Any ideas?
I found this on a GE troubleshooting website.

Water and Ice Dispenser Problem -*Water not dispensing but Ice is….

First identify what exactly is not working. *Does any aspect of the dispenser work such as the water, ice, light, etc.? *If only the water flow is broken, you may have a bad water valve on the back of the unit. *Or, more likely, the water line is frozen or clogged. *If the water is not working, wait a day or two and see if the problem self-corrects. In some cases, the defrost cycle can cause=e the line to freeze because it does not have adequate insulation in the door. *If the problem persists, investigate proper water flow on the line . You can open up the kick plate at the bottom of your unit and look for the coupler under the freezer door where the water line is routed from the back of the freezer up to the dispenser. Disconnect this coupler and see if you have water coming out. You should only get a trickle. *Then depress your water dispenser switch and see if water begins shooting out. If the water does begin flowing, then your clog is in the section of tube in your freezer door. You can try putting all your food in an ice chest and thawing out the freezer to see if you can get the tube working or you can just replace the tube.
