If your fridge doesn't give you ice, it’s a sign that something is wrong with the ice dispenser. Most common solution will be to replace the dispenser switch. The dispenser switches send voltage to the dispenser. If one of the dispenser switches is defective, the dispenser will not work. To determine if a dispenser switch is defective, use a multimeter to test each switch for continuity. If a dispenser switch does not have continuity, replace it. Let’s make it together with an example on refrigerator GE gss25gshss.
Unplug the power cord before beginning. To replace the ice or water dispenser arm switch first pull out the drip tray. Now insert a putty knife behind the bottom of the dispenser facade and push the façade down while using the putty knife to pull the facade outward. Note the orientation of the dispenser panel switch wires then disconnect them from the switch. Now pull back the tab to release the dispenser arm switch you’re replacing. Disconnect the wire harness to remove the old switch. Install the new dispenser arm switch by first connecting the wire harness. Position the new switch on the mounting pins and snap it into place. Reconnect the wires to the appropriate terminals on the dispenser switch. Align the top of the dispenser façade on the top edge of the housing then snap it into position. Replace the drip tray. You’re now ready to plug the power cord back in and confirm that the dispenser is working properly.
From this moment you will have enough ice. We hope that our simple guide helps you to fix a problem. Need help during the process? Don’t hesitate to contact our customer support and arrange a meeting!
