Looking for a part for a 2000-2004 GE Profile side-by-side refrigerator. Both ice and water in the door still work but the arm sticks and you continue to get ice or water after you pull the glass out. Any ideas what it needs or where to get it? Part is not broken off, it just stick when you push it back.

Sticking water dispenser switch
Hi Greg, you may not need a part. The switch may literally just be sticky often times these dispenser areas get sticky because someone tried to add ice cubes to a soft drink and it splashed up into the area where the switches are.
I would take a spray bottle full of hot water and just soak the whole area up in there Unplug the refrigerator first if you'd like, then blot up any water dripping down and take a hairdryer to it for a while and then retry it. You may be able to solve it without any disassembly or parts changing.
