Would the dispenser lights dim when you push the lever? If you answer No on both questions, open the dispenser (the instructions are attached) and check the parts inside. Especially the micro switch (#72 at the diagram). Post the results. Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for General Electric HSS25GFPJWW Refrigerator \| AppliancePartsPros.com Gene.

Also I notice the motor thats running in the back stops when the lever is pushed. I tried a new switch #72 and I tried a new front panel #93. Niether one did any difference. What is my next option? I will return these two items.

These symptoms point to a bad main control board on the back of the refrigerator. - The main control board Part number: AP4436216 Gene.
