Default GE Arctica Refridgerator, water tray leaking, and other questions
Model Number: PSS26MSRB SS   Brand: GE   Age: 1 - 5 years   

I moved into a house that has this refridgerator in it. GE Profile PSS26MSRB SS - made in 2004 I think.

I've noticed that if there is any water laying in the water tray, it will LEAK under the trim of the dispenser, see these pics:





1) Not sure what is invlolved to fix this? Cost?
Also, I notice when the motor turns on/off to maintain the temperature, it's a little loud. I can manually make this motor turn on/off but pressing the Turbo cool button, see video here:

2) Is this normal for this unit?

3) Also, I've noticed that the light for turno always stays on, but when you press Turbo, it gets brighter, but never goes off.

Default Water Leak

Did you evry find an answer to your water leak issue? I am having the same problem with my water dispensor on my GE fridge. I believe that the water is not being properl;y shut off and is pooling in the tray area until that overflows and goes down the front of the freezer door.

If you have found the solution, please email me at jeakle4@verizon.net.

Thanks
Dennis

its possible water valve at back of fridge is slowly leaking into waterline to water dispensor even when not energized. replace valve, motor sound sounds normal for this fridge ,it opens +closes baffle to allow cool air from freezer when needed

I've replaced the valve, same exact issue. Replaced the self piercing valve with a drill type. The pressure was doubled when testing it before the fridge. Same issue, same leak.

Yes, I replaced that valve. The electronic one inside the bottom of the fridge at the rear. Didn't fix the issue.
