Found out most ice maker failures are just from old water filters
Was digging through some GE service bulletins last night and saw a stat that blew my mind - something like 60% of ice maker no-ice calls are actually just clogged filters, not the machine itself. I had a job last Tuesday where the customer swore the auger motor was dead, swapped the filter for $12 and it worked perfect. Has anyone else noticed how many calls you can save just by checking the filter first?

@emmam32 yeah it really makes you wonder how many techs just skip the obvious fix and go straight to ordering a $200 control board right? I had a call last month where the guy already bought a new ice maker off Amazon before I even looked at it. Popped in a fresh filter and bam it worked fine. Why do you think most people assume the worst instead of checking the simple stuff first? Like is it just the convenience of blaming the machine or what?

Isn't it crazy how something so simple as a water filter can cause all that headache?
