WR30X35285 - GE Refrigerator Ice Maker

The Ice Maker (WR30X35285) is a genuine part manufactured by GE for use in their refrigerators. This part is sometimes referred to as an automatic ice maker or ice cube maker. The Ice Maker operates through a series of mechanical, electrical, and thermal processes to create ice cubes. When activated, it signals the valve to fill the ice mold with water. The freezer's temperature then freezes the water into ice cubes. After the cubes are formed, a heating element warms the mold slightly, loosening the ice cubes for easy ejection. A motor-driven arm then pushes the cubes into an ice bin or tray.

The operation of the Ice Maker is managed by various sensors and control mechanisms. These include temperature sensors to ensure the ice is properly frozen and switches that detect when the ice bin is full. Regular cleaning and checking for ice blockages are necessary steps to maintain the functionality of your Ice Maker.

If your refrigerator is not producing ice, or the ice produced is smaller or larger than usual, it may indicate that the Ice Maker is failing. In such cases, replacing the Ice Maker might be necessary.

Before purchasing, please verify the model number of your appliance to ensure that this part is compatible.
