I have a GE side/side fridge (model #GSS25WSTFSS). The unit will make/dispense ice fine. However, the water line keeps freezing somewhere inside of the door, causing it not to dispense water.

1) I verified this by disconnecting the water line at the bottom of the freezer door & when I then push to dispense water, water comes out of the line, but when re-connected it will not dispense from the door.

2) Every time I take everything out of fridge/freezer for several hrs & unplug unit, water will dispense again. But within 4-8 days, it will freeze up again in door.

3) I have not filled any freezer shelf more then 50% to ensure airflow, and it still freezes water line.

4) My brother has the same model and said when he closes the fridge door & tries to open again immediately, it is much harder to open, like there is a suction holding the door closed. I do not experience this on mine.

5) Sometimes there is a thin layer of frost on everything in the freezer when I open the door.

6) Temps are set at 0/37, but vegies in the vegie drawer will sometimes freeze.

Any idea how to keep the water line in the freezer door from freezing??

Thanks,
Ron

My GE has a design defect , it is missing insulation in a section of the door so it freezes. i just leave the freezer door open a few inches for 20-30 until it thaws .Then i run a few glasses of water out of the line . There is a heater that they sell with soso results .
