Side by side Ref/Freezer

your GE self defrost is not working. 1. clean the ice and look for the heater element and your lemi switch. If you have a GE profile, they have a motherboard at the back of the ref. if all i the part i mentioned are working, just replaced the motherboard. at searspartdirect.com

You have an object jammed in ice makers path. The freezer door has something on it that is pushing into the ice maker perhaps.

Many Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators have an ice and water dispenser installed on the outside of the freezer door. The ice dispenser has a flap that opens to allow ice to be released, and closes after dispensing to keep the cold air inside of the freezer. The dispenser flap is opened and closed by a solenoid, that when energized pulls the plunger attached to the flap, opening the door. If the flap stops opening and closing, it is likely due to a faulty solenoid.

This is a complicated system to diagnose, and one not recommended by the average DIYer. I would recommend in this case to have a qualified whirlpool technician at least inspect and give you a diagnosis. Due to its complicated nature, and the difficulty in accessing all the parts needed to test, if done incorrectly, you could further damage the door, or the dispenser module.

I have a LG GRP207TUJA side by side freezer, which has a water,ice,crushed ice dispenser. There is a button to select which mode of dispenser. The freezer just appears to be cycling through all the selections all by itself and make the bleeping noise as it moves from one selection to another...any ideas

The four prong (flat) plug to the ice maker (in the freezer compartment) in my Whirlpool Gold SbyS Refrigerator; should I be able to test for 120 Volts with a tester, should this plug be 'HOT"?

CHeck to make sure your freezer is 0 to 5 degrees. If it is warmer than that the water valve wont open to the ice maker. Have you replaced the water filter?

There is a defroster built into the ice maker to melt the ice a little around the edges before dispensing on most ice makers it may need replacing.
