I think its thermostat by why does the ice/water dispenser afect it also please help John K. model # gsh25jfrf bb
I am having problems with my refridgerator not cooling. One of the relays on the mother board on the back is clicking. This started with the water dispencer. I tried to get water and the light at the dispencer dimmed. Neither the water nor the ice would work. Then the clicking started. I removed the metal cover for the mother board and found that a relay was cycling on and off. I have no other way of keeping my food cold so I started trouble shooting to get the fridge running. I was able to use a jumper wire across the left and right prongs of the three prong plug at the bottom of the mother board to run the cooling system. Once the clicking stops I remove this jumper. The cooling system will not stop on its own. I do not recommend doing this but I had no choice. Also a person must know what they are doing, I am an electrician at trade.I am having problems with my refridgerator not cooling. One of the relays on the mother board on the back is clicking.

i have the same problem. The clicking sound from the back of the refrigerator and it stops when the water/ice dispenser lever is pressed. And now, the refrigerator is warm (not cool as it use to be,in the freezer -no ice forming in the cube tray). what's the solution? where is the problem in the fridge.i have the same problem.

Same problem, throwing out food. Pulled off back panel, definately the circuit board clicking, fan not turning. Refrigerator is not that old, 2 maybe 3 years old. Not happy!Same problem, throwing out food. Pulled off back panel, definately the circuit board clicking, fan not turning. Refrigerator is not that old, 2 maybe 3 years old. Not happy!
My problem started with the water & ice dispensor. Ice dispensor wouldn't dispense ice & when you pushed the dispensor the light on the front would dim. After several days the water dispensor quit working also. Then I noticed the temp inside the frig and freezer had warmed. I unplugged the frig for several minutes and when I plugged it back up the relay on the mother board would sit and click. You could see the fan on condensor trying to start. So I started disconnecting different things from the mother b. trying to see if one of them would let it start back. The four plugs at the top of the board;three in a row and one below the three, the one below the three would let it start back, but as soon as I plug it back the relay starts clicking again. So I unplugged the fan and it would start back and I could plug the fan back and it would stay running.It seems like it is cooling to long though. And when it does cut off and back on the same thing.My problem started with the water & ice dispensor.
