    [FIXED] IceMaker makes knocking noise and stops pushing out ice cubes

    Model Number: PFSS6PKXBSS
    Brand: GE
    Age: 1-5 years

    My GE refrigerator started making loud noise from the ice maker. I've read this forum and was able to remove the unit and verified the ice maker model number which is DA97-05422A. Unfortunately, the date has faded and couldn't be read. I will go ahead and order the replacement ice maker.

    I've also read the GE service bulletin for units made before March 2008, and since mine is made in March 2009, I would assume that I don't need the main circuit board. But it does suffer the same symptoms described in the bulletin, e.g. grinding noise and low ice production.
    My question here is do I need the circuit board? or will the ice maker alone fix the problems? Thanks.

    Since your refrigerator was made in March of 2009, you should not need to replace the control board at the same time. Replacing the ice maker will most likely take care of your problem.

    The ice maker was delivered promptly just two days after order. It took me about 10 min to install. Let it run over night. After 24 hours, I got about 70 ice cubes made! This worked out better than I expected. Many thanks for your help getting it fixed.
