    Default Ice dispenser and freezer stopped working

    Model Number: gsh25jfrf ww
    Brand: GE

    GE Model GSH25JFRF WW SERIAL #FR257507
    My dispenser stopped working then the freezer stopped working. I did manage to get it to start working by unplugging the refrigerator and plugging it back in. From what I have read this a common problem, and that replacing the main circuit board corrects the problem. Is there a recall from GE that will cover this part or should I just replace the board and move on. Also how hard is the board to replace and what is the correct board to purchase.
    Thanks for any info.fficeffice" />>>

    Hi Mike,

    Yes, the motherboard is likely the problem.

    Here's the motherboard for your model you can order:
    Manufacturer part number WR55X10942 is RepairClinic item number 1531075
    WR55X10942

    If you purchase parts from our links here and you install them and it doesn't fix the problem, you have a 30 day full refund when you return them.

    You would need to pull your refrigerator out from the wall, its #801 here, just take the cover#843 off and you will see it(Unplug your refrigerator first):
