Our GE refrigerator is only 7yrs old and it has stopped working intermittently. The first thing that happened, was the ice and water dispenser stopped working. It still makes ice, but you can't get it to dispense it or any water. That was also intermittent at first. The water would work, then it wouldn't, but eventually, they both stopped working. Then it started making a clicking sound, on and off. The green power light for the water and ice dispenser blinks off and on when it clicks. When this is happening, the lights are on in the unit, but it is not cooling. It does not seem to be totally off, because it takes a long time for the unit to start sweating inside. Then, for no apparent reason, it will stop clicking and just start working again. It has been doing this for 2 days. I am willing to replace whatever is broken myself, just not sure what is at fault.

Thank you richappy, I will probably have to replace it. I will let you know what happens. Thanks again for your help.
