actually means.
The GE Profile UNC15NJII lists flashing lights with no ice as an auger motor that is not working or is overloaded. The auger is the screw that pushes ice through a nugget ice maker, so when it stalls, no nuggets come out.

What to do when Lights flashing (auger) shows on the ice makerKind of codeDispenser and auger
The dispenser was asked for ice and could not deliver it: the auger motor stalled against a frozen block, the flap at the bottom of the chute stayed shut, or the paddle switch never told the control it was pressed. Emptying the bin and thawing the chute come before the auger motor, the door flap solenoid or the switch is replaced.
Usually leads toIce dispenser and auger repair

What not to do
These flashing lights are not the red Check Water signal. A stalled auger will not clear with more water; it needs the motor and the auger checked.
