Over the past few months, the water occasionally stopped working but then came back on. I thought it was frozen so I used the trimmer-wire trick. Now the ice maker doesn't dispense either and the fridge randomly stops working altogether until I unplug and re-plug it. Slowly, gradually, both sides are getting warmer and warmer too. What's failing before I call out an expensive and clueless repairman and should I call GE in case there's a recall of this model??? THANK YOU, this is driving us crazy!

If the back panel has a big motherboard behind it, remove the board and look for bad solder joints under the big power relay. Jusr re-solder with rosin flux solder.

Sorry actually it's GSL25IFR F Took the back off and checked the motherboard. Everything seemed visually fine but now it just clicks and the compressor won't kick on at all. Ideas?
