I would check the voltage going to the water cotrol valve's=> WR57X10040 Water Inlet Valve Here is a copy of the service manual=> HERE Here is a link to Ge/Artica Service Technical Information=> HERE If you have more questions contact me=> HERE Check for a restricted water flow before it reaches the refrigerator and I also will be here to answer any other questions you may have along with explaing the wiring and other possibilities. The freezer door switch can also be the problem. It locks out the water when the door is open and the switch could be bad or not closing properly. If this has been helpful please rate this solution, Thanks Sea Breeze
There's alot of things to check here, David. But, since it's a GE, I'll assume a defrost problem 'cause they are known for those issues. Is there ice/frost buildup on the rear wall of the freezer? If so, it's not defrosting.
3 things will cause a "no defrost" condition. Failed evaporator thermister, Failed defrost heater and failed electronic control. Your model has problems with the first 2, rarely the 3'rd.
You can get your machine cooling again by manually defrosting it. Simple, unplug it for 24 hours and leave the freezer door cracked open an inch or so. After time is up, plug it back in and it'll cool just fine for a week maybe two, 'til the frost builds back up again. This'll buy you time to get parts and do the repair and besides... it has to be done anyway. Even if you had the parts in hand and did the repair right now, you'd still have to manually defrost it.
Post back and let us know.
Hi ladyjazzy,
If the refrigerator just stopped cooling all at once then you may have either a condenser fan motor or a compressor problem. If it gradually stopped cooling then you may have a defrost problem and need either a defrost heater, defrost thermostat, or a defrost timer. give us a little more infor and Im sure I can figure it out for you. Lots of luck to ya, and I hope I helped. [email protected]
To remove the ice tray from your GE refrigerator model GFSF6KEX, follow these steps:
Empty the Ice: Before removing the ice tray, empty it of any ice cubes. This will make it easier to handle.
Locate the Ice Tray: The ice tray is typically located in the freezer compartment, usually near the ice dispenser or ice maker.
Grasp the Bottom Edge: Stand in front of the freezer and open the door. Grasp the bottom edge of the ice tray on the sides. Be cautious not to place your fingers near the opening at the bottom front part of the bucket where the crusher blades are located.
Lift Up the Front: Lift up on the front of the ice tray so that it clears the stops on the ice bucket rail.
Pull the Tray Forward: Pull the ice tray forward and out of the freezer compartment.
Reinstalling the Tray: To reinstall the ice tray, follow these steps:
Line up the flange pieces on the sides of the tray with the channels in the ice bucket rails.
As you push the ice tray all the way back, lift the front of the tray so that it clears the stops on the front of the ice bucket rails.
Verify that the tray is properly inserted by pulling it forward. It should hit the stops on the rail and not come out. If it does, push the tray further back.
Check for Misalignment: If you're unable to push the ice tray all the way back, it might be due to a misalignment between the back of the auger (located in the tray) and the prongs on the auger motor (mounted in the back freezer wall). To fix this:
Remove the ice tray.
Close the freezer door.
Press the dispenser for cubed or crushed ice; you should hear a snap.
Open the door again and reinstall the ice tray.
Remember to handle the ice tray carefully, especially if it's full of ice.
