Last week the water was coming from my dispenser slower and slower every day. Today it stopped completely. I by-passed water filter, I replaced it with bypass plug, as always during the replacement process some water ammount came out of the filter installation socket. I assume if there is water presence in the system up to filter, then I have problem somewhere after filter, most probably dispenser? Ice maker and ice dispenser working as designed. What is solution of my problem?
Grandfunk, by your post, it sounds like the line is frozen over. You will have to do some tests. First rule out the dispenser itself. While someone is calling for water see if you have 120V to the water valve. If you do, we ruled out the dispenser. Behind the toe panel there should be a water line with a john guest fitting going up the door. Disconnect it there and call for water. Catch it with a cup. If the water is flowing there, you might be frozen up in the door. I have found a couple of these models with that problem. If it's not flowing there, behind the lower drawers in the refrigerator section is the water coil tubing. Take a hair dryer and go over it lightly. It could be frozen over there. Check these things first and post back. Catriver.

Most times the dual water control valve is defective and you
can run the simple test found HERE. Click Here for the part that fits your GS5SHAXSB00=> W10408179
Water Inlet Valve
Here is a link to your
All it takes is for either the ice maker side or the dispenser side of the water control valve to become defective and the complete water control valve will need to be replaced. I will be here should you have any questions, Thanks Sea Breeze

I just checked everything you suggested and I found frozen pipe in door. Thanks for your help. You are the best. Thanks again and again!!!
GE Profile Artica...slow water, now almost no water and ice maker has stopped making ice.
After replacing filter, the water flow completely stopped. I have also had many of the same fan variation speed problems reported by many others. This refrigerator has had problems since the day I bought it. I will never buy another GE refrigerator, or microwave for that matter. The microwave completely failed after about 2 years of use. Not good.
