What does the ice dispenser solenoid do?

The water flowing to the dispensers is controlled by a solenoid, meaning the solenoid transmits a message to the refrigerator’s water inlet valve, telling the part when it’s time to open. Over time, the coils in a solenoid can become worn or damaged, which can cause the part to malfunction.

What causes a GE refrigerator to stop making ice?

Unfortunately, it seems to be a fairly common occurrence among our users that GE refrigerators simply stop making ice one day. It is common that the filter gets clogged just enough to keep the water filter from receiving enough water pressure to fill the ice tray.

Why is my ice dispenser not working?

If a dispenser switch does not have continuity, replace it. The auger motor spins the auger blade and pushes the ice through the dispenser chute. If the auger motor is burned out or defective, the ice won’t move forward and fall through the chute. If the dispenser door motor is defective, the dispenser door won’t open.

How do you test a ice solenoid?

Touch one multimeter probe to one terminal and the other probe to the other terminal in order to test the part. Depending on your part, your readings can be from 200 and 500 ohms, or for refrigerators with both a water and ice dispenser, the ohms of resistance might be higher – 500 – 1500 ohms of resistance.

Which way does the lever go to make ice?
