GE PROFILE MODEL # TFH 22 PR, 13 years old . I have water at the door but the ice maker is making ice that is hollow " not solid ice" I did a complete cleaning of the condenser with a long brush and my shop vac. and also cleaned fan . i made sure the water line to the ice maker is clear .the feeler arm is down "on" position.
made sure all electrical connections good. before this issue it was only making crushed ice and no cubed ice. please help me . regards joe j..

The problem of hollow ice cubes can be caused by low water pressure to the fridge.



If the temperature in the freezer is not cold enough this can also cause hollow cubes.

If you have had this fridge for a few years with no trouble my guess would be the saddle valve.

What happens with the saddle valve is mineral build up in side the line where the piercing valve goes through the line.

Installing a regular pluming tap type valve may fix your problem.

Hey thanks woodchuck. Iwill check that out tonight.. what do you know about the
the this fridge only making crushed ice and no cubed ice? thanks again..

[woodchuck]

I can't find a diagram to show you with the model number you gave but most ice dispensers use a solenoid to direct the ice through the crusher and to bypass the crusher for cubed ice. Try listening for the click and observe the operation. Either bad connection to solenoid or need new one.

Where is this selenoid at the door ?, inside the fridge , or in the bottom rear..

[woodchuck]

It's inside freezer part of the ice dispenser, probably the last part the ice goes through before falling into the glass.

Hi Joemama-

Did you get your icemaker working?
Mine is doing the same thing...only crushed ice.
Just curious if you figured out what was the cause.
Mine is also a GE TFH30prta...probably same parts.

We were having hollow ice cubes and it turned out to be a purifier issue. We changed the filters & membrane then had to add pressure to the holding tank. If you are using a purifier you may want to check yours.

It is odd...my Refridgerator/Freezer (Evap. fan motor) and purifier both went on the fritz at the same time. Thanks to Woodchuck I fixed the Fridge/freezer.

If you did figure it out please let me know what it was so I can start there.
Thanks!
