Water Dispenser Not Working?
Nifty Nashville Appliance Repair will get you to a technician that can repair refrigerator water dispensers in most major brands. If yours isn’t working, try these steps before scheduling service.
Common Reasons for Water Dispenser Issues
- Installation Problems
- Make sure the refrigerator is connected to a working water line.
- If this is a new install, check that a water line was added.
- Confirm the shut-off valve is open and aligned with the hose.
- Look for any kinks or disconnects in the line.
If the doors were removed during setup, confirm that the wire harness is securely connected.
- Air in the Line
- New water lines often trap air.
- Press and hold the dispenser lever for a few minutes to clear it.
- Water Filter Issues
- Filters can clog, expire, or freeze.
- Replace the filter every 6 months.
- Fill the new filter with water before installing it.
- Hold the dispenser arm for 5 minutes to clear trapped air after replacement.
- Frozen Water Tank or Line
- Some models have internal tanks that can freeze.
- This can happen if food blocks airflow in the fridge.
- If you notice leaking into food bins, this could be the cause.
