Sears Home Services recommendations for a refrigerator water dispenser that is not working

When the refrigerator water dispenser is not working it can be for many reasons. To avoid replacing unneeded parts we recommend having a Sears Home Services professional perform diagnostic tests to identify the root cause of the problem. Our technicians are experienced at diagnosing all types of refrigerator failures.

What to look out for with a refrigerator water dispenser not working diagnosis

Diagnosing modern appliances without proper knowledge and training can be difficult. Without using proper diagnostic techniques, fixing your refrigerator problem will only be achieved through changing parts on a hunch. Appliances, especially in the last 10 years, have become extremely advanced, and many models have electronic parts that are difficult to test. DIY repairs on the latest appliance models are becoming increasingly difficult.

Troubleshooting a Frigidaire Refrigerator Not Dispensing Water

When you find your Frigidaire refrigerator not dispensing water, check to see if the ice dispenser works. If neither feature works on the dispenser, check the control lock to see if it’s enabled. Disable the control lock to get the water dispenser and ice dispenser working again.

If you didn’t find the control lock enabled and both the water dispenser and ice dispenser aren’t working, a bad dispenser control board or failed main electronic control board in the fridge could be causing the problem. A wiring failure could also be preventing the water and ice dispenser from working. Because the dispenser control board and wiring connections are difficult to access and diagnose for a DIY’er, schedule refrigerator repair service and we’ll send a Sears Home Services technician to fix your Frigidaire refrigerator not dispensing water.

If the ice dispenser works, a problem with the water valve for the water dispenser may be preventing the water dispenser from working. To fix this type of problem, schedule service and have a refrigerator repair technician visit your home and fix the water dispenser.

If the ice dispenser makes ice but the ice maker isn’t making ice because the ice mold isn’t getting filled, then a problem with the water supply going to your fridge may be preventing the water dispenser from working. A clogged water filter will also prevent the water dispenser from working. Try replacing the water filter and then see if the water dispenser works. If it does, then your situation is resolved.

If replacing the water filter doesn’t help, then check the water supply going to the fridge. Make sure the water cut-off valve is fully open. If it is, check the water supply going to the fridge by shutting off the water supply valve and removing the water supply line connected to the back of the fridge. Place the end of the water supply line in a bucket and briefly open the water supply cut-off valve. If water doesn’t flow from the end of the water line, have a plumber fix the water supply going to the fridge.

Frigidaire Refrigerator No Water Troubleshooting Tips

When you discover that your Frigidaire refrigerator has not water, check the control lock on the dispenser to see if that feature is enabled. If it is, turn the control lock off and you should get water through the water dispenser.

Replace the water filter to see if that fixes the water supply failure. A clogged water filter won’t allow any water to go to the water dispenser or ice maker.

Next, check the water supply cut-off valve for the fridge to make sure that valve is fully open. Open the valve if you find it shut.

If you find the water supply cut-off valve open, shut that valve and disconnect the water supply line on the back of the refrigerator so you can check for water flow through the supply line. Disconnect the water supply line from the back of the refrigerator and place the end of that water line into a bucket. Briefly open the water supply cut-off valve and check the water flow from the end of the water line.

If water doesn’t flow through the end of the supply line, have a plumber fix the water supply going to your Frigidaire fridge.

If water does flow from the water line, reconnect the water line to the back of the fridge and open the water supply cut-off valve. Schedule refrigerator repair service to have a Sears Homer Services technician visit your home and fix your Frigidaire refrigerator no water problem.
