We recently serviced a GE refrigerator on Moonglo Street in Uniontown, OH that was making a periodic sequential clicking sound. The customer also reported no water at the water spout, though the cooling and bottom freezer were working fine. What we found was a simple but noisy water valve issue.
The Problem
The customer described a periodic sequential clicking sound coming from their GE refrigerator. They also had no water dispensing from the front spout, though the ice maker hadn’t been used for several years. The refrigerator was cooling properly and the bottom freezer was working normally.
Diagnosis
Water valve was chattering when icemaker cycled around. I found the water supply was shut off during my inspection of the unit.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: No parts replaced
- Work performed: Turned valve on, leak checked
- Result: Dispenser is operating normally
Is It Worth Repairing?
GE refrigerators are generally reliable appliances, and this model is worth maintaining. Since this repair required no parts and resolved the clicking noise and water dispenser issue, it was definitely the right call. The customer opted not to address the icemaker at this time, but that’s a separate issue that can be handled later if needed.
Maintenance Tips for GE Refrigerators
- Check your water supply valve periodically to ensure it stays in the on position
- Replace water filters every 6 months to maintain proper flow and prevent valve strain
- If you’re not using the ice maker, consider turning it off to prevent unnecessary cycling
