The water from the door of my GE side by side stopped working. Ice is still working ok. I disconnected the hose at the bottom of the freezer door and no water is coming from the feed hose when I request water. Is there a relay controlling this? I don't hear any sound when I request water.
Has anyone confirmed power at the fridge's water valve when the dispenser is actived or tested the water valve itself? That could help to narrow down the cause between a problem in the valve itself or somewhere in the control system.
You can read how an appliance water valve works at the following link.

I replaced the water valve relay unit, had expected this to correct problem, ice is still working. A short squirt of water comes out when push dispenser then nothing. Wait a short while and another small squirt. What else could be causing problem, circuit board??? Thanks.Originally Posted by rshaw

I can't think of anything that would cause that symptom at all but there might be a slim chance of a frozen water reservoir in the fridge compartment being responsible.

If power to the water valve was failing while the dispenser was activated, the fridge's circuit board might be responsible. If power was getting to the water valve when it should be dispensing, no, the electronic control would not likely be a possibility.circuit board?
