GE PROFILE refrigerator.. Has been unplugged for months. I plugged it in & it's making noise. Unhooked water supply yet still noisy..

Unplug the Unit, And use a hair dryer to remove all ice....use towels to remove all water from interior.....Set thermostat control to middle setting and set humidity control to hi humidity and plug the unit back in.......

Yes , it sounds like the inlet valve needs replaced. It is located in the compressor area at the bottom back of the refrigerator.

Here is the relay for the compressor. Remove the cover on the compressor to access it. Be sure to unplug the unit first!!

Greetings,
yes, sometimes these motors will make noise for years and other times, they go out pretty quick...so, to answer your question...it would be prudent to have it repaired.....Bruce Denton

ice maker for ge profile wont' make ice.Unplugged elect supply from both waterin the door coil and ice maker coil.Plugged water in the door elect to ice maker valve coil and pressed water in the door input sw out front and got water to ice maker so this let me know it wasn't the solonoid valve.Got another ice maker unit plugged in and mounted waited several days still no ice.

Just a suggestion, you could try installing a filter on the water supply line to the fridge. A nice one should dramatically lessen the frequency of replacing the one in the fridge. As for your the pressure being low, look for a kink or pinch in the water supply line.

Usually the groaning noise is from a locked up icemaker. Remove the icemaker and defrost it with hot water. Check to make sure the unit is in good shape and not chipping. Let it dry out and then reinstall.

Check the compressor.
Unplug for 15-20 min. plug it back in and listen for the compressor to start. You will have to be behind the ref to listen and make sure you hear the compressor start and not just a fan running. If you hear a clicking noise then the compressor relay is bad.
