    Water on front door of GE side-by-side fridge
    I have water coming out of the bottom of the front panel of the water dispenser of my GE side-by-side fridge. The ice maker and water dispenser are working and not leaking. I removed the font panel and water is seeping from the three holes that hold it to the face of the fridge. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so what did you do to fix it?

    That is a problem that led to a major class action lawsuit. The way to fix it is to remove the door and remove the panel on the inside and let all of it lay out in the sun all day to thoroughly dry. Then buy some GE silicone caulk (clear) and put it on all surfaces contacting door so that you make an air-tight seal. Seal all holes and make sure there are no water leaks. Once you do this let it harden and the door will be fine. It's really ironic that the millions lost on this model could have been avoided had GE not been too cheap to use their own product! Good Luck. DrTom4444
