WR30X30524 - GE Refrigerator Ice Maker

The WR30X30524 (WR30X30524) is a genuine GE Ice Maker part for your refrigerator. This part is sometimes referred to as the ice cube maker or ice generator. It is designed specifically for GE refrigerators, but it may also be compatible with other brands.

The ice maker operates through a combination of mechanical, electrical, and thermal processes to produce ice cubes. When activated, a valve opens to allow water into the ice mold. The water freezes into ice cubes due to the freezer's temperature. Once the cubes are formed, a heating element within the mold activates briefly, loosening the ice cubes for easy ejection. A motor-driven ejection arm then pushes the ice cubes into an ice bin or tray.

This part also includes an auger motor for dispensing ice through the refrigerator's dispenser for cubes or the ice crusher if crushed ice is needed. The operation of the ice maker is coordinated by various sensors and control mechanisms, including temperature sensors to ensure the ice is properly frozen and switches that detect when the ice bin is full.

If your refrigerator is not making ice, or the ice produced is smaller or larger than usual, it may be an indication that the ice maker is failing. In such a case, replacing the ice maker with this part may solve the issue.

Before purchasing, please verify your refrigerator's model number for compatibility with this part.
