I have a GE refrigerator GSH25JSTA. My water dispensor was not working even though I could hear clicking sound which is due to solenoid valve/pump. I had this issue before and had to use hair dryer to met the ice clogged in the rubber tube. This time nothing seem to work. When I press the dispensor switch (by pressing a glass against it) there is no click sound. Neither ice nor water is dispensing now. Also the dispensor switch seem to wiggle a lot more now. Let me know how do I get my dispensor functional? Thank you

I had GE come out and look at it. I wasn't home to ask questions. The repair man basically said it was a 'loose connection' in the back which is where the motherboard is for all the electronics. It took him less than 5 minutes to fix and he was gone.
Thankfully - it cost me zilch. I told a small white lie and said we were still under warranty and they didn't ask to verify. Can I get an Amen!

INSIDE THE DISPENSER ASSEMBLY IS A SEPARATE ELECTRONIC BOARD THAT CONTROLS THE DISPENSER.
OCCASIONALLY, THE DOOR SOLENOID OR THE CUBE ICE SOLENOID WILL SHORT OUT CAUSING A BURNOUT OF THE DISPENSER CONTROL BOARD. CHECK FOR A BURNT SMELL COMING FROM THE DISPENSER HOUSING. IF YOU SMELL IT, THE BOARD AND/OR SOLENOID NEED TO BE REPLACED.

There's an ice- or water-dispensing problem
The ice and water-dispensing system of your refrigerator is quite complex. Many components work together to provide the ice and water. Aside from a simple problem of a leaky water tube or a jammed ice chute, most other components are not user serviceable. We suggest that you contact a qualified appliance repair technician for such repairs.

if the light is not coming on i would say that board needs replaced and it just pops right out
SOURCE: No ice or water from GE Profile side by side refrigerator freeze
I had this problem and did 3 things to correct it:
1st: I changed out the Main Circuit Board in the back of the fridge.... very easy to do, but that wasn't the problem.
2nd: I changed out the Dispenser Circuit board, which is behind the touch panel. Also very easy to do, just snaps out. but that also wasn't the problem
3rd: I checked the wire harness connection point located behind the grill at the bottom front of the fridge underneath the freezer side. This is also very easy to do, and son of a ..... that is what is was. Moister from mopping the floor had started to corrode the connections. So I purchases a cheap 3 wire plug and cut out the old and spliced in the new. You don’t actually need the plug, you can hard wire direct but if you ever have to take the door off you will have to cut the wires.
So now I’m the proud owner of an extra functioning Main Circuit Board and Dispenser Circuit board if anyone is in need.
