I have a Hotpoint S/S model HSS25GFPAWW serial SF242209. A few times in the past month the water keeps running for a second after I have pulled my glass away from the dispenser. Also, a few times it would not dispense water or ice. In the case of wanting ice, the flap opens right away, but the auger is not trying to spin. I can hear the micro switch clicking and saw one post suggesting I replace the micro switch, but I don't want to blindly replace parts and just hope it will work. The problem is intermittent right now and usually everything works fine but I'm afraid that one day the water will just keep running and I will have to make a mad dash for the circuit breaker. I do have a digital multimeter, but only basic experience using it. Any suggestions?

Unfortunity intermittent problems are the hardest to diagnoise until it completely gives out.

The GE/Hotpoint models have had tons of issues with the motherboard and also causing this issue your having:
