Ge side by side ice maker flap does not close how does frt panel come off

Take the ice out look at the flap from the inside...hopefully an easy fix may have to order a new flap moisture gets in there again to vfreeze after you use the blow dryer

Most if the time the flap will roll up causing it to hang when closing. http://www.appliance-repair-it.com/Refrigerator-repair.html

GE has a problem with the flap on the door which lets the ice out , not closing due to a rusted solenoid behind the panel . If this flap does not close , frost will get inside the ice bin , not letting the bin flap open to let cubed use come thru, only crushed . You can defrost the ice bin front and replace the door flap solenoid easily . If this is the problem , repost about replaceing the flap solenoid for further instructions if needed .

I have had the same problem. The issue is with the solenoid that opens the flap. For a temporary fix you can just squirt some oil on it. Remove the control panel (pull it towards you from the bottom). Disconnect the three connectors. Then unscrew the four screws in the panel behind the cover. You will see the solenoid on the top right. Just squirt some oil on it and it should get it working again for a while. For a long term fix order a new solenoid, they are about $25.

the pannel where the buttons are for water ice,etc. pops off. pry it off from the bottom. UNPLUG THE FRIG FIRST!!!! under that there are 4 screws that pannel comes off then you can see your rusted out soleniod.

The dispensor door not closing completely . Replace the flap solenoid and plunger behind the dispensor controls .

the front panel should just pop off,but you want to look at the solinardmthat is most likey what need replaced,let me know if it is rusted in the open position-mike

I have the same problem. Just talked to a friend that's a great appliance repairman. he said I have to remove the panel in the back inside of freezer and there is a drain that gets clogged up, a little hole or tube.
clean that and should work fine and stop leaking. I haven't had time yet, but this weekend I'll do the deed. Hopes this helps ya!

The on and off switch of the ice maker on the ge side by side model has fell off and appears broken. please instruct with a diagram how to reattach.

Is the trap door flap closing properly where the ice comes through the door? If open, warm air would be coming in frosting and maybe iceing things up
