    Maybe you should fix it. Or buy a new one if you have the money.

    Or was you asking a question?

    You have a micro-switch in the door that can go bad and water solenoids on the bottom. Remove the panel on the back, after unplugging it, and you should be able to see the water solenoids. Unplug the wires going to them and use an ohm meter to check between each terminal. You should have 2-3000 ohms resistance, if you read infinity it's bad. Here are two manuals: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8010163/GE_S...Side_refig.pdf

    When you have back cover off it's a good time to clean the coils which should be done every six months. I use a little spray soap and spray off with water hose nozzle. That's the best way to get greasy dirt off the coils.

    Not as dumb as the statement you made... expecting the rest of us to read your mind. What a tool you are.

    Besides who are YOU with a whopping TWO posts under your belt to get rude when YOU fail to ask a proper question.

    And you didn't ASK a question... YOU made a statement... Of course.. if you have actually passed an english class you would have known that much. And its pretty clear.. RUDE is part of your character. Since you have absolutely no respect for the site rules you violated. Not once but twice. But then Ignorant people are self righteous just like you.

    You have a micro-switch in the door and a water valve under the unit. Check both with an ohm meter and you will find which one is bad. Make sure to clean out the coils under the unit with spray soap and water. Unplug unit and remove rear cover (make sure to replace cover and clean cover before plugging back in. The best way to do this is to spray it down with 409 or Simple Green and wash it off with a sprayer on a water hose, then vacuum up with a wet-vac. Or you will be buying a new refrigerator soon because the compressor will burn up. The water valves should read 1-3 kilo-ohms and the switch should read 0 when depressed and infinity when not. You can test it on volts by plugging in unit and seeing if it reads 120 volts at valve when switch is depressed.
