We absolutely loved our GE countertop ice maker.  We used it every day.  After owning the machine for just over a year, it died.  We followed the step by step directions to fix it, and found little success.  When I called a service man to come out, he informed me they do not work on these GE countertop machines.  I miss my ice and hate the idea of throwing it out.  I wish it lasted longer for the price I paid.
