General Electric Refrigerator PTS22SHSCRSS Not dispensing water

The Refrigerator Union Connector is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It is responsible for connecting the water supply lines from the kitchen plumbing to the refrigerator, allowing water to flow to the ice maker and water dispenser. The plastic connector assists your water dispenser by joining two 5/16 inch x 5/16 inch plastic water lines. Over time, Union Connectors can crack or break under pressure. 

Causes of a bad Union Connector include wear and tear from repeated use, exposure to extreme fluctuations or surges in water pressure, or damage from accidental mishandling.

Symptoms of a bad Refrigerator Union Connector include:

• Water leaks at or near the connector area 
• Inconsistent or no water flow to the ice maker/dispenser
• Fluctuations in water pressure to the fridge
• Water damage to surrounding kitchen areas from leaks

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM replacement part designed for use in GE refrigerators. This component acts as a safety device in the refrigerator's defrost system, preventing the freezer from overheating during the defrost cycle. It works by monitoring the temperature of the evaporator coil and turning off the defrost heater when the coil gets warm enough, thus safeguarding the freezer from getting too hot.  

Causes of a bad defrost thermostat can include corrosion, a blown fuse inside the thermostat, or wear and tear over time, which can lead to malfunctioning of the refrigerator's defrost system.

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Thermostat include:

• Frost buildup on the back wall of the freezer
• The refrigerator is not cooling properly
• The freezer is cold but the refrigerator is warm
• The defrost heater not turning on

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The GE refrigerator water filter is an OEM replacement part responsible for ensuring the quality of the water dispensed on GE Profile top and bottom freezer refrigerators. It is responsible for purifying the water before it reaches your glass or ice maker, providing you with clean and safe drinking water directly from your refrigerator. To maintain optimal water quality and ensure the filter's effectiveness, it is recommended to replace the filter every 6 months or when the rated capacity of 750 gallons is reached.

Over time, the water filter can become clogged with sediment, reducing its effectiveness. Regular use and the accumulation of minerals and contaminants can lead to the need for replacement.

Symptoms of a bad water filter include:

• Reduced water flow from the dispenser
• Ice cubes with an unusual taste or odor
• The filter indicator light staying on
• Visible particles in the water or ice

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models. For the best performance, it is recommended to replace the water filter every six months or as indicated by the filter change light on your refrigerator.
