What Replace Filter light
actually means.
On GE's 15-inch nugget ice maker the Replace Filter light is lit steady when it is time to order a filter and flashes when it is time to replace it. After a new filter goes in, the Filter Reset button restarts the timer.

What to do when Replace Filter light shows on the ice makerKind of codeMode, not a failure
Something the ice maker was switched into, often without anyone noticing, rather than something that broke: ice turned off from the panel or by the wire arm lifted while reaching into the bin, a control lock, a Sabbath setting, a cleaning cycle still running, a reminder that the water filter is due. No part has worn out, and the ice maker's own buttons or arm put it right.
Usually leads toNo repair
If the light is steady, order a replacement filter.
Shows up asIce Tastes or Smells Bad
The ice tastes bad or smells stale, musty, of plastic or of whatever else is in the freezer, even though a glass of tap water tastes fine.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from GE's own guidance for Replace Filter light on its ice makers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
If the light is steady, order a replacement filter.
If it is flashing, install the new filter behind the access door at the bottom of the unit.
Press Filter Reset after the change so the light goes out.
If the light keeps flashing with a new filter and a reset, book a visit.
Cleared?
The ice maker is filling and dropping cubes again and no part was needed. If the same code returns during the next harvest, or water shows up on the floor again, book it as a new problem.
What not to do
The Replace Filter light alone is not a water-supply problem. When it alternates with the Making Ice light instead, GE means the water supply is low.
