Through the door ice maker/water?
I have a GE refridge with through the door icemaker and water. When you put a glass in there and select water, it doesn't shut off. The water will run continuously. As far asI know, if you leave it on ice, it will just make enough to fil the hopper and stop. The water is obviously the problem. What do I need to do to fix it?
first two losers don't allow email, so i 'll let them know right here. Don't you think I've thought of that, dumbass? Icemaker shuts off when full, water keeps running when I use it. If you don't have an answer, then shut the hell up! Jesus, I hate stupid ******* that have to throw their two cent's worth in even if they don't know what the hell they're talking about. I can make guesses all day long, but that don't fix my fridge, you stupid *****. Shut the hell up if you don't know your azz from a hole in the ground.

It would help to know Model #. GE has used a mechanical and an electronic type control for dispensers. If you have mechanical (older type) Then simply replace the cherry switch triggered at the top of, or behind the water cradle. If the electronic type and I suspect it is then you'll need to replace the dispenser control board. To remove it you use a small flat blade screw driver. Insert the blade between the overlay plastic and the seam that runs around it. Carefully pry it out and unplug the connectors. You can remove power to this area by removing the cover on the freezer door hinge. You will find a disconnect here, Just pull apart then disconnect the defective part. You will be able to let the refrigerator run now while you obtain the replacement part. reassemble in reverse order. At the same time make sure the door in the ice shoot seals closed all the way or you may get a repeat failure. Sometimes the door hangs open and will let moisture to condense around the dispenser control board. Any question about the repair just drop me an e-mail.

I believe that they're popular. However, since I don't like to use ice cubes, I removed the dispenser so that I would have more room in the freezer. The dispenser takes up a lot of room. I still use and enjoy the cold water dispenser.

My sympathies to you. I have never owned a fridge with water and ice dispensers. I tried unsuccessfully to fix 3 different fridges with ice problems. The water is controlled by a relay and/or solenoid, which is apparently sticking.
Seems there's always ice making problems with these things, and to me, the water isn't cold either.

I think the water will run as long as you have the glass pressed against the lever. Thats how my GE works.
