Hello - our GE side by side fridge just started making a steady noise from the back like a clock ticking loudly & slowly. When I opened the door the digital setting was not lit and it appears the fridge will not turn on. The water & ice dispeser doesn't work and all the lights, inside & out flicker as the steady noise is made.

You have a bad relay on the mother board. It is behind a panel on the back of the fridge. You can view a diagram at http://www3.sears.com/imaging/ImagePageJava.shtml?productTypeID=0165000&brandID=0432&modelDesc=REFRIGERATOR%20R%20SERIES&modelNumber=GSH25KGREWW&documentID=G0502132&documentTypeID=PLDM&documentClassCode=PV&titleType=SEALED%20SYSTEM%20%26%20MOTHER%20BOARD&titleID=00008& It is # 801. The part # is WR55X10552 and cost is $124.69 @ http://www3.sears.com/. I replace this board all the time. Make sure to unplug the fridge first!
I have a GSL22JFREBS with precisely this same problem. GE is on the phone now and told me they have a program for replacing the motherboards! So, it will be fixed and apparently no charge!
thank you all for posting.

The solution given was correct. As I had already made an appointment for the GE tech to come out the next day I let him come. He immediately replaced my motherboard and charged me nothing for the part or service. I wonder if the problem is so widespread there should be a recall & they are trying to avoid it.
firg. side is warm and the freezer side is working great i checked the damper door and it was cracked open a little
is their supposed to be forced air when the temper gage is on coldest
my ge gsl22jfrebs makes a clicking sound like a clock its only a year old is there a factory warranty. what could be the problem
My refigerator is also clicking. On another website I found a letter from the repair supervisor alerting all GE service personel not to charge for this repair when the motherboard dies as it is clearly a pervase reliability problem.
On my street, 2 friges have already stopped working - we all got them free from the builder. I will call and get a service person out before the frige actually stops working.
i had the same clicking problem. just like NeedHelpinLV said, GE came and replaced motherboard for free, no repair cost.
The relay clicks like crazy if you try to dispense anything. Condenser fans tries to start on each click but can't. If I give it a litte help by turning fan it keeps runnig. Ony problem is when temp is satisfied it will not restart. MB is $138 so I will call GE and see if it is free. Less than two year old fridge.
my frig just started making noise today and has never done it before, it sounds like something is 'flapping' against something else from the back, I imagine it is the motor, but what could be causing it to be making the flapping noise? I got the frig used about 2 yrs ago from a friend and have never had any problems until this morning, I got up to check my emails and the frig is behind me and it just started in on making the noise as I sat here. again it has never done this before and is not very loud, maybe as loud at someone shuffling a deck of cards.
Yes, I do have the same problem. I bought the GE Refrigerator in Dec 2005. I did not buy the extended warranty, now it sucks. keeps hearing the constant clock ticking noise.
My model reference is GSH25KFRFF
I have the exact same problem. GE tech is supposed to come on Tuesday. Will let you know what the outcome is...
