I have a G.E side by side refrigertor that i replaced the board and heater i noticed that my ice make only made a few ice cubes and only part was made so i emptied the bin of ice dried it and replaced it there is water in the part that puts the ice out but dont make ice can you help.

- There is water already in the ice tray its just not freezing and putting out ice.
Mike, Most times when this happens it's the water control valve for the ice maker side that becomes defective. If using an OHM meter you unplugged the 2 coils and read the OHM's they should be very close to equal. The part number for the water control valve is WR57X10032 and the part number for the ice maker is WR30X10093 Unfortunately the ice maker is electronic and there are no replaceable parts. You can test the ice maker by filling with tap water allow to freeze and if it dumps then the ice maker is good and the water control valve is bad, Thanks, Please Rate Me, Sea Breeze

After about an hour the freezer is 26 and the fridge is 64. The Evap Fan isn't running. I cliped the wires, after I unplugged it of course, and wire nutted them together and ran the unit. I measured 12 volts dc between the white and red wire. So I figured it was a bad fan motor. I purchased a new fan and installed it. Unit still not cooling after an hour. I contacted the appliance repair place and he said that it takes a while even though I explained I had the 12 volts dc going to the motor. Now here's my question, there is a yellow and a blue wire also on that motor harness. Could there be something else that the board is looking for to pass another leg of power to that motor? Because the new one isn't working either. I tested the old one with a nine volt battery. When I hooked the red and the white to the battery I got nothing. But when I twisted the red, blue, yellow together it spun, seemingly slow, but it spun. So that's what brought my question about the other leg from the board. Also I noticed only the bottom 3rd of the evap froze when the compressor ran, so it could be a refrigeration problem too. But it still doesn't explain the problem with the fan.
