Icemaker Service Test Mode - GE Profile PSF26PGWBB Technical Service Manual

Icemaker Service Test Mode

The electronic icemaker has a service test mode that can be utilized by the service technician in order to test
basic operation of the icemaker. The service test mode consists of a harvest cycle followed immediately by a
water fi ll. The harvest cycle is entered, regardless of icemaker temperature or arm position.
To enter the service test mode:
1. Turn the power switch to the off position and wait 20 seconds. (The green power light will be unlit.)
2. Turn the power switch to the on position. (The green power light will be lit.)
3. Push the feeler arm from the out position to the in position and back again 3 times and only 3 times
within 20 seconds.
Note: If the icemaker has already started a harvest cycle and the arm is moving, it may be impossible to
properly move the arm and enter the service mode without allowing it to reset and powering up again. If the
icemaker is allowed to go through it's normal harvest cycle, it will take 10-15 minutes after it dumps the ice
for water to enter the icemaker.
While in the harvest mode, the heater will remain on for a minimum of 20 seconds. The water fi ll cycle will
initiate the fi rst fi ll (5.1 seconds) without waiting for the mold to prechill. Only one water fi ll occurs during the
service mode. The icemaker will exit the service test on its own and enter the normal freeze cycle.
