Default Recurring GE Ice maker problem; help


Arthur wrote:

maker is 3 years old and has just begun to show symptoms similar to
those of the previous unit, although the current one is of a very
different design from the previous ones. The current unit is the
so-called "electronic" variety with apparently more sophisticated
methods of monitoring fill, condition of the ejector, heater, etc. (It
is GE middle IM-4). The symptom is that it appears to overfill, very
slightly, so that, in addition to the cubes, I will find an increasingly
large puddle of frozen water in the ice bin in the area under the fill
tube.


Are there calcium deposits in the icemaker section, causing the
ice to not eject completely during the ejection cycle? Wouldn't
take much residue left in the tray to cause an overfill.
