GE Refrigerator CI — Check Ice Maker

GE Refrigerator · Error code CI

What CI Means

CI means the refrigerator wants you to check the ice maker for proper operation — it is not producing ice as expected.

Symptoms

  • No or little ice
  • CI on the display

Common Causes

1
No or restricted water supply

A closed saddle valve, kinked line, or clogged filter starves the ice maker.

2
Frozen fill tube

The water fill tube to the ice maker is frozen.

3
Failed ice maker module

The ice maker assembly itself has failed.

How to Fix It

  1. Confirm the water supply is on and the water filter is not overdue.
  2. Check for a frozen fill tube; thaw if needed.
  3. If water reaches it but it still will not make ice, replace the ice maker assembly.
