Water Dispenser Dripping Oily Gummy Substance
I noticed our GE Profile refrigerator is leaking some oily, gummy fluid onto the dispenser valve plate.
I wiped it up a few days ago and didn't think much of it. Now, I see it running down the plastic valve actuator plate you press on to dispense water. I believe it's dripping into the collection pan at the bottom of the dispenser - I can feel it. It's slimy in the water that collects there.
What is it? Where is it coming from and what do I do? This unit might be pretty tired - it came with this house built in 2006.
Thanks.
Esta é uma boa pergunta?

Hi @tmhanser
What is the model number of the refrigerator?
Have you checked the condition of the water filter if there is one installed?

GE Profile Model Number(s): PSHS6RGX/PSHF6RGX
With the help of a small mirror, I can see up behind the plastic actuator plate and I noticed a glob of amber-colored substance dripping down from behind a rubber seal. I'm sure this is where it's coming from.
The water filter was changed two months ago and it's tightened down. There is nothing leaking inside the refrigerator.
I have no doubt this refrigerator is past its prime. Having it repaired at this point might not be worth it.
Thanks, jayeff.
