    How do I take the Ice/Water control panel off a GE side by Side refrigerator
    I am trying to resolve a no water issue for my water dispenser. I get water to the dispenser tube in the door, but the tube is either blocked (Frozen?) or if you know the refrigerator, does the solenoid shown in the door assembly also effect the water flow? If I can get the assembly out, I can test it and hopefully resolve my problem.
    Thanks.

    Hey. I did it myself. I was advised by a parts guy and a repairman to test the solenoids by seeing if water flowed when I disconnected the line at the front of the refrigerator and pushed the activator. As I had water, this showed that the line was blocked in the door of the freezer. Additional advice was to use the line from a weed whacker to determine the location of the freeze/block and possibly free it. I determined that the block was just below the ice chute and used a hair dryer on both sides of the door, inside and out, to melt the block. Took a little while, about 5 minutes, but it did work. Have patience.
