      We've got a treat for you this time: special guest presenter Aaron Wilson is returning for another round of business talk! This time, we'll be talking about...
      The Art of the Win: Communicating with and Serving the Customer while Making a Profit
      This time, it's gonna be all about the customer. How do you identify what kind of customer you're dealing with? How does the type of customer inform how you're going to communicate with them about things like the price of the repair, or complications, or their options for moving forward? What do you do when conflict arises, and how do you redirect that conflict into a solution that is good for both you and the customer?
      All these questions will be addressed as Aaron takes us through the DISC model for identifying and understanding different kinds of customers and their varying behaviors, inclinations, and responses. That understanding is key to navigating tricky situations and finding a path to complete satisfaction for the customer, and profit for you.
      We'll be going through a few graphics about the DISC model, so feel free to download them beforehand, take a look, and have some questions ready.
      A little about our guest, Aaron Wilson:

GE Profile Fridge PFSS6PKXCSS Water Dispensor Not Working

The water dispenser on my door stopped working. Filter is good and water line is not frozen and I have water going to the fridge. Any ideas?

Is water entering and  leaving the valve when energized? 

How did you check to determine whether your line was frozen? 

Is ice being made?

Regarding the water leaving the valve I did not check that. Where is it located? I ran a strand of wire from the dispenser up to the door hinge and disconnected the water line at the door hinge and ran the wire into the fridge section of tubing.

water valve is in the machine compartment behind the fridge.... follow the water lines

and if you do find a problem with the valve,  I highly suggest you get the less expensive Samsung branded valve because GE must have lost their damn minds! Part number: AP4511357

After the valve... next check for a frozen water reservoir and/or failed reservoir heater

I have yet to get to replacing the valve and now the ice maker is not working. Should I still attempt to change the valve first?

Disconnect dispenser outlet water line from valve. Place valve in bucket. Energize dispenser and see if water comes out. If not then replace valve. If water comes out you have a different problem in your dispenser.

Sounds like stuck check valve in water filter head, common.

You would replace this before the valve has been tested? Should we not ensure water is getting to the filter?

Of course you can check the valve, just pointing this out because it hadn't previously been mentioned as a possible cure for the symptoms given. ;)

I would check the reservoir,  probably frozen. Heater has quit working.  Either board or heater.
