If your GE Refrigerator isn't operating, first, wait about 30 minutes to see if it's simply in a defrost cycle. If that's not the case, make sure the refrigerator is properly plugged into the outlet. Finally, check the fuse or circuit breaker and replace or reset it if necessary.
How to fix GE Refrigerator ice maker not working?
If the automatic ice maker in your GE Refrigerator isn't working, ensure the power switch is in the ON position. If it is still not working, wait 24 hours for the freezer to completely cool down. Also, check if the ice cubes are piled up in the storage bin, causing the ice maker to shut off; level them by hand. Finally, check for ice cubes stuck in the ice maker; if there are any, turn off the ice maker, remove the cubes, and then turn it back on.
Why is my GE GLE12HSPSS Refrigerator warm?
If the refrigerator or freezer compartments of your GE Refrigerator feel warm, the temperature control might not be set cold enough. Refer to the Temperature Control section for adjustment. If the weather is warm, or you're opening the door frequently, set the temperature control one step colder, also referring to the Temperature Control section. Finally, check to ensure that nothing is obstructing the door from closing properly.
Why does my GE GLE12HSPSS motor run constantly?
If the motor in your GE Refrigerator operates for long periods or cycles on and off frequently, remember that this is normal when the refrigerator is first plugged in, so wait 24 hours for it to completely cool down. This can also occur when you place large amounts of food inside, or during hot weather or frequent door openings, which is also normal. Check if a package is holding the door open. Also, check that the temperature controls are not set to the coldest setting. Refer to the Temperature Control section for further guidance.

If the interior light in your GE Refrigerator isn't working, first, ensure there is power at the outlet by replacing the fuse or resetting the breaker. If power is available, the light bulb may be burned out. Consult the Care and Cleaning section for instructions on replacing the bulb.
Why doesn't my GE Refrigerator ever shut off?
If your GE Refrigerator never shuts off but the temperatures are okay, it is normal. The adaptive defrost feature keeps the compressor running during door openings.
What to do if GE Refrigerator door won't close?
If the door of your GE Refrigerator isn't closing properly, the door gasket on the hinge side might be sticking or folding over. Apply paraffin wax to the face of the gasket.
