Joe,
I don't think it is the storage coil. I traced the water line coming from the blue solenoid as it comes to the front of the fridge, across the bottom, through a connector & up through the freezer door pivot. when I seperate the connector and push the dispenser lever I get full water flow. So it would appear that the blockage is between the dispenser and the bottom of the door. I tried using a little compressed air with no results.
I am going to take the panel off the door again and see if I can get to the water connection. I noticed when looking at the drawings that there is a soleniod up in the freezer door - can you tell me what voltage that should read? Thx

Max,

Thanks for the update, you're doing a great job.

I was really hoping it was not a frozen tube in the door liner, but you're test and diagnosis is on the $$$$.

You can't really dismantle the door, to access the tube or dispenser, it's a "foamed in , solid core door", you'd just make things worse.

You could try this instead, Disconnect the water tube fitting like before, and just let it defrost on it's own, heating the outer freezer door panel, with a blow dryer, may help speed up the process ? but be careful if you do. There should'nt be a lot of ice/water, but you should have a small container to collect the water from the tube, also keep an eye out at the dispenser, there maybe dripping from the fill tube, when the clog starts to defrost/melt.

Hopefully, this is one of those "one time" occurrences, and you won't have to repeat this again.

FourMax,

I've searched all of my GE manuals and technical notes,

This is the best I can do for you,


DU800 - 900 Removing the inner door panel.doc (66kb) downloaded 14 time(s).

I've checked all the parts diagrams and cannot find a part number for a water spout or water tube in the freezer door(as they had in some older/different models).

At this point, it looks like you'll need to replace the freezer door.

Part number: AP3861396

FourMax,

I've attempted to check and find out if it was possible that the door may have had a conduit and a dispenser tube,

Apparently, there is a water line sleeve inside the door ????

But, I can't find a dispenser body part number, which would indicate it's foamed into the door(not replaceable) and the water dispenser spout appears to be part of the dispenser body. The sleeve is only a few inches long, indicating the remainder of the water tube is foamed in place.

I'm pretty much at a loss, at this point.


:( :( :(

FourMax,

Sounds like a good idea,

Be careful though, you don't want to melt the tube,

You might want to try using the water dispenser spout or try and clear it from both ends.

If you succeed, please let us know how and what you did, so we can refer to your procedure in the future.

Thanks,

:) :) :)
