on, its not suppose to fill up the tray, it will fill it when the icemaker reaches the correct temperature, if its not cold enough in the freezer it wont kick on, if its been sitting for several hours and still wont fill or make ice, you need a new icemaker. The new icemaker part # is WR30X10093

Try to defrost the freezer and see if the air valve opens and closes properly if all of that works then there is a problem with the fan that moves the cold air into the refirgerator

Hi, if your water is overfilling then you probably need a faceplate for your icemaker. If you remove the cover on your icemaker(pry on the corners and pull at same time) You will see a screw with a spring on it. That adjust the water flow. If you tighten you decrease the water. Make sure the gears are not corrioded. If it is. Replace the plate with the gears on it.

Bad relay or bad compressor.

his normally could be a bad start relay and over load for the compressor, dirty condenser coils need cleaning, condenser fan motor is not running or the compressor itself. To check the compressor properly you should test it with an amp meter, each compressor is rated in running amps ( see model/serial tag or the sticker on the compressor )...if the compressor is drawing too much current, this may be why it is shutting off. Check the model tag for proper amp rating. Some relays will be easy to notice the broken with them, they may be burnt.

remove the rear cover inside the freezer if it has a lot of frost on it,then the evaporator coil is frozen up and you cant blow cold air over or thru a solid block of ice,defrost it,then check the defrost heating element,defrost thermostat and timer or defrost circuitry for no power or defective components,you can use a hand held hair dryer to defrost it quicker

Sorry to read about your problem, I hope this helps you out.

Good day,
If replacing the relay and overload didn't help, then it is an internal problem in the compressor itself.
If the machine is under 5 years of age, then it is under factory warrant. Call your selling dealer for details, otherwise you have a major problem. You will need the services of a pro and it will be expensive.

the compressor will run hot,but you should be able to touch it without burning yourself.(when you compress a gas, heat is generated as it turns to liquid and when it expands back to a gas it absorbs heat,the principal of a fridge...)

ok what you need to do is take a hair drier and soffen the gasket with the blowdrier or heat vgun and set it as cold as you can soffen the whole gasket ,,,dont burn it and then shut it tight and use tape to keep iy shut for about 3-4 hrs and it should seal; jaason

freezer may be iced up,defrost it and try again

The water that is pooling and freezing inside the bottom of your GE freezer is definitely coming from the defrost cycle. It does this because the freezer compartment inside the back of your freezer intended to carry the defrost water down to the external evaporator tray is blocked with ice. As a result, the defrost water from the coils overflow the collector under the coils and run down the inside back of your freezer and then the water pools on the bottom and re-freezes when the cycle is over. Unplug the unit for 36 hours and let it completely melt. You can also remove the freezer drawer and melt it away with hot water or use a blow dryer to melt the ice.
