No water is coming out

The water stopped coming out of the refrigerator. When I push the lever, nothing happens. The filter is fairly new, the lock is not on. What can I do to fix the water?

At the bottom of the freezer door ( remove the kick plate ) , there will be a water line . Follow this line , about 6 " to a connector . Push in on the white ring and pull out the line , at the same time . Activate the water dispensor pad and see if water flows from the line under the refrig . If it does , then the line in the door is frozen . Either raise the freezer temp for several days , so the line in the door will thaw , or , I have heard using an air tank will blow the ice out of the line in the door . If no water comes from the line under the refrig , while activating the pad , then replace the water valve , behind the refrig , the piece the wall water line connects to on the refrig .

No water

It is fairly common for the water tube in the door to freeze. Remove the front grill at the bottom of the refrigerator, find the water disconnect to the door and disconnect one side of the tube. Most newer connectors just have a little ring that you push in and this releases the tube. Push the water dispenser lever for just a second and see if water comes out the tube. If it does then the tubing in the door is frozen. You will have to shut off the refrigerator off for a while and leave the door open so the tube can defrost. Push the tube back into the connector under the refrigerator and wait. after an hour or two water should come out the dispenser. Another possibility id this doesn't work is the water tank is frozen in the fresh food section behind the crisper. Again you will have to shut off the refrigerator and let things thaw out.

You have a bad main control board . The new pt # WR55X10656 . The dispensor board is not communicating with the control board . However , check this site to see if it can be replaced under warranty .

Ice won't come out the door

There is 2 switches in the dispenser that get energized when you push in the levers....check those out. Also there is a small control board in most refrigerators....and that could be malfunctioning.

GE side by side refrigerator: water/ice dispensor

I bought a brand new smartwater replacement filter and after a very short time, my water stopped coming through the door.. took out the new replacement filter and inserted a brand new one .. problem solved.. apparently some of the g.e. smartwater filter replacement cartridges don't have the high enough two plastic inserts which are attached to them at the top of the filter when you screw them on... if you have taken your cartridge in and out a few times, i think it wears down the plastic so it doesn't fit properly and won't put up whatever it is supposed to push up to make the water come through.. I personally think this is a g.e. problem with the replacement filters...

Water not coming out

Without knowing the model # filter is usually located on bottom of fridge in grill. When you depress the lever listen for the water valve in back of fridge to click on if not you may need a new water valve. What is the age and model # of fridge?

No Water or Ice

It sounds like a control board problem. When you push in the paddle does the fan in the freezer slow down? If so you need the control board on the back.

Do you have separate levers for Ice and water, or do you have one lever and then you slide a switch to either one and then push the one lever.
