Product review (5 stars): Ice Surrender Tool Thaws Water Spigot Ice Dams Fast
It is very seldom that I write reviews, but this product saved me a lot of time and repair costs for my 11 year old GE Profile refrigerator. The common problems for these refrigerators are frozen water lines, bad solenoid valves and defective ice maker door flaps. About 2 years ago, I paid some service pros to install a ice flap heater to prevent water condensate from running down the front of the refrigerator. It should also prevent icing of the water tube that delivers chilled water to a glass held to the lever on the refrigerator door. It seems that the heater is no longer working, the ice maker flap is no longer sealing tightly, or it has been too long since I used filtered water. I decided to give this water syringe a try. Just microwaved some hot water and drew the hot water into the syringe. The next step was to insert the small tubing into the white water tubing that is accessible from the front of the refrigerator and squeeze the syringe. After a single syringe of hot water into the white tube, the ice jam was freed and water flow was restored. I can't say that this tool will solve every water problem with this refrigerator, but for the price and speed of delivery, it is certainly worth trying first.
