Got 2 cubes and then all dispenser panel button lights went out and none of the bottons work or light up now. Refrigerator and freezer still work, just not the dispenser. I think it must be a circuit board, but not sure. Any way to tell before ordering. Is there a separate board for the dispenser or is everthing on the main board. Where are the boards located and how do you get to them/it? I appreciate any help. Thanks and HAPPY Thanksgiving.

With luck, you may find nothing more than a disconnected wire or connector.Replacement parts for General Electric PSS26LSRESS Refrigerator \| AppliancePartsPros.com Part number: AP3202258

Checked the wire at bottom of freezer door and it was also connected. Do you think that the panel assembly is the problem and needs replacing? Took me longer to reply to this thread than to check the panel. I was in a loop and kept getting a response to log in again, and again, and again every time I tried to reply.

I have information for certain GE models, but not for yours. The trouble is that some of the voltages are AC, while others are DC. Not knowing what type of voltage to test for can be the death of a meter. I'll keep searching for the correct service information for your unit.

Any other suggestions you may have would be appreciated. Thanks, bigtom
