Enough with the water and the ice already Brand: General Electric Model Number: TFX27ZRSMWW Age: 5 - 10 years Hello! After reading some of the posts here I feel pretty lucky. Our fridge works fine - cools, freezes, light comes on, no drips, no leaks. My problem is one component works a little TOO well.
We press our glass to the switch and lovely cubes, or crushed ice, or water is dispensed accordingly. But at some point, we determine that we have enough water or ice and remove our glass from the switch. The fridge disagrees, and continues dispensing. We wait, trying to catch the water or ice and cursing at the beast, and it continues dispensing. We can open the freezer door and remove the icemaker and it still tries to dispense. Eventually I can get it to shut off by poking sharply at the switch in the door - the one we use to start dispensing - until somehow it becomes convinced we (and the kitchen floor) have, in fact, been presented with sufficient water or ice.
My guess is: switch, perhaps this one.
Do you concur? If so is replacing it something I might tackle? I see lots of screws around the inside of the door frame - may I presume I'd find my way to the switch sometime after removing those?
Or might it be something else?
Thanks in advance for all wisdom shared. |
