How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off water supply and disconnect power before accessing dispenser components.
Steps:
- Check controls: Ensure the dispenser is not locked via the control panel.
- Inspect door line: Feel the freezer door area; if very cold, the water line inside may be frozen. Increase freezer temperature slightly and leave door closed to thaw.
- Test dispenser switch: Listen for a click or valve hum when pressing the lever. If silent, the switch or control may be faulty.
- Replace dispenser valve: If the valve coil is open or does not open under power, replace the valve.
