If your GE ice maker is not producing any ice, you can do a few things before calling for service.

1. The ice maker will not produce ice if the freezer temperature exceeds 15ºF. Check the freezer temperature settings. The recommended freezer temperature setting is 0ºF. If the freezer is too warm, ice cubes will take longer or may not form at all.
2. Do not over pack your freezer. A low food load in the freezer can affect the production of ice. A good amount of food in the freezer makes temperatures more stable.
3. A clogged water filter can reduce water flow to the icemaker. You should change the water filter every six months.

Several factors may affect the temperature problems if your GE refrigerator is running but not cooling enough.

1. Make sure to adjust the temperature settings: freezer on 0ºF and refrigerator on 37ºF.
2. Ensure the refrigerator and freezer hold a fair amount of food. Closed containers such as water bottles, food containers, or non-perishables will help stabilize the temperature because the items in the refrigerator absorb the cold and help maintain a steady temperature. The cool air leaks out whenever you open the refrigerator door, and warm air rushes in. The more items in the refrigerator need less cool air to keep food cold. So, when you close the door, the refrigerator returns to a steady temperature more quickly.
3. Make sure refrigerator and freezer doors are closing properly, and the door gaskets seal correctly. Check for the large food items that could be blocking the door from the inside. Try to rearrange your food items on the shelving.
4. Check for the large food containers that might be blocking the air vent. Restricting the air circulation will cause temperature problems.
5. Ensure the refrigerator is in the area where the temperature is between 60°F and 110°F with proper air clearance.

A dishwasher can be a real help in your everyday life schedule, but there are times when the dishwasher stops operating properly. When your GE dishwasher is not draining water, we recommend a few easy procedures you can do before calling for service.

1. Keep the drain-sump filter clean of food and debris. A dirty drain filter will block the water flow, and the dishwasher will wash dishes with contaminated water.
2. Make sure the air gap is clear of food particles. Plugged air-gap will block water drainage.
3. If you recently installed a new garbage disposer, remove the drain plug inside the disposer to allow water drainage from the dishwasher. Always run your garbage disposer before running the dishwasher to clean any food or debris out of the drain system.

We all realize the importance of having a working GE microwave in our everyday lives when one stops working. You can do a few simple things to troubleshoot your GE microwave before calling for service.

For safety reasons, we do not recommend DIY repair on microwave ovens due to the presence of the high-voltage system.

1. When you open the microwave door, ensure the interior light comes on. If the interior light is not working, and the display is off in most cases, that means a blown internal thermal fuse. Of course, not working interior light might be due to a defective light bulb.
2. Make sure the door is closed securely. Close it tight, but do not slam. Sometimes, a misaligned door will not activate the door switch, and the microwave will fail to operate.

If your dryer makes unusual noises, takes too long to dry, or does not heat, call MD Appliance LLC for a quick and easy fix. You can also do some simple troubleshooting on your own before calling for service.

1. Make sure the dryer is plugged in entirely into the wall outlet.
2. Check the circuit breaker.
3. Ensure to select the cycle appropriate to the size and type of load.
4. Make sure the dryer door is closing tightly.
5. Check the door switch. If the dryer door switch is broken or stuck, the dryer will not start or stop running.
