Possible Causes

Frozen water line in refrigerator door, Clogged water filter, Faulty dispenser switch or micro-switch, Failed water inlet valve channel for dispenser

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Shut off water and unplug before accessing valve or door wiring.

  • Check filter: Replace the LG water filter if it is old or suspected clogged.
  • Test valve: Listen for a click at the back when pressing the dispenser lever. If silent, the valve coil or control may be faulty.
  • Frozen line: If the freezer is very cold, the line in the door may freeze. Raise freezer temperature slightly and leave doors closed for 24 hours to thaw.
  • Door switch: Ensure the dispenser is not disabled by a child lock and that the door switch is functioning.
