Possible Causes

Frozen water line in door, Faulty dispenser micro-switch, Kinked internal water tube, Blocked water filter

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator and close the water supply valve before working on the dispenser.

  • Check filter: Replace the water filter if it is old or suspected to be clogged.
  • Frozen line: If the dispenser stops in cold weather, the line in the door may be frozen. Leave the door open (with fridge unplugged) to warm the area or use gentle warm air.
  • Test switch: Remove the dispenser cover and test the micro-switch for continuity when pressed. Replace if faulty.
  • Inspect tubing: Check for kinks or pinched sections in the water line from valve to dispenser.
