What could be the problem?
I often find this if I put my ice compartment onto high setting that the feed line freezes quickly. If you are sure this is clear (you can get water through the entire length via other means) then I would trace back to the start of your pipes look for leaks at joins from source to outlet, blockages/crimps etc. I also found on one of my lines that the transition near the door hinge was both leaking and crimped.
Remedy = I bought a larger bore plastic tube that would not quite press fit over it and bored it out lengthways with a drill bit the same diameter as the outer diameter of the pipe to perform a splice. The reaming leaves some debris which helps seal everything and if you get a good 3" overlap you will be water tight. I recommend to use an elbow rather than an in-line connection if your pipes change direction but be careful where you choose to put it. other than that if your model uses a pump? Beyond that, I am stumped.
SOURCE: Water is not dispensed but icemaker is working
It's more common to be frozen in the door.
You can disconnect the line under the
unit before it goes into the door at the bottom hinge. Push the dispenser
button and see if it comes out there. If it does leave the door open till it thaws
If it doesn't come out then disconnect
the line to the water dispenser at the water inlet valve on the back where the
water supply comes in and try the dispenser. if you hear the valve work but
water doesn't come out, the valve is bad. If the water comes out then check the reservoir.It's behind the crispers in the fridge.
Testimonial: "As I posted, I'm not sure what the problem/solution was, but its working now. Thanks a lot for pointing me to the crisper!"

I was able to fix the problem. I replaced the Dual Inlet Water Valve. GE Part #WR57X10032. Very easy to do. Takes less than 15 mins. On You Tube there is a video.
