Here are a couple of possible problems. Most common one is a defective water inlet valve. It is the plastic assembly at the lower back area where the house water connects to. On dispenser systems it is actually 2 valves in one unit---half lets water in to icemaker---the other half lets water dispense at door. It is electrically operated so if half goes bad , the other half can still work. If bad it needs replaced as a complete unit.
Second possible problem with some GE side by side models is they had problems with the water line in the door going to the dispenser sometime would freeze up. They came out with a heater kit that needs installed in the dispenser area to defrost the water line. Call GE service with your model number and they may be able to tell you if you need that kit installed.

The fill valve that supplies the water may not be shutting off completely. Also check to see that the lever is closing completely.

its possible that your water tank has frozen up, try turning the refrig off and leave the doors open for about 10-15 mins and try it again. if that works just reset temp controls a little lower..

Check the ice maker see it is in the right position, maybe you can try pull out the ice maker and clean it and push it back, make sure the position is right.

check to make sure there is water or ice in your ice maker tray. If none then problem is usually a water supply issue to the ice maker. Behind the frig are the water supply inlet valves. One is for the water dispenser in the door. THe other is for the ice maker. However when one goes bad they both are replaced as one unit. Also Check position of fingers in ice maker. If not in a vertical position then try to reset the ice maker unit and worse comes to worse, replace it with a new one.

I have a GE Refrigerator GSS22JFMD WW with a ice

The water supply in the recessed part of your door is frozen. very common with this model. You will need to turn unit off and with freezer door open use hairdryer on the area where water dispenses and on the recessed area as well. This is time consuming but only other remedy is to leave off and door open for 24 hours. hope this helps.

GE gss22sgrf sidebyside water dispenser does not work, ice does

these unit have a problem with the water line freezing inside the freezer door. ge makes a tape style heater that goes inside the dispenser area to give just enough heat to keep it from freezing the water line.
you can try to change the freezer settings, warmer, clean the coils at the back of the unit and leave the freezer door open for 20-30 minute to allow the door to warm up and that will be a temporary fix to allow water to flow until you can get the heater kit.

Rust ruining door at lower corners of ice/water dispenser.

when you dispense ice or water, you are allowing the drip tray to overfill and the water builds underneath the tray until the water reaches the point were it will leak down the front of the door. the water will rust the panel beyond repair. you will have to replace the whole door at this point. hope this helps.

Water will not dipence from door

Most of the time when this happens it is because the water line to the dispenser is frozen. Most refrigerators have a plastic tank or a large coil of plastic line located behind the food drawers and shelves in the refrigerator side. Try to locate yours and heat it up with a hair dryer to defrost it. There is two other things it could be but they are way more rare........The first is the water valve in back of the fridge, but if you hear a noise when you press the water lever on the door then it is not the water valve. The second thing is the button that the water lever presses when you want water. It is located behind the dispenser cover, but they rarely go bad. I would bet on a frozen water line.

I have a GE Hotpoint Side by Side refrigerator Model #HSM25GFRA SA and have a problem with the water dispenser. I've switched out the filter with two new ones but still have the same problem - no water...

Alot of the GE refrigerators have problems like this. You either need to replace water valve on the back because one of the valves has stopped working OR the tube in the door has frozen and the door will need to be replaced. The best way to tell is remove the hinge cap on the bottom hinge and disconnect the little adapter put a towel down there and then trigger the water dispenser. If water comes out, the tube is frozen in the door. If not, replace the valve.

No water at dispenser

apply hair drier to spout and surrounding area for a minute every ten minutes , after about an hour the ice that has formed will be loose enough for the water to come out of spout
