GE GNE27JYMFS 27 cu ft Energy Star French Door CI Error Fix: Ice Maker Error

Error code CI on the GE GNE27JYMFS 27 cu ft Energy Star French Door means: Ice Maker Error. The ice maker system is not functioning properly — the ice maker may have jammed cubes, the water supply line may be kinked or frozen, the water inlet valve may have failed, or the water pressure is too low (requires at least 20 PSI); check the ice bin for clumped cubes that are jamming the rake mechanism; listen for the ice maker cycling — if no sounds are heard every 1-2 hours, the ice maker module may have failed; the fill tube at the back of the freezer can freeze, blocking water flow
