Question about GE (PSS26MSRSS) Side by Side Refrigerator

Ice dispenser jamming

The ice dispenser keeps getting jammed by ice inside the dispenser before it drops down into the door. I have to pull out the ice tray and turn the spiral feeder coil backwards to clear the jam or physically remove the ice. IS there anything that can be done to prevent the ice from jamming.

I have a GE side by side model GSS201EPHWWW. The icemaker won't turn off. It seems like the paddle is too high for the ice in the tub to push it to turn it off.

Have you noticed a smaller sized ice cube? If so, time your water release into your ice maker and see if it is enough time to fill the tray completely (6-9 seconds?). The smaller sized cubes may be jamming-up the ice in the revolving dispenser at the end of the auger.

Just my $.02

After troubleshooting my ice dispenser problem more, I believe the problem is with the rotating plastic dispenser at the end of the auger. The circular plastic dispenser is slipping when ice packs up and resistance is encountered, thereby causing an intermittent failure to dispense ice. The auger shaft rotates properly.

I have ordered a new auger/dispenser assembly and feel confident that this will correct the problem.

There is a revised bucket that's made to prevent that.
If your refrig has a steel liner order WR17X11308
If it has a plastic liner order WR17X11315

Somehow the freezer door became locked and I can't figure out how to unlock it.

There is no lock on your refrigerator for either door. The lock/unlock button is only for the dispenser to keep small children from dispensing ice or water. If your door won't open it could be a few things. First, a package on one of the shelves dropped and is jamming the door on the inside. May require removal of the top hinge so you can tilt the door top forward and look inside to see what happened. Next, you may have one of the door hinges that actually broke and is keeping the door from opening. You will need to look close at both hinges but I would guess the bottom hinge would cause this more that the top since the door weight is all on the bottom hinge. The only thing that holds the doors closed is a magnetic gasket on most side by side models under normal conditions.

GE Icemaker flap door won't open causes ice jam in chute

There is an electric solenoid that opens the door. If you look up inside the dispenser you can see the solenoid. Either the solenoid is bad or the dispenser module that puts power to it is out. You will need to remove dispenser front and check for voltage to solenoid. If you have power from module, replace solenoid, if no power, replace both parts. It is common for solenoid to short out and damage the module so that both must be replaced. If solenoid is shorted and you replace module, new part will fry.
