GE refrigerator icemaker showing a green light that is not lit: meaning and exact next steps

a green light that is not lit means GE says the green indicator light is off when the icemaker is turned off and on when it is turned on, so a light that is not lit usually means the icemaker is switched off. This answer applies only to GE refrigerator icemakers that have an On/Off switch and a green LED on the icemaker body, as described in GE's icemaker articles. GE says the reset procedure is for icemakers with an On/Off switch and LED only. Countertop Opal ice makers use a different display and have their own page.

    GE's steps: most icemakers have a green light showing the icemaker is on; if the LED is not on, make sure the icemaker is turned on, because some are shipped in the OFF position. If the light is blinking rather than off, GE says ice cubes may be stuck in the icemaker and points to its flashing-green-light diagnostic.
