Potential issues causing a warm chiller temperature: Poor or damaged seal on door/gasket. Frequent openings of door (compressor will not run excessively, to cause freezing of cold water tank) Loss of refrigerant (evaporator runs to cold tank first, so feasible cold water is cool and chiller could be warm)
Adjust the temperature control on the Refrigerator to make the Fresh Food section colder which will help chill the water that comes from the dispenser. The first few ounces of dispensed water will be warm. This is the water in the tubing between the chilled tank and the dispenser.
If the water from the dispenser is not cold, the cold water in the reservoir has been used up and will take time to fill and cool again. Please note, during the summer months, water enters the fridge at a higher temperature which increases the time it takes to cool down.
If water is coming out warm from a newer fridge without a reservoir, Tuck says it could be one of two things: Either the coiled tubes don't store enough water in the cold part of the fridge, or — and this is rare — the water dispenser was accidentally connected to the hot water supply.
Water can stop flowing from the fridge dispenser when supply lines become frozen, clogged, or kinked. Some water lines run through the freezer, so if the temperature is set too low, the water line will become frozen. If there is ice in the line, allow it to defrost.

Cross-Connection Between Hot and Cold Water Lines
This cross-connection can occur when the two pipes are too close, transferring heat from the hot water pipe to the cold water pipe. This transfer can happen in various ways, such as through faulty plumbing connections or poor insulation.
There is a water tank or coil in the refrigerator section that cools the water when it sits in that tank or coil. This is how he refrigerator cools the water. This is by design and there is no adjustment that you can make other than to turn down the Refrigerator temperature.
NOTE: Water from the dispenser is chilled, but is not ice cold.
Reset Water Filter Pad
After you change the water filter, press and hold the the RESET WATER FILTER button for 3 seconds until the red light goes off.
The most common issues that GE refrigerators face include water leakage from the ice maker, temperature control issues, and excessive noise. Fortunately, many of these problems can be fixed easily with a few troubleshooting tips.
To avoid freezing in the waterline, many refrigerators run the dispensing water line from the cold water source through the outside of the product. Therefore, the water being dispensed may be warm at first, then get colder.
The residual water in the water pipe may have warmed up. Dispensers may need approximately 2 to 3 hours to chill the water. Therefore, please drain the water until cool water comes out from the water tank again.
Water Is Not Cold
Make sure your water cooler is plugged into the wall correctly and give your water cooler about 20 minutes to cool the water before trying another glass. If it is still not cold, there is potentially an issue with your compressor which will need to be replaced.
Water cooler is not dispensing cold water
If water is not being cooled properly inside a water cooler, an electrical issue is most likely to blame. Before trying anything else, ensure that the cooler's thermostat is set to the desired temperature.
There are a number of factors that can turn your cold water warm. Run the water for a moment – does it begin to cool down? if so, it is likely the air temperature is warming your pipes, so the water sitting in your pipes waiting to be used is warming up and once it's run through, you get colder water.
A cross-connection happens when a single-handle faucet is leaking internally, or the pipes are incorrectly installed where a hot and cold line are combined by mistake. This could be the reason why you're having hot water come out of your tap when you've turned the faucet to cold.
This phenomenon is known as paradoxical cold. And here's why it happens. Your body has heat nerves. and cold nerves that both detect temperature.
If there's no cold water in your home, check the main water shut-off valve. Most of the time, cold water stops flowing if this valve has been closed. Hot water will continue working for longer since it's supplied by your water heater tank. If this fixes the issue, you're good to go.
You can often solve small, local clogging problems yourself. First of all, turn off the water supply. Then open the connection of the pipe and let water flow through it. In the meantime, tap the pipe gently, for example with a rubber mallet, to loosen the rust or deposits.
