I can not get water or ice to dispense from my GE side by side GSL25JFRF BS model. I actually hear something after I depress it like water is trying to come through, but nothing comes out. Any ideas? IT was working as soon as yesterday. I just noticed my filter may be pretty 3 months older than it should be...but I don't use it very often

2 Other Users Have The Same Problem

We had the same problem and our refrigerator was about 1 1/2 years old. We had a trusted repair guy come out and I believe he replaced the motherboard (I would have to find the repair receipt to see the exact name). I believe the part was around $100 from GE and whatever they charge for the repair. Mine probably went out due to the power outages that sometimes happen in this area. I hope this info helps :)

My GEL25JFPBS is making ice, but not dispensing water. Motor is running, had tech come out only to give me a $125 bill and tell me he couldn't do anything about the problem, that it is in the interior of the door. He checked the tubing and it is working right up to the door. I tried the hair dryer and also kept the light on for 2 days. The line is surely frozen. I tried a hair dryer and kept the light on for 2 days. Neither worked. Any more suggestions?
Clarification Request

Do you have water running out behind the refrigerator? I had a similar problem on a GE when a water hose in the back of the unit cracked. Instead of pumping water out of the dispenser, it pumped out on the floor behind the refrigerator.
- Go to http://www.geappliances.com/ and navigate to "Parts & Accessories"
- Put in your model number, search for it, and select it
- Go to the "Sealed System & Mother Board" section, where you will find parts and an exploded drawing of the back of your refrigerator
2) Get dirty with a helper
- Pull out the refrigerator and locate the valve assembly
- Have someone press the unit for water and watch/confirm that you don't have a leak there.
- If so, locate the leak and replace the bad tubing or other part.
- If not, unplug each hose from the valve assembly and make sure its working. (Water goes in and then probably out two separate hoses to the water and ice dispensers.) Then trace from there to find the problem. (The water dispenser hose probably goes in the cabinet to a cold water tank and from there in to the door.)
