CIGE Appliances Refrigerator — GE Refrigerator CI Error Code

The CI (Check Ice Maker) code means the GE refrigerator's control board has detected that the ice maker is not functioning correctly. Common causes include an ice maker that is turned off or in the raised (off) position, a clogged or frozen water supply line, a failed water inlet valve that is not delivering water to the ice mold, a jammed ice ejector, or a failed ice maker module. CI is not always a component failure — sometimes the ice maker is simply switched off or the bin is overfilled.

First confirm the ice maker arm is in the down (on) position and the ice bin is not jammed. Check the household water supply valve behind the refrigerator is fully open. Replace the water filter if it has not been changed in 6 months or more — a clogged filter can restrict water flow enough to prevent the mold from filling. If water supply is confirmed but the ice maker still doesn't cycle, force a test cycle using the ice maker's test button. If it hums but no water enters the mold, the water inlet valve (WR57X10032) likely needs replacement.
