Samsung Refrigerator auto fill water pitcher not working

Why is my Samsung Refrigerator Autofill Water Pitcher System not working?

Problems with the refrigerator water supply, incorrect setting, a clogged refrigerator water filter, a wet Autofill compartment or an open refrigerator door can prevent the Autofill dispenser from working in a Samsung refrigerator.

Here’s a video that shows how to use and maintain the Autofill water pitcher feature in your Samsung refrigerator:

Following the use and care tips in this video may resolve a problem with your Autofill system not working.

Check the Autofill setting

Make sure that the Autofill feature is turned on as shown in the image above.

If you find the Autofill feature turned off, turn it on so it works properly.

Check for Water from the Water Dispenser

To verify that the refrigerator has an adequate water supply, try dispensing water from the water dispenser.

If water doesn’t dispense from the water dispenser, check the water supply.

If you haven’t replaced the water filter within the last 6 months, you may need to replace the refrigerator water filter so the Autofill system has an adequate water supply.

This video shows how to replace the water filter in a Samsung refrigerator with the Autofill system:

If water doesn’t flow through the dispenser properly after replacing the filter, check the water supply cut-off valve and the water supply going to the refrigerator. If the refrigerator isn’t getting water through the water supply line, have a plumber fix the water supply going to the fridge.

Dry the Autofill Compartment

The Autofill compartment has a moisture sensor that disables the Autofill feature when moisture in that compartment is detected.

Some Samsung models also have a drainage system that collects any water that does leak, to prevent it from flowing into the fridge.

The Autofill compartment and drainage system will need to be emptied and dried before the Autofill function will operate again.

These tips will likely help you fix any problems that are preventing your Autofill dispenser system from working.

If you’re unable to find and fix the Autofill system failure on your own, schedule refrigerator repair service and we’ll send a Sears Home Services technician to your home to fix the dispenser.

Sears Home Services recommendations for a refrigerator auto fill water pitcher not working problem

When a refrigerator auto fill water pitcher 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 auto fill water pitcher 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 Samsung Refrigerator Beverage Center Pitcher Not Filling

When your Samsung refrigerator beverage center pitcher is not filling, it can disrupt your daily routine. Understanding the common issues can help you troubleshoot and resolve the problem efficiently.

Water Flow Meter Issues

A malfunctioning water flow meter can be the reason your Samsung refrigerator auto fill water pitcher is not working. The flow meter measures the water dispensed to ensure the pitcher fills correctly. If it fails, the pitcher may not fill at all or may overfill. Inspect the water flow meter for any signs of damage or blockages. If you suspect it's faulty, consider scheduling a repair with Sears Home Services to have a technician diagnose and replace the flow meter.

Water Valve Assembly Problems

A defective or clogged water valve assembly could be preventing your beverage center pitcher from filling. The water valve controls the flow of water to the pitcher. If it’s clogged or malfunctioning, the pitcher will remain empty, and the auto fill feature won’t activate. Check the valve for any debris or damage. If you think the water valve assembly is at fault, a Sears Home Services technician can inspect and replace the faulty valve to restore functionality.

Malfunctioning Printed Circuit Board (PCB)

A faulty PCB can also be the cause of your Samsung refrigerator beverage center pitcher not filling. The PCB controls the electronic functions, including the auto fill feature. If it’s not sending the correct signals to the water valve or flow meter, the pitcher won’t fill. Look for any visible damage to the PCB. If you suspect it’s the problem, have a Sears Home Services professional diagnose and replace the PCB to ensure your auto fill water pitcher works properly.
