You have to take apart the ice & water dispenser on the freezer door to find out what is wrong with the chute door.

Use a small flat screwdriver to unlock the tabs at the bottom of the control panel. Slide the bottom out and down.

Disconnect the wiring harness connectors.

Remove the four Phillips screws in the door dispenser housing.

Slide out the housing and disconnect the target switch and dispenser light connectors.

Diagnose the problem and find needed parts, using the reference numbers from the break down diagram.

Here are the break down diagrams for the GE refrigerator Model GSS20IEMBWW
