What F107 means on a GE refrigerator

Error code F107 on a GE refrigerator indicates that the freezer icemaker has entered what is called Harvest Fix Mode during 3 out of 4 consecutive harvest cycles. The harvest cycle is the process by which the icemaker heats its evaporator tray to release formed ice cubes into the collection bin. Harvest Fix Mode is a built-in corrective routine the icemaker control activates when it detects that a normal harvest is not completing as expected, meaning the ice is not releasing cleanly or within the expected time window. When this intervention is required 3 out of every 4 harvests, the control board logs F107 to flag a persistent, systemic problem rather than an isolated event.

The root cause is typically related to poor heat transfer during the harvest sequence, inadequate defrost heater output, or issues with the icemaker thermostat or thermistor that monitors tray temperature. If the tray does not reach the threshold temperature needed to release ice within the allotted time, the control compensates by extending heat application in Harvest Fix Mode. A failing icemaker heater, a defective harvest thermostat, or low voltage supply to the icemaker module can each produce this pattern. Ice bridging or excessive frost accumulation around the icemaker assembly can also impede normal ice release and force repeated use of the fix mode.

Because F107 reflects a problem occurring across multiple cycles, a simple reset is unlikely to permanently resolve the issue. The icemaker assembly, its heater circuit, and the surrounding freezer environment should all be inspected. Freezer temperature should be confirmed to be within the correct operating range, as a freezer running too warm can cause incomplete ice formation and lead to difficult harvests.

Common causes of F107

  1. 01

    Failing icemaker heater

    Part replacement

    The heater that warms the ice tray to release cubes may be degraded or partially burned out, causing it to produce insufficient heat during the harvest cycle. Check the heater element for continuity and correct resistance using a multimeter.

  2. 02

    Defective harvest thermostat or thermistor

    Part replacement

    The thermostat or thermistor that monitors ice tray temperature during harvest may be reading inaccurately, causing the control to mismanage the heating cycle. A faulty sensor can prevent normal harvest completion and trigger repeated use of Harvest Fix Mode.

  3. 03

    Excessive frost or ice buildup around the icemaker

    Wiring / connection

    Frost accumulation on or around the icemaker assembly can physically block ice from releasing and interfere with the heater's effectiveness. Inspect the icemaker compartment for visible frost bridges or ice jamming the ejector mechanism.

  4. 04

    Freezer temperature out of range

    Wiring / connection

    If the freezer is running warmer than the recommended setting, ice may not freeze completely before harvest begins, making ejection difficult. Verify the freezer temperature with a thermometer and check for door seal or defrost system issues.

  5. 05

    Icemaker module or control board failure

    Part replacement

    The icemaker control module itself may be malfunctioning and incorrectly managing harvest timing or heater activation. If all other components test correctly, the module may need to be replaced.

Frequently asked questions about F107

What does F107 mean on a GE refrigerator?
F107 means the freezer icemaker has entered Harvest Fix Mode during 3 out of 4 harvest cycles. Harvest Fix Mode is a corrective routine the icemaker uses when it cannot complete a normal ice release cycle on its own. This code signals a persistent problem with the harvest process, commonly related to the icemaker heater, thermostat, or frost buildup around the unit.
Can I fix the F107 error myself?
Some causes of F107, such as frost buildup around the icemaker, can be addressed without replacing parts by manually defrosting the icemaker compartment and inspecting for blockages. However, if the issue involves a failing heater element, defective thermostat, or icemaker module, those components will need to be tested with a multimeter and replaced if faulty. Basic electrical testing skills and comfort working inside a freezer compartment are needed for a DIY repair.
Is it safe to keep using my refrigerator while F107 is showing?
The refrigerator's cooling and food preservation functions are generally not affected by F107, so your food should remain safe. However, the icemaker may produce ice unreliably or stop working entirely as the problem worsens. Continuing to use the icemaker without addressing the underlying cause could eventually damage the icemaker module or related components.
Will resetting my GE refrigerator clear the F107 code?
A reset may temporarily clear the code, but F107 is triggered by a pattern of repeated harvest failures across multiple cycles. If the underlying problem with the heater, thermostat, or icemaker assembly is not corrected, the code will return once the icemaker resumes normal operation and the control detects the same failure pattern again.
How much does it cost to repair a GE refrigerator with an F107 error?
Repair costs depend on which component is at fault. Replacing an icemaker heater or harvest thermostat is typically a lower-cost repair, with parts and labor generally ranging from around $80 to $200 depending on your location and service provider. If the entire icemaker module needs replacement, costs can range from $150 to $350 or more. Getting a diagnostic service call is recommended to pinpoint the exact failed component before committing to a repair.
