GE TBX21ji Refrigerator/Freezer Factory Ice maker Quit making Ice. The Freezer Temp is set to the Coldest. You can remove the front cover and Manually turn the large gear and it will start to try and turn out the Ice Cubes, but the only way it will succeed is if you pour a small glass of hot water over the Ice Reservoir. The it will dump out perfect sized cubes and refill the Water... This has been going on for 24 Hours. Thanks for any help. Jerry 423-886-5002
Normally, when the temp of the icemaker gets to about 14 degrees F, the icemaker goes into the harvest mode, turning on the mold heater and attempting to eject the cubes. When the heater has warmed the mold sufficiently to release the cubes, the ejector can continue and push out the cubes, then the icemaker fills with fresh water to beging to make a batch of ice again. Manually starting the cycle as you have done only allows the cycle to start without the temp sensor seeing the 14 degrees. The mold heating generally takes a couple minutes. If your mold heater or the temp sensor are not working, you will have to replace the icemaker, as they are not available as a repair parts.
