2009 GE Café Model CSHS5UGXCSS
Intermittent Issue: When attempting to get ice (sometimes water also but mostly ice), the dispenser control panel will go blank and come back on without ice dispensing. If the lever is held in, the display will go blank, come back on, and go blank again, with no ice dispensing. Eventually, the ice will dispense, the dispense light will be dim, and once the ice chute closes, the light will brighten.
Sometimes, switching to water, dispensing some water into a glass, and switching back to the ice, will enable the ice to dispense.
There is an unused three-pin connector below the left door (possibly a test connector). In testing the voltage between pin 2 (red) and pin 3 (black), I get anywhere between 13.31V to 13.44V. When selecting ice, and pressing the lever, I can measure anywhere between 7.9V to 12.7V when the ice is dispensing. When the voltage is near 8V, the dispenser light is dim. Once the flap closes, the voltage will rise to ~13.34V, and the light will brighten.
When the panel blanked out, the voltage dropped to 6.9V. When there is no issue dispensing ice, the voltage is 12.57V while dispensing, rising back to ~13.34 after the chut closes.
