I have a lot of ice and frost build-up in my GE ice-maker that does not melt off. The ice-maker gets clogged up and will not dispense cubes. The chute just below the ice-maker also has a lot of frost and ice on it. I took out the ice-maker, cleaned it and let all the frost/ice melt. It worked great for a few weeks and now the frost/ice is building up again. What's wrong with it? Thanks so much.

Ice maker want work if freezer bus not around 0F. Are fans running? Is condenser coils clean? Is there any frost build up on inside back freezer wall?

Not a whole lot you can do but to keep the frost down.
If you are able to move the items in the freezer to another freezer and let it sit overnight, all your problems will melt away....
Until a couple months later when it builds up

Make sure to double check your freezer is sealing correctly, bad gasket causes moisture to be sucked in.

Here are some basic ways to slow the buildup

The ice door flap is not closing completely, or, your using a lot of crushed ice .

I have the same problem. Found this posting:

Maybe our heater is not working?

a bad valve will make them stick togather and sometimes hollow but the ge is well known for the back board being bad

The number one cause of this is the door is not sealing correctly. Check that the door closes and seals as it should.

I have a GE Profile PSW26P Stainless Steel Side by Side refrigerator that makes plenty of ice but will not dipense when the lever is pushed. The dispenser makes not sound when engaged. What do you think the problem is.

outside moister cause making frost, probably you can not do it youself,if you know , do it.

I would contact Hotpoint direct for this one. It sounds like a design fault to me.

What I think may be going on is that the cubes are melting too much, then refreezing lower down.

Set your freezer to -18, and the fridge to +2 and see if that changes things any.

Check seals in that area. Where is the moisture coming from to generate the frosting? - Is the location high in humidity?

I see this a lot with people who mainly used crushed ice.  It will leave small pieces of ice behind and add up to a clogged situation.  If you mainly used crushed ice you will need to run full cubes thru every so often to keep the chute clear.  Another cause of this would be the flapper door on the dispenser doesn't close completely and warm air gets in and melts the ice in the bin so it clumps together and won't dispense.  In this case you may need to replace the solenoid that shuts the door and/or the door.  Let me know what you find.
