Fridge has been in use for a couple of years but the water has never been connected. I've now provided a water feed. Water dispenser works but no water in the icetray and subsequently no ice. When I push the crushed ice or ice cube dispense button the fridge makes noises so mechanical stuff seems to be working. Just looked at usr manual, not very helpful but it des say wait 24 hours but I would have assumed the tray should fill with water immedaitely. Thanks in advance
The unit will not allow water to enter the frig til the temp is cold enough to make ice.
Testimonial: "Thanks for that, I was clearly being impatient, got up this morning and the ice box is full of ice. Didn't occur to me it might actually take that longto freeze a bit of water... Doh.. Many thanks Gary"
I am glad you are up and running. Thanks for using FixYa!

We had thought this was a free service...??? Yes, we fixed it ourselves, after trial and error. We pulled out the ice bin and there is an arm that is moves back and forth beside it. It had frozen up. That is the ice crusher. Thaw it out and it is fixed. By the way, the above posting was not by us--ours stated that our ice crusher did not crush ice anymore. Instead, cubes came out...

You have one of three things wrong. The auger motor is frozen up, the ice bucket is broken or you need to dump out any ice, run warm water through the entire ice bucket, dry it out and try again with fresh cubes. My guess is the auger motor is frozen. You can buy a vinyl boot that covers the auger motor to prevent moisture buildup and freezing from GE Parts at 1-800-626-2002

You have a solenoid switch which switches the dispenser back and forth from crushed to cube. The crush position is without the solenoid energized. It could be stuck or not working or the parts connecting it could be disconnected or broken. You will have to observe to see if any parts are moving and if any noise is coming from the solenoid
Your solenoid is part 45 and the linkage to the crusher is 46. The crusher is 41 on this diagram and parts list. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/model.aspx?model_id=5150332&diagram_id=1239793#d1239793

If it looks like this model, I have the service manual for it with all the testing procedures.If it doesn't, see if you can get a model number off the unit. They make about 4 different model for this unit.649 views
