The Turbo button indicator seems to be always 'on'. The indicator light is either bright or slightly less bright when pressed.
We are getting frozen food in the main food section of the fridge. The water dispensor line periodically 'freezes' (I tested its solenoid - at it works).
We had large icicles forming in the freezer section until I turned off the ice maker. The Freezer temp is at minimum and the fridge section just below medium. The fridge might be about 5 years old.
Any suggestions for what to test or try??? I know how to use a multi-meter...

The first thing I would do is measure the exact temperatures in the freezer and refrigerator. Use a mercury thermometers because they are more accurate. Post the results. Quote:...We had large icicles forming in the freezer section until I turned off the ice maker... If the icicles have began to form above the ice maker, then the problem is a bad water inlet valve. If bellow - it can be a bad (leaking) ice maker as well. Gene. P.S. The model number you posted is incorrect or incomplete. Verify and repost it.

The model number for the fridge/freezer is GSS25XSRDSS, the serial number is MH439753. The unit was made in the USA and was likely bought in Canada where I live. The icicles in the freezer section seemed to have formed under the ice maker's bin - however this might have been due to the amount of stuff packed into the freezer at the time. I had the freezer setting at 1 (the lowest) and the fridge at 4 (just below default 'mid' setting) when the food in the fridge was freezing. Tonight I adjusted the fridge setting down to 2 and have noted the fridge temperature has gone up to 35 farenheit from about 30 degrees.
