Side by side ice and water dispenser

x1 sonny ericcson widows mobile 6.1 version i want to change my language to english

look for spare part and replace it. Several site which sell spare parts.

I think you will need to unplug the pin plug under the cover at top or bottom hinge. Check the voltage and if OK leave unplugged until you can remove the dispenser and I will try to help you from the power source. Sounds like a short in the board and related to the light socket. The fuse only stopped the short from doing further damage, You may need to locate the short before replacing the fuse or board. I have looked over the wiring diagram. If you find the short without my help just be sure to replace the fuse with the correct size. The only things are the chute heater or something in that area of the board went to ground. Do you have a voltage meter? Contact me later when ready, Sea Breeze

A GE uses a 12 volt bulb . It will not come on , if you went and bought a bulb with the same receptical end . HAS to be a 12 volt .

look up inside the water and ice dispenser and after you see the bulb...replace it with same.

there is a small pc board right there in the front panel it sontrols everthing from the light to the water and ice despensing . there are a lot of problems with this board and there not cheep from 65.00 to over 100.00 . i would wait untill another part of it fails ,and it will your water will go out ,or your ice . then you will be forced to replace it most only last 5 years ( new refrigerators are only lasting 7 to 10 years ) good luck

You will have to get dispenser control outvto see what wires and switches may be burnt.

Well, the solution to this problem was posted in this thread

It seems that the bulb in the front panel is pulling to much current as it ages and it makes the control panel in not work properly. Removing the bulb will fix the problem - just fixed mine.

Also seems to match your symptoms (works sometimes and then not others - bulb current is inconstent, light dims when dispense lever pressed - again wrong current draw).

Good luck

Hi again,

For some reason I lost you on the Chat/Live Session. Allow me to repost:

• possible source of parts - here or here;
• breakdown of parts location/diagram - here;
• a reference only schematic diagram - here.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.

The control board is likely gone bad or a wire harness inside the front came loose. With all those indications, I'd lean toward a dead board.
