    We replaced the main board, dispener board and evaporator fan. We did this under the G.E.Board concession program offered by the company in an extension of the warrenty.

    I have a GE GSS22IFRFBB. There is an almost constant clicking sound in the rear of the unit. This clicking has been ongoing for about 6 weeks. I've noticed that if I try to dispense Ice or water, the light dims and the compressor stop running. As soon as I let up on the dispenser, the compressor kicks back in. Within the last two weeks, the refrigirator compartment is warming up. The freezer is holding its temperature, but we've had to move everything out of the fridge. It sounds like the defrost cycle is not engaging. If I don't have to replace the main board I obviously don't want to. I'd appreciate any input. Thanks.

    GSS22IFRFBB water and ice dispenser doesn't work and when pressed the light dims and compressor stops running. After let go, compressor starts again. Fridge and freezer have recently started warming up also. I'd like to fix myself but unsure how.

Sound like maybe a dispenser board short... you could try taking of the top hidge cap on the freezer side unplug the power to the board there for 30 minustes or so plug back in and see if it can reset to default and try that before u have to change board

When pushing ice dispenser on GE side by side light dims and nothing happens

sounds like a large current draw is causing the light to dim most likely the cause is a build up of ice around the auger motor or the auger is seized.

Water dispenser is not working no water dispenser

If the light is dimming when you try to get ice (dimming then getting bright in cycles) then thisis a common problem and GE will fix it. The Main circuit board on the back goes bad causing the ice\water dispenser to quit working then eventually the fridge quits cooling. Call 800-386-1215 and tell them the problem. There is a recall for the board

GE Profile Artica - Water & ice dispensor not working.

This could be as simple as the door switch or as complex as the dispenser control board. I would try the door switch first. When the door is close it turns on the dispenser controls. If the contact is defective in the door/light switch then this happens. Unplug remove the door switch and mark wire locations. 1 Powers the lights and the other powers the dispenser. and one is the power itself. Sea Breeze

Makes ice fine but doesnt dispense

Sounds like the dispenser auger is frozen up or stuck. The lights dimming happens because the voltage drop from the stuck auger's motor when you try to use it. Remove the ice machine and clean it. Do not try to take it apart!
Sometimes, the ice machine will fill too much with water and get stuck. Often, it's because the cabinet isn't level.

Water and Ice dispenser quit functioning

the solution to this problem is so simple it makes me laaugh out loud. the bulb in the door that illuminates when a glass is placed under the water dispenser draws too much current when it gets old. just remove the bulb and it will work fine. you can then replace the bulb whenever you find it at a hardware store. I had the same problem, and spent hours online looking and was ready to buy a new motherboard to fix it. I have alot of faith in GE, and all of the bashing is a horse ****. GE makes turbine engines that power alot of the airplanes we fly in and i think they know a thing or two about engineering.

Door dispenser stopped dispensing, starting making a constant clicking and now the entire fride isn't working

We had the same problem. Our frigerator is 1.5 year old. Everytime we try to dispence water or ice the dispencer clicks and the whole thing turns of. We had a GE repairman come by: the electronic board needs to be replaced: total cost $350. (cost of the board only: $150. We are considering disconnecting the dispencer by unplugging the board (according to the repain man the ice maker wil still work)or buy a new refrigurator (for sure NO GE!!!!!!)
