Refrigerator Not Making Ice? Ice Maker Assembly WR01F04991 – Fix No Ice, Slow Ice & Leaks Fast

If your GE refrigerator has stopped making ice, is producing ice very slowly, or is leaking water into the freezer, the ice maker assembly is the most common cause. In most GE French door and side-by-side refrigerators, this is caused by a failed ice maker assembly. When it fails, the unit stops cycling entirely, produces undersized or hollow cubes, leaks water onto the freezer floor, or freezes up solid. ⚡ Common failure point in GE-built refrigerators across the GNE, GDE, GWE, PNE, QNE, and CWE model families. Part WR01F04991 is the genuine OEM replacement that restores full ice production immediately — complete with tray, motor, thermostat, and ejector mechanism.

❓ Is This the Right Part?

This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:

• ✔ QUALIFIER 1 — refrigerator powers on and cools normally
• ✔ QUALIFIER 2 — water dispenser and other functions work correctly
• ✔ QUALIFIER 3 — water supply line and inlet valve confirmed OK
• ✔ ONLY problem is the ice maker not producing ice, leaking, or freezing up
