Ice & water dispenser not working

No water or ice from dispenser. The dispenser panel does not operate. The light bulb does not light, the panel LED lights do not work, there is no noise or fuctions when the buttons are pressed. Otherwise the refridgerator works fine--ice maker works, etc. Does not appear to be a clog in the lines. This happened not long after I replaced the light bulb. Could it be the interface disp asm? Or is there something else that could be wrong?

I tried replacing the board, but it still doesn't work. It seems like there is no power getting to the board. Any suggestions?

The control board is likely gone bad or a wire harness inside the front came loose. With all those indications, I'd lean toward a dead board.

Ice and Water not dispensing. Light button not working

http://www.repairclinic.com/0100_1.asp
There's an ice- or water-dispensing problem The ice and water-dispensing system of your refrigerator is quite complex. Many components work together to provide the ice and water. Aside from a simple problem of a leaky water tube or a jammed ice chute, most other components are not user serviceable. We suggest that you contact a qualified appliance repair technician for such repairs.

Ice & Water Dispenser Suddenly Dysfunctional; LED lights, too!

Cory, you sound like you have a bad water valve as well as a bad control board for your dispensor. If you've had any storms in your area in the past 4 - 6 weeks, it's very possible that the storm took both parts out.

We have parts for GE as well as mots other major brands, so please give us a call with your complete model number and we will get your parts out to you right away!

We hope this solves your problem and we look forward to being able to assist you with future issues.

Have a great evening.

Well, the solution to this problem was posted in this thread
http://www.fixya.com/support/t1295372-ge_profile_ref_ice_despenser_motor_not

It seems that the bulb in the front panel is pulling to much current as it ages and it makes the control panel in not work properly. Removing the bulb will fix the problem - just fixed mine.

Also seems to match your symptoms (works sometimes and then not others - bulb current is inconstent, light dims when dispense lever pressed - again wrong current draw).

Good luck

GE Refrigerator

first, let us explore the problem with dispenser flap. open the freezer and look into the ice discharge chute. there may be an accumilation of ice impeding the proper operation of the flap. next, you have indicated the light socket is broken. is it just the bulb or the socket itself? if you wish to remove the ice/water panel, first unplug the unit,. then you may be able to unsnap the drip tray where one would sit their water glass. if you are successful in doing this then the panel can be removed with a star driver but it depends upon the fasteners used. Always keep in mind to disconnect power before working on unit. I hope this was helpful.

We have a 5 year old GE Profile, side by side refrigerator which has a constant high pitched whine. I have read information suggesting a possible compressor or fan issue of metal to metal contact which means the fridge is on it's way to failing. And, I have gotten an explanation that this is characteristic of newer refrigerators, with nothing to worry about. What is the issue and what can be done about it?
