probably only need new filter

[villagetinker]

Do you have ice? If so, filter is probably working, also, ours gives us a message when the filter needs to be changed. On ours there is a connection from the light switch to the ICE and water dispenser, so these are blocked from operating if either door is open. I recall seeing reports where the lights were not going off, and this stopped ice and water dispensers from working.

Thanks. I put in a new filter but still doesn't work

[Stressfree]

Yes...the ice maker works. Thanks.

[Stressfree]

Thanks...will call Becks

At least once a year, since owning our home here, the water dispenser on our refrigerator has stopped working. It turned out to be a frozen water line every time. Easy fix - no repairman needed. My husband uses the blow dryer to thaw it out.

I am having the same problem with slow water flow. The ice maker works. I will contact Beck's about this. I did replace the water filter but that didn't fix the problem.

Yep. :thumbup:

I have had the same problem over the years...with a number of different refrigerators.

But where exactly would be the water line. In the door?

Trace it from the source at the wall and you can see where it runs into the refrigerator.

Typically, right where it enters the ice maker is the best place to use the above mentioned hair dryer, but you can start thawing at the point where the line is first attached to the back of the refrigerator...and work your way up.

It could save an expensive repair call.

Good luck. :thumbup:


On edit: Yes, you may have to estimate where the line is inside the door and direct the hair dryer in those locations.

You can either turn down freezer to lowest level and it will defrost. Or a quicker way is a blow dryer for a few minutes. Works every time.

AGREE..thats what we do ...Its a GE side by Side (water ice/water dispenser in front freezer door) takes about 30 minutes using a blow dryer

Betting the water line is simply frozen. Find the route of the water line, like mine it went up the freezer door. If you keep frozen products where it travels up to the dispenser, thaw the line with a heat gun or hair blow dryer. Works for me. Bad designs.

I think I did solve the problem. I used a hair dryer to dry the inside of the door where the ice maker is. It seemed to fix the problem. If it happens again I now know how to fix it.
