GE Side by Side Refrigerator dispenses ice but no water

My 3-year-old GE side by side refrigerator suddenly stopped dispensing water. When I press the water button, the green light won't even come on. Both lights on crushed and cubed ice will come on, and both types of ice dispense, and the ice maker is still making ice, so I know it's getting water that way. I tried running a hair dryer on the flat part of the freezer door behind the dispenser, but nothing happened. I also tried turning the light on that comes on when you press the white lever back for ice. I left it on all night, and still nothing happened. I am not mechanical enough to check water valves and replace solenoids (this may not be correct terminology). If I have good enough directions, I'm willing to try though. I would appreciate any help!!

My refrigerator water dispenser stopped suddenly yesterday. Water connection is good, filter is 3 months old, switch clicks on main panel. Have held switch down for a while. ???? Help please

Is the ice still dispensing? If you still are able to dispense ice then its possible that the water storage tank is frozen. The water tank is located in the back of the refrigerator section behind the crispers so they can sometimes freeze. You can try turning up the refrigerator section 1 setting warmer. If that doesn't fix it it's possible the solenoid for the water side on your inlet valve is bad.

My water dispenser suddenly has stopped working.

Yes, it could be the water filter. Also check to make sure the water is turned on and that any lines to the refrigerator aren't kinked or crushed somewhere. It's also possible that you will not be making any ice as well if your appliance has an ice maker

I have a GE side by side refrigerator model # PSS26SGRD and the water and ice dispenser stops working without any warning or symptom intermintently. It will be working find for days or weeks and suddenly...

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
