GE Refrigerator Error Code Er It

Er It is an ice maker kit defect code on GE refrigerators. It indicates that the ice tray did not rotate and release ice when the Ice Maker Test Button was pressed, or that an electrical fault was detected in the motor, gear assembly, Hall IC sensor, or internal operation circuit within the ice maker kit. The code points specifically to a problem inside the ice maker unit rather than in the main refrigerator control board.

A power reset may temporarily clear the Er It code from the display, but it will return if the underlying fault in the ice maker kit is not corrected. The code is generated based on a real mechanical or electrical failure detected during the ice maker's test cycle. Resetting the unit is a useful first step to confirm the fault is active, but a repair or replacement of the affected components is necessary to permanently resolve it.

Repair costs depend on whether the issue is a simple obstruction or requires replacing the ice maker kit assembly. If a new ice maker kit is needed, parts alone typically range from $50 to $200 depending on the specific model. Adding professional labor, total repair costs can range from $150 to $400. Checking for a physical obstruction yourself before calling a technician could save on diagnostic fees if the cause turns out to be a blockage rather than a failed component.

Start by pressing the Ice Maker Test Button to enter test mode and observe whether the ice tray rotates. If it does not rotate, inspect the ice maker kit for obstructions first, then evaluate the motor, gear assembly, and internal circuit. In most cases, resolving Er It requires replacing the ice maker kit assembly, as the motor, Hall IC, and circuit board are integrated components not typically serviced individually.

The Er It code affects only the ice maker system and does not indicate a hazard to the refrigerator's cooling or food preservation functions. Your refrigerator should continue to cool and freeze normally. However, the ice maker will not produce ice until the fault is corrected, so you should plan for an alternative ice source in the meantime.
