Refrigerator GE SXS water dispenser works intermittently, ice etc works fine

Unplug it for 5 minutes and try again.

But.....

Voltage spike damaged the control board is likely. Damages Claim to the Utility company supplying your electricity.

This is a quick guess. Look at the top of the ice bin. Many refrigerators stop the ice maker with a wire bale that rides up on the ice. Raise the bale and it should latch in place above the ice and shut off the icemaker.

Move the feeler arm above the ice bin to the up(off) position.

there is a pump which pushes water up to ice maker, it usually quits, causes the prob. 90% time

The water supply in the recessed part of your door is frozen. very common with this model. You will need to turn unit off and with freezer door open use hairdryer on the area where water dispenses and on the recessed area as well. This is time consuming but only other remedy is to leave off and door open for 24 hours. hope this helps.

solution part # wr49x10173. door heater. comes with instruction. install in 15 min. good luck.

I had this problem with a similar refrigerator. The problem was the slide switch burns itself especially if you slide it from ice to water while holding the glass in to get ice and water into your glass. Better to slide it to ice, press the glass in to get ice, release the glass to stop the ice, slide the switch to water, then press the glass in again to get water. I "fixed" mine by removing the control panel and soldering some of the connections on the slide switch together so that we now have no crushed ice function, but the ice cubes work again. You can also replace the circuit board in the control panel to restore it to like-new operation. I could not find a place to order just the slide switch.

Not sure if this is the same problem with your unit, but sounds the same.

Icemaker only dispenses crushed ice even when in cube position. Water/light work fine. Have already replaced control module circuit board.

my ge refrigerator stop making ice a week ago, water dispenser still works.

need to call ge at 1800-386-1215 some of these sxs have a door insulation issue that they will either send replacement doors to an authorized service company to exchange at no cost to you or offer a rebate for a newer model. yours might be in this group
have your model and serial number out of the ref located in the refrigerator section, about 4-5 inches from the celing down the right side and call and see
