The Customer’s Concern: No Ice Production
A homeowner in McCordsville, Indiana, contacted Alex Appliance Repair because the refrigerator’s ice maker had stopped producing ice. We visited on November 10, 2026, to diagnose the problem and determine what needed to be repaired.
The diagnosis identified a failed motor in the ice maker. The repair called for a new ice maker assembly, which we installed. A few hours later, the replacement began making ice, confirming that ice production had resumed. The photographs and diagram below show the model, the ice compartment and the assembly involved in this completed repair.
Model Confirmed: GE PYE22KYNDFS
The refrigerator’s original identification label shows model PYE22KYNDFS. The close-up is cropped from the service photograph to make the model number readable. Matching the complete model helps distinguish this refrigerator from similar-looking GE appliances when identifying the correct ice maker assembly.
The supplied exploded diagram shows the ice maker at callout 620 above the other components of the ice compartment. The highlighted assembly corresponds to the unit involved in this repair. The diagram provides a useful overview, while the original photographs show the actual refrigerator and components during the McCordsville service visit.
Replacing the Ice Maker Assembly
After diagnosis, the ice maker with the failed motor was replaced with a new assembly. This was an ice maker replacement, rather than a separate motor-only repair. The service photographs show the assembly outside the compartment beside the removed cover, and a closer view of the wiring connectors inside the refrigerator.
The motor failure was the finding on this particular refrigerator. A complaint that an ice maker is not making ice does not, by itself, identify which component has failed. In this case, the diagnosis determined the replacement needed, and the return of ice production a few hours later established the reported result of the repair.
The Complete Replacement Assembly
This reference image gives a clear view of the ice maker’s housing, ice mold and electrical connectors. It is a component reference supplied with the repair materials, not an additional photograph taken inside the customer’s home. The service photos above document the actual visit.
Replacing the complete assembly addressed the diagnosed motor failure within the ice maker. The completed repair did not require describing the refrigerator’s entire cooling system as faulty: the confirmed problem and replacement were specific to the ice maker. The assembly diagram and reference image help show which unit was involved.
Ice Production Resumed a Few Hours Later
The replacement ice maker began producing ice a few hours after installation. That is the confirmed outcome for this November 10 repair in McCordsville. The repair was completed successfully, and the refrigerator was making ice again.
This timing describes the result observed on this appliance; it is not a promise that every ice maker replacement will produce ice within the same interval. When requesting service, share the refrigerator model and describe whether ice production stopped completely or changed over time. Clear symptom information helps the technician evaluate the appliance.
