1 Answer

Danielle, First, make sure that the control lockout is not on. If it is not then the dispenser control board will be the most likely cause for this issue.

Jerry for Model Number GFE29HMECES

Crushed ice or water keeps being dispensed when the dispenser paddle is depressed. Also bogus temperature values for freezer and fridge are displayed. Not what was set to and they change each time the endless dispensing occurs. Had to open the door to interrupt the ice or water flow. Display eventually goes dark. Fridge and freezer work fine and temperature settings read normally. If power goes off for any reason, the dispenser comes on and bogus display comes up. Have to open doors to turn off. Tried replacing the dual water feed in LH dispenser door but no change. Thinking the CPU at bottom of fridge but wonder if the display PCB is sending wrong status info to the CPU The CUBED button was jacked up and had to refit it in. Possibly damaged the board? Any help would be appreciated. Jerry Jerry for Model Number GFE29HMECES ANSWER Jerry, This issue will most likely be caused by a faulty dispenser control board. Thanks for your quick response. I put in "dispenser control board" and it didn't come up. Wouldn't have a part number there handy would ya? jerry

Martha, the two vents on the left side where the door connects are both used to allow for air circulation. One vent will allow air to pass into the door while the second door is a return vent to allow the air from the door to circulate back into the freezer so that the air can continue to cool.

Martha, Based on the information provided it is likely that you will need the UI board since the filter light is working there is power there, this is at least a good starting point.
