Unplug it - but I don't recommend that.
The flashing light indicates that it is working - and you can see it from a distance. Saves walking down the stairs to open the door of the freezer in the basement.
Worry about your freezer if the light goes OUT.
Good Luck

Thanks.
the refrigerator is what cools the water so if that working than the water should be somewhat cold unless you dispense a lot of it. Otherwise its a bad design by the manufacturer.
There is one in the freezer section as well. It's a small white tube. I've had the same thing happen with mine. I just took everything out of the freezer, and used hot water. It's caused by condensation buildup in the drain tube, which then freezes, obviously because it is a freezer after all. Hot water usually does the trick. Just be sure to clean it up, and dry it off really well so it doesn't re-freeze and cause the same issue.
Hi,
Same thing happened to my fridge freezer recently and it ended up being dirty coils. I would pull the fridge out if you haven't already and see if there is any build up around the coils. Mine had a lot of dust and who knows what else because the coils on my fridge were located underneath the fridge where many fridges have them on the back. Also some fridges have both(one for the fridge and other for freezer) but yours sounds like it has one coil for both fridge and freezer since both are being impacted. I used a soft bristle brush to clean mine and it did the trick.
I hope this helps and isn't something worse like a Freon charge or compressor going bad. If you pull out the fridge and there's a dark substance, that's a sign of the compressor going out.
takes time for the temperature inside the fridge -freezer to normalize after doors are being left open
turning off a fridge freezer on and off wont help it
it takes time to for the thermostat to kick start the compressor
and more time to reach the freezing temp lost
if you are certain the thermostat is damaged
call in a service man
have the thermostat replaced and have them check
the gas in the system is running the correct pressure
Good day, please check at the back, at the bottom where the compressor is located for the pencil dryer(as in photo). Get a nice firm grip on it just be careful and feel the temp if it's cold or one side is hot and the other side cold the dryer is block. Otherwise feel the thickest pipe running into the compressor it should be cold if the fridge has been running for a while and the thin copper pipe existing the compressor should be hot. If the thin pipe is freezing up with a thick layer of ice and the dryer as some med-temp then there's a gas leak. If the thin copper pipe is very hot and the dryer has no temp then there's a blockage but if the thin copper pipe feels med-temp and the thick copper pipe more or less the same but a bit cooler the compressor is not pumping also feel if the compressor is running. If dryer as a warmth temp and the thin copper pipe is hot and the thick one very cold(when tipping your finger on your tongue and pressing it against the pipe your finger should stick a bit) if all checks out then it's the thermostat switching the compressor off at the rong temp.
Check the harness connection at the hinge on the left door disconnect then reconnect. Also check temperature in freezer make sure it's at or close to 0deg f
If you mean the refrigerant, I would not recommend it. If the refrigerant has leaked out, there is a leak. The system is contaminated with moisture, and the leak needs to be repaired, filter drier replaced, a vacuum pulled on the system, and a proper charge amount put back in.
The freezer is the important side- if the unit can maintain fridge temps, but not freezer temps- you have a sealed system leak and are losing the refrigerant volume needed to create sufficient cooling. When you remove the freezer panel, there should be a fine layer of white frost across the entire length of evaporator tubing... GE Compressor WR87X20798
Whats happen is the machine has gone into stand by because the doors was left open to sort it out what you need to do is
turn the freezer knob to off then turn it back on again this should restore it.
Measure the temperature in your freezer- it should hover between 0-10 degrees F... Most icemakers require less than 13 degrees F to satisfy their internal thermostat. Water and most foods freeze at 32 degrees F, so if your machine is running somewhere in-between those two temp ranges, your icemaker will exhibit the symptoms you describe... If your temperature is steadily low enough, but the unit won't cycle on it's own, you will have to buy a new icemaker. GE Ice Maker Assembly IM6D This kit is great because it comes with a "free" water valve and only costs a few bucks more than a kit with no valve...you decide!
Frost free means there is an evaporater coil behind the backplate of the inside of your fridge.
How it works is a fan is for example installed in the lower back of your fridge and the evaporater above the fan covered by a plastic cover/steel plate and now the fan is pulling the warm air from the top over the evaporater ( the evaporater is then pulling the warm air into the evaporater without increasing the temperature of the evaporater) and dehumidify at the same time and blowing the cold air out a the bottom of the backplate while the warm air moving to the top where it could repeatedly repeat this action.
Tell me what is the condition of your freezers door seal? It can only be caused by humidity getting in so it mean the door is not sealing 100%.
You will need to unplug and defrost the fridge for a few hours then replug the power. Leaving the doors open allows moisture to freeze on the evaporator while compressor continues to run confusing the control board

Turn the power off to the refrigerator and manually defrost the freezer until the freezer bis no longer cold and then replug the power cord

Hi,
First of all, the model number you gave is not complete. But check you defrost system in the freezer, when the refer section stops cooling, your evaporator in the freezer is possibly full of ice and the fan won't move air through ice. When the refer sections fails to cool, check for a fan in the freezer. If it works, you have a defrost problem and is occurs every 3 - 5 days. The unit should defrost once or twice a day.
