The water dispenser has stopped working!!!

If you check the backside of your refrigerator...

There are TWO (2) different electric water-valves...
A generic WHIRLPOOL part number = wr57x10032
(typically you can hear the "THUMP" when the are working...

Hello,

The first thing to do if you already haven't is replace the filter,it's in the grill/kickplate below the freezer door. If you have relpaced filter,need to pull refrig from wall and check that their is good water pressure from house plumbing,if it is good the water valve the sends water to icemaker&door dispenser when water is called for is going to be the problem.The part # for that valve is 4389177 it could be purchased at your local appliance parts store on oline at;
searspartsdirect.com
apdepot.com
repairclinic.com
assuredparts.com

The filter BUT NOT the water valve could be purchased locally at Sears,Lowe's or Home Depot

I hope this helps you to diagnose your icemaker/dispenser

Hi copy;
You may like to try the Water Valve (Solenoid) sounds like it may had stuck once now has become free and stayed open allowing too continually flow. It is behind fridge where the mains water is connected into fridge... Cheers

check the fresh water solenoid on the back of the unit theres a screen in the water line to it that maybe clogged also crak the line lose gently to isure water is passing through it if not? then change the water solenoid

#1 when is the last time you changed your filter
#2 is your water valve working
#3 replace the ice maker, it is easy three screws

Your water line into the refrigerator is probably plugged up. First, check at the cut-off valve where the house water connects to the refrigerator water line. Mineral deposits often form in these small valves and can block the water flow.

The other possibility is a blocked water line within the refrigerator. Plastic weedeater line works very well to clean out these lines.

The solenoid valve needs replacing, located at the back of the refrigerator. If you have well water you will need to install a filter on the supply line.

the module on the icemaker may be bad or the emitter-recever

if your appliance is humming then your motor might be out. Im not positive but i had a similar problem of the humming and clicking and the entire motor burned up. Might be a reason the lights are fading and such... Hope this helps
